Virgil Van Dijk - Hand Signed Boots - LE25

Overview

This was one of the rarest football merch flips of the year. On October 20, 2023, Pro:Direct launched just 25 pairs of hand-signed Virgil Van Dijk boots, exclusively via their mobile app. The product wasn’t listed on their website — app-only, time-sensitive, and stealthy. House of Resell members had the advantage: they followed a step-by-step plan, connected their Nike accounts, pre-filled shipping/payment, and practiced wishlist navigation for fast checkout. While the £200 retail was still speculative pre-drop, flippers who landed a pair quickly flipped them for £300+, especially across football memorabilia platforms and collector resell groups.

How the Flip Played Out

App-only release meant competition was lower but required prep.

Members were ready with fully set-up accounts by 8:00 AM.

Checkout required speed — wishlist + Apple Pay gave an edge.

Free returns made it a zero-risk purchase attempt.

Sales hit £300–£350, with signed memorabilia sites and collectors fueling demand.

Final Thoughts

This was a stealth drop with ultra-limited quantity. Members who followed instructions to the letter — from app navigation to Nike account linking — got the upper hand. In collectible footwear, scarcity + a superstar = clean flip.
