Sneaker Con 2017 came to to the Anaheim Convention Center last weekend. Over 13,000 sneakerheads showed up, along with more than 250 private sellers.
Over $1 million worth of product was sold, with the most popular being Supreme, Yeezy, Air Jordan and Adidas Ultra Boost. Are you really that surprised?

Ever think it’s odd that the Yeezy sells out on day one, but you rarely see anyone wearing them?
That’s because private dealers buy them up, mark them up and set them up for sale at Sneaker Con. (And, of course, people are buying them as collectors pieces rather than everyday wear).
They aren’t cheap, but the price points were still lower than what you’d find from most online sellers.
