it's fashion

you're paying a little bit for the name, a bit for the design, etc

if you're talking about function, or durability, or how 'nice' the materials are... no, you're not getting your money's worth.

people pay 600 because they like the design enough to spend that much. they think they're getting their money's worth.

if the 600 price tag confuses you, then they're probably not the right shoes for you

These sneakers are worth $600 for similar reasons that Rick Owens shoes are $700-1500, CPs are $400, etc.
The $600 doesn't just pay for the product, it pays for the design, the designer/fashion house, the work that went into crafting the product (the materials, craftsmanship, qc), the importer (if there is one), the store, etc. What you get is a well made, uniquely designed sneaker that's built to last out of high quality rubber and leather.
you'll learn that there's a reason why things are so expensive in fashion: luxury goods are a luxury reserved to those with the expendable income to afford it. These items are not vital to your existence (as opposed to food, water, shelter) and are commodified as such. As always, the second-hand and sale/outlet markets are reliable ways for less well-off people to own nice clothes/cars/watches/guitars/televisions/etc.

Yeah, but just like >>8031150, I have seen quite a lot of raf simons iterations with exactly that kind of stamp inside of the tongue. They look hella legit, but just doesn't say "Made in Italy", which is confusing as fuck. I have never gotten a definitive answer on this. Are they really fakes? Are they just made in a different factory?
