think they ordered 500 pairs from memory after saying they could sell 10,000 globally with ease! pitching them at £80.00 instead of easing their way into the market was a bit ambitous in my book...same with the gloves provided them with a great design of glove complete with ACIS (which you can physically feel the difference in impact with it deflated and then deflated when whacking your hand with a bat mallet) and they pitched them at £70!!!! trying to make too big a margin instead of getting the product in circulation IMO
