[@goatedbasketball]

[@TheSingularitarian]

Your Mom Only if they're shitty shoes to begin with. They aren't trophies; they're meant to be worn. So if they're designed in such a way that normal wear makes their appearance degrade, either because of poor construction or poor materials, you should ask yourself why they're so great to begin with. If the answer is: Because they look good on a shelf, then you are a sucker.

[@AndrewSuaste]

It went from $500 to $350 Rip

[@mesadrums375]

That’s what happened when they’re all made in the same place in China. Even more of an insult is that the only real difference is that Nike or Adidas just says “that’s authentic, the other one isn’t”. Both made of the same shit, and both probably feel the same. That’s when you really have to rethink this whole sneaker thing.

[@sawyer4417]

People are worried abt being caught

[@afanofall3131]

Resellabilty is also another reason why these shoes are expensive. Cant really make anything reselling a used fake shoe but you can surely make something out of a real shoe despite it being used

[@alvaroponce709]

Dumb people paying for them

[@LO-dm6uf]

​@@afanofall3131nobody wants to buy a shoe thinking about reselling it....most normal people with a brain by shoes only for their comfort, practicality, and style. Imagine buying used shoes just because they're an expensive brand....I'd rather by some new shoes of a lesser brand. This materialism culture is just disgusting

[@JazzD_335]

@@LO-dm6uf it is because they look cool, like how people buy in-game cosmetics or something like that even though they all do the same thing, because it looks appealing to them. Same reason people have decorations, they do nothing but add personalisation and look nice and if their is a popular type of decoration people do that instead of doing cheaper things that look the same. It's also because it is popular, if people want it and support it, it is more expensive but more stylish and cooler to have regardless of quality.

[@anailahm]

Jee Odi Not true at all. Some people just like the design but don’t wanna pay all that money. So they get the knockoffs which, of you get them from a good vender, and nice enough and sometimes comparable to the real shoe. It’s pretty smart considering those things

It's harder to showcase local original brands than selling known fake branded sneakers.. But yeah, I would rather buy unbranded/lesser known brands than fake ones. Not just for pride but for authencity and supporting the original creators (whether they're overpriced or not.) If they're real and you think they're overpriced, why would you even want to buy them??? Still to show off, right?
