WHY ARE BALENCIAGA SNEAKERS SO EXPENSIVE?! (Are They Worth $895?!)

[@ew5670]

I would love to see y’all attempt to design this. Every texture, layer, and piece is so thought out, and yes you’re paying for the name and experience, but you become a part of those who set the trends, and not the ppl who absorb the aftermath (knockoffs, shoes inspired by the dad sneaker trend, etc) I just got the track hike and I’m just blown away at the beauty. They almost look like something that should just be admired and not worn. Sneaker design is not easy. Also not to mention.. who else has the audacity to even make a shoe so crazy??

[@MinuteMayne]

[@Cavemf]

Belenciagas are so expensive because they say balenciaga.... that’s pretty much it🤷🏽‍♂️

[@itsjustahmed8927]

Luis Mieses Agreed I mean there is no other reason to it the sneaker doesn’t have special Technology to it or whatever

[@livolas]

You can say the same about most sneakers really. Nike, NB, adidas, they all do it. Not as much as balenciaga, but still. Selling 10$ sneakers for 150$. Ok, add R&D and marketing. That's 30$ tops.

[@austinknox8088]

@The Jake Show in my opinion

[@fullcirclekicks]

These in particular are a clean shoe. $800 price tag is there so that it holds a sense of exclusivity for the buyer. Gives them that “you ain’t got these” feeling

[@RBLXGaming23]

Completely disagree. Balenciaga's are much higher quality than your average sneaker. The materials they use on the track trainer are superb compared to regular athletic shoes made by companies like Nike. The price is justified compared to cheap Jordan 1's that people pay resell for just because they're artificially scarce.

Never understood why these are so expensive. They look like Salomon running shoes (which isn't meant to be a bad thing). What bothers me the most is that Balenciaga is cool with resting on the brand name instead of putting something out that is actually innovative in some meaningful way.

[@Sciencef1ction]

Sean Tyree I think balenciaga is at the forefront of new concepts, and not just using there brand name, they broke new ground with the triple S and the amount of layering/panelling on this shoe is something new as well. While the silhouette is reminiscent of a Salomon or Hoka for example, There construction is vastly different

[@cpt.waddledoo4645]

Aren’t they being innovative by using new concepts like the triple s?

[@KlicKlacBang]

what are you talking about baleciaga is the most innovative brand

[@hoppysport2872]

You hit it on the button. They look similar to a pair of Solomon trail shoes that I've had for years. Need to dig those things out of my closet. They were buried for a reason...to busy of a design. Sturdy though. I paid $80. Ha!

[@TatzkaTube]

you're paying for an idea. its like going to a Michelin started restaurant and paying hundreds of dollars for a meal. Yes the quality is good. Yes the craftsmanship is good or the way the ingredients are put together, but at the end of the day you're paying for the story that the chef was trying to tell with the meal and the reputation of the restaurant. Balenciaga is the same, you're paying for them to be able to take tradition shoe designs and reimagine them into something innovative just like Michelin starred chefs do with traditional cultural cuisines.

[@matttheknicksfan]

They always find their way to sneaker channels and sites that usually provide content on mainstream sneaker brands.. the thing is 3-4 years from now no one will be wearing those sneakers or the chunky platform sneaker . They’ll move on to whatever designer is hot at that moment. But the rest of us will still be rocking Jordan’s and AirMax for ever

[@jesusbrown9276]

[@AntiPeoplePersons]

Lol if you all owned a pair you would know why they cost so much, the quality is immaculate. The durability of the shoe damn near makes it a boot….

[@NativeNorCal650]

I prefer GOAT over StockX. The reason is that Stock will send you a flawed or blemished authentic sneaker, GOAT would let me know before sending me the shoe if it had any flaws and give me the choice if I still wanted it. It cost a little more, but who wants a flawed shoe, especially if it's expensive.

