Three major Nike and Jordan launches anchored the first half of the December 2019 Sneaker Releases calendar. On 12/7/2019, Edison Chen launched the CLOT x Air Jordan 1 Mid Fearless SE (CU2804-100) at $140 retail. Its tear-away white silk upper revealed hidden gold and black details underneath. Pairs reached a $434 resale average on StockX. That same Saturday, the 2019 Nike Doernbecher Freestyle collection dropped at $100 to $200 retail.

Those silhouettes were the Air Jordan 14 (CV2469-001), Air Force 1 (CV2591-100), and Pegasus Turbo 2 (CV8077-300). Janoski RM (CV2365-400), Triax 96 (CV6351-100), and React Element 55 (CV2592-600) completed the six-shoe pack. One week later on 12/14/2019, the Air Jordan 11 Bred 2019 (378037-061, $220 MSRP) returned and averaged $282 on StockX.

Virgil Abloh delivered six total colorways across two silhouettes during the month for the Nike x Off-White sneaker lineup. First, the women’s Off-White x Nike Waffle Racer SP released on 12/12/2019 priced at $150. Wrapped in translucent grid mesh with spiked track outsoles, the pack included three colorways. Black/Pink (CD8140-001) launched alongside Blue/Neon Green (CD8140-400, $245 resale average) and White (CD8180-100, $244 resale average).
Eight days later on 12/20/2019, Abloh’s Off-White x Nike Dunk Low collection dropped priced at $170. Each leather pair featured dual hiking-cord Flywire lacing, exposed foam tongues, and medial Helvetica text. University Red (CT0856-600) reached a $1,504 resale average.

Comparing box prices across the winter 2019 lineup highlights two major pricing shifts. First, Adidas lowered the Yeezy 700 V3 Azael to $180 on 12/23/2019 per release data. That tag sat $120 below the $300 box price of the 12/18/2019 Carbon Blue 700 V1. Second, the $170 Off-White Dunk Low trio generated the highest secondary spreads at $1,111 to $1,504 per pair.
Meanwhile, high-volume holiday releases like the $220 Air Jordan 11 Bred ($282 resale average) offered accessible aftermarket pricing. Even the women’s $150 Off-White Waffle Racer SP traded between $244 and $245 on the aftermarket. Strong holiday demand lifted both retro basketball and lifestyle runners alike. The table below summarizes the key release dates, style codes, box prices, and aftermarket averages.

What Were the Resale Payouts and Seller Fees on 2019 Holiday Grails?

How Did Collectors Secure 2019 Holiday Drops Across SNKRS and Shopify?
Tackling the packed December 2019 Sneaker Releases schedule required splitting checkout setups across Nike SNKRS, Yeezy Supply, Footsites, and Shopify boutiques. The 12/14/2019 Air Jordan 11 Bred ($220 list) released in large family-size allocations across mall chains. Conversely, the 12/20/2019 Off-White Dunk Low trio ($170 list) dropped via tighter SNKRS Draws and tier-zero boutiques.
- Multi-Platform Checkout Software: All-in-one automation suites such as Valor AIO, Cybersole, Stellar AIO, and NikeShoeBot allow collectors to run simultaneous task groups across Shopify, Footsites, and SNKRS.
- Archive Care & Storage: Keep 2019 translucent outsoles on the Bred 11 and Waffle Racer SP in dark, climate-controlled storage to slow down rubber oxidation.
- Yeezy Sizing Rule: Order 0.5 size up on the 2019 Yeezy 350 V2 Yeezreel, Yecheil, 500 High Slate, and 700 V3 Azael due to their snug toe boxes.
Checking style codes on the interior size tag and verifying secondary lace bags helps buyers authenticate deadstock 2019 pairs.
Which three Off-White x Nike Dunk Low colorways dropped on 12/20/2019?
The $170 retail pack released in University Red (CT0856-600, $1,504 resale average), Pine Green (CT0856-100, $1,399 average), and Michigan Black/Yellow (CT0856-700, $1,111 average).
Why was the 2019 Yeezy 700 V3 Azael priced at $180 instead of $300?
Unlike the $300 retail Yeezy Boost 700 Carbon Blue, the $180 retail Azael replaced full-length Boost cushioning with an EVA foam midsole inside a glow-in-the-dark RPU cage.
