Implementation Case: Air Jordan New Colorways
The most successful application occurred during the Jordan Retro "Neon Lights" release, where the spreadsheet system:
- Identified market preference for size US9.5 early in testing
- Detected 40% lower than expected demand for GS sizes

This resulted in 30% reduction in dead stock exposure while improving cash flow by 18%compared to previous releases.

Essential KPIs for dropshippers to track in their A/B tests:

- Inventory velocity through different price points
Entrepreneurs can implement similar frameworks in their Mulebuy operations
