The sneaker resale market is worth a massive $1 billion and these are the sneakerheads driving it

Sneakers are a $55 billion global industry. The secondary market for rare and limited-release sneakers is estimated to be worth over a $1 billion. This is fueled by Nike and its long standing Jordan brand. People wait in lines for hours and spend tens of thousands of dollars just to get their hands on the latest pair of sneakers.

To understand the world of sneaker collectors — better known as "sneakerheads" — we spoke with those who know it best, including collector Lex Sadler and dealer Jae Tips, top New York City resellers Flight Club and Stadium Goods, as well as SOLEcial Studies teacher Fresco Wilson.
