I need a sneaker contact

[kiya]

Some Information, hope it helps..

not to burst your bubble, but at the location you're at it's going to be very difficult to get ANY account with Nike.

i'll break it down for you..

Nike = No Way, you're far too close to other Urban Elite dealers and i'm sure you don't just want some air maxes, shox, and sprint sisters

New Balance = you'll be able to get a Tier 2 account, nothing that shoes heads will pay any attention to, but still some cool stuff

Adidas = they'll give anybody an account

Vans = GR stuff will be easy, Vault will be near impossible where you are

Onitsuka Tiger = same as adidas, they'll give almost anybody an account

hope that helps..

Not sure about New Balance in NYC I don't think they will be that big of a deal regardless of what. They do some nice stuff like the mita's and hanon shops but the resale value is so/so . I like Vans Vault, Adidas doing some cool stuff, Onitsuka Tiger's SUCK! How about Puma their dropping some good stuff.

World187 I think you should get an Adidas account because their new skate line is looking pretty nice. If you get pumas don't go for the regular old speed cats and what not try to get the designer collabs and the higher end models. Here is the link for the Adidas skate shoes preview Adidas Skate Shoes

Edit: You could also look into P.F. Flyers

resale value? what? arent you supposed to be the retailer and not resaler?

Why not try dealing with other independent shoe brands ie, greedy genius, JB, keep etc. You might not personally ever wear those but it could be a good place to start.

[World187]

Greedy Genius is on some other Sh*t they are trying to keep the # of accounts super limited in hopes of keeping the price point higher than nike, adidas,puma etc. Following the school of thought that states: if demand for a particular good is higher than supply the cost of said goods will skyrocket. I contacted them a while back and they responded by saying they were'nt taking any more accounts in NY. JB has a rep for being unreliable with his deadlines and production which is why you don't see his stuff in many places.

What about trying to get some japanese footwear brands.

[World187]

madfoot is pretty cool.

I would give you big ups if you could get a hold of this Nike: http://superfuture.com/city/supertalk/showthread.php?t=14653

I would make that my only shoe ever.

dude imma def stop by your store.....you carry some awesome brands!

[Kodak]

The way to get more accounts is to get more business. Email blogs like the Galaxyriders, Hypebeast, Highsnobiety etc. and tell them about upcoming events, sales, new shipments or what ever to get press. Loads of people read them and they just might visit your shop.

[dcrevolution40]

Kodak...you actualy read our galaxyriders blog, haha that's dope! Yo World187 if you email me, [email protected], I would be happy to put up a little store feature on you guys and your products. You wouldn't believe how many hits we get. You will def attract attention on that. I'll put that party flyer up for you if you want?

[Kodak]

Yup DC, I read it.
