Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across Jordan
- The Air Jordan 1 through 11, particularly the 1, 3, 4 and 11, which are the models with a deep and continuous secondhand market
- Original colourways of the well-known releases, which buyers search by the colourway nickname rather than by any official name
- Collaboration releases, which sit in an entirely different price bracket from the general-release version of the same shoe
- Deadstock pairs with the original box, both laces and any extra lace set, which is the condition this market actually pays a premium for
What pulls Jordan resale value down
- Yellowed or separating midsoles, which is the normal end state of a stored pair and cannot be reversed
- Creased leather toe boxes, the first thing a buyer zooms in on and the commonest reason a worn pair is discounted
- General-release colourways produced in very large numbers, which have little scarcity to price against
- A missing or mismatched box, since the box label carries the style code buyers use to confirm what the pair is
Identifying and dating yours
- The style code is printed on the size tag inside the shoe and again on the box label; the two should match, and buyers ask for both
- The heel branding differs between eras — some retros carry Nike Air and others do not — and buyers use it to place the release year
- Photograph the midsole and the toe box honestly, because those two areas decide most of the price on a worn pair
What lifts any sports bra, whatever the label
Sports bras are hygiene-sensitive and lose their function through elastic fatigue rather than visible wear.
- Recognised activewear brands
- Elastic with full recovery in band and straps
- Removable pads still present
- Higher support levels, which are in demand
And what pulls one down
- Slack elastic that no longer supports
- Missing removable pads
- Pilling and bobbling on the band
- Unbranded bras, worth very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Stretch the band and check it recovers fully
- Confirm both pads are present
- Wash it and say clearly that you have
What to state in the listing
- Size as labelled, and underband measured flat
- Support level — low, medium or high impact
- Whether pads are removable and included
- Elastic condition, described honestly
Brand, size and support level: “Sweaty Betty Sports Bra, Size M, High Impact”. Support level is a genuine search because it determines what the bra is usable for. Say whether the pads are included, since they are frequently missing.
Preparing and photographing it
- Stretch the band and straps and watch them return. Elastic that stays stretched has done its job and the garment should not be sold as supportive.
- Wash it and check the fabric for pilling, thinning and any lingering odour, which synthetic sportswear holds.
- Note the support level and whether it has removable pads, and check they are present.
- The bra laid flat, front, whole
- The band stretched slightly, showing it recovers
- The straps and any adjusters or clasp
- The label with size, brand and composition, plus any pilling, mark or missing pad
When it sells best, and handing it over
Lifts in January and again in spring. Recognised activewear brands sell within a fortnight; unbranded sports bras are best bundled.
Very cheap to post. Wash before sending and say so in the listing — for intimate activewear that reassurance genuinely converts.
What buyers ask
Which Air Jordans are worth the most?
The low-numbered retros, particularly the 1, 3, 4 and 11, in original colourways, and any collaboration. General-release colourways made in large numbers sell for far less however clean they are.
Why do buyers want a photograph of the box?
The box label carries the style code, which identifies exactly which release and colourway a pair is. A pair sold without its box is harder to place and usually sells for less as a result.
How much is a Jordan sports bra worth?
Roughly £8 to £35 depending on condition, against £6 to £25 for sports bras generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
