Sneakernomics: Understanding the Decline in Sneaker Popularity
The sneaker market is experiencing a noticeable downturn after years of heightened demand and popularity. This shift can be attributed to several key factors: the normalization of market conditions post-pandemic, which saw a temporary surge in collectible interests; an increase in production volumes by brands, reducing the exclusivity and value of previously limited editions; a proliferation of high-quality counterfeits, particularly impacting high-profile collaborations; changing fashion trends that have seen consumer interest pivot towards different styles and brands; and a broadening in consumer footwear preferences, which now include a variety of styles from boots to designer collaborations. As the market matures, rarity and uniqueness are becoming more prized among collectors, signaling a move towards a more discerning and diversified sneaker culture.
