I
I mean, they do more volume than any boutique in the US now so I'd say they're pretty plugged in. That doesn't mean that every manager knows the scoop though.
Backstory on that earlier picture: James, the owner, is really smart with his stock. He ALWAYS holds back pairs of every big release. When he has a new store open, he ALWAYS puts out heat randomly during that first week to build excitement. They regularly do "buy $200 and get entered to win..." promotions. That's all that earlier pic was. It's a new drawing they are having.
ITK? In the know?Nice.

Masters trash? Do you have a pair/touched a pair/worn a pair...the build quality/materials was pretty solid at the 130 price point.
Im a sucker for that kid robot leather upper w the gum bottoms...all the pops from the different materials is quite striking. Not sure I'd ever call such a unique and well executed concept trash. But everyone's entitled to opinions - just hard to take that categorical dismissal seriously.

Yeah, In The Know.
You may well be right about that with SS. But I've thought Elephants would come back long before that IG plug anyway.

A lot people thought that in 2007. It took them until 2017 to be right.

Wasn't the original 2007 release not that big a deal? Sure I read somewhere on here that they sat on shelves for weeks.

I know I said they’re trash and I stand by it. Regardless of concept or material I find them to look bad

Still trash to me. The white pair is decent at best in my opinion. Different strokes for different folks.

Kith has 2 stores. AMM/SS/APB has like 16 at this point. Kith is more hyped and more well known, but nowhere close in volume.

My bad, 3. Well 4 now with LA. Still, nowhere close to SS. It's not even close. There's more SS locations alone and that's not including A Ma Maniere and APB. locations.kith has a lot more than 2 stores

there was a Kith Tokyo at one point I think. But when I visited Japan, I only saw Kith Treats
and also Bergdorf Goodman if you wanna count that lol. Kith does get a large volume of stuff tho.

Yea, so 4. Just counted and AMM/SS/APB has 15. I'm a Kith fanboy but they really don't compare from a size standpoint in just sneakers.
