Soleloco is a sneakerhead who makes TikTok videos (@soleloco) about his best footwear finds.

In a recent video, he took a trip to Goodwill to check out the thrift store’s selection.

Looking at the sneakers, he came across a pair of women’s Nike Air Max 97.

But it turned out, these weren’t an ordinary pair of Nike shoes.

They were a pair of Nike Doernbecher sneakers.

Nike Doernbbechers are designed in partnership with Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

They are designed by sick children, giving them a special and unique look.

As a result, they become valuable over time on the resale market.

Soleloco could barely believe they were just $19.99 at Goodwill.

He picked them up and was able to resell them for $130 online. 

LOOK FOR LUCK

In this case, Soleloco was able to turn a profit because he knew the valuable details to look out for.

If they were just a regular pair of Nike sneakers, they would have had a much lower resale value.

So although there is an element of luck to thrift store shopping, knowing what details to look out for helps a lot.

For example, another streetwear fan, Matt Sanderson, recently found a valuable pair of sweatpants for just $20.

Shopping at Crossroads, he came across some seemingly unremarkable camo sweats.

But Matt recognized the brand Bathing Ape, which is loved by streetwear aficionados.

As a result, he was able to resell them online for $160 - giving him a tidy profit of $140.
