What Affects Jordan 1 Value?

Collaboration & Scarcity
Collabs with Travis Scott, Off-White, Fragment command $1000-10,000 premiums. Limited production runs create scarcity. Celebrity association drives demand. General releases have unlimited potential supply hurting value.
Condition
BNIB (brand new in box) worth 30-50% more than used pairs. Deadstock with receipts commands premium. Yellowing, creasing, box damage significantly hurt value. OG all accessories (laces, paper, etc) add 10-15% value.
Size
Sizes 8-12 most liquid with highest demand. Size 10-11 typically most valuable. Extreme sizes (6, 15+) have 20-30% lower resale due to limited buyers. Womens sizing follows same pattern scaled down.
Model Type
OG High commands highest prices and best appreciation. Jordan 1 Low gaining traction with collabs. Jordan 1 Mid has stigma and typically sells below retail. High > Low > Mid for resale value hierarchy.
Market Timing
