So I started my sneakers business in February and I realized a lot of things in the business. The dollar rate is currently almost #500.
Now there are three grades of sneakers,
1.)the copies locally made, Iâm talking aba, onitsha, Lagos etc. These are low quality, they look good https://twitter.com/eetz_trish/status/1290752379059613698

At first but the materials used are inferior and after two wears you find yourself noticing the shoe falling apart. These are very cheap and youâll feel âooh I got a good dealâ
2.) The copies from China. Now this are the deal especially when youâre just kinda in the middle, not

Too cheap, not so expensive. Now this is better quality and you donât have to worry about the shoe falling apart. In fact you canât even tell the difference between the ones directly from the designer company, except you know. Also, most of these companies have their factories in
China. Theyâre quite pricey but not as expensive as the designer company tho.
3. Finally the ones from the designer company. These are high quality! If youâre buying at a $100 from China, youâre buying from $300 and above for that same shoe from the designer company.

Now, somebody would sell the lowest grade at the price of the middle grade, letâs say slightly cheaper and everybody would say itâs cheap oo. Now see these two photos below. The first one is the China version at 35k and the second is the lowest quality at 15k. I sell both tho

Somebody would now sell that lowest quality at 20k and youâll see my original copy that I spent over $60 excluding shipping and clearing costs. Youâll now come to my dm and tell me itâs expensive. Especially with the dollar rate. Haba nau, you shouldâve kept it to yourself
With the small #200 or 500 gain Iâm making
. Well I use a quote to keep myself going whether itâs me selling or not âitâs not expensive, you just canât afford itâ. Make una dy pity vendors Biko. Yes some sell at outrageous prices, just waka pass. Donât make them feel bad.

If you ainât buying just say thank you and go. Donât go as far as asking for account details and ghost them. Itâs totally unfair. People can barely eat. Thank you
