people talking about shipping are forgetting that Ye is an independent and is shipping from the US you have to factor in import tax if from another country.
Right custom fees alone is crazy ,, he cannot help that , they must want him to buy shipping companies too lol he trying to get us the things for dirt cheap we gotta make it work
And nobody bought shaqs shoe lol. Hype matters and so does cost if it's too cheap it loses hype because people see it as cheap. And if it's too available, it loses hype because everyone can get it. Asics right now have the perfect balance with hype and availability. Their shoes don't sell out right away but if you wait too long the CW you want could be gone in a week. Which shows it's limited but not rare and the price is right in the middle. Which is perfect. Adidas has the same thing going is the samba and Gazelle
@@ClearSmoke100 you know shaq have made over 26 million for those shoes right? Or did not think ppl bought them because you yourself don’t know anyone that bought them? And hype helps, but YE never going to lose hype. And ppl that buy shoes for the hype never wanted the shoe, they just want them to say “I have them and you don’t” which is why Kanye is taken this route. So no one can do that with his merchandise.
I don't think people realize how cheap manufacturing and material costs actually are for clothes. A $1000 pair of amiri jeans uses around $40 of materials. Most of the actual seller's cost for the good ends up being towards overseas shipping.
The cost is in the production, but when you mass produce it becomes easier and cheaper. Less production, harder it is to offer low price. This has always been the same since Rockefeller was in business.
Pretty sure Ye planned to sell the merch for $20, including the pods. He tried selling them pods for $200 to make a statement, especially for Adidas to see. Also a Marketing strategy.
YE is ahead of time , he knows affordable is more safer to play instead of limited realeases or Expensive GRs mainly because of the economy , he’s adapting way ahead of time
Genius marketing man. That’s how you hustle. Completely agree about the hype market. Once they change the prices it’s changes the value which changes the hype 💯
I copped so fking fast when I found out everything was $20.....been a fan since the dropout days and never got my hands on any yeezy tour merch or yeezy cuz they were always fking sold out....
If theres anyone with the ability to change the puplics opinion and shift them away from hype... it has to be Ye. No matter how crazy this man gets, and how insane his ideas are, he always comes out on top. I dont understand how, he just does it.
Crazy how people will pay $200 for a product and then when it’s sold for $20 they’ll identify all the “cost saving measures”. People weren’t batting an eye at the 100% markup until they were told it was a 100% markup.
shifting away from the hype factors does nothing other than give people who buy the merch to enjoy it accessibility to that enjoyment, and take it away from people who enjoy seeing others not have it rather than just wearing it themselves
A way to make clothes way more affordable but different like he been trying to do for the longest .... when he said "I got soaked shoes ,and that's it!!!" 😂 I felt that Shaq and Kanye will always be bosses
Shipping costs are higher than they need to be, another way they’re making money. Seems like it’s possible to sell socks with a sole for $20 and make a profit but idk if they will be able to make a proper shoe and breakeven if they sell them for $20.
Because Ye is completely independent with his products, he had no deals with any shipping companies like UPS or USPS. So he had to pay shipping fees to ship out his products paying the normal price on all of them to be delivered.
If you have to pay high shipping, pool in with a few friends and just buy one of everything. It will he worth it. The pods are made in Italy. Known for quality materials!
Tbh the only person I believe could make “hype/expensive/resell” items go down in price is Kanye…if he doesn’t wear expensive stuff then other ppl will follow, he’ll make it cool to save money and be smart with your spending
2024, Year of Ye the Dragon. Everyone should remember to be patient with shipping and the "quality " of the items for sale. This is a revolutionary feat and it is gonna take some time for someone with Yeezys limited shipping and manufacturing resources. This is first gen, Ye doing it without the backing of thise major lables. I can already hear the haters complaing about shipping times, the quality, and waiting on refunds. But, if we're patient this is gonna change the game.
only other thing i can think of that isn't based on scarcity.. but sells well . is STREAMING. the streaming is abundant, yet we go on n on re experiencing classic albums cause they're SO GOOD. like you said "they're just so good, i HAD to have them."
2 Tees and 1 x pod. 81 quid. Though shipping did go up and down when selecting items. next time wil do a bigger purchase to better balance the shipping cost. A great idea all the same and cannot wait for the next batch of stock.
