Published

August 6, 2024

Denim Tears, Timberland, and Prada are among the brands that made the biggest jumps on the secondary market in 2024

DETROIT, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Current culture marketplace StockX today released its latest trend report – Big Facts: Brands Making Moves – identifying the fastest-growing brands across its sneakers, shoes, apparel, and accessories categories. Based on global sales data from the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the analysis highlights key trends including the diversification of the sneaker market, gains in the streetwear space, and continued secondary market demand for non-sneaker footwear brands.

“This report underscores the evolution in the resale markets, and one of the largest brand rotations in recent history, which creates an exciting time for consumers,” said StockX CEO Scott Cutler. “We’re seeing the power of creativity, marketing, storytelling and innovation from smaller brands driving meaningful shifts in market share away from the largest brands who have struggled to keep pace. We’re seeing that dynamic play out in what’s trading on the platform.”

Key Report Highlights:

Asics sees 600% growth, On remains a top five growth brand: The running aesthetic isn’t going anywhere, with Asics leading as the No. 1 fastest-growing sneaker brand on StockX this year. The continued success of the Gel-1130 and Gel-Kayano 14 played a big role in Asics locking in the top spot, but newer silhouettes like the Gel-NYC and the GT-2160 also gave the brand a boost. On made the top five ranking for the second year in a row, seeing 63% growth over 2023 thanks to continued demand for performance styles like the Cloud 5 and Cloud Monster. While Saucony didn’t meet the trade minimums required to be included in the official ranking,1 it did lock in an impressive 93% sales growth year-over-year on StockX. The running shoe brand has used the playbook perfected by other sneaker labels to build hype on the secondary market, recently rolling out collaborations with Bodega, Jae Tips, and Callen Schaub.

adidas leans on retro styles and performance basketball: After not making the top five fastest-growing brands ranking in 2023, adidas nearly doubled sneaker sales on StockX in 2024. Credit goes to retro silhouettes like the Samba (+86%), Gazelle (+312%), and Spezial (+722%), which have seen double and triple-digit growth over the last year. Anthony Edwards’ brand new AE 1 also played a big role, with nearly 20,000 trades of the silhouette on StockX in the first six months of 2024. The sportswear giant also saw a 115% uptick in sales of James Harden’s performance line, led by the Harden Vol. 8.

Non-sneaker brands Timberland, Crocs find success with collabs: Timberland is more than 50 years old, but with increased marketing investment and big name partnerships — including a collection with Supreme as well a much-anticipated Louis Vuitton drop — the brand has seen sales surge 184% on StockX. As the workwear trend remains as popular as ever, Timberland is positioning itself for continued success on the secondary market. Meanwhile, Crocs — which in 2024 celebrates five straight years of growth on StockX – saw sales surge 52% year-over-year. This eclipses the growth Crocs achieved between 2023 and 2022 (+26%). The brand continues to strike gold with its collaboration strategy – recent collections with Japanese manga series Naruto, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Toy Story have performed well. Crocs has also seen consistent demand for the latest releases from its Salehe Bembury partnership.

High-growth apparel brands show promise for streetwear space: Despite headlines claiming otherwise, StockX data shows that streetwear labels new and old continue to command attention on the secondary market. Denim Tears moved from the No. 3 fastest-growing apparel brand in 2023 to No. 1 this year with more than 1,000% trade growth. While the brand’s recognizable cotton wreath collection is among its most popular, collections with Offset and Levi’s helped boost it to the top spot. Other names that made the top five rankings include Yeezy (+145%) and Revenge (+97%), a notoriously secretive brand that’s known for its graphics-heavy, punk-inspired pieces. Looking beyond the top five, there are plenty of other winners to celebrate. Fear of God pulled off 22% growth as Jerry Lorenzo continues to garner praise in streetwear and high-fashion circles alike. Trades of apparel from Stüssy — a pioneer in the space — are up 25% year-over-year, and new entrants like British brand Represent have also made gains (+96% YoY).

Y2K trend helps push Prada to No. 1 spot in accessories: With growing Y2K obsession and heightened demand among the Gen Z audience, Prada locked in 560% growth in the accessories category. Styles like the Symbole Sunglasses and pieces from the brand’s iconic re-nylon collection — which features bucket hats and shoulder bags re-released in their original 2000s form — helped push the Milan-based fashion house into the No. 1 spot.

IRL events boost the collectibles market: Timely events can fuel heat on the secondary market, as proven by two of the fastest-growing brands in the collectibles category. Amidst one of the biggest world tours in music history, Taylor Swift‘s vinyl records have seen hockey stick growth, helping to boost her collectibles catalog to 207% growth on StockX year-over-year. Meanwhile, Pokémon collectibles saw a surge (+1,025% year-over-year) thanks to a first-of-its-kind exhibit at Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum.

Summit of Whose Future? Girls Have the Answers: Leaders Must Listen

Young Women Activists Launch “What Girls Want,” Demand World Leaders Put Girls at the Center of Summit of the Future

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today in New York, more than 50 young women from around the world – including Nobel Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai – gathered to take government to task for failing to prioritize girls and young women in the upcoming Summit of the Future. The group is backed by acoalition of girl-centered non-profit organizations, institutions, and funds who synthesized the demands of girls at www.whatgirlswant.com.

