^ but if those checkout, they will have a lot of repeat customers. The answer to our question still remains to be seen. 

Where the guys who ordered OVO's, Chi 1, OG SBB? We need them to chime in when they finally get their pairs in hand

Exactly. The only shoes they are making almost no profit on was the RSBB at $200.00 and the Triple Black UB at $225 (assuming it retails at $200.00). Also, the Pinnacles I believe since they were originally sold at $275.00. 

Their Banned 1 price is market resale ($285) and the OG SBB was at market resale ($395.00). Only recently have the OG SBB shot up to abouve $500.00 (don't seem to be selling quickly at those prices though). Chicago 1 was at $285 so lower than average market resale but still way above retail. 

Most of the Yeezy's listed as sold out are at or very close to market resale. 

Some prices have gone up too. Triple Black UB to $235.00 and the Pinnacle to $325.00.

Air Jordan 12 “Blue Suede”
Deep Royal Blue/White-Metallic Silver

How are they making money?  IF THEY BUY FROM FTL, NDC and local shops

$190 PLUS  9% TAX IS $207.10

they making $2.90 to get their name out there?

Shipping is $12-15 bucks alone

Over half of the shoes that are marked up on the site are sold out, so who knows if they were ever even actually for sale or how many. Even 220 pre ordered for black toes and top 3s will net them around 10-20 bucks only.

OG SBB, Chicago 1 and Yeezy's (not sure which ones) all restocked a single time very recently. All way above retail and fairly close to market resale price other than the Chicago 1 at $285.00.

If they are getting the Black Toes at retail ($172.00 or so after taxes in Cali), they are making closer to $30 or so per shoe.

It obviously doesn't apply to every shoe but there are quite a few shoes on their website that are near market resale or still way above retail. Banned 1 at $285.00. OG SBB at $395.00 and Chicago 1 at $285.00 (I think market price is closer to $350.00 or so). All of their Yeezy's are near hyped resale prices. However, these shoes (OG SBB, Chicago 1 and Yeezy's) only restocked once. 

Black Toes and Top 3 are listed at $220.00 for a pre-order. After taxes retail price is about $172.00. With priority mail shipping, it's around $187.00. So, profit is around $33.00. If you sell enough volume on those pre-orders, they're doing alright. 

As for the Blue Suede 12's and RSBB, they are making pennies. On the RSBB, maybe $13 or so on each shoe. 

Anyways, I don't really care about how much they're making or not. As long as my purchases check out as legit at Sole Supremacy, I'm good.

Well they tend to really mark up their prices when it gets close to release date. 
 
Whip was talking about the circle around the Rs on the tag and even bottom of insole color and inside shoe stitching. I'd be comparing all those with definate retail pairs.

I noted in the thread that I should be getting my Banned 1's and Chi 1's tomorrow. Pictures will be provided. Users can make their arm-chair legit check comments but I will get final confirmation in person from Sole Supremacy.

Looking forward to hearing about that. 
 
Maybe they're doing low prices on certain shoes to build a quick and large customer base then raise the prices in the near future??

I think they're going to be making their money mostly by bringing in volume. Their lowest margins will be on their first batch of pre-orders and the funding from those pre-orders should give them enough money to secure more pre-orders and that's where they'll do their mark ups and increase their margins. It's a pretty smart plan. Also a good way to gauge the amount of interest there is for certain shoes.

all that goes down the toilet if they keep slacking on fullfilling orders in a timely/reasonable manner.

they might have a few that dont mind sticking it out. but most will not want to take that ride everytime they order.

That's what I'm thinking as well. Although, I'm surprised they haven't raised the price on the Black Toes pre-order now that it is confirmed QS supposedly. They did raise prices on the Triple Black UB and Jordan 6 Pinnacles.

Yeah I completely agree, they need a loyal client base to do what they're doing and they've already begun to build a bad reputation for themselves. I haven't totally written them off but if I see that a lot of people are still waiting much longer than expected then I won't be purchasing anything from there again.

People were getting their pairs in a timely order I believe until multiple links to the site were posted publicly and Twitter got hold of it shortly after. Suddenly, they had a lot of money and orders to be fulfilled on their plate in a very short amount of time.

Since people are talking about TongueGate, here's the tongue stitching of my retail pairs. One from Kickz and two from SNKRS.

Looks like stitching isn't that great of an indicator to go off of. You've got a few different patterns there lol.

Curious but saw someone post earlier they were sent the ndc confirmation printout but did they also get the actual ndc receipt/packing slip, or am i mistaken?
Click to expand...
No you're not mistaken.
Someone who got a pair of the RSBB posted pics over the weekend but only w/ a print-out of the email confirmation, not the packing slip from NDC.
It does have the order # on the email confirmation printout.  So I think it'd be good if others who also got the ndc email confirmation printout only to share their order #s.
Click to expand...
Ok, I thought I saw it here or the 1's thread. Wonder if those that get ndc pairs from them get the same?


SummerofLove said:
I don't believe they did but others who purchased the RSBB noted where the receipt was from and it included some of the following: BLENDS, Shoe Palace and Footlocker.
Click to expand...
Yeah, saw the other receipts was just asking about the ndc pair I saw someone post. I'll look for it in the images when i get some time.
