Recent entries into Tier 2 cities like Gandhinagar show pop-culture demand beyond metros, with Tier 2 contributing 22% of store sales by FY2025.

Higher price inelasticity lets The Souled Store sustain gross margins near 54% despite a 12% rise in heavy-gauge cotton procurement costs in 2025.

Using licensed designs from Marvel and Naruto, the unit converted apparel buyers into shoe buyers, contributing to a 22% year-over-year customer reactivation rate in 2025.
The vertical burned INR 120 million in inventory and R&D cash in FY2025 but grew unit sales 65% versus 2024, signaling potential to lead the INR 12 billion affordable streetwear sneaker segment.
Co-ord sets achieving 2.5x volume growth in the 18-24 demographic
