Program update: more savings!
Aug. 1, 2025

From now on, if you trade with a Trusted Trader, your service fee will be just $15—even if you yourself don’t have status (yet).

When we launched this program, we said that our #1 goal was to bring down our prices as much as possible. We were serious about that…

How it works

If you are a Trusted Trader, you'll:

Ship your shoes directly to your trade partner after Tradeblock authenticates the shoes you'll be receiving
Be required to take detailed photos of your shoes and shipments before dropping them off
Save time and money — but you'll also be held to a very high standard, and held accountable for messing up

If you’re trading with a Trusted Trader, you'll:

Only pay $15 in service fees
Get $200 in included protection, with the option to add more

Still have the option to have Tradeblock authenticate their shoes before you receive them
Be able to file a dispute if anything goes wrong

Why we are doing this

"We still remember the times when even buying Jordans at retail price was out of the question because money was tight. Trading is about helping people get their grails without having to spend a ton of money.

My goal at the end of the day is pretty simple: do everything we can to bring our prices down while all of the other prices in your life are going up."
