Shark Tank US | Can Apolla Grab A Deal From The Sharks?
/ sptv
I like how Lori started raving about the socks when she realized she would be investing in them. She's pretty clever at boosting the sales wrapped in "just her opinion" lol
Yeah not gonna lie- that was a BOSS move by a BOSS woman for real. The psychology behind the moment she realized that they would go to 25 even after the counter- was some high level stuff.
You knew Lori was going to make an offer the minute she started doing an infomercial at 3:50.
Immediately, I said, I Want! But put off by 32-40. Hopefully Lori can bring the price down. I'll buy. I didn't know Lori was a pro dancer, good figure. She's so cute.
Lori just did a free QVC presentation 😅
Gotta love the evil shark laughs at 9:45 when she tells them it’s going to be an offer they might not like lol
Evil???
@@igo0di yes
I'm gonna assume that the other sharks left this one for Lori in particular because she has the "Educate & Demonstrate" platform. They do that sometimes so that the remaining shark can get the highest equity possible for the level of expertise.
That’s what happens when you only have one party to negotiate with. It’s not a groundbreaking thing.
@@stevenduckering8445 Who said it was?...I'm saying this for those who seem confused by the lack of offers, read the comments. If you know the info simply read and move on.🤷🏽♀️
Unless ur Barbara and Kevin decides to troll u and help the entrepreneurs get a better deal 😂 he’s really an unsung hero that way 🤌🏼
they didnt invest because they didnt want to.
It's strange that the sharks didn't already realize that they sell socks for 40 dollars when she told them they sold 100,000 socks and made 4 million.
I.4 million
@@Naturegurl124 1.4 million last year.
That's the problem. Sharks want to invest in something which has millions of buyers not thousands. And this product isn't for the masses. 40 usd for a sock? You can buy a lot of stuff with 40 dollars
@Abhishek Khampariya it can explode if they get a shark to put it out there. Construction workers or any hard labor.
@@akhampariya1 There is on the market similar socks... for 10-15 dollars who does the same job.
I am shocked that they weren't leaping to get a piece of their company. Bombas sell for quite a lot despite not having a grand purpose like these do. I got myself a few pairs of their performance socks and they provide INSTANT relief! They deserved more recognition than this honestly
Really? I was thinking of getting a pair.
Bombas popped up next let me watch lol
I loved bombas socks at first...then they got a cheaper manufacturer and it shows. Now I'm out for all socks.
@@bodhi1462 why would you ever buy Bombas socks, bro
Oh wow , I’m grabbing now just because of this comment. Thanks
i like how after Lori mentions she was a dancer the other sharks chime in saying they were dancers too just to be out🤣
It was almost full on ridiculous
@@whatsup7535 No, I believe they wanted to keep the vibe positive, since this product actually helps (former)dancers
As a dancer who has these socks, I can tell you, these are awesome! I highly recommend them!
Kevin being out of the deal seems to be sense of relief for them when they said thank you.
Kevin has done some deals that were great for the entrepreneurs. He has quite a network, social presence, team. It's not what you "give away" but what you get. You can't buy these guys time. They get approached daily with requests.
@@jmharris251 Totally agree with you
They wanted Lori and Emma
@@diamond852A woman-run business!
I'm so glad these two got a deal, they were amazing!
Hell back in the 90’s I spent $20-30 on soccer socks that had no support. Times really do change!
in the end they go from happily dancing to crying their eyes out in the span of 5 seconds 😂
Athlete + Foot + Greek name = ?
Not naming it Achilles was the biggest miss ever.
Maybe, but that name arguably connotes weakness.
Lori is obsessed she has the sock on with her heel 😂😂😂❤❤❤
It actually looked cute on.
Kevin: DOLLLARS DOLLARS 😂
This guy ahhahah, never fails to amuse us
I love him 🤣🤣🤣
Lorrie has much better foresight than the others. No wonder her return on investments from this show are so much higher.
Where did you see their ROI? Is it public information?
@@Brian-hd4rb yes
I was a gymnast since childhood and danced ballet since 3. Only those who have been athletes will understand this product. I'm like Lori, I don't like socks! However would buy these simply because I understand the benefits. I live a ligament injury caused by gymnastics. I wish they had long over the knee/thigh versions.
Never in my life will I spend $40 on a pair of socks.
Me neither
If you had foot issues and these helped, you would...or you'd be dumb..
Well its premium the sharks said it themselves it works for pain so 40 dollars is quite good
You might if you start having foot pain and foot problems!
When foot problems start hitting you, you might consider to buy these thing lol😂
Thanks for uploading! My Lunch Break was 10X better!!
hahaha same!
Hell yeah lol
Nothing like food and shark tank
I bought similar socks from Japan about 10 years ago for $20 😂
stop the madness!! - kevin 🤣🤣 that was funny to me
Some of the best presenters I’ve seen in years. Expensive, … but wonderfully presented by two very credible ladies. Thanks for the video.
