One of the biggest cooks of the past year, and nobody outside of ShoePlex even knew about it.

Just because we're not tweeting, doesn't mean we're not cooking.

If you know, you know.

Hope you enjoyed this storytime. Turn those post notifications on for the next one!

Here’s a story of how we made our members over $210,000 in profit in about an hour’s time.

700 pairs x $300.00 profit = $210,000

Date: August 26, 2024
Product: Reebok x Alien BB 4000 II Mid
Retail: $170.00
Resale: $500.00+ (For the first few weeks)

This story actually begins back in 2016, when there was a lot more hype for these one off products than there is today. Today, the herd mentality is off the charts. Most prefer to wear what’s hype (which is generally what everyone else wears) even though they don’t particularly like the product itself. This is a direct effect of the pandemic of 2020, but it’s another conversation that we’ll have another time. What’s important is, this problem is fixing itself. The world is healing, slowly. People are slowly beginning to appreciate creativity and individuality again.

Back to the conversation at hand. In 2016, the Reebok x Alien Stomper High released. They were limited to 426 pairs, and were a tribute to the original pair that Ripley wore in the 1986 hit Aliens. Sneaker Twitter, movie Twitter, and the internet in general at the time was going absolutely bananas over the release.

I was a cooker back then and was able to purchase a pair. Sold it on eBay right away. Made a healthy profit on the single pair. Bought myself a Supreme Box Logo and a Shark Hoodie with the proceeds.

Moving forward to 2024, a whole 8 years later.. We’re at another Reebok x Alien release. Our team had a meeting internally about this release and whether or not we should buy it. I initially flagged the release as a buy 6 weeks before the scheduled release date because I knew from the 2016 release that there’s a lot of sentiment for Reebok x Alien products. I also love the series. Our team landed on the decision to buy the BB 4000’s. Now it was time to get prepared for the release.

It was a regular Monday at ShoePlex. We had a few White Thunder Jordan 4 restocks on DTLR, Shoe Palace and Hibbett Sports. We cooked them all of course. While cooking these restocks, I began to prepare for the Reebok release. It was scheduled for 11:59 PM EST that day. First thing I did was check out the Reebok site. Step 1 was to find if I could check inventory. I was able to. Only thing required was retrieving the variants for every size. Which I did. It’s pretty straight forward. I saw inventory was only about 450 pairs for the initial release, which only increased my confidence for high resale prices. Then I thought.. If checking inventory is this easy, maybe I could check out early. Little did I know, with the Network tab in your browser, checking out early is just as easy as checking inventory.

Product was added to cart, and I was able to enter checkout. I didn’t check out though. I knew that there were only 450 pairs releasing and figured I’d rather let a ShoePlex member cook that pair. I don’t want to take away from members in any instance. Our member’s profitability is our primary focus.

At about 8:30 PM EST, I posted the iconic image of a face hugger on top of a human in our announcements channel with the caption Come online. After that, we posted instructions on how to add to cart early and check out. I don’t have to keep explaining on what happened after. Our members cooked nearly every pair a few hours ahead of release. Every member that was online was able to cook multiple pairs each, with some cooking 10 to 20 pairs on the initial wave. Note how I said wave. There were multiple waves.

The 450 pairs loaded for the initial release was the first “wave”, but the day after, there was another wave of about 400 pairs that our members cooked as well, bringing our total checkout count to over 700 pairs.

When the Reebok release timer expired at 11:59 PM EST, the product went live with 1 or 2 profitable sizes in total, and those sizes were out of stock within the first few seconds. Only a few pairs actually went live in profitable sizes.

What do you think happened to prices after the initial release concludes with only a few pairs going live? They performed exactly how you’d think they did. Prices exploded. Sizes 10 to 14 after the initial release were selling for $600.00 to $900.00 per pair. Sizes 8 to 10 were selling for about $400.00 to $600.00 per pair. About 200 pairs were sold by our members at these prices within the first few hours of release across eBay, GOAT and StockX. The following day, with the additional 400 pairs that restocked, our total checkout count was brought to over 700 pairs. Resale prices of course decreased with the addition of new pairs to the market, but pairs continued to yield over $225.00+ profit per pair for weeks after release.

One of the best cooks in our history, and the cook didn’t even require a bot. Only required a computer, a few minutes, and a little bit of effort.

You know the best part? This doesn’t even come close to the arguably best cook of 2024 for ShoePlex members.

Now, we know that they’re bricks now. They restocked a few weeks ago with thousands of pairs. Everyone who wanted a pair got one. Which is great for the fans of the series.

Arguably one of the single most profitable shoes that released so far in June..

The Nike Air DT Max '96 in our size range (12 to 14). $30 to $200 profit per pair.

Here's a sneak peek of what our release day early info looked like for DT Max 96's.

You probably haven't seen early info as extensive as this anywhere else.

[Ben | ShoePlex® @shoeplexus]

This ping was made less than 3 hours ago, and almost every pair shipped already.

Hundreds of GS Triple Pink Dunks were checked out by our members thanks to our instant ping.

Pairs sat for almost 4 minutes. Carts of 5 to 10 pairs shipped.

Every member buying cooked multiple pairs, manually. These are the kinds of pings you get when you're running with the absolute best.

$100,000+ profit on a calm Saturday.

Checked out nearly 150 pairs of $1000+ profit Action Bronson Scorpius 1906R's thanks to our team's early warning an hour before release, and password post within 15 seconds of release.

Two for two. If you know, you know.

Twitter had us temporarily rate limited. They thought we were bots..

They may be right.

With the amount of success from the past two weeks that we have to catch up on, there's no question about it.

[Ben | ShoePlex® @shoeplexus]

Shock drop, scheduled drop, or low stock drop, our team always has our member's backs covered.

Here's a small preview of what our early release info looked like this past week..

- Members cooked the majority of GS Italian Camo Kobe 6's on Packer's shock drop thanks to our shock drop warning and early link.

- Exact per size inventory posted for every DTLR release, so our members aren't running low stock, or no stock releases. No need for speculation when you know exactly how many pairs are releasing.

- Hidden NY GEL-NYC stock taken thanks to our early links for Bodega, Sneaker Politics, Livestock, Packer Shoes and more!

Saving the best highlight for next week when pairs deliver.. Over $150.00+ profit per pair. 🔮😉
