Some retailers can do whatever they like though, if they have the purchasing power. Price fixing is obviously not allowed, so all a manufacturer can do is speak between the lines about not selling the retailer any more stuff. However the larger retailers, Evans being one, can generally get away with anything. This has been my experience at two manufacturers who sell/sold to Evans.
The irony that Evans probably got the trainers for next to nothing when they got bought out and fucked over all their suppliers paying a pittance on their debt - I’m amazed anyone still deals with them.