$40 for a pair? Holy macaroni. These sharks are probably the only ones who can afford these. Skip food, buy a pair of those socks for this week instead.
They're 100% worth the price.. you'll spend more in painkillers or random cream or whatever in your lifetime than a 1 time purchase for this
I will try a pair....I drive truck and my feet swelling up cuz of gravity driving for so long
do you own a pair?
@@Rubaduck What does the fox say?
@@Rubaduck yes
So you think ONE pair of socks will last you your entire life, eh? Boy, you sure haven’t thought that through AT ALL.
FYI, I typically have 25-30 pairs of socks at a given time, and they tend to wear out and get replaced every couple of years. You think I’m going to spend $1,000-1,200 on SOCKS every couple of years?? 🤣🤣
But hey, if you want to wear the same pair of socks every day and think they’re going to last decades, you do you.
I can’t believe how many people in the comments don’t understand this is a health and wellness product not just a sock. Their price tag is fair in my opinion
Selling the patent, or even the whole company, to companies like Nike, Adidas, or Puma, really is the most viable way forward. They need to continue the research, that's expensive, and also they need to fight all the time to push the unit price down, for that reason they need to partner with some party with a huge budget and can manufacture at a huge scale
your 100% right
It’s interesting to me how you know that!! I don’t have a mind like that for numbers.
@@stuff1784 it’s because I’m currently doing my own independent research since 2020 about AI’s implementations in poultry farming. So I know how hard, and expensive, a research could be
I want to try them but at 36$ a pair that's insane
30-40 isn’t terrible. Even Walmart Socks are expensive wym
Every sharks was like wow wow at first then almost every one of them was out out 😅
Even millionaires are looking at $40 socks and going whoa. That’s a problem. And that’s when they went out.
Lori: "I'm going to make you an offer. It might not be one that you like."
Kevin: "Yeeeaahhhh!"
😂😂😂😂😂
Barbara: “I was once gifted socks by my ex boyfriend before he broke up with me and for that reason I’m out.”
@10:39 EMMA that smile ahahah
Compression socks can be expensive. My mother had leg and foot issues. A pair that are so,so can run 50 dollars.
I teach dance and have 3 pairs because they are that great. The dance world considers them dance shoes which is why we don’t mind the price
I can't believe almost all the sharks went out on this. If it was a keyholder that says welcome home,(that serves no purpose) you'll see them queuing up to make an offer. Thank goodness for Lori
Right
with millions in sales, there something that doesn't seem right and you can see it in how they didn't even try to negotiate that much, they were desperate for a deal
Revenue isn't everything, they hadn't even hit profitability despite 4 million in sales
It's funny where the most replay is at 👀🤣🤣🤣
Kevin is awake from the moment when he hears about sales
I’m a Nurse and will definitely look into these! @Apollaperformance the medical community needs you!
I was totally thinking this too ! Nurses are on their feet all the time, and think about these for patients in nursing homes who struggle with this pain
@@Alexis-sw4kk get a comfortable pair of shoes
Mr. Wonderful doesn't have a clue what what are talking about til they heard the price 😂😂
The energy in this one is huuuge
Lori is going to make a lot of money on this deal.
I love this! I hike most of the time and I always am looking for socks that compress your foot! ❤🎉
Brilliant, restrict blood flow to your extremities when you need it the most!
I BELIEVE YOU ON THE SOCKS lol Kevin
nike elite socks was selling for $20 years so the price isnt that big of a deal.
My first thought of competition was the Nike elites. I remember them being comfortable as hell lol
Yes i also got reminded of the Nike elite socks
Kevin hyping Lori 😂
all about the show !!
Damn they almost made me cry...hold it together man.
Lori will split the production run into dancers only socks which are the ones selling now and less expensive mass market socks to use the name and pump up sales.
The most watched part is 1:40 . I wonder why...
As a dancer, I’m not shocked at the $40 price point at all. It’s like an investment into a dancer’s career if they truly do help with injuries
I can't believe the some Sharks are shocked at the price. The socks are worth it!
No
@@damaiindah8587 not to you, but for people with foot pain likely yes. I had to wear compression socks for my calves working on concrete floors on my feet for 12 hours a day. Without them I couldn't sleep due to swelling and pain. I still had pain but it was manageable with compression socks. If something worked even better I would spend the money. I understand you would not and perhaps under any circumstances. But to respond "no" such as you did just understand you don't speak for me, you don't speak for others. I'm sure many other people out there would spend their money differently than you and have different values.
@@damaiindah8587 yes
You spent more in shoes 🤔
Thank You , Jenna , Cheap Bastards ! 🤣😂🤣😂
The Sharks all just flexing about their dance backgrounds 😂
Omg, I need these asap!!
