Shoulder Pad with Silicone Wash Finish for Sneakers
This shoulder pad is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the silicone wash finish surface, the 8# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps sneakers consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style, or reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 1000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
