Chinese exchange starter kit: 🎩 - Supreme 👕 - Off White/Gucci/Fendi 👖 - FoG 👟 - Balenciaga/Yeezy

[@seanchoes]

so fucking true

[@ospinra]

What can y’all say? My people like to flex on y’all broke asses. Don’t get mad.

[@edchiang]

I have seen so many hipsters wearing those in Paris though.. and they are all white and black ppl actually.

[@OPTICXPROTOTYPE]

To be fair most shoes aren’t worth their retail price when factoring labor and materials. What drives value is craftsmanship and branding

[@joeylee6094]

Its mostly the brand. No craftsmanship to speak of, unfortunately..

[@GODOFLIQUOR]

Joey Lee not entirely true, look up Balencia Arena sneakers. Those are $500 but are high quality leather and crafted amazingly

[@KpopNiDontStop]

The Triple S. I would say are not really made any better than some regular old nike's or something.

[@leper763]

Jordan’s I’d say are really good but anything like Balenciagas are just stupid to buy

[@BooBooDaFoo330]

New Balance

[@thelizardkingg311]

Great video guys. Really liked how you pointed out the difference between having money versus being cool and that just because you’re wearing something that’s expensive doesn’t mean it looks good.

[@illuminati_2390]

Throw the balenciaga logo on sketchers and boom they’ll sell

[@ClasssicAri]

They are very well crafted. I’d pay $400

[@-47-]

They are expensive because people buy them. People buy them because they are expensive.

[@mainstream2765]

You genius

[@jumpmanman7901]

loved this a lot, thanks for quality content and reviews!

[@DebonaireGamer]

When Balenciaga shoes were manufactured in Italy I could (ever so slightly) agree with the pricetag. They were the Ferrari of sneakers so to speak. But now they're mass produced in China, so IMO they should be priced in the same realm as Nike/Adidas/etc.

[@danielkim6751]

i mean just cuz theyre from china doesnt mean theyre all the same. there are probably good chinese factories and ones that mass produce shit but putting them all in the same boat cuz theyre from china sounds a bit unfair...

[@DebonaireGamer]

@@danielkim6751 I am definitely not saying that they are all the same, because they're definitely not. I am just saying that the labor costs of producing these shoes in Chinese factories is MUCH lower than the costs of producing them in Italy. Therefore there's no longer a legitimate reason these Balenciaga sneakers should still be priced the way they are. Plus, I've read many accounts of a decrease in quality ever since the manufacturing got moved out of Italy.

[@xKapatroNx]

They even raised the price lol

[@DebonaireGamer]

@@xKapatroNx That's incredibly lame how they artificially ballooned their prices. Maybe there would be more diversity in the sneakers that are on people's feat if brands like Balenciaga had more reasonable pricetags. Hell, even the Nike FOG's were $400 or less at retail.

[@Norikochan38]

It's cheaper price in singapore and hongkong compare to western countries price

Love the videos bro. Keep it up!!

[@jordyvanbetten4534]

I seem to be the only one really liking this shoe, thing is; the fact that everybody says their overpriced makes me wonder if i should get them and if i will regret it if i do.

[@appelscha23]

Copped some triples s last week. They're super comfy, only thing is i'm 6'5 and when I wear them I have to duck for some doorframes now...lol

Did you go with your Jordan Nike or yeezy size?

[@minazmorgul]

I love the combination of red and black and grey in general, so these shoes look really cool to me. But the price tag, though...

[@nicholjohnguerrero]

Nice detailed explanation on designer sneakers and etc..hahahha more power sir :)

[@R4DIANTBeats]

You have yet made the best explanation to the people who don't understand why designer is so expensive.

[@derekridenhour8589]

R4DIANT Beats its only because of the name. Shit not worth $1000 dollars.

[@d925silvergaming]

@@derekridenhour8589 well most designer brands are worth more than your average every day brands but nothing you wear is worth $1000 for sure

[@silenthunter5909]

I'm there with you,Foamie. Money doesn't make cool.

[@robertfloyd1647]

Ikr

[@dascripta]

You made the point perfectly. I maintain that many of the less popular Jordan's (14 and up) would be high fashion sneakers if they weren't "Jordans". If the 18s came out of a fashion house and were called dix-huit , they'd be covered like Yeezys in prior years.

[@H00VER]

I like these designer sneaker reviews

[@gianmira755]

Saw u at a sushi place bro! Didn’t want to bother tho 👌🏽

[@frederik0510]

I used to have the OG bred CW, and the glue in the toebox came off so quick... quality was so bad on my pair:(

[@mesadrums375]

Every time you slap the heel on your hand with other shoes in slo mo, a wave travels through them. With these it shakes your whole body lol

Will you guys ever put the podcasts on KZbin?

[@wulyf4lyf]

I just bought the Grey washed triple S kicks. I love the defenders, but they don’t drop below retail that much. I love the triple S grey. They’re mad comfortable, bricks, but comfy and they go w anything. I absolutely have loved these for years and got them for under retail.

[@saulvillasenor]

Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, E. Ungaro, Hubert de Givenchy, Christian Dior, and some others where Balenciaga’s pupils. Only for those reasons, the price is worth it! Best wishes from GDL JAL MX !

[@dbswlstjr6990]

i love these shoes, prolly my favourite shoes of all time. just my opinion, ik people hate these, but i think thats what makes this shoe cooler for me.

[@nananayeyeye6229]

In the uk, the retail is £650 but I bought my pair for £425 at a designer outlet

[@ZGHOSTOWANI]

I love this color and tripple s desing i have 4 pairs my favorite shoe

Update i have only 1 pair and these was a black and white xD the red one just broke i dont recomend balenciaga at all.

[@cristianomedeiros9831]

Great vid

[@vickytutorials]

I see alot of people saying they're too expensive and stuff but these shoes are definitely made for people who can spend money without caring.

[@dowor999]

I love my Saint Laurent and Prada sneakers. I don't own a lot because the price tag hurts my heart but i still love them and to me they're worth every penny. I don't think every designer shoe is worth the price tag though.

[@yungliz17yungchoppa94]

they is i have 2 pair of balenciaga low top and high top i pay 800.... ,650. they been wore tho how much should i sell them for

[@100Stratusfiedx]

I have the same exact color way and ask how many times I've worn... none.Way too heavy and I waited too long to return.

[@sarafbhuiya56]

When is the concord giveaway over?

[@KpopNiDontStop]

I would say the driving force for these is famous people started wearing them and it started to spread like wildfire.

this shoe and this exact colorway was the first designer sneaker i’ve ever copped. hated paying $900 for them, definitely not worth the price AT ALL but the shoe itself is extremely dope if you look at all the detail put into it. if these were $500 i’d say it’s fair price. that goes for the made in Italy pairs, not the made in china pairs

[@AJ-sj7qx]
