"A YoY decline in conversion actually seems like it's not that unexpected of a finding but I think you'd need to know how Nike operates. They regularly release sneakers that are limited edition, highly-sought-after, and are sold out within seconds of release.

"Picking the value of 'k' can be little tricky. One simple approach would be to start with elbow method. Try different 'k' values and plot them on a graph like an experiment.
When the graph starts to look like an elbow, that's a good 'k' to pick!
Also keep in mind you may not always have clearly clustered data. The elbow may not be clear and sharp as you expect.
Hope this helps."
