You missed real estate 10 years ago, you missed bitcoin 5 years ago, don’t you miss the shoes now?

This may be the most widely spread sentence pattern in the investment circle. Every time a “missing body” appears, it means that an investment market is starting to be crazy and out of control. When the currency circle starts to be deserted at 3 am, the shoe circle is ushered in. An unprecedented excitement.

The fried shoes are not fresh in the circle. The new sneakers of Air Jordan and other brands are sold, and they are required to buy the AJs of the Zhengdai or even the algebra to obtain the qualification. However, the scene is still crowded. Buying a pair of sneakers may be harder than buying a house with a lottery.

The sneakers that are now offline have been developed into a large-scale online trading secondary market. Some shoe trading platforms operate like stock exchanges, new shoes are sold like IPOs, price fluctuations are shown on the K-line chart, and even three major indices: the AJ index, the Nike index and the Adi index.

Like the first two years of the currency circle, all kinds of myths of relying on fried shoes for a night of richness are madly transmitted online. When people of all colors flocked to the market for fried shoes, this matter has little to do with the shoes themselves, but another story of “old cutting-offs.”

Shoes like stocks

In this carnival of shoes, the most subversive people’s cognition is the three sneaker indexes that look like the Nasdaq index. In fact, this model of trading shoes in the same way as stock trading has already appeared three years ago, and it has laid the groundwork for today’s crazy shoe market.

The three major sneakers on the Internet are actually from the US shoe trading platform StockX. The company was founded in 2016, but StockX founder Josh Luber raised the shoes trading market as early as 2015. The concept of stocking:

Sell and sell shoes like stocks, use sneakers as an investment, and build a platform for buyers and sellers to trade freely.

Soon Luber will soon achieve this goal. StockX’s web design is very similar to the stock trading platform. In addition to the three indexes representing Nike, AJ and Adidas, the rotating subtitles at the bottom of the page update each sneaker in real time. Price changes.
