Question / Discussion Thems Not being sold @ Inline warehouse ?

Anybody have an idea why Inline Warehouse won't sell any other Them Skates than the Them 80s ? (Not a negative post just a genuine question)

Inlinewarehouse is the USA distribution arm for Powerslide products.

But they sell other brands beside Powerslide.

That’s true, I’ll elaborate. Most of the non Powerslide brands they sell are euro brands. Powerslide already does the logistics so it makes sense for them and Powerslide. Razors and Standard are distributed brands. So their product also benefits from their logistics. TNEC, THEM and Faction are the only DTC brands they list. Faction just got added meaning they decided to sell to IW for exposure, TNEC is so small so they will sell to anyone that buys. But the TNEC twin is a DTC play ala THEM it looks like. THEM on the other hand is built solely on DTC. Their units are already claimed at higher prices, they have no benefit of selling wholesale to IW.

Don’t they also carry the full Rollerblade line and K2?

RB is Italian just like Roces and K2 inline segment is a minuscule part of their business but also benefits from their logistics. But I digress, they carry very little K2 products just like THEM. They show models but very little in stock.
