ABOUT JOSEPH YANG
I have spent more than ten years working in trade.
My background is in sports, outdoor, footwear and apparel. I am now building a more independent way of working by turning practical experience in China into useful sourcing support for overseas retailers and resellers.
WHY THIS WORK
Experience is most useful when the process is visible.
Trade is rarely just a product and a price. It involves asking the right questions, understanding what a supplier means, comparing imperfect options, checking details and following a transaction until the next person can act with confidence.
I started documenting my work publicly because overseas buyers should be able to understand the person they are dealing with before they send an inquiry. I share what I am learning from product research, supplier conversations, pricing decisions, StockX selling and everyday work in China.
HOW I WORK
Clear communication
Questions, limitations and changes should be stated early—not hidden until the end.
Transparent costs
Product, service, shipping, taxes and third-party costs should be separated whenever possible.
Evidence-based decisions
Photographs, quotations, product details and source information are more useful than vague assurances.
Long-term working relationships
The goal is repeatable trust, not one transaction created by unrealistic promises.
WORK WITH ME
If you are sourcing footwear or apparel from China, tell me what you need.
I have spent more than a decade working across sports, outdoor, footwear and apparel trade in China. Today, I sell footwear on StockX and document the real work behind product research, pricing decisions, buying discipline and market observation. This site is a public record of that work.
