What makes these Dior sneakers 1000$ ?? When u can buy vans and converse for about 60$ in same silhouette and same quality

they are able to charge ridiculous prices due to their name alone..very little has to do with the quality , unless u talking about like premium leather goods and shyt like that
Those shoes are hypebeast now. I don’t buy or wear shyt because I see some celebrity wear them. Kim Jones did his thing on those. But to answer your question I would rather buy these overpriced converse over vans because basic nikkas live in vans and only hypebeasts with money rock the diors. For the record I wouldn’t cop either

If you don’t have any designer in your wardrobe then there’s no business in us talking. There’s a difference in quality for sure have you seen these in person? They are good quality

:gucci: Did you say you rather get clowned by nikkas than get bytches? Lol
I dress to impress myself not men :yeshrug: lot of times then hypebeast pieces get compliments from other men than women that’s facts only. I would get more into street wear, if the culture wasn’t so foul

what is it?

tell me

you’re doing a lot of Juelzing

tell me why those shoes are 1000$...what rare and obscure fabrics and materials are the shoelaces made from?

and I’ll save u the trouble from looking on their website ...it says they are made by “technical canvas lining “ and “cotton shoe laces”

Those types of YouTubers are usually marketable or do shoe reviews, vlogs and go to shoe cons.

You're crazy if you think Nike would do business with NBA youngboy, promoting violence in his music, he's this generations Boosie
For second time why you keep bringing up Nike?

Fabrics are night and day quality. The translucent silhouette on those b23s I think they’re called is some strong material. The sole quality even looks really good. When I saw them I wasn’t too wowed by the laces, but the other all shoe pops. More craftsmanship are made into those shoes man, I don’t know how else I can describe it. These aren’t made in 3rd works countries like Nike and Adidas shoes (and they make quality shoes) the materials and labor isn’t like pennies to make it costs atleast a 100 to make those shoes. Please don’t ask another dumb question

you still haven’t answered the question

why are they 1000$ ? What work is done on that specific shoe to mark them up to 1000?

just admit..you enjoy being finessed by designer brands ..there’s no problem with that . Saks fifth ave is in business for that exact reason

there’s a difference when they are talking about their premium goods...like their bags, leather stuff, etc...but any designer t shirt or something like that with just print or stitching on it that cost 400$ is pure finesse

Those rappers better slow down asap. Ain't no show money on the horizon for the foreseeable future.
