THE RELAY WAY

Footwear is sourced directly from brands and specialty running stores. Inventory is acquired primarily through fit-based returns, previous season's models and exterior-only shipping box damages. We guarantee Relay footwear will look, fit and perform exactly like a brand new ride.

ONLINE RETURNS

Footwear is sourced from fit-based returns directly from brands and authorized dealers. Shoes with any visible wear do not meet Relay's standard for premium resale. Your shoes will look & feel brand new- guaranteed.

PAST PRIME INVENTORY

Every season new models drop so unsold, past prime footwear has to move out to make room. Relay partners with authorized retailers to acquire surplus inventory taking up space or sitting on discount tables.

DAMAGED SHIPPING BOXES

If we told you how much footwear is discarded or written off because of a crunched box, you probably wouldn't believe us. Relay sources these by the pallet to be unboxed, quality checked and repackaged run ready.

LIMITED SUPPLY. UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.

We are rigorous in our pursuit of building trust when an athlete, of any level, buys their footwear from Relay. Join over 100,000 athletes who train with pre-owned, high performance footwear sourced from your favorite brands and authorized retailers.
