Ox Street, an online integrated sneaker-focused marketplace, has pushed live a major update to its mobile platform, with all-new apps for iOS and Android, including a UX redesign and instant shipping on selected lines.
Commenting on the platform update, Ox Street founder and CEO, Gijs Verheijke said, “Traditionally there’s been a big supply gap when it comes to southeast Asian and Australian sneakerheads having access to the most coveted kicks. And even when they are connected to the latest drops, border shipping times have traditionally meant they’re left empty-handed for several weeks. Creating the supply to meet this regional demand has been our mandate at Ox Street since 2019, and while we’ve built out a vast community of local sellers, introducing instant shipping and in some cases fulfilling a next-day sneaker delivery adds another dimension to our offering.”
Having seen more than 4x sales growth over the last 12 months, the demand for Ox Street is credited to the rise of Gen Z investors, collectors, and fashion-conscious consumers who are reaching their peak in terms of spending power. They are breaking down all negative connotations often linked to resale, reinventing the fashion and luxury sectors.
Founded in Singapore in 2019 and already established as a category leader across eight Southeast Asia markets, in recent news (April 2022) Ox Street announced it had opened up (virtual) shop in Australia, one of the fastest-growing sneaker markets in the world.
