Same shoe, same code, and the number swings from a hundred euros to three hundred depending on which shop you open. That’s the adidas Response CL in “Crystal White” (GZ1562) on Solezilla.com right now, and for anyone actually buying, that gap is the whole point.
It’s a Y2K runner of the kind adidas keeps pulling back out of the archive: an off-white mesh upper, grey suede overlays over the toe and the heel, and cream three-stripes that deliberately don’t shout. The midsole is big and white with the adiPRENE unit printed right on it, a dark pod at the back of the heel, and a small pale-blue tab you only catch when you flip it over. Dusty, quiet, the opposite of a colour drop — which is exactly why it slots under almost anything you already own. Denim, grey sweats, a wide trouser; it’s a base, not a statement.
The floor is StockX, not the boutiques
Here’s what the listings actually say. The cheapest active offer is StockX at €100 — essentially the retail price on this pair, which means the resale side has cooled all the way back to the brand number. Step up from there and it climbs fast: Stadium Goods sits around €245, and Farfetch runs close to €300. Same GZ1562, roughly three times the floor, with no scarcity story underneath it — that’s consignment pricing, not demand. Five euro listings in total across a handful of shops, and the one at the bottom is the only one worth thinking from.
For dollars there’s a single listing: Stadium Goods US at $180, which is a consignment price too, already sitting above what this shoe costs at retail. No pound listings at the moment, so if you’re shopping from the UK you’d be converting off the euro or dollar numbers and adding shipping and import on top — do that maths before any of these look like a win.
One thing worth knowing on a steady model like this: the floor tends to live in the middle sizes, the ones everyone stocks. It’s the very small and very large pairs that drift up toward those boutique prices, because that’s where the listings thin out. If you wear a common size, the €100 end is genuinely open to you; if you’re at the edges, expect to pay for it.
The Hypescore reads the same way the price does — 44, still in the CHARGING phase. Nobody’s panicking over this one, and that’s usually when the floor is friendliest.
My take: a quiet buy, not a grail. The colourway is timeless enough that it won’t date, the cheapest listing is already at retail, and everything stacked above it is optional money. Line the adidas Response CL up across every shop on Solezilla and you’ll see in one glance where that €100 floor sits and where the boutique markup starts. We track the rest of the adidas restocks the same way. Grail or Bail?
