A “dad shoe” before dad shoes were even a thing, the former performance runner saw its first-ever retro this year. In its first incarnation, the 992 was made famous as part of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs’ signature uniform—as well as having regional appeal in areas like D.C. and Philadelphia—but in 2020, it’s found a wider fan base than ever thanks to its right-on-time reissue and a handful of well-received collaborations. </p> <p>Yes, there’s still a few months left, but the year’s most important 992 colorways have already arrived. There’s a lot to choose from. Is it the Instagram-favorite JJJJound collabs? Does Joe Freshgoods take the crown after stealing the show in Chicago at NBA All-Star Weekend? And what about the sleeper general release styles that readers may have overlooked? All of that and more was considered, and after much debate, this is where things stand based on cultural impact, connoisseur significance, and overall design. </p> <p>Read on to find out our picks of the best New Balance 992s of 2020. —<em>Riley Jones</em></p> </div> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/sneakers/2020/09/best-new-balance-992-2020/">Source link </a></p> <p> <a style="display:none" rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/the-best-new-balance-992s-of-2020-ranked/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Truth About Owning a Sneaker Store With Mike Packer: Complex Sneakers Podcast Ep. 8</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/the-truth-about-owning-a-sneaker-store-with-mike-packer-complex-sneakers-podcast-ep-8/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/the-truth-about-owning-a-sneaker-store-with-mike-packer-complex-sneakers-podcast-ep-8/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 10 Jan 2020 13:38:03 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[article]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-notadsafe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-notadsafe-noads]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[joe-la-puma]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[packer-shoes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[podcasts]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/the-truth-about-owning-a-sneaker-store-with-mike-packer-complex-sneakers-podcast-ep-8/</guid> <description><![CDATA[The Complex Sneakers Podcast is co-hosted by Joe La Puma, Matt Welty, and Brendan Dunne, and this week they’re joined by Packer Shoes owner Mike Packer to talk the ins and outs of running a sneaker business, the current state of sneaker retail, and to reminisce on the glory days of owning a sneaker boutique.

The change is Trump’s response to China not accepting his latest trade deal proposal. While sneakers were not part of this most recent increase, they could be affected in future. Today, Trump proposed to an additional 25-percent increase that would impact the footwear market as well. </p> <p>“We’re facing an additional $3.5 billion in Chinese tariffs coming in just because of this action that will take a couple months to decide which way the administration wants to go on it. So, if you’re a sneaker consumer, this isn’t on the receipt, this is built in to the cost of the shoe. It will be unavoidable that the cost will go up,” said president and CEO of the Footwear Distribution and Retailers of America (FDRA) Matt Priest.</p> <p>For instance, a sneaker might have an import price of $25. The current 20 percent duty rate would tack on $5 to the cost. If it retails at four times its import price, it will be on shelves for $120. Under the proposed increase, that same $25 shoe would receive a 45 percent duty, meaning that the retail would subsequently increase to $145.</p> <section class="suitcase-ad"><span class="advertisement_text featured">POST CONTINUES BELOW</span></section> <p>“It’s going to drive up cost. The question is can <a target="_self" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/foot-locker" rel="noopener noreferrer">Foot Locker</a> or a boutique handle the increase, and is a consumer willing to pay them? Inevitably, when the cost goes up, the boutiques have to pass that on to the consumer,” Priest told Complex. </p> <p>For the unfamiliar, a tariff is simply a tax on imports and exports to help regulate foreign trade. Higher tariffs would, in turn, mean higher retail prices for US consumers. According to the FDRA, the footwear industry paid $2.99 billion in tariffs in 2018 alone. With 80 percent of the sneakers on the market currently produced in China, raising the tariff on importing sneakers could cause a bigger change on the market than you might think. </p> <p>“We can’t affect it. The only thing we can affect is the way we go about our business. I think that’s the way companies have to look at it, too,” said owner of <a target="_self" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/packer-shoes" rel="noopener noreferrer">Packer Shoes</a>, Mike Packer. “There’s a line you can pass and a line you can’t pass when it comes to pricing. Unfortunately, you have to deal with whatever the administration wants to do. Until elections come about again, you can’t affect anything. Any type of ramifications that come all the way through, you deal with it. It’s not keeping me up at night. It’s so upside down, you can’t control it.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad"><span class="advertisement_text featured">POST CONTINUES BELOW</span></section> <p>Major companies, like <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/adidas" rel="noopener noreferrer">Adidas</a> for example, have their own ways to combat the potential tariff hike. According to the brand, most of the product they produce in China is for the Chinese market. Therefore, there will not be a major impact on its product in the US. In 2018, 42 percent of its total footwear volume was produced in Vietnam. Only 18 percent was produced in China.</p> <p>The larger issue at hand for these retailers and brands could be that many consumers will not have the same money to allot to sneaker purchases that they once did. “Even if the sneaker shop is able to withstand direct impact, it may not be able to withstand the fact consumers are facing inflation on <em>everything</em> and may not decide to buy that new pair of shoes this month,” Priest told Complex.</p> <p>One area that isn’t forecasted to be as heavily impacted by the proposal is the resell market. “There’s this built-in demand because of the limited supply [for many of these releases]. I think that will continue to operate in its own world,” Priest said. “It’s a small amount of footwear that is traded amongst sneakerheads in relation to the 2.5 billion pairs imported every year. It will continue to be that and there will be other economic forces that drive that. I’m not entirely convinced tariffs will have a big play on reselling.”</p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/sneakers/2019/05/how-president-trumps-new-chinese-import-tariffs-could-affect-the-sneaker-world">Source link </a></p> <p> <a style="display:none" rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/how-the-new-chinese-import-tariff-could-affect-the-sneaker-world/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
