It’s just Funko pops for a different demographic, maybe worse because shoes have a use and are destined to sit on a shelf as a speculative asset.

Just get into magic the gathering and use the cards in a tournament smh

On the other hand, maybe better because the shoes have a use and someone at some time might actually wear them?

Idk, interesting to think about.

Because it’s absurd. If someone makes fake caviar and it takes less resources and causes less suffering, why is it still expensive? The entire point of OP’s post is that sneakers are overpriced and hyped up for artificial reasons. The cows are irrelevant

Me, a sneaker lover

Nah, but I get it too. I’m not the type to care about brands or creasing and what not. But the sneakerhead culture has pretty much fucked things up badly. Anything that gets hype starts to get subsequent release with artificial scarcity to drive up prices so that people that really just want to wear the sneakers are priced out.

Fuck, look at what happened with yeezys. Some adidas exec was crying about sitting on something like a billion dollars worth of stock and they’re still doing limited releases while trying to get rid of stock. They’ve held onto some for so long that some people received moldy sneakers.

I just assumed all Yeezys came moldy, based on the look of them.

The market has gotten out of control with bots. Yes, mfs are sniping new releases as soon as they drop using subscription bot services. They’re not wearing them either. They’re reselling them for 500% markup. I gotta admit it’s smart. I should create my own bit and create artificial scarcity for other dumb shit
