Current Events > C/D: You would spend over $1000 on a pair of shoes

(+) Yeah! (+)

C

Really considering buying the Travis Scott Jordan 1s at $1600 and the Jordan Fragment 1s at $3000...

---

D. I wouldn't spend a hundred dollars on a pair of shoes.

---

no.

I might spend a couple to a few hundred on some dress shoes, but that's already really rare for me.

---

D, never. I'd only go over $100 for work shoes/boots or dress shoes.

---

Hell no

---

D

Most expensive footwear I have are some redwing boots. Those I can atleast justify since they'll last forever. I would never spend more than like 60 or 70 on sneakers

---

D.

250 at most

---

$300 is the max for me, so D.

---

The most I spend on shoes is around $160 every couple of years but I actually play basketball in them

---

My max is closer to $80

I'm DC loyal, they are the most comfortable and durable shoes for the money and I have no reason to ever change brands. I don't care much about appearance, I usually go black on black on dark grey or black.

---

Fragment 1s are a big flex.

---

Yes. If i liked something enough i wouldnt care how much i would spend my disposable income on

definitely wouldnt prioritise it over bills and stuff though. Would only spend stupid amounts if it was purely disposable income.

I'm buying a fake pair of these fuck it.

goddamn those are sexy AF

wish they werent a Miami exclusive release when they dropped

---

C but Im a huge brand chaser if my sig doesnt make it obvious.

I have a pair of Gucci Rythons that were 1100 new. Eyeing up the new season of Balenciaga track trainers but honestly shoes arent my priority rn, gotta re do the closest first.

---

D, I am not getting shot over a pair of fuckin shoes lol

---

I spent 250 on a pair of shoes a couple years ago. first time in my life I've had shoes that were worth replacing the laces.

I haven't regretted the purchase at all -- they're comfy and durable and they look great -- but I probably wouldn't go much higher than that.

---

---

D

Comfort and reliability. I don't need to pay our the ass for a brand name.

---

Someone really put in a bid for $18K

---

Maybe if they literally never wear out or get dirty and are appropriate in literally any context.

---

These were going for $5K a year ago. Stock market, baby.

---

Nah.

My ass is heading to Kohl's and dropping 60 bucks on a pair of shoes I'll wear for 2 years.

---

---

D, I am poor

Hell no

Holy shit no. I'm not spending over $100 on shoes I can't get repaired. Expensive shoes and boots are an investment.

---

D.

---

No way. I'm not sure I'd even go over $100.

---

900 and the rest on socks

---

Lmfao Jesus Christ no

Lotta ugly shoes posted ITT so far

Need me some Raf Simons Ozweegos

It's like a female T-1000 drug dealer on welfare.

---

i love shoes but honestly no unless money was no object.

i'd really like a pair of the travis scott lows but they are like what circa 8-900 now? and lots of fakes apparently.

---

Fuck no, the most I've spend on shoes is like 50-60 euros.

They're just shoes.

---

D
If I paid over 100 for shoes, they better last a lifetime. If they cost over 1000, they better damn well cure cancer!

---

D.

I am cursed with large feet, so the cross section of shoes that fit me and not look atrocious is not very large. There are only 2-3 brands that I like and they typically sell in the 200-300 EURO range, which is my max for shoes.

Imagine people really spend over $60 on a pair of shoes that cost $5 to manufacture and $10 to ship over seas.

And now we got people buying a pair of sneakers for $3500? Bruh. All that for a drop of clout. That's stupid as hell.

---

D Ill never understand sneaker heads

honestly these topics (and i've made shoe topics plenty myself) are not conducive to any sort of discussion cos most people on CE totally reject clothing/shoes/fashion as broad concepts and just go into them to trash whatever's on display. and that's before you start talking about stuff costing 1k lolll

Because fashion is a joke and most people would agree. If you want to talk about peacocking in overpriced pieces of fabric, you're better off going to a fashionista subreddit or something.

Not to mention most of the shoes posted in this topic alone are ugly as fuck.


---

yeah dude everybody who even admits to liking a piece of clothing is peacocking and is probably spending 10000 dollars on a rag as we speak. my gamer uniform of bootcut jeans, a hoodie and a video game character tee is all i need. i dress for comfort which is why i look like shit

Well then you can go into the fashionista subreddit purely from an appreciative stand point. Most people don't give a fuck about overpriced shit that doesn't even have an inherent aesthetic quality unique to the item.
