a real Yeezy 2 &#8211; is $1,035?\u00a0 Is $1,035 a reasonable price when the average price is $2,489 at Flight Club (available before they removed historical pricing)?\u00a0 Even if you were on the fence about $1,035 &#8211; what about $90,300 or $0.01?\u00a0 It takes neither a sneakerhead nor a data scientist to agree those data points are suspect.<\/p>\n<p>So now let&#8217;s look at the new numbers, side by side with the old:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yeezy 2<\/strong> <strong>Stats\u00a0 (including outliers &#8211;&gt; excluding outliers)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Total Pairs Sold (DS):\u00a0 4,944 &#8211;&gt; 2,182<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Price Sold (DS):\u00a0 $1,035 &#8211;&gt; $1,732<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>High Price Sold (DS):\u00a0 $90,300 &#8211;&gt; $3,250<\/li>\n<li>Low Price Sold (DS):\u00a0 $0.01 &#8211;&gt; $1,000<\/li>\n<li>Total Pairs Unsold (DS):\u00a0 3,284 &#8211;&gt; 1,375<\/li>\n<li>Average Price Unsold (DS):\u00a0 $1,058 &#8211;&gt; $1,941<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The two key insights to call out here are 1) the decrease in pairs sold, and 2) the increase in average price.<\/p>\n<p>1) The first thing we notice is that the total number of DS pairs sold has decreased by more than half, from 4,944 down to 2,182.\u00a0 This seems right; we expect there to be more sales of fake Yeezys than real ones bc a) fake Yeezys cost less; and b) fake Yeezys are not limited in quantity like real ones.<\/p>\n<p>2)\u00a0 The next thing we notice is that the average price went up about 70%, from $1,035 to $1,732.\u00a0 This not only seems right compared to the Flight Club prices (see <a href=\"https:\/\/stockx.com\/sneaker-blog\/2013\/11\/22\/yeezy-2-analysis-spotting-fakes-with-data-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Part 2<\/a>, second to last paragraph, for detailed comparison to Flight Club), but is also almost exactly what we predicted the average would be when we applied the normal distribution curve to the Yeezy 2 histogram in Part 3 (first paragraph after the below chart in <a href=\"https:\/\/stockx.com\/sneaker-blog\/2013\/12\/29\/yeezy-2-analysis-spotting-fakes-with-data-part-3-the-line-between-real-and-fake\/\" target=\"_blank\">Part 3<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/yeezy-2-histogram-100-w-curve.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"StockX Image\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-404\" src=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/yeezy-2-histogram-100-w-curve.png?w=300\" alt=\"Yeezy 2 histogram 100 w curve\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/yeezy-2-histogram-100-w-curve.png 924w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/yeezy-2-histogram-100-w-curve-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/yeezy-2-histogram-100-w-curve-624x400.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So there you have it.<\/p>\n<p>If we were to accept the eBay data as is, without taking a critical look and removing outliers, we might report that the average price of a Yeezy 2 is $1,058.\u00a0 And you would think we&#8217;re crazy.\u00a0 But, based in no small part on our detailed approach to sneaker data, we are able to correctly report that the average price is $1,732.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/nike-air-yeezy-2-nrg-black-solar-red.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"StockX Image\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-394\" src=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/nike-air-yeezy-2-nrg-black-solar-red.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Nike-Air-Yeezy-2-NRG-Black-Solar-Red\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/nike-air-yeezy-2-nrg-black-solar-red.jpg 637w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/nike-air-yeezy-2-nrg-black-solar-red-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/nike-air-yeezy-2-nrg-black-solar-red-624x359.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/nike-air-yeezy-2-nrg-pure-platinum.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"StockX Image\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-395\" src=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/nike-air-yeezy-2-nrg-pure-platinum.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Nike-Air-Yeezy-2-NRG-Pure-Platinum\" width=\"300\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/nike-air-yeezy-2-nrg-pure-platinum.jpg 632w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/nike-air-yeezy-2-nrg-pure-platinum-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/nike-air-yeezy-2-nrg-pure-platinum-624x367.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part 1 and Part 2 here.
