IHSN-01 - Low Top Sneakers in 21oz Selvedge Indigo, 21oz Superblack, 21oz White

[Finkster]

Couldn't resist .. dammit! ….. aaaaaand Gotcha!

Avowedly - at first, I was a bit sceptical about the 'IH-Sneakers project'.

Fact is: they're sublime!
Supercomfy ( I love all my 70's Chucks - but this is another level), the workmanship is top-notch and the look is great.    …........  Domo Arigato - H. san

How did you size compared to your CT 70s?

[Finkster]

^ same size - UK 9.5

.. and drooling for more colours  ::)      ::)

Pretty sure we will not do these again (in any colour).  Margins were really tight anyway, then they cost a lot to ship from Japan and then a lot to ship to end users (lots of wasted space in a sneaker box).  Believe it or not, in Europe, because we have to give 20% of the retail price back to government for VAT, we probably made a loss on every pair sold.

Do you think you guys won't end up doing the high tops based on the lack of profits on the low tops?

They'll likely go ahead.  I won't stop H from doing them and he does not have the same cost challenges as we do (all his sales are within Japan), so he has no reason not to do them

Thanks for letting me know.

Now that I know you're losing money on these, I don't feel as bad for not picking up a pair

We will lose more money if they don't get bought

Sad news - but understandable.
Pity! .. no brown duck coloured sneakers with black rubber soles in the future.

I couldn’t resist these any longer. Have a black pair coming my way soon.

Unfortunately the sneakers aren’t wide enough for my feet and will have to go back.

Not sure if someone's asked this already, but is it possible to order a spare pair of laces?  These look like the same types of laces that I have on my John Lofgrens, and I loooove those laces.  I haven't found a place where I can order a spare pair, though.

let me find out
