Sneaker-heads often obsess over the newest products and exclusive offerings. Which is why Nike, Snapchat, and Shopify partnered for a one-of-a-kind sneaker drop.
Satish Kanwar is the VP of Product for Shopify. He explains that this venture was extremely successful for all three partners. The Air Jordans were sold out quickly, Snapchat engagement was high, and Shopify saw seamless and swift retail.
Kanwar thinks that the future of shopping will continue to expand on social channels. Shopify already partners with Facebook, Pintrest, and Snapchat.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
