How Air Jordans & Yeezys End Up at Stores Like Marshalls & TJ Maxx

The tales of people walking into a Marshalls or Ross and finding a pair long-gone, hyped sneakers for a fraction of their original retail price have become things of lore. Instagram has been littered with stories of coveted shoes being found at these discount stores, and the Fragment x Air Jordan 1s, which have a resale value of around $1,800, recently popped up at Marshalls and set the Internet ablaze.

There’s always a bit of skepticism when these sneakers are found at Marshalls, mainly because everyone is in disbelief. Included in that bunch is Victor Cruz, who found an unreleased version of his own signature Nike sneaker at the retailer this past year.
