37:19 – Resellers (Where Is the Sneaker Market Heading?)
The sneaker resale market has changed dramatically over the past few years. We discuss:

How resellers are adapting to today's market
Why profits aren't what they used to be
Whether sneaker reselling is still worth it
The future of the secondary sneaker market
How buyers are changing the game

Nike SB has become one of the most influential divisions in sneaker history.

We take a look back at:

Classic Nike SB releases
