Independent analysis from live listing data.
Seven well-covered models carry a FADING label on EU Vinted as of 8 October 2026, including New Balance 530, New Balance 9060, Nike Air Force 1 and Levi's 501.
FADING momentum
Resale IQ labels a model FADING when recent watched departures (listings that left the shelf) are clearly below the previous period across 5 EU Vinted markets. It describes direction, not total volume, and is not a confirmed sale receipt.
As of 8 October 2026, seven models with at least 100 comparable listings carry a FADING momentum label in Resale IQ's live data: New Balance 530 (avg €32), New Balance 9060 (€50), Nike Air Force 1 (€25), Ralph Lauren Classic Fit (€18), Levi's 501 (€18), Lacoste Polo (€12) and Adidas Samba (€30). Of the 24 models with that much coverage, 14 are STABLE, 2 HOT, 1 RISING and 7 FADING. FADING describes direction, not that a model cannot be placed.

Models with a FADING label, 8 October 2026
Only models with at least 100 comparable listings are shown. Buy-below is a sourcing ceiling at 70% of the typical resale price. Data-quality scores for these models range from 51 to 62, so treat the labels as a direction to check, not a verdict.
| Model | Comparable listings | Departures (30d) | Avg price | Buy-below |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Balance 530 | 1,330 | 119 | €32 | €22 |
| New Balance 9060 | 311 | 63 | €50 | €35 |
| Nike Air Force 1 | 624 | 30 | €25 | €18 |
| Ralph Lauren Classic Fit | 891 | 28 | €18 | €13 |
| Levi's 501 | 582 | 26 | €18 | €13 |
| Lacoste Polo | 218 | 12 | €12 | €8 |
| Adidas Samba | 618 | 10 | €30 | €21 |

What changed and what it means
The biggest name on the list is the New Balance 530. Our 22 September guide showed an average of €38.51; the 8 October figure is €32. All seven are sneakers or everyday basics with deep pools of comparable listings, so the typical price is easy to read.
A FADING label is a prompt to check the price you are about to pay. At or below the buy-below column the numbers still work as a ceiling; above it, the model's slowing direction removes the cushion.
How to check a model before you buy
Look up the momentum label next to the buy-below for the exact model. The same brand can show STABLE for one model and FADING for another: Patagonia Synchilla is STABLE while Patagonia Better Sweater is FADING (on only 45 comparable listings, so below the cut-off here).
