Nike is on the verge of unveiling a new women’s exclusive, the Air Jordan 11 Neapolitan. The anticipated release, happening in less than 24 hours, is a far cry from the fervor that surrounded the Jordan 11 releases in the early 2000s, a time when the excitement was as palpable as witnessing an NBA finals game between the Lakers and Celtics.
The shoe’s design draws inspiration from the cherished Neapolitan ice cream flavor, featuring an alluring color scheme of Sail (Vanilla), Velvet Brown (Chocolate), and Atmosphere (Strawberry). It stands out with its Sail base, beautifully offset by Brown patent leather mudguards, and the iconic Jumpman logos and branding on the heels.
Adding a final touch to its aesthetic, the sneaker sports a White midsole paired with a translucent Pink outsole. Packaged in a special box, the shoe will be available in women’s, preschool, and toddler sizes. For purchase purposes, see details below.

Resale Value: Jordan 11 Neapolitan
The chart above gives us a summary of the average sale price of the shoe since November 9, 2023. As you can see from the records, prices went from $202 to $208 within a 24 hour period, and the stunning remark is that , even though they are increasing, they are still about 8% below the MSRP, buyers can start rubbing their hands. But let’s see what the five number summary reveals,
Minimum: 164
Quartile Q1: 187
Median: 200
Quartile Q3: 212.25
Maximum: 240
The lowest sale recorded was $164, size 5.5 while the highest sale was $240, size 10. Another interesting observation is that even the highest sale leads to a loss of $21. Anyway let’s continue to unfold this. 25% of the shoes sold between $164 and $187, see next chart for sizes. Half of them sold between $187 ad $212.25 and the top 25% sales were between $212.5 and $240. There were no outliers, and the overall average resale value was $203, leading to a -$54 loss. Let’s see what kind of returns each size recorded produced.
Observations
It’s quite astounding, but not a single pair of these shoes has turned a profit. In fact, some sizes, such as 3.5, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 9, and 9.5, have led to some of the most significant losses I’ve witnessed in the shoe market. This is utterly bewildering for a Jordan 11 release.
The only plausible explanation is that many of these pairs are flooding the secondary markets from either the Nike employee store or retailers eager to unload their stock swiftly. It’s safe to say that attempting to resell the Neapolitan 11 now, tomorrow, or even within the next four years would be ill-advised. This is shaping up to be a disastrous investment in both the short and long term.
However, for buyers, this situation presents a silver lining. With a bit of patience, you could snag a pair at up to 18% below retail price – a delightful victory indeed.
