It's worth noting that the difference between $21.64 and $35 is not all profit. I see they've left out marketing, which is generally one of the biggest expenses, and there's also inventory risk (sometimes they'll make products and be unable to sell them).
Everlane shoe on sale for $35, with the actual cost breakdown at the bottom for info. $7.02 materials, $2.16 hardware, $6.35 labor, $3.11 duties, $3.00 transport. (true cost, $21.64)
They even give you a description of the factory. https://www.everlane.com/factories/forever-sneaker
