The world of resale is a place of great forgiveness. It gives you a second chance to cop the pieces that you slept on or were beaten to checkout on the first time around. That’s a rare luxury, but it often comes at a price. Some items, depending on exclusivity and desirability, can hit dizzying price tags which make up headlines week on week. What we hear less about, though, is that it's possible to find your pieces under retail price at resale, too.
That’s right. You missed out the first time, went to find it on StockX, ready to pay up, and realized that those kicks are now actually cheaper than they originally were. It’s rare, but it happens. Below, we’ve detailed the best items that fit that mold: they’re currently selling for less than their retail price at StockX.
Spanning sneakers, electronics, collectibles, and streetwear, there are under-retail gems across the board here. A word of warning though: while all of these items were taken from the Under Retail category on StockX, that doesn’t mean that all sizes are available for less than retail. Be sure to check whether you’re one of the lucky ones before copping.
See the best items to cop for under retail at StockX below.
