// April ’26 resale floor cracks open. The grail is now a garment, not a receipt.

Lost & Found J1 prints $300
The ’23 Chicago drop that cleared $500–600 on StockX now scans $300 flat — still a premium on $180 retail, but the secondary multiple has compressed 40% in twelve months. NPR called it the sneakerhead-era obituary. Nike restocked the "rare" Panda Dunk and Reimagined 3 until the exclusivity math broke.

Kapital Boro holds $1,450
Bone Boro patchwork jackets clearing at Tokyo Ebisu and Shibuya Parco at full tag — no discount cycle, no resale oversupply. The craft tier runs on slow production (≈40 units per colorway, hand-stitched in Kojima) so the price floor is the price ceiling.

NB 990v6 MiUSA · Teddy-era supply
SS26 Made-in-USA drop 4 lands the 1300 and 992 colorways in April with the 990v6 holding its $210 list through secondary. Soleretriever inventory clears without theater. This is the last sneaker in the category that compounds without resale premium — which is the whole point.

Supreme Wk8 · Mike Kelley lands soft
SS26 Week 8 dropped yesterday (Apr 16) — the Mike Kelley Foundation capsule plus a Vans trio. Box-logo tee resale now pricing $60 against a 2022 comp of $130, with full-price sell-through at ~94% vs. 11-minute wipeouts three years ago. The logo doesn't carry anymore.

Corteiz · AUMM run the community drop
BoF and Streetwear Studios both flagged the exit ramp: hype drops giving way to loyalty-gated drops. Corteiz has tuned RULES-to-ship allocation on the last three releases; AUMM is capping at verified holders. Bots lose. The customer wins back the receipt.
