I understand the challenges of running a business, but buying a pair of shoes and putting it in your store for a dramatic markup the next day just seems like a practice destined to fail. I think people understand that if they buy something from this store they could’ve gotten at Footlocker, they’re paying a premium. But like $100 extra on a pair of general release shoes is just a symptom of what people hate about this hypebeast era.

You literally just described capitalism. Except there isn't a stock x for all products where you can go see "market" rates for every product you buy. If people don't like the business model, it will fail. That is also capitalism. The markets will always work themselves out. In this case, Nike is the only market manipulator that deserves blame.

It’s not foolish many of them kill their own business by getting over on the customers in their city, if they offer a fair price for the product and not low ball and think they won most would not be in the hole, once you lose the people trust you done, I believe in a respectable offer both ways and you can’t go wrong, too many think about the big fast come up without understanding the rules of relationships in business and without the people you have no business, the warrior small minded way works for a minute but not the successful long run, a shop will work if done right and the people behind you in the town because of good business and customer service.

Sneaker reselling was a hot hustle for about 5-6 years. Now that everyone is trying to do it, it has been over saturated.

Reminds me of a sneaker resell store that has closed down where I live. They have a few locations in the city at various malls, and recently I found out that three of their locations have closed, completely clearing out. As much as I enjoyed walking into these places, it's not surprising that they closed down, considering how insane their prices were. In addition to that, I don't buy sneakers as much as I used to since they're quite expensive where I live. When I was younger, I cared quite a lot about sneakers and how I looked, how I dressed, but as time went on, I realized I was only spending money to impress people who couldn't care less about me. I get that it's important to look good, to feel good, to make a good first impression on people, but at the same time, I shouldn't have to spend money to get the approval of people, especially considering how much emphasis people in my age group put on fashion.

Smith's Coffee shop at an airport/university or Mike's Sandwich shop in a random mall foodcourt can both markup like crazy and people will still buy......Now if you add brands back in, selling names like Nikes/Jordans might work to his advantage. People are already familiar and expect to pay a certain pricepoint. Some might even suspect they are fake if he charges them for too cheap. Either that, or there are many customers that don't know the sneaker game and don't know where to find shoes for cheaper or don't care at all, as they rather pay for the convenience.

No disrespect but this is a prime example of what NOT to do. This guy doesn’t have any ambition or fire to him. You can tell just by his demeanor how inexperienced he is. He needs a mentor is he really wants to make it.

Problem is the economy gets worse and worse every single year so nobody wants to pay these high ass prices for Jordans…

[@bball3048mm]

I am so glad the reseller market is crashing. The Jordan 6 Black Infrared is due for a release (last release Feb 2019) and I will not have to go to eBay to pay double the price for a used version. I actually did that. I bought 3 pairs and I am meh about em.

Selling small objects that can be posted cheaply in a store is risky. Large items that are expensive to ship are what stores are better at.

Big fan of these videos bro. It’s cool to hear and see what goes on inside

[@DeeBeeScribe]

In this economy, people are prioritizing their needs over wants-- and im here for it. Sneakers are a low-priority purchase. Screw them.

Resellers messed the shoe game badly.

[@gavcomp3916]

Great video DP , SP call was awesome man cant wait for the next

[@Raider870]

[@IKONERIC]

Appreciate the uploads ❤️

[@joelnord9653]

Really like your videos! Keep up that work!

[@pearlssbu8749]

I feel like everyone wants a store to say they have a store plus do many ppl in this game lost all trust in these small stores

[@SuperdutyExplorer]

No wonder people don't have any money.... spending that much on a shoe, then not wanting to get it dirty... $250-350 buys a decent hiking/work boot

[@joelrodriguez7900]

Paying over 500 dollars for sneakers is just ridiculous 😂

[@josephdane6342]

love these vids - a lot of info learned everytime 🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@MrLegatoblue]

I never buy from stores like this. Maybe this one is different but i usually pop open my apps and find them online for cheaper.

[@Malaki727]

Honestly, i dont buy name brand shoes. Cost too much . . . . And i can put my money toward other investments

[@tonyroronoa7357]

So we should feel sad that his mark up selling sneakers business is failing? Get real nobody wanted to get charge extra to begin with

[@Tokenblackguru101]

Nope everybody has choices. He choice the wrong cheap way.

[@andrewketcher1896]

I go to stores like this so I can see the shoe in hand then find them cheaper on line..

[@riskypugga]

This, pretty much

[@ballgameshoes8583]

That's not a shoe store. That's a closet.

[@houdinihir9549]

Why would you interrupt him when he was going to say how he got fired from Dick’s.

[@bansheeboy3061]

After playing us the ppl he wants us to feel bad lmao
