In the competitive sneaker resale market, understanding pricing dynamics is crucial. This study examines Hoobuy's Nike product positioning across major platforms using data from Hoobuy Spreadsheet
Research Methodology
We analyzed 1,200 Nike products across three pricing tiers:
- Entry-level (￥200-500 range)
- Mid-tier (￥500-1,200 range)
- Premium (￥1,200+ range)
Data was scraped weekly from January - March 2024 to track price fluctuations against competitors like StockX, GOAT, and domestic Chinese platforms.
Price Elasticity Findings
| Product Category | Avg. Price Diff. | Elasticity Coefficient | Conversion Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Retro Jordans | 12% below market | 1.42 | +22% conversions |
| Performance Running | 6% above market | 0.83 | -7% conversions |
| Collaborations | 18% below market | 2.15 | +34% conversions |
The data reveals asymmetric elasticity patterns - collaborative limited editions show highest sensitivity to price adjustments while performance models maintain stable demand despite premium pricing.
