The Air Jordan 6 Flint Nostalgia Will Be Disastrous To Retailers, Available Now Below Retail
1 views
Feb 20, 2025
The Air Jordan 6 Flint is making its official debut on Saturday December the 12th and my primary task was to come up with an estimate of the number of pairs made. I don’t think I’ll dive deep into the projection because the shoe is already available on eBay for below retail. All the major retailers and some minor retailers are receiving an inventory and let me show you a quick list of stockists I’ve already counted beside Nike Subscribe to Housakicks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZPK...

Oh sup guys on this in style from Arthur
0:03
kicks I've been off for like an entire
0:05
week that would a lot of things in the
0:07
house you know a lot of work so this
0:10
morning finally I got a chance to get
0:12
back on my computer and do some work
0:14
tomorrow the Jordan six Flint is coming
0:17
out and I'm gonna share my screen and
0:20
show it to you or these right here
0:22
let's go Nike the Jordan six retro Flint
0:26
I actually like the the the shoes
0:28
they're called a Jordan six flight north
0:31
tail gia or nostalgia i they basically
0:35
are like a remake of the if there is
0:38
Flint sevens they come in the same color
0:40
combination you know white gray and
0:42
black on it and this is a nice shoe I
0:45
mean when I saw the first time I like
0:46
that the leather looks like amazing
0:49
suede underlays here you see their suede
0:53
on the lids on the toe bar on on the
0:55
panels with the perforations and suede
0:57
on the toe box and just tumbled leather
0:59
on the outside and the overlays and the
1:02
pads and then you have your chamber you
1:05
know which is typical typical of the
1:07
Jordan six a little bit of purple on it
1:09
and gray and white now this is a nice
1:11
shoe so my job this morning was to try
1:14
and figure out how many pairs were made
1:15
and I was kind of stunned like and I'm
1:19
gonna go to my my website to just read
1:22
the stuff off of it because I don't
1:24
wanna I forgot you know I just wrote the
1:26
article basically so I'm gonna read off
1:28
the website
1:29
so basically when I did was usually I
1:31
just go and take account of all the
1:33
people that are getting it and most
1:35
major retailers again and most minor
1:40
retailers are getting it so I kind of
1:42
felt like a James for action East Bay
1:45
and finished uninhibit and then from the
1:48
minor retailers I have rubella or DT
1:50
Allah they're the same company kicks us
1:51
a sheik silica and Jimmy guys now shoo
1:55
silly is not getting a balance is not
1:57
getting there and and some others are
1:59
not getting it
2:00
so I guess Ruby a DTL are kicks USA and
2:04
shake they kind of have a special
2:05
relationship of Nike and if I'm not
2:07
mistaken because they can them by and
2:10
Nike of course is going to shoe already
2:12
showed it to you so
2:13
the next step is to come up with some
2:15
assumptions and then come up with the
2:16
numbers so the assumption is basically
2:18
the same that I've used most of the time
2:19
footlocker's preggers I get 1/3 of
2:22
everything that's coming out and when I
2:24
say full okay I'm coming I'm counting on
2:26
fraction James and East East Bay as well
2:29
so they don't get 1/3 and then the
2:32
online location are gonna get about 1/3
2:34
of what their physical locations again
2:36
and then East Bay is gonna get about 1/3
2:39
of what all the three online locations
2:41
again so based on that we just gotta
2:43
figure out how many physical locations
2:45
again the shoe and how many pairs of
2:47
physical locations again and and I did a
2:50
an average of 18 per store now you could
2:54
go on frog Foot Locker and see for
2:57
yourself like most house of loops again
3:01
there those are basically House of Blues
3:03
location I live in Frederick County so
3:05
if I put 2 1 7 0 4 that's my zip code
3:09
you got this is Bethesda that's like
3:11
that's our house of hoops this is a
3:13
house of hoops this is not a house Lewis
3:15
just like it looks like a house of hoop
3:16
this a house a roof almost like a house
3:19
of hoop and all these Tyson's Corner
3:21
House a loop this is a house of hoop and
3:23
then this is again HOH and all this kind
3:25
of stuff so it's basically hassle hoops
3:27
and some select locations these are
3:29
based on demographic they know what
3:30
people want and they're gonna give you
3:32
what they think you won't be able to
3:33
sell
3:34
so most of like those locations again
3:36
you can do the same thing for fraction I
3:38
guess all the fractions again let's just
3:39
check it real quick I'll do that in
3:41
front of you right now and then I'm not
3:44
gonna waste my time on on on champs cuz
3:46
it's not I don't want to be doing that
3:48
it's like boring stuff thing no I got
3:52
the wrong way you see this is it here
4:00
let's check that come on huh oh ok she
4:06
pretty easy stuff man like all the frogs
4:09
all the fractions are getting it so
4:10
let's get back to our cool all right so
4:13
this position so when I did it I
4:16
multiplied the FTL numbers 335 stars
4:20
times 18 you get 6030 fraction 270 times
4:23
18 you get 48 60 champs 133
4:27
you get 23 94 you are all this together
4:30
here 44 28 and then to get the East Bay
4:33
I divided the online location we all
4:36
decided to get divided by 3 4 4 4 28 and
4:39
east/west gonna be 44 28 divided by 3
4:42
1476 and then all together if you add
4:45
them all up you get 17 18 5 8 8 times 3
4:49
this is 4 2 5 6 sided fifty fifty five
4:52
thousand seven hundred sixty four pairs
4:55
