Sneakers - January 4, 2019

Looking Back at the NYC Drop-Off

Jamie Delaney

Associate Creative Director @ StockX

From December 20th to 30th in 2018, we opened a spot for our customers to drop off sneakers and streetwear they sold on StockX in lower Manhattan, then get paid out instantly. Here's how it went down.

While 2019 may still have that new shoe smell, we canā€™t help but keep thinking about the way we closed out 2018 in New York. If you live in the NYC area, and sell sneakers or streetwear on StockX, hopefully you caught us at our second Drop-Off activation for all StockX sellers of sneakers and streetwear.

For 10 days we opened our doors to StockX sellers to drop off items they sold on our platform at 393 Broadway. Our team of authenticators on-site were able to process and verify items in-person so that sellers could get paid out ASAP. As we were getting the spot set up and ready to open doors, we had a feeling StockX customers would be excited, but we couldnā€™t have predicted how excited exactly.

Over the 9 days we were open, thousands of customers came through to drop off sneakers and streetwear they sold on StockX to get paid out ASAP. Proving once and for all that the best holiday gift is cash in your account.

But the best part of it all? The love and support we got from you, our fans, followers, and customers that came through to show love. Some of you waited hours to get in and drop off items, some of you had never heard of StockX before, but you all came through excited to check us out. Whether it was a thank you email or a shout out in a tweet, we noticed, and appreciated it thoroughly. Itā€™s only making us want to do this again ASAP.

On that note, see you soon.

 

Live from New York it's the Drop-Off squad. Thanks again for coming through, selling, and showing some love. We'll see you all soon.
