There’s been a lot of talk this year about Air Jordan retros sitting on retail shelves. From Royal Blue 1s to Tour Yellow 4s, the reception has been split between sneakerheads who are hyped to be able to shop for beloved drops at retail, while others bemoan the state of an industry that isn’t selling out legendary retro pairs. And yet, some drops are bucking the trend, selling out immediately and flipping for more than double on the secondary market.