Unbelievable from Ye, the pods allow your foot to sit in its natural position and grip the ground similar to a bare foot shoe this is what the future of fashion should be practical products accessible for everybody
Adidas could drop 2 millions foam runners at $20 each and sell out easily. They retail at $90 and sell out super easy and quick, now imagine them for $20. Literally every kid would own one pair. HeII even the bootlegs cost more than $20
GR ASICS and NBs have been become so popular lately bc of availability, now imagine they were $20.. Kanye can and will shift the narrative, people are already flowing that way, no one wants to spend 100s of dollars on a shoe that cost nothing to make. I think people are waking up from the hype trance
It's easy to sell everything he had for $20 you can buy blank shirts in bulk for $1 and the socks are just socks with a make shift mold and no molds arent expensive especially if you're not using expensive materials. Everything in the clothing line is plain just has hype because Ye's name is on it. If Gap sold those socks for $20 or clothing nobody would buy them.
It's a flat shipping fee, so buy like 100 bucks worth of stuff and think of it as a way to get stuff from Ye at a really good price. If he were to sell with anyone else, prices would be triple or higher, so I'm thankful the only expensive thing is shipping.
They're not shoes. They're $20 socks. Now everyone thinks they're some super mega bargain because of the absolute robbery the original $200 price tag. They were never worth that.
Thanks for this content. It was an informative video and easy to follow. Im a female interested in buying the socks, but no one‘s really posting about sizing/fit for females.
These prices HAVE to come down. Period. And Ye is aware of that for the people. People don't have $360 to spend on knit shoes and slides anymore. Bring the prices way down and these companies can still make their precious profit and everyone wins.
I don't think Ye is looking for another partnership. It would make it harder to keep everything $20. That's why it never happened until he went solo. Maybe once he shifts the culture again, but by then he may not need them anymore. I recently just made my purchases to help show adidas what's up.
My first time buying anything Kanye related or even hype related, but i am a sucker for people who want to prove a point to greedy corporations so I went ahead and ordered the whole line. I'm probably only going to wear these around the house. Looking forward to seeing how this line fits/feels.
@@deepweb.mp3 I get that, but is Kanye still able to make new sneakers in the Boost 350 silhouette? Cus there's no way I'm gonna buy a pair of lame ass sock sneakers even for $20.
@@pexeixv he’s always working towards moving clothing forward. Even if he could legally replicate the silhouette, I promise you as long as he’s releasing products independently he will not do that.
Wow. I was definitely one of the doubters but he actually did it. The margins must be razor thin but good on him for making $20 items that aren't limited. Awesome that I don't have to rush to buy anything or pay ridiculous resale for a yeezy product now. At $200 the sock shoes were a joke but at $20 I'll probably try a pair eventually. Looking forward to the pod slides coming out too
Margins are actually great, the material cost that goes into each pod is under a dollar. it’s just rubber and cloth.. He is making 2,000% returns on everything he sells… it’s brilliant
@@GOonTedgi not really. He has to pay someone to make them plus warehousing costs plus the cost of moulding for the outsoles and also the general expenses of the company. After all that profit would be a few dollars a pair at most. Saying that the more he sells the cheaper he can make them at scale so they will definitely get more profitable over time
Yeezy seems to be going after Amazon and Walmart market. Not High end; but still trendy youth lane. Buy cool clothing merch music and more. One stop shopping.
If other celebs sell $e$ merch and it’s a logo silkscreened on a sweater for 300$ they will be seen as greedy. Kanye has changed the game. We see the trend happening everywhere Palworld 20 mil in a week - 30$ Yeezy - 20$ he’ll diver 2 -40$..etc.. Do you see a pattern

ngl I hated him for years but now I'm rethinking that stance. and I'm waiting on my pods 🤘

Yeezy "pods" have existed for hundreds of years. They used to be called ninja slippers.
True but its cool to see their revival
Where are yours then?
Tabi boots?
Tabis have split toe
Yup
These stuff actually costed most probably just 10 percent of what they are being sold at so its still profit, and cheap win win for all
One of the only true artist of this lifetime
Ye’s really breaking down the walls independently. Can’t wait to see what Ye and Steve Smith cooks up next.
Where can i buy the adidas yeezy shoes at
If Yeezy shoes were only $20 I'd have so many pairs in my closet. I could care less about hype. I just like the style and comfort of the shoes
I bought some pods and a shirt, this whole idea from him was really interesting so I had to get something.
he managed to get an intrest free loan to fund it, then is now refunding it back. genius
What size was worn for the shirts? I ordered the pods last week, but I want to order some shirts and pants. They looks cool.
i don't know why but right now i want this merch even more
I have bought things from 3 super bowl ads in the history of my life.