Thoguhgt Robert would be in for sure. HE was so impressed immediately and then was out lol.
There's a difference between being a customer and an investor in a business.
to be fair robert's interested and amazed at everything
I need these socks 🧦
Wow one of the best pitch and product I have seen !!
Ahaha I love guessing the deals they are going to offer 😂😂
Havent watched the video yet but Barbara is out.
🙄. Real original.
People still comment Barbara is out in 2023?😬🤦🏾
@@CHAMPl982 I liked your comment, you`re just jealous because Ive got 14 huge likea
@@Dom-su9qb wow really impressive 🥱🥱
She still beat you to it,she didnt even show up !
The stirrup ones are cool!
I love u k3vin haha 😂
I understand need margins but that’s way to high unless it’s something you get sold in a podiatrist office
Like the stategy of Lory of trading, very smart and greedy when she has whole table for herself, and keeps calm, like saying no other way to go.
Are the socks made of kevlar?
Beautiful episode. 😅
When i was little i would always take my underwear and socks off haha
If I bought a pair of Sox from them b’s I know exactly where I’d put ‘em 😏
Robert always says "dalla" when someone reveals something
They cried at the right time. At the end, after having gotten a deal.
Considering all sharks agrees on the quality, surprised to see just one offer . Sometimes I feel sharks want quick return on investments with lot of existing sales rather than projected sales after exposure and their involvement.. once they scale the business and bring the cost down, they will explode especially with Lori!
I need these socks!!
There's a variety of diabetic socks & leg braces with a diversity of compression & price points.
Also have them with zippers for longer ones, to get maximum fit, as you cant get the narrow part over the calf without losing compression.
I'd like to see how they'd do a longer sock
Everyone boasting but no one busting the moves!
I want Lori and Robert dance together they'll good as partners haha
What's with the Female Owned business stupidity? You don't hear men saying Men Owned company.
Is this socks company still good or shut down??
I’d never pay that much for a synthetic sock
How well will these do in composite toe shoes walking for 12hrs in a warehouse
40$ is the price of my shoes 🙂
I hate how everyone keeps talking over each other.
When you have foot pain, you will spend whatever to ease the pain when you walk.
Barbara called in. Her feet are in, but she's out.
It's like the sharks knew this was Lori's deal so they gave bullshit excuses and bowed out.
LOL what the hell was at 10:39?!
Literally came here to comment about that ahahaha
Barbara called in and told them she was out
Ya kevin sales , open source marketing , advertising
They got the best shark, congrats! Would like to distribute these socks in ASEAN.
I remember growing up I used to wear plastic socks because my family didn't know best or probably because that's all what they could afford. 20 years later and I still have PTSD from the stink I had on my feet every day and all the embarrassment that goes with it 🤣 There's no way in the world I'm paying 40 bucks!!!!!! for a fancy pair of plastic socks, I don't care how comfortable they are. Team 100% cotton for the win 😁
Hopefully she does something about the prices. I can't justify paying $36 for a pair of socks. Especially when I'd be using them daily
If you're in pain and find something that alleviates it, you will spend because odds are you've already spent a fortune on other things that haven't worked.
Do you pay that in shoes? I wouldn't because I'm not on my feet a lot but I'd assume if I was I'd like them.
Really depends on quality the worth. I bought 20€ socks and they lasted 1 year in everyday use and I didn't sweat with them. Compared to cheap store socks which break in a day or two and get sweaty there can be a difference
Its disgraceful to see mr woderful behave like this...come on they have done 4.1 millions in sale yet mr wonderful didn't even give them his favourite deal ...it looks more scripted that they all leave this deal.because of lori
price point is too high for the mass market
Just generic good quality socks are expensive , it’s crazy to me how much they think those prices are expensive , premium basic socks cost that much easy, just basic compression socks are not cheap, but Lori to the rescue.
So if i jumped off a skyscraper with those socks on with NO PARACHUTE..any chance i can experience the comfort of those socks while airborne?
Their reactions to the price are odd because she already set up the math to figure out the shelf cost lol, were they sleeping
I will spend hundreds for multiple pairs of socks if it means my dancer can dance without pain and repetitive injuries. I just bought a pair of the joules shock as well as recommended it to another dancer who is dealing with an ankle injury. They are 100% worth it.
me watching this with a sprained ankle
Robert is so handsome 😅
These socks are a great idea and they need to get into multiple sports- one for example is snowboarding!! Your feet are so important!! And comfort! When you are shredding down a mountain. I wanna try these!!!!
@Mirsan - how many people "snowboard" down a mountain ??
Uh…hasn’t compression socks been a thing for like decades???
@Jackie Cheng - re: "Uh" = do you tend to start off sentences with "Uh?"
Yes, and seemingly cheaper
Who is the guest shark??? She’s absolutely beautiful oh my word
