Importing Sneakers: Is It Worth It?
The sneaker market in Brazil is booming, driven by the “sneakerhead” culture, which has become a trend, and the desire of Brazilians to buy the latest sneakers. However, the high prices in Brazil, due to import costs and profit margins, make buying imported sneakers a very interesting option. However, one of the first questions that comes to mind is regarding their prices.
With this in mind, we at WeGet2U decided to create this blog to help you understand how importing sneakers works, where to buy them and whether it is feasible to buy from abroad and bring them to Brazil. Follow along with us below!
Sneakerhead Culture in Brazil
In English, the term “sneaker” means sneakers. Thus, “sneakerhead” refers to someone who is obsessed with sneakers, that is, it is what we call someone who is passionate about and collects all types of sneakers.
With the internet and globalization, brands like Nike, Adidas and New Balance have become so popular in Brazil that even local artists, like Krawk and Danzo, have made songs in homage to sneakers.
National Market
In recent years, with the growing popularity of sneakers, specialty stores such as Authentic Feet, Artwalk and Pineapple Co., among others, have expanded the variety of models available in Brazil. However, despite this progress, the supply of sneakers in the country is still limited.
Most of the sneakers sold here are already imported, which, added to shipping costs and profit margins, significantly increases prices. Furthermore, if what comes to Brazil is already limited, then other exclusive sneakers end up not even arriving in Brazil, making access to certain limited editions even more difficult.
So… Is It Still Worth Importing?
Yes! Importing sneakers is a great option, but you should keep an eye on both shipping and customs inspection so as not to ruin your experience.
So, pay attention to the weight of your product, because if it is too heavy, it may end up being a problem when shipping, as the shipping cost will be higher.
However, much of this problem is related to the box the model comes in and often removing it at the time of shipping can solve this problem, and, furthermore, if you import more than one pair, choose to send them separately.
So, pay close attention to details like this and when declaring your product, as we would like to emphasize that WeGet2U does not intervene in the declarations, which are the sole responsibility of the importer.
