my man you really know what it is... I've been ll over Asia and seen the factories... Brands are RIPPING people, you actually pay for the image
The factories don't have to pay for R&D. They just have parts and instructions to put them together.

Yeh that's true. However, research and development doesn't warrant the high price, it's mostly marketing (for shoes take yeezy for example, absolutely not performance shoes but more expensive than performance shoes adidas actually spent money for R and D.

There's supply chain. And tooling and the need to pay all their employees. The brand certainly impacts the price but it's not as astronomical as some make it seem.
