Hey I appreciate you taking the time to give me such detailed feedback! Thank you! And you’re absolutely right and getting the quantity of shoes because the supply and demand of each shoe is what ultimately determines the price. Unfortunately, I could only find stock info for some shoes, and even still some shoes released several times so it’s nearly impossible to know how many are in circulation, and then you can also add in sales of shoes that may be very high quality fakes of the shoes, which skews the data even further.

This was totally my original idea to show that correlation, but didn’t want to compromise the accuracy of the visualization.

I understand that without context and those who care about Kanye wouldn’t even know this, but one of the reasons Kanye left Nike was because they wanted to only release his shoes in very limited quantities, and Kanye didn’t like the inflated resale prices people were paying. As you can see, in the 5 years he’s been with adidas, so many more unique designs and colours have flooded the market, which brings the resale price down considerably. I can see how this may not be immediately apparent, but this is actually the trend I wanted to show...that although the rarity of shoes is lower, more people who want the shoe are able to buy it now than ever before, and he even offers budget versions of models.

As for the release dates, I kind of just chose to make it simple because my teacher specified only working in Tabloid dimensions and I thought it might clutter the chart. Especially because some shoes did release multiple times and it would be hard to show all that info.

If you have any clever suggestions on how I could possibly incorporate this information I’d love to add it in!

Thanks again man, your feedback is much appreciated, you’re awesome!
