The last pair of Air Jordan 10’s I wrote about was the Woodland Camo edition; as I type this post, the shoe is becoming a museum piece in most retailers’s stores and websites, see screenshots below
This is DTLR online, the shoe is available in all sizes except 11.5 ( and i can almost guarantee that the store never received the 11.5’s probably because it’s a hard size to sell). The $190 price tag is still too high but this will certainly change within the next couple of weeks. DTLR is known for the exponential speed with which they mark down their items. don’t be surprised if this shoe is marked down to $160 next FridayNot even major retailers are safe, Footlocker has also become a dumpster when it comes to general release retros. But the company’s only saving grace is the RTV system that allows to redeem all these excess products by returning them to Nike for a credit applied on their future purchases
Now let’s look at Nike’s own sales performance when it comes to the Jordan 10 Woodland Camo
Interestingly Nike sold out of sizes 10,12 12.5 and above; obviously Nike is doing something right and it’s called CDO ( Consumer Direct Offense). The brand is able to target the same customers its wholesale distribution channel is targeting before the latter does so. I wrote a post about a similar situation a couple of years ago, see link below
Now let’s talk about the Air Jordan 10 Seattle Supersonics; I understand this is an OG (original ) colorway but that means very little because the Jordan 10 silhouette has always been received with a lukewarm attitude. And the $190 price tag doesn’t help either; folks that are looking to actually grab this style understand the drill. What I mean is they know that in the next 3 months, the Air Jordan 10 Seattle Supersonics will hit the sales’s rack so there is no rush to buy it now; and guess who is going to suffer the most? Retailers of course. The shoe is already available via StockX below retail and this means another rough week end for retailers
A size 9.5 sold for $186 and a size 10.5 sold for $190 ( both under retail) and that’s litte less than two weeks before the shoe officially drops. The sales recorded are insignificant and they scream disaster for retail comes Saturday October the 19th.
I’m sure a minimum of 250,000 pairs will be made since every major and minor retailer is getting them.
You can support Housakicks now by purchasing the “Eternal perspective T shirts” , see details below
King Solomon wrote the following words 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end Ecclesiastes 3:10-11 And what he realized was that God created us in such a way that satisfaction in things can only be temporal. Hence mankind’s true longing is for a relationship with The Eternal God but folks haven’t understood it and therefore live an entire life seeking fulfillment in the wrong things. And it’s only by the grace of God that any living man/ woman can come to the realization of their satisfaction in Him and Him alone. So the phrase “the Eternal perspective” embodies that very message, because I am who I am by the grace of the Living God. Available in size M-XXL
