1. Nike Jordan 13 Red Flint- Release Date: Saturday, May 1st 2021

Air Jordan 13 Red Flint Release Date Price 2
Nike

Retail: $190
Peak Resale Value: $250

A fresh take on an OG Flint, this red iteration is starting the month off strong.

Although it doesn’t have the beefiest profits, it’s on the radar for many sneakerheads.

Sizes in the range of 8-10 will be the quickest to sell both on the primary and secondary markets.

2. Yeezy 500 Enflame- Release Date: Saturday, May 8th 2021

YEEZY 500 ENFLAME

Retail: $200
Peak Resale Value: $300

Despite (or maybe because of) more press about Kanye making the Yeezy brand more accessible and cheaper, the Adidas line of Yeezys is still going strong.

Here we see what is possibly the most eye catching colorway of the 500 yet, the orange splashed blue and purplish Enflame, looking like someone had fun splashing colors on a Desert Rat.

This was also a release that was pushed from April to May, helping to make this month super stacked.

3. Nike Sb Dunk Stingwater Magic Mushroom- Release Date: Monday, May 10th 2021

Retail:$125
Peak Resale Value: $800~

This first SB drop of May is forecasted to have up to a 7x ROI (return on investment), putting it up there amongst other grails of 2021.

Streetwear brand Stingwater may not be well known to most, but this trippy-clean design will sure turn heads of almost everyone.

Any size is good to go after, and having access to bots and/or monitors will give you the highest chances of grabbing some.

profitable-shoes-2021-reselling-hustle

Retail: $100
Peak Resale Value-$500~

A women’s only shoe, go for larger sizes. People have been paying upwards of $1000 as of early April on StockX, but expect prices to consolidate as time goes by.

9. Nike Dunk Low UNC University blue – Release date: Thursday, May 20th 2021

NIKE DUNK LOW UNIVERSITY BLUE

Retail: $100
Peak Resale Value: $300~

You can’t really go wrong with UNC inspired University Blue and white on a Nike, and we welcome the colorway with open arms on a dunk low.

Look out for these in both men’s and GS sizing–both will be profitable.

10. Nike Dunk Low Laser Orange- Release Date: Thursday, May 27th 2021

profitable-shoes-2021-reselling-hustle

Retail: $100
Peak Resale Value: $250~

Here’s another one for the ladies to cap off Dunk szn of Money May.

This sunny laser orange will surely be a summer favorite for the female hypebeasts, and the men that get their hands on larger sizes.

11. Yeezy Foam Runner Mineral Blue- Release Date: Saturday, May 29th 2021

resell-shoes-how-to-make-money-high-value

Retail: $80
Peak Resale: $400~

A lot like Ye himself, the amount of hate on the love/hate spectrum is doing nothing to stop the Foam Runner–which has a low initial investment (if you’re flipping them) of just $80–from posting big resale numbers on the aftermarket.

Navigating Yeezy Supply and/or Adidas is the most popular bet for getting these–although by no means the easiest for beginners.

12. Nike SB Dunk Low ‘What The P-Rod’ – Release Date: Saturday, May 22nd 2021 (EU)

profitable-shoes-2021-reselling-hustle
Retail: NA
Estimated Resell $800+

Retail price is not confirmed but we expect it to be in the ballpark of $120 USD.

What The P-Rod is a unique Dunk Low with a special colorway, which I believe will be flying off the shelves with an extremely profitable resell tag no matter what size you can get your hands on.

13. Ambush x Nike Dunk High ‘Deep Royal Blue’ – Expected Release Date: Tuesday, May 18th 2021
profitable-shoes-2021-reselling-hustle

Retail: $180
Avarage Resale: $400

Ambush Nike Dunk High has performed tremendously well over time and this won’t be an exception.

We expect that the Chicago colorway is up next and will probably take the lead in resell value even though this colorway is super profitable.
This is a must cop for any reseller.

This month, if you are able to get your hands on one pair of each drop (some get multiple), you would make an investment of around $1300.

At peak resale value, the total value of all the pairs would be close to $4000–meaning you’d profit close to $3000!

If you haven’t started flipping shoes yet, now is an excellent month to start in this multi billion dollar aftermarket.

Of course, this business is easier said than done, but if you’re willing to learn, you’re in the right spot.

We post individual guides on our blog here for each of the hottest shoes on our blog. For those who are ready to fully commit, our flagship Hypemaster Playbook was recently updated to keep its status as the top all in one guide on how to become a high level shoe plug.

Keep an eye out for any updates as news is always subject to change, and above all, best of luck and keep hustling–with persistence, all of your financial dreams are possible!

Thanks guys and take care
