In Chapter 4 of Sneakerlaw the team discusses manufacturing and distribution. This is the longest chapter thus far and runs the gamut of info from the parts of a sneaker, to where you can get kicks manufactured, to the various paths to distribution. I deliver notes and show the processes discussed in the book via my brand ARCH.
