You knew Lori was going to make an offer the minute she started doing an infomercial at 3:50.

[@jmharris251]

Immediately, I said, I Want! But put off by 32-40. Hopefully Lori can bring the price down. I'll buy. I didn't know Lori was a pro dancer, good figure. She's so cute.

[@bodhi1462]

I like how Lori started raving about the socks when she realized she would be investing in them. She's pretty clever at boosting the sales wrapped in "just her opinion" lol

[@brycetv7727]

Yeah not gonna lie- that was a BOSS move by a BOSS woman for real. The psychology behind the moment she realized that they would go to 25 even after the counter- was some high level stuff.

[@Eagle00pr]

Lori just did a free QVC presentation 😅

[@Lommy9999]

It's strange that the sharks didn't already realize that they sell socks for 40 dollars when she told them they sold 100,000 socks and made 4 million.

[@Naturefan354]

I.4 million

[@akhampariya1]

​@@Naturefan354 1.4 million last year.

[@akhampariya1]

That's the problem. Sharks want to invest in something which has millions of buyers not thousands. And this product isn't for the masses. 40 usd for a sock? You can buy a lot of stuff with 40 dollars

[@mrhumble2937]

​@Abhishek Khampariya it can explode if they get a shark to put it out there. Construction workers or any hard labor.

Gotta love the evil shark laughs at 9:45 when she tells them it’s going to be an offer they might not like lol

[@igo0di]

Evil???

[@Squish-TheUrbanScribe]

I'm gonna assume that the other sharks left this one for Lori in particular because she has the "Educate & Demonstrate" platform. They do that sometimes so that the remaining shark can get the highest equity possible for the level of expertise.

[@stevenduckering8445]

That’s what happens when you only have one party to negotiate with. It’s not a groundbreaking thing.

I am shocked that they weren't leaping to get a piece of their company. Bombas sell for quite a lot despite not having a grand purpose like these do. I got myself a few pairs of their performance socks and they provide INSTANT relief! They deserved more recognition than this honestly

[@ellieveganphilly-7335]

Really? I was thinking of getting a pair.

Oh wow , I’m grabbing now just because of this comment. Thanks

Athlete + Foot + Greek name = ? Not naming it Achilles was the biggest miss ever.

[@Raghunandan19]

Kevin being out of the deal seems to be sense of relief for them when they said thank you.

[@jmharris251]

Kevin has done some deals that were great for the entrepreneurs. He has quite a network, social presence, team. It's not what you "give away" but what you get. You can't buy these guys time. They get approached daily with requests.

So you think ONE pair of socks will last you your entire life, eh? Boy, you sure haven’t thought that through AT ALL. FYI, I typically have 25-30 pairs of socks at a given time, and they tend to wear out and get replaced every couple of years. You think I’m going to spend $1,000-1,200 on SOCKS every couple of years?? 🤣🤣 But hey, if you want to wear the same pair of socks every day and think they’re going to last decades, you do you.

[@TunjungUtomo]

Selling the patent, or even the whole company, to companies like Nike, Adidas, or Puma, really is the most viable way forward. They need to continue the research, that's expensive, and also they need to fight all the time to push the unit price down, for that reason they need to partner with some party with a huge budget and can manufacture at a huge scale

[@brezdisdat]

your 100% right

It’s interesting to me how you know that!! I don’t have a mind like that for numbers.

[@gangster125]

$40 for a pair? Holy macaroni. These sharks are probably the only ones who can afford these. Skip food, buy a pair of those socks for this week instead.

[@Just-Princess]

I was a gymnast since childhood and danced ballet since 3. Only those who have been athletes will understand this product. I'm like Lori, I don't like socks! However would buy these simply because I understand the benefits. I live a ligament injury caused by gymnastics. I wish they had long over the knee/thigh versions.

There's a variety of diabetic socks & leg braces with a diversity of compression & price points. Also have them with zippers for longer ones, to get maximum fit, as you cant get the narrow part over the calf without losing compression. I'd like to see how they'd do a longer sock

​@@damaiindah8587 not to you, but for people with foot pain likely yes. I had to wear compression socks for my calves working on concrete floors on my feet for 12 hours a day. Without them I couldn't sleep due to swelling and pain. I still had pain but it was manageable with compression socks. If something worked even better I would spend the money. I understand you would not and perhaps under any circumstances. But to respond "no" such as you did just understand you don't speak for me, you don't speak for others. I'm sure many other people out there would spend their money differently than you and have different values.
