"Make a prototype, allocate sizes and measurements to each component, choose a unique material and 4 different colour layouts, register a CAC, gather 5 investors to give you $2k each, send $8k to China and let them make the shoes in bulk under strict QA, do QA again. Start a brand."

"These are amazing absolutely love it... But brother, take this advice. Buy a chemical nose mask and safety eye goggles, or make a full-screen shield. Your health is more important than your passion. No lung transplant in today's science field, ohhh."
@HRH_Ujuaku commented:
"You're incredibly talented. Please don't be tempted to add a fake foreign label to it."
