Not bad for one days worth of work....
Plus with them opening up again for the next NB release..
I think they'll be just fine.
The stores exclusivity alone will keep that place afloat.
Even if rent is 15k, re molding each time 20k...

Exactly. What % of box price did you use for profit?
Bruh me and my homie were running sample Nike calcs. Say they made 15k black/red 1s. It costs about $2 to make each pair. Let's say that $130 out of the $140 box price is profit after all costs are taken care of.
Nike brought in 2 mil alone on that release, assuming my numbers are accurate
And they retro jordans several times a month and they sell out for the most part. Nike CAKING my goodness

also they didn't sell 15k of them from NDC... retailers had to get that at like 65 off box price. regardless they cake.

Very true, didn't take other accounts into consideration.
But like you said, they cake. Profit margins are insane on sneakers, especially Nike's.

Pop up shop. Which is kind of weird because it was initially marketed as the shoe is commemorating the NYC location. But in turns out, the NYC was a pop up to commemorate the shoe

Dam RF has lost his touch these are worse than the west nyc 530's. Just awful

Used the 3k units made.
The boxes they made most likely ran about 15-20 since in bulk.
They don't make the shoe - so they still pay wholesale price (I would assume a better rate due to the boston connection)
Even if they run 20-30% net profitability they are coming out nice.

I agree and I can't even see the boxes being more than a few bucks though i haven't seen them in person, isn't it just a thicker cardboard?

By the looks - the embroidery and texturing cost more than the "box".

West NYCs are dope though. These RFs are trash.

seems like a lot of people dislike the Kith 530s.. i actually like them. i like the color blocking on them. but it helps that its also my favorite colors as well. burgundy and gold.

Not unless mine comes in firstnah jp homie, appreciate it
From what I can tell, they CNCPTS are more a pinkish/orange
To me, it looks like the CNCPTS go more to a reddish pink while the RGs go a bit to an orangey/salmony pink.

I've been wanting to buy other brands besides nike. Thought I'd try new balance
Just wanted to know how the fit and sizing is for the west NYC NB 530.. True to size run small or big?? I'm a 9 in air maxes.
Info and help would be appreciated
Thanks

Those run pretty snug compared to other NB models so I would go with your nike size. For most of the other nb's however i'd go down .5

Regatta.
depending on the price point i can see myself messing with these (depsite using my extra money to double on the rose joints).. has to be under 150 though.. 496s are like 90-100 bucks with standard releases

They're looking better, potential cop if the price point is right. Regatta is pretty big in philly

Thought I'd share what I won in a sneaker contest battle held by a European-based sneaker magazine - SneakersMag. This was for New Balance Edition and got this Gentleman's Pack - both pairs and a magazine cover with my photo on it.
Enjoy!

I held both in hand...
At the same time.
West NYC had so much promise IMO, but came up short on the materials to justify that price hike.

nice one. still after a US10. for a decent price. the thing was, I was all set to get them on day of release, but they must have gnoe on the US time in the UK, when I got up at 9am most sizes had already gone.and finally picked this up
