@@CheGuevara-uf4pm The entire shoe industry right now is pretty much 99% around hype which IMO is really lame and feels extremely clout chasey.

not only do I like the fact that they are $20,it felt really good to just be able to go on the website and purchase retails weeks later without any stress,raffles and worrying about having to buy resale,that’s how it should be.

[@bookbookbook1]

I bought stuff from the website a week ago, Literally first time hearing of the album too as I'm not super into hype stuff as I was in highschool. Even though I'm not into the culture that much anymore I couldn't just not get a shirt, hoodie, the shoes, etc. Because the prices are legit cheaper than most basic clothes you can get at walmart for example. You literally can't go wrong with trying the pods and even if you don't like them that much they were only 20 dollars so its no biggie really.

i don’t think that’s why it was done. it wasn’t just the Yeezy pods that dropped to $20, it was everything on the site. i recall seeing on twitter that it was the anniversary of something and so everything on the website dropped.

[@nikolaleus]

no, everything turned to $20 because that’s what Kanye originally wanted for his clothing to be; affordable and good. apparently none of the manufacturers before wanted to go that low but now that kanye’s on his own he’s able to sell them at his price

[@AntonioAguirre]

You’re thinking shortsighted with this. I’ll tell you why as a Marketing Analyst. Yes, they made over 19M USD, but by pricing all their products at $200, he now knows what products are highest in demand, in this case it was shoes. This will now help him innovate in the right areas. And since all the items are on 2-4 weeks preorder basis, he’s paying for all the products out of sales, not from his own money. And since he sold almost 300k items, Kanye now has access to your email, home address, phone number and even your sizes to promote to, all for ONLY $7M in Superbowl ads. Now through his google analytics data, he can now see what his buyers sre buying also. What can you do with that? Organize popups, concerts, distribution spots, etc. Now with all that marketing genius of $20 free promotion he’s getting from people like you, he’ll eventually increase his prices and run his “preorder” method once again. And that is how corporate marketing works in 2024. 😊

Stay cozy at home

[@jujuthedude]

It’s as comfortable as a sock but has the utility of a regular shoe you can wear outside. I think that’s pretty practical for 20 bucks, something that I can walk around the house with but if I have to drive somewhere real quick I don’t have to put on shoes. Slides and other types or slippers/sandals I don’t feel comfortable walking around in public and driving in. People say the pods feel good walking in. My only questions are the durability and if they look bad after being worn for a while.

honestly $20 sock shoe things meh, but $20 pants and shirt and hoodies i’m all in man, same quality as before just a few hundred dollars less, just shows how inflated prices are if they can still make good money off of the prices being that low. even at $20 for a good quality shirt you’re still getting absolutely shafted compared to what it costs to make.

The initial pricepoint was for one of two things. 1) Ye wanted to see if the design fit the "luxury-designer" aesthetic he's built in the eyes of the consumer. 2) He needed a loan to increase manufacturing.
