Hello, as you can see I'm new to the forum. I am interesting in finding out more about Nike's Janoski shoe.
I would ideally prefer this not to turn into a hate/love Nike SB debate, there are clearly both pros and cons and I don't quite know where I stand on the matter.
Anyhow, I want to find out more information about the Janoski shoe. I am a huge Janoski fan and have seen this shoe everywhere. It feels to me like one of the few if not the only skate shoe that has really pushed into a "non-skater market". Of course there is a lot to say about Nike's distribution web etc but I would love to understand what sort of figures we are talking.
I would love to know the following and anything around it:
- Roughly how many have been sold?
- How many colour ways are there?
- I read recently Nike bought out the name?? Does this mean no royalties for janoski? If so do we know how much he was getting per shoe sold and how much the name was bought for (if true). Info around that.
- I would also love to know how much the shoe costs to make and how much profit SB are getting for each sold. Any ideas where they are made?
- production time from concept to outcome, cost?
Thanks for any posts, clearly many of the above questions are quite disclosed but I am curious to know more about the shoe. Apologies of course if this is an old thread and has been re-visited many times, if so please link me to it (if possible).
Any other interesting information would be great. thanks for your time.
