How much do boutique stores make on a pair of shoes- Yeezy, Jordan, etc

[deereebs]

Just curious if you guys know how much of a cut smaller stores make on shoes versus retail. For a standard Yeezy low top model that's $220, what would a small boutique store get them for? Just curious how these small mom & pop stores stay in business these days! Especially with low foot traffic, I would assume they get to share a small profit to keep the lights in and the people coming through their shops. Good to see the small fish still eating!

I've always wondered this

Also with fl and finish line like what is the turnaround?
How much do they pay for 20 pairs of 13s or something.

I tried to put up a shoe store before many years ago from my understanding it varies.

For Vans they would earn aroun 50
percent. Per shoe sold for retail.

Then for common projects for example you buy them from CP for $120 a pair(achillies low model) and theyre sold for around 430.

Just like any other market.. retailers pay wholesale and sell at suggested retail. Wholesale prices vary from company to company and whether a company throws in a middle man like a distributor (don’t know if distributors exist in sneaker realm, clothes and beauty products for sure)

retailers pay wholesale and sell at suggested retail.

iirc nike cost is 50% of suggested retail and yes, most shoes will be listed at suggested retail; however, hyped shoes can be marked up significantly. what was retail on the nike yeezy 1 and 2? like $250 or something? i saw shops going as high as $600 - and that's not from a consignment shop.
