The sneaker resale market thrives on data-driven strategies, and CNfans' revolutionary automated spreadsheet
How the CNfans Heat Index Works
CNfans' proprietary crawlers parse transactions from StockX, GOAT, and regional platforms like Poizon every 90 minutes tracking:
- 48-hour sales velocity
- Price premiums over retail
- Instant sell-out rates
The algorithm weights these metrics to produce localized rankings that update quasi-live—a gamechanger for capitalizing on micro-trends.
December 2023 Regional MVPs
North America: Neon Rebellion
The "Hyper Cobalt" NJD (Non-Jordan Dunk) debuted as America's fastest-selling colorway with a 214% resale spike. Regional data shows:
- Fluorescent accents outsell neutrals 3:1
- Limited collaborations (especially Stüssy 55%) exceed baseline saturation
- Women's extended sizing trades 28% quicker than standard runs
Asia: Retro Revival Reigns
While the West chases novelty, Asian markets drive classic reissues to new highs:
Model | Resale Multiple |
---|---|
2001 "Dark Dynamite" Test Sample Replica | 5.2× retail |
2015 "Derby Red" Retro Plus | 3.8× retail |
The spreadsheet flags when vintage-inspired styles achieve >80% Asia-originated transactions—a key procurement trigger.
Optimizing Buy Routes
Smart resellers cross-reference CNfans data with:
- Platform latency
- Size distribution
- Tax implications
This creates colorway-specific "attack plans"—like pre-arranging Japanese contacts for patent leather drops given their local 73% resale retention rate.
