To quote @tomPietrowski from a similar thread:

"SMU = Special make up

if a shop commits to buying enough volume a brand will do a special color way. We do it for boots in europe. Gives a shop an exclusive product which can drive business just like this."

I wouldn’t call Blue Tomato an obscure German website. Also, isn’t blue tomato Austrian? Lol

Ufff those are actually pretty hot!

And yeah, Blue Tomato is maybe the biggest lifestyle-sport chain in Europe so not obscure at all

i have bought two pairs of pivots and a pair of boots from uk/german based websites.

shits fire and the deals are insane

also shipping isn’t even bad because you usually save like 45% off of retail anyways

SMU's are often used by online stores to set their own price, so heavily discounted in a set or something like that. Competitors can not "complain" to the product brand about the price because it is a different product.
