I think snapstyle and winnsports are buying them from another store. Because retail stores need to charge MSRP right? Not $50-70 over retail.

Nope. Pretty sure they have accounts with Adidas. Winnsports does for sure. Their business and they can charge whatever they'd like.

Winn has to get them for wholesale, because most of their shoes are retail- and if I'm not mistaken they have a physical store (right?).

They could cut a deal with a retailer to get them at a price below retail but still some kickback to the retailer.

But you guys might be right, they probably aren't breaking any rules with Adidas and can charge whatever they want.

Just got my Oreo 3.0 (AKA White Noise/Zebra/Cat Face) in from the ExtraButter drop from a couple days ago and they don't disappoint at all in person.

They actually look much better on feet than I thought they would and overall I really like them. The translucent cage isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be and actually complements the cw quite nicely. The black/grey patterning on the weave really pops against the white PK and just looks so dope in person.

And for those wondering, the 'cat face' is nearly impossible to see in person. It is much more apparent on a computer screen than in person which I appreciate.

So far the Oreos are the first 3.0 cw I liked enough to buy and am glad I did. For reference, I went TTS which is what I wear in 2.0 UB and they fit perfect and I have narrow/average feet.

I wonder what whole sale for UB's are, a screenshot was leaked a while ago for PK NMD's that showed that the wholesale for them was like $90
 
I could be wrong but I think I remember hearing and reading somewhere that gas stations barely make money on gas. Not really a wholesale product but just food for thought.

Most of their money comes from in-store purchases then, come for the gas and leave with over-priced drinks and snacks

Gas stations don't need to do any money, most of them are either operating under a leasing or a rent based contract 
 
I work at a baseball academy and we do retail. All we are required to do on a certain shoe is sell it for "at least" retail. If we wanted to mark it up we could. Obviously we dont sell UB's so our baseball turfs wouldnt sell for $$$$

Oh yeah and I think it is the same way for movie theaters too. They barely make much off the movie tickets. Maybe thats why they decided to jack up the prices for the tickets. Since people like me bring our own snacks.

Hmm elaborate please. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't get it.
 
DHL just delivered my EQT 93/17... man these do not disappoint.

Sizing: TTS fits fine, could go up half size if I wanted but DEF NOT down half a size. fck u tblake, so glad I didn't listen to his advice.

Fits closer to UB 1.0/2.0, more snug than a UB 3.0

COMFORT holy ****, on par or better than UB --> leaning towards better

Sorry I should have said ( I re-read what I had wrote MAN that was awfully written, no wonder why you didn't get it) , Gas stations doesn't need to do any money of gas sales, for varios reasons : 

1. Gas price is usually settle by an assortment of regulations and strict local laws, so little income left by it will cover only the wage of an employee roughly 

2. Usually Big Oil and Gas Company, pay a sort of rent to the gas station owner to be the supplier of the gas for that particular station, so first big income is the money that comes from that rent 

3. Is usually not enough with what the Companys pays you and what you cut off from gas sales. So IT IS INDEED a need to have a convenience store in the Gas Station, that's where 90% of the income comes from (As you stated) but for sure not only that is enough in 2016 that's why you see a lot of Gas stations expanding , for example with Sheetz Stations
