Roger Federer and Michael Jordan have gotten together to fuse the Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 with the Air Jordan 3 for a combination that left many people speechless. The potential in this release wasn’t shown initially until it was officially announced and given an extremely limited label.

Nike Air branding on the heel added to the hype, cause the community loves when sneakers feature OG branding.

Avg. Price $451.39
The Nike Zoom Vapor AJ3 “White” held extreme anticipation from a variety of factors including its colorway, OG branding, endorsement from legendary players, and limited availability.

The sneaker has sold for nearly $1000 at its peak and easily averages $400-$500 every day of the week. At its average price of $451, the sneaker grosses a $250 profit which means that one sale of the Nike Zoom Vapor AJ3 “White” on the resell market can account for two pairs and then some.

Hype has amassed before the release and continued well after the Nike Zoom Vapor AJ3 “White” dropped, sporting a sell-through rate of 59.98%. Just over 900 pairs were listed with more than half of the pairs selling easily for over double the retail price.
Irony exists when a fusion based off of a classic sneaker / colorway sells at a higher rate and higher price price compared to the original inspiration. The Air Jordan 3 “88” averages at a price much lower and its 2011 version fetches even lower prices compared to the Nike Zoom Vapor AJ3 “White”. Reselling was an extremely smart move and if you picked up more than one pair, you had a huge advantage in getting a free pair out of your profit. Let us know if you believe the Nike Zoom Vapor AJ3 “White” deserved its hype and stay tuned to ShoeFAX for the latest sales analysis of your favorite kicks.