At a demonstration near the UN, alongside life-size cutouts of world leaders dressed ironically as “girl experts”, the activists delivered a strong message: world leaders aren’t the experts on what girls want for their futures – girls are.

Eylül Erçin, 19, from Türkiye, shared: “The time has passed for girls and young women to be treated as mere afterthoughts. Leaders must include us in the foundational design of these processes, ensuring that our priorities are integrated into shaping the future we will inherit. Anything less is unacceptable.”

Today’s event is about more than calling out a process failure. Girls i from around the world delivered a forward-looking call to action this week. They expect governments, institutions, and community leaders to step up and help shape a more equitable future.

Alongside fellow activists, Malala said: “Even at 27, I know better than to assume I understand best what girls want. Everywhere I go, girls are eager to share their vision for their futures. As adults, it is our job to listen, fund their work and follow their lead. It is not too late for world leaders to do right by girls. They can start by prioritizing their demands in tomorrow’s final Summit deliberations and by investing resources to match their words.”

The evidence is clear: investing in girls and delivering on their rights transforms economies, societies, and the environment, advancing the SDGs and building a future that girls deserve.

About What Girls Want

This effort was produced by a collaboration of girl-centered organizations, institutions, funders, and allies. The campaign is anchored around work to collate insights, data, and stories from 20+ public consultations with girls and young women over the past decade, driven by a shared desire to center girls’ demands in spaces where they are being ignored.

September 21, 2024

Offers open access to cancer data for research

NEW DELHI, Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Indian Cancer Genome Atlas (ICGA) has launched India’s first comprehensive cancer multi-omics data portal. This pioneering platform provides open access to clinically correlated data from Indian cancer patients, aimed at transforming cancer research and treatment for Indian populations.

Historically, cancer treatments in India have been based on Western data sets. However, cancers in Indian patients can differ significantly at the molecular level. ICGA’s mission is to create Indian-specific datasets to help researchers and clinicians develop personalized treatment protocols. This new open-access portal represents a monumental step in revolutionizing cancer research, specifically for Indian patients.

The ICGA cancer multi-omics portal is the first in India to offer data that includes DNA, RNA, and protein profiles of breast cancer patients, integrated with clinical outcomes. Currently, the platform consists of data from 50 breast cancer patients, with plans to expand to over 500 patients in the coming year. This data is freely accessible to the global research community under India’s PRIDE guidelines, which promote ethical sharing and collaboration in cancer research.

Key Highlights of this portal include:

India’s First Cancer Multi-Omics Data Portal: A comprehensive resource that offers detailed multi-omics data for breast cancer patients, including genomic and proteomic information.Based on cBioPortal Platform: Derived from the internationally recognized cBioPortal, this platform ensures seamless integration with global cancer research efforts.Initial Dataset from 50 Indian Patients: Provides clinically annotated DNA, RNA, and protein profiles, along with treatment histories and patient outcomes, with an aim to scale up to 500 in a year.Free Access Under PRIDE Guidelines: Adhering to responsible and ethical data-sharing practices, the portal is freely accessible to the scientific community.A Step Toward Precision Oncology for Indian Patients: This initiative is designed to enable the development of personalized cancer treatments tailored to Indian patients.Call for Collaboration: ICGA invites researchers worldwide to contribute and expand the platform, fostering global collaboration in cancer research.

Professor Shekhar C. Mande, Former DG-CSIR, Currently Senior Professor at Savitribai Phule Pune University
“Making this invaluable cancer data publicly accessible marks a pivotal step in accelerating scientific discoveries and enhancing patient outcomes. By openly sharing this data, we are empowering researchers, clinicians, and innovators to collaborate, explore new frontiers, and drive transformative breakthroughs in cancer treatment.”

Joint Statement from Dr JC Zenklusen – Director of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) at the NCI, NIH, USA, and Prof Sunil Badve – Vice Chair, Pathology Cancer Programs, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
“Fifteen years ago, when we launched TCGA, we could not have foreseen the remarkable progress cancer research would make. It is incredibly exciting to see ICGA advancing so rapidly and taking bold steps in revolutionizing cancer research. Understanding the genome of cancer patients will improve the treatment of Indians not only in India but also worldwide. We, both, encourage others with similar data to actively contribute to ICGA, so this initiative can grow even faster and drive greater breakthroughs.”

Dr. Anand Deshpande, Chairman and Managing Director at Persistent, and Non-Executive Director at ICGA
“We have made an excellent start with this groundbreaking multi-omics cancer portal. Cancer touches all of us, and the need for more effective, personalized treatments—especially tailored to the unique genetic and environmental factors in India—is urgent. This portal will empower researchers with crucial data to advance customized cancer research for better treatment outcomes. I encourage everyone to contribute and support this vital cause, helping us accelerate progress in the fight against cancer.”

About Indian Cancer Genome Atlas (ICGA):
The Indian Cancer Genome Atlas (ICGA) is a national initiative focused on mapping the genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic landscapes of cancers across India.
