Retro adidas styles, burgeoning apparel brands like Hellstar and character-inspired Crocs are among the trends outlined in StockX's latest 'Big Facts'

DETROIT, Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest quarterly trend report from current culture marketplace, StockX, highlights the products that shaped the resale market and set new records in 2023. The report – Big Facts: 2023 Trends – also explores search term data ahead of the holiday season and the specific brands, collaborations, and sneaker silhouettes that saw significant year-over-year spikes on StockX.

"Consumers are eager to diversify their closets and discover new brands – throughout 2023 we've seen more and more new entrants compete for share of wallet," said StockX CEO Scott Cutler. "The growing desire among young consumers to be early adopters has fueled interest in emerging labels and helped bolster demand for new sneaker silhouettes. While we've seen price premiums soften on releases from some of the top brands, players like New Balance and adidas are successfully tapping into consumers' hunger for something different by launching new silhouettes or putting a fresh spin on retired classics."

Key Report Highlights:
  • Nike Vomero 5, Asics Gel-1130, and New Balance 9060 fuel 'runner aesthetic': Three of the year's fastest-growing sneaker silhouettes have at least one thing in common – they're rooted in running.
