Hi Liam, Felix here.
First time contributor on the Fastlane Forum but have been in the drop ship game for 4 years.
Let me start off by saying that you will most likely not find any legitimate suppliers who will drop ship the brands you’re interested in.
You actually need a license to sell brands like Nike and usually this can only be obtained via a whole seller in your region. Even then it is not that simple.
You must understand that brands like Nike and adidas have processes in place to protect their brand and how it is distributed.
One way they achieve this is via restricting who can sell their brands.
That’s why you only find those brands in established stores and reputable online platforms that can place last wholesale orders and can sell the brand in large volume; not someone who wants to drop ship them from their laptop at home.
If you’re seriously interested in drop shipping then my advice is to avoid products with any brand loyalty (ie Nike) and especially men’s trainers as you’re competing with the largest players in the game.
There is a lot of opportunity in e-commerce and I admire your creative thinking. But as with any business you must always consider what is also feasible in your own realms.
Happy to answer any more questions man!
Cheers
