Used Nike shoes and footwear typically sell for $23 to $186 (about £17 to £138) 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 Nike shoes and footwear
Nike sizing varies by model rather than across the brand, so the same number fits differently between silhouettes, and the style code on the inner tag identifies the exact shoe and colourway. Polyurethane midsoles on older pairs degrade with age.
- The heritage silhouettes are the resale market here and are searched by style code and colourway
- Current performance ranges are discounted often enough new that they need to be priced accordingly
- Stored pairs can fail without being worn, so age matters as much as use on this brand
What to check before you buy
Photograph the size tag with its style code and date, and check the midsole for yellowing and crumbling. Hydrolysis affects unworn pairs too and cannot be reversed.
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 $104 Nike pair, a marketplace charging 20% takes $21, one charging 13.6% takes $14 and one charging 10% takes $10. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $104.
Listing your Nike shoes and footwear
- Clean them properly and replace worn heel tips before photographing. A fresh tip costs very little and removes the first objection a buyer raises
- Photograph the pair from the side, from above, from underneath and inside the collar. Four honest shots outperform ten flattering ones

Questions
Why do old Nike midsoles crumble?
Polyurethane absorbs moisture over years and breaks down whether or not the shoe has been worn, so a deadstock pair from the wrong era can fall apart on first use. Check the date on the size tag and press the midsole before buying.