[@GodSovereigntyX]

Darin N it actually depends. I started to like Goat more because I could actually buy used sneakers for way less and in good condition. And now that Goat doesn’t tax (and now StockX does), as far as price is concerned StockX is losing in that arena

[@SVINTWEST]

Designer should not be made in China...

[@kriscuypers580]

marketing cost, limited releases, limited numbers per release, brand name ... and they want to cash in max on the buyer’s market without that surplus going to resellers! Nike and Adidas have millions of ‘normal affordable sneakers’ feeding their topline. Balenciaga has a limited sneaker line for their topline, but bigger margins. Total cost % is also higher though due to the smaller size of the company. Bottomline: other business model, different type of target market.

[@chrisbow1776]

I would not even want to spend £10 of them, they look crap. People are insane to spend such money on something so cheap to make. Only looking at this today because a relative of mine showed up in a pair of these branded trainers cost £725 British pounds. Insanity

Give Them To The Homeless, Give Out Hundreds Of Them.... And, Watch The Name Bite The Dust.. Psychologically, No Rich Folk Would Wanna Own Them After That.... And, The Rest Would Be History.

That's All This Is. (BTW, I Don't Know Who The Freakin Designer Is...) Nike And Adidas Would Kick The Dude Out If These Were In Their Computers. The Common Projects, Converse, UA...(Very Under-rated) They Make Better Shoes Than Balenciaga, Of Course, With Aesthetics In Mind. I Am Just Saying.... Everyone Knows It.

[@keijokelvoton8936]

I feel sorry for people falling into this marketing madness, and overspending on these silly $1000/1000€/£1000 sneakers that just scream "Holy shit, they're really buying this crap!". Some day you will - hopefully - realize the Cardi B video was actually just a sneaky commercial. Funny thing when hip hop got industrialized and went mainstream, certain brands have been on every music video and integrated as most of the lyrical content. It went from this: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZneTdHR7pKtnjq8 To this: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/an3Je6Gga5t7jLM

[@Unde4dmau5]

These things aren’t worth $40 to me, and much less $900. They look like something out of the reject pile from Skechers and what’s worse is that people will actually buy them because they say Balenciaga on them. That’s hype for you. Off-White, Louis Vuitton, and Balenciaga have a foothold in the streetwear market now because of collabs with companies like Nike, Adidas, Supreme, and Bape. But also look at current trends. People like Kanye are helping that mix of high fashion and street wear and everyone wants to try to imitate that. Is Virgil Abloh a genius? Probably. The Off-White collaborations continue to sell out time and time again. Is Kanye a genius? Maybe a little less so, but Yeezy still managed to corner a market that was open. All of this can only be attributed to hype, however. But, to each his own.

[@joekrahling]

F**k That, 895$ retail, it took 20$ to make you out of your mind, trying to ride a wave for a name. They’re not even good looking shoes, I’m good, I’ll stick with my 160$ AJ 1, Timberland boots and chucks man

So not worth the money. Designer companies have to charge designer prices. Just go into Neiman Marcus there's Gucci shirts that are less quality than Hanes that sell for over $600. It's ridiculous only thing that's more is the people that buy them. It's one thing to buy a car like a Rolls or a Bentley. But it's another thing to buy a shoe that looks like s*** for a 100 times worth more than it is. This is that shoe that the rich a****** thinks he's cool by buying he also thinks his wife's with him for something other than his money.

[@wesleyhenry6664]

I’m late commenting obviously but this definitely isn’t just a name and a price like the Dior Jordan’s this is a very complex shoe to make it’s definitely a mark up on it because your contribution to a fashion house is more than your contribution to a big a mega company like Nike... this shoe probably cost a between 200 and 250 to make to make its heavy and that much plastic and rubber are not cheap Nike is not manufacturing shoes with this much layering and detail...truly dissect the shoe and see what work they put in and what business is not trying to at least triple profits thus a grand is where the msrp is...now this Nike ispa is dropping for 5 bills and that’s the closest detail to the balenciaga tracks that I’ve seen by a mainstream company so bravo to them so keep that same energy let’s see that video asking why are they 500
