What is the minimum order for custom branded sneakers?
True custom production needs a minimum: OEM (your design) starts at 200 pairs per style, and ODM (our lasts plus your brand) starts at 500. If you want a smaller start, use in-stock styles from 10 pairs per colour and add branding on the next order.
The ladder
- In-stock: 10 pairs per colour - test the market.
- ODM: 500 pairs - our lasts, your brand.
- OEM: 200 pairs - your design and last.
Why a minimum exists
Custom tooling and setup need a viable run. The practical route is to trial ready-to-ship styles, then move the winners into OEM/ODM with your branding.
