Converse Resale Value Guides

17 guides to what used Converse is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. Converse resale turns almost entirely on whether a pair is a standard Chuck Taylor or a Chuck 70, which look similar and are worth quite different money.

Which Converse pieces hold their value

Chuck 70 pairs, the premium reissue, which use heavier canvas and a different midsole and sell well above the standard Chuck Taylor
Collaboration releases, particularly with Comme des Garcons PLAY and other fashion labels, which sit in a different bracket entirely
Made in USA vintage pairs, which are stated on the label and are collected rather than worn
Unusual and discontinued colourways, since the standard black and white are made continuously and have no scarcity

And what pulls the price down

Worn-through toe caps and separating rubber, the standard failure on these shoes and not economically repairable
Yellowed rubber on white pairs, which is the normal ageing and is what buyers check first on anything described as unworn
Standard mainline Chuck Taylors in common colours, which are cheap new and sold everywhere
Collapsed heel counters and stretched canvas, which change the fit the shoe is bought for

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

Chuck 70 pairs carry a black heel licence plate and a glossy off-white midsole, where the standard Chuck Taylor has a white plate — this is the single most valuable thing to photograph
The tongue label and the size tag inside give the style number buyers search for
Made in USA on the label places a pair in the vintage era and is worth naming in the title

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is used Converse worth buying?

It depends far more on the line than the label. Converse resale turns almost entirely on whether a pair is a standard Chuck Taylor or a Chuck 70, which look similar and are worth quite different money. Each guide below says which Converse lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.

How do I check a piece is genuine Converse?

Chuck 70 pairs carry a black heel licence plate and a glossy off-white midsole, where the standard Chuck Taylor has a white plate — this is the single most valuable thing to photograph. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