and I'll just write off two like sixty
4:57
thousand again this is based on
4:58
assumption so it may not be the
5:00
reflection of reality I'm just trying to
5:02
give you a picture now
5:04
my next question is what I was
5:05
interested in because this is boring for
5:07
me like doing this stuff upstairs I
5:09
don't like that anymore
5:09
I wanted something else else exciting so
5:12
I wanted to see how many was sold
5:14
already so I went on like third-party
5:16
marketplaces I went on eBay and ebay
5:20
sold I just saw tonight him on it okay
5:23
eBay one I guess he back I counted one
5:27
sold here and then more six pairs sold
5:30
on eBay so far six pairs
5:32
I looked everywhere it's only six six
5:34
spread I was sold on eBay man I don't
5:37
know how much I sold is John four let me
5:39
see
5:39
I lost here I lost money on these are
5:42
sold for thirty two fifty five man gosh
5:44
anyway that's life me
5:49
so eBay six per sold and the average was
5:53
one eighty nine ninety stock X star
5:56
cakes I have it over here eighty four
5:59
sales and he here negative thirteen
6:03
point two percent said I mean this is
6:04
below retail 165 was the average price I
6:07
guess he just changed from like whatever
6:09
I checked it when I check it out a
6:10
little while ago let's see if they'd
6:12
never change here I'm just gonna keep it
6:15
the same
6:16
okay 90 sold as of now okay she is live
6:19
this is live and information and then
6:23
kicks if I I counted 13 sales which I
6:26
showed you here this guy sold one this
6:29
guy sold 11 and another guy sold two
6:33
pairs and I counted that and he came up
6:36
to
6:37
13 solar sails and the average of 20 and
6:41
6.38 so basically kick safai is the best
6:44
place to sell it on right now
6:45
eBay is probably the worst as fast like
6:48
how quick you can sell it stock access
6:50
by the fastest to sell it but then
6:52
that's what you're gonna lose the most
6:54
money calls the shoe selling for 165
6:55
from the retail prices 190 that's not
6:58
good
6:58
now what kind of inference can make now
7:01
I went on court could not find any data
7:03
on it so I disregarded that so based on
7:06
the numbers above we can say that 103
7:09
pairs will have already been sold
7:10
through the third-party marketplaces and
7:13
and in the average based on that is you
7:15
can add all three together eBay is
7:17
average stock X average and Kix if I and
7:20
the average came up to 186 point 93 now
7:24
if that's the case right
7:26
103 pairs sold so far that's like point
7:29
17 percent of the entire number of pairs
7:32
that were sold up our basis based on
7:34
like this sixty thousand pairs this is
7:36
pretty insignificant but don't let that
7:38
fool you what I'm trying to say is this
7:40
this is just those that were sold this
7:43
is not the listings there's two
7:45
different things sold and it currently
7:48
listed now this is the the point 17% is
7:51
a representation of what you're sold
7:53
doesn't mean that this is everything
7:56
that was listed for neon on a third
7:58
party so the Tavor i still have a
8:00
significant importance and I'll show you
8:03
why and based on this inference that I'm
8:05
gonna make next what I'm saying is this
8:08
like retailers are in deep trouble this
8:12
shoe is selling on the third party now
8:15
for 165 that's on stock X 186 193 which
8:21
is less than retail retail is 190 plus
8:23
tax so if these guys people aren't
8:26
buying it online for this much what
8:28
makes you think people are gonna go
8:29
tomorrow to get that shoe retailers are
8:33
probably banking on cash customers
8:35
people that just still don't know how to
8:37
use a computer or they don't know how to
8:38
use their app or your their phone and
8:40
stuff like that well I think this is
8:42
what's gonna happen and my friend my
8:44
business partner Oh Chris from ours
8:46
talked about it gradually what's gonna
8:48
take place is this let's cash customers
8:51
gonna use the car shafts that are now
8:52
existing everywhere and once they figure
8:55
it out crash customers are gonna
8:57
disappear so that means retailers are in
8:59
deep trouble so what I'm gonna do on the
9:02
next couple of days is I'm gonna monitor
9:04
this release for the next seven days to
9:06
see what sides are still left on retail
9:08
see you're like I'm gonna check
9:10
footlocker finish line and all these
9:11
places do you see what sizes are the
9:13
shoes I still left and I'll go to my
9:15
local mall and see if I can collect some
9:17
data because this is what I'm thinking
9:19
the issue is gonna be terrible for like
9:21
retailers that's gonna sit and then
9:24
they're gonna a nobody outlet and then
9:25
the cycle begins and Nike is the big you
9:27
know you know like when you look at a
9:30
grand scheme of things
9:31
Nike always wins because dashes gonna go
9:33
to the outlet for 160 and people are
9:36
gonna jump there and buy it and I've
9:37
already explained a lot of things based
9:39
on the article that I wrote like I wrote
9:41
an article and that was like last week
9:44
this one you need to go and read if you
9:48
get a chance it explains everything that
9:50
I'm saying here it talks about the RVT
9:52
system and everything but this is what I
9:54
wonder how you recommend to you guys
9:56
this book by Chris he's actually working
10:00
on one now he's gonna show you a lot of
10:03
things based on a lot of stuff that he's
10:05
done over the last year but I would
10:07
highly recommend this book that he wrote
10:09
about a CEO this is just a preview of
10:12
what's coming to you next and let me see
10:16

time to listen to what I said then you
