Used Adidas shoes and footwear typically sell for $22 to $178 (about £16 to £132) depending on the pair and its condition. Used footwear sells well when the seller answers the two questions every buyer has and most listings ignore: how much life is left in the sole, and whether the upper is real leather or a synthetic. A photograph from underneath settles the first, and the material stamp inside the shoe settles the second.

Sizing and fit on Adidas shoes and footwear
Adidas prints UK sizing on its footwear rather than US, which catches out buyers converting from other sportswear brands. Its cushioning pellets yellow with age and ultraviolet exposure, visibly on pale midsoles.
- The heritage three-stripe silhouettes are the resale market and are searched by colourway
- Performance running models are discounted heavily new and sell used on condition alone
- Football boots are their own market again and are chosen on stud pattern and surface as much as on size
What to check before you buy
Photograph a pale midsole in daylight. Yellowing is oxidation rather than dirt, it cannot be cleaned off, and describing it as marks a buyer can wash away causes a dispute.
For the checks that apply to any used shoes and footwear regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used shoes and footwear.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $100 Adidas pair, a marketplace charging 20% takes $20, one charging 13.6% takes $14 and one charging 10% takes $10. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $100.
Listing your Adidas shoes and footwear
- Include the box if you still have it and say so in the title. On collectable styles the box is a meaningful share of what the buyer is paying for
- Clean them properly and replace worn heel tips before photographing. A fresh tip costs very little and removes the first objection a buyer raises

Questions
Can yellowed midsoles be cleaned?
Not really. The discolouration is the material oxidising rather than surface dirt, so cleaning removes grime but not the colour. Photograph it honestly in daylight and price the pair accordingly.
