I have noticed that the prices of Adidas, Nikes and Reeboks are cheaper incountries likeDubai and theUSA than in India. Why?
The higher prices in India have a lot to do with the high rate of custom duties which the government imposes on imported products. It is very similar to car imports in India – a $40,000 car would end up costing double the amount here when you import it.Athletic footwear brandsdo not have a consistent pricing across the world due to different rates of taxes and duties in various countries. I have noticed thatthe only exception to this rule is Converse, which sells its basic Chuck Taylors in Indiafor less than the global average of $40. That is because Converse in Indiaproduces its basic Chucks here, which might be cheaper to manufacture, hence the lower retail price.
