Why Selling Vintage Nike Is the Best Idea I've Had This Year

When it comes to vintage clothing that resells quickly and for a good price, Nike is always in the top 3. That’s no coincidence.

I started my resale business with one goal in mind: to find items that everyone would like, that are easy to photograph, easy to sell, and offer a good profit margin. The result? The Nike bundle I bought at United Vintage was a real game-changer.


📦 My first test: a 10-kg Nike bale

Price per bundle: 220 €

What I received:

  • 5 vintage sweatshirts (embroidered logo, oversized fit)

  • 6 T-shirts (Swoosh, Just Do It, old school)

  • 2 zip-up jackets (2000s)

  • 3 pairs of pants/sweatpants

  • 4 hoodies

Honestly? Nothing but good stuff. No damaged coins, no counterfeits—everything was clean, neatly folded, and ready to use.


📸 Sales and Figures

I posted the best items on Instagram and Vinted with a very street-style mini branding (white background, retro logo, stylish descriptions).

Results in 2 weeks:

  • 18 items sold

  • Average selling price: 32 €

  • Total collected: 576 €

  • Remaining stock: 4 items (estimated total value of €120)

➡️ Net profit: about €356
And that's from just one order.


💡 Why Nike Works Every Time

✔️ It’s a cult brand that spans generations: everyone knows it, everyone wants it
✔️ Vintage models are rare and in high demand (especially the minimalist or old-school Swoosh designs)
✔️ Sportswear is back in style: sweatshirts, joggers, and oversized jackets—it’s THE look of the moment

Whether you're selling on Instagram, Vinted, or even at pop-up shops, Nike is always a hit.


🛒 Why I Shop at United Vintage

I used to go to flea markets or sort through secondhand stores. Too time-consuming. Too hit-or-miss. Now I keep it simple:

  • I'm ordering a mixed bag (e.g., 100% Nike or a mix of brands)

  • I receive it quickly

  • I sort, I take photos, I sell

No stress, no unpleasant surprises. Just high-quality, carefully sorted inventory that’s consistent and ready to be put to good use.


🧠 Want to get started?

Start with a strong brand. Nike is a safe bet for testing your business without taking any risks.

✔️ High demand
✔️ Strong profit margins
✔️ Pieces that are easy to photograph and wear

And if you want to take it a step further, you can also mix and match with Adidas and Lacoste pieces, or “branded” selections.


💬 If you're still on the fence: the first step is building your inventory. And at United Vintage, you can start small, focus on specific items, and see what works. Personally, it changed my approach.

Bake the best cakes without actually baking them.

Super amazing nice
