Gr8 Incarnate dude you just proved your own stupidity. Notice that you said it was a “STUNT”. In real life things that are priced more are better. Period. Look at any cars, phones, houses, etc.. Hahaha u said poor people buy stuff. Dude, people like u are lucky to even afford the 2009 iPod touch that they’re typing on TH-cam with.
Queen Chelsi - this is what I have been telling people for years, it looks like it finally fell on the right ears. These shoes were all made if vinyl and other strange materials. These materials are uncomfortable and damage your feet. Some people see the price tag and automatically say these shoes are fabulous and they are not.
@@alin5293 Yeah, it feels staged. I can't imagine any so-called "fashion-influencers" agreeing to be filmed making a bad decision. Wouldn't it prove that they aren't good at their job -- thus career over?
@@alin5293 Actually, you are right; they even admitted it --> 0:24 "...guest _invited_ to check out what looked..." Stores don't (selectively) invite certain shoppers, and then proceed to film them without their consent.
I used to dress up in branded goods when going out clubbing or to bars with friends but what made me stop was I wore some cheap jeans, t-shirt and jumper that I bought from the supermarket to my mates one day as we were just chilling and everyone gave compliments on what I was wearing.... I never got them when wearing branded stuff so then I realised why waste my money on stuff people can't tell the difference to anyway.
The difference is minuscule in many products. A cotton tshirt from Prada isn’t going to be 60x better quality than one from Hanes. There’s only so much you can do. Generally you are paying for unique style and exclusivity.
I once bought a pair of cargo shorts by Kenneth Cole Reaction that were allegedly $90 originally for $30 at Marshalls. Honestly, I didn't think the quality was all that great, and found that the $20 Wrangler cargo shorts from Target seemed much better quality.
rustybones99 , very rarely does PAYLESS get repeat customers who wear the same shoes Every day because THIER SHOES are of the LOWEST QUALILITY and They LAST as long as SHOES that are the LOWEST QUALILITY!! PAY LESS SHOES SUCK!!
@@juliorosenberg9968 I have several pairs from payless that lasted 5+ years. I still have several pairs of dress shoes even now. 💁♂️ Not everything is cheap, or maybe you just are too hard on your items. Idk, but I haven't had any issues.
Lol it wont take long for them to notice the thredding, the dexterity and padding of the shoe. So in essence, they'll save money for all the law/class actions suits that will eventually come
It’s UNBELIEVABLE how materialistic and shallow people are!! This past summer I purchased a GORGEOUS pair of sandals that were designed by Christian Serriano and every time I wore them I received compliments. People for some reason couldn’t believe they were from Payless. I have shopped there for years and will continue to do so. Labels don’t impress me only a persons character does.
Its Siriano, Christian Siriano. I'm sorry for correcting you, but he's my favorite designer . I love him so much and his designs, so I couldn't help myself.
Just goes to show how many ppl are materialistic and stuck on something being name brand, since they all loved the shoes when they thought were designer footwear. Even the quality of the shoe was considered great by one guy , Im sure that all changed once they were told it was Payless because someone who would pay hundreds to thousands of dollars for shoes will likely nvr shop at Payless. What they shouldve done was do this exact same prank & refund these ppl their money. But instead of letting them keep shoes that they will more than likely throw in the trash & nvr wear, donate the shoes to homeless shelters or give them to ppl who cant afford even a $10 pair of shoes instead of giving them for free to someone who could afford to buy whatever they desire.
Melody tR True what the hell is the the point of designer clothes?Most wear them just to show off,heh meanwhile my mates who always made fun of one of the guys in the group for not having designer clothes were surprised when he didn’t even have to use mortgage to buy a home in in Central London.Shows how materialistic some people can be and want to show it off(as is human nature) but when they realise someone they made fun of for being poor based on the assumption he didn’t spend thousands on designer clothes shows that he was modest rather than showing off his money.
ThinkLascivious supreme isn’t actually expensive. If you go to their stores a shirt is anywhere from $25-$50. They even sell their special edition shirts for the same. It’s just they don’t put a lot out so their resell value is high. You can’t blame supreme for that.
@Prince of Prussia Diamonds are, like the saying says, LITERALLY a dime a dozen. They're everywhere, and most of the crap we buy is lab created anyway, and they tell you they pulled it out of some mountain in Chile or South Africa, lmao. People are so gullible.
"You can tell that it's made with high quality material." No you can't. You're saying that because you think that it's high fashion. I can smell the plastic through the screen...
We live in such a superficial time where people are more concerned with image than actual substance. They overpay for material items because of the status it seemingly gives them. It's sad.
Tony Bomboni ASMR I hope you enjoy em dude but to say they’re better than designer shoes is just dumb. They aren’t and that’s not arguable as I’ve owned both expensive and cheap shoes
That is absolute proof that luxury items are made with the same materials and same hands as cheaper options, it's their brand name which makes them expensive
Same. The only reason i dont go to Payless is because tbh i actually dont care for their fashion shoes. But you’ll catch me up in GoodWill in an instant, hunting
I just don't understand how a connoisseur of fashion would not recognize the level of craftsmanship in a high end shoe. Believe me if you know quality you can easily pick out high end and low end products whether you are shopping at Marshall's or Saks Fitfh Avenue.
hazelfreckle oh please! there’s not that darn much of a distinction. Maybe when you get into certain materials, like alligator, snakeskin, lambskin, wool, cashmere, silk, genuine leather, etc. then yes, quality can be assessed. But just regular old material? You could find the same article of clothing in H & M that you might find in Barneys with a different label and a much higher price tag.
I think it's because these people were so called "influencers" with their Instagram accounts with a lot of followers. Lots of posers out there. I really believe someone who actually works in the fashion industry would be a bit more doubtful and critical on those merchandise when they walk in. But, who knows!
The coolest think about champion is that they do different tiers of quality though. They have a warehouse that makes the cheap stuff you'll see at Walmart, Kmart, or Rue 21. Then they have medium tiers, which you'll see at Zumiez, Champs, or Footlocker. And their 3rd tier is primarily sold on their website. All the fabrics are actually made of another thread count, are higher quality material. I think that's something they definitely did very well. (Plus u can buy Adidas and Nike at Walmart too) (I really dislike Champion, but they definitely played it smart, and they're a pretty cool company, I got a free reverse weave hoodie from them so I can't complain too much 😂 definitely a weird comeback.)
walter G just watch any rich TH-camr who buys shoes they all say the same thing. The expensive shoes are uncomfortable but they buy for the look and brand. But they prefer Nikes and shit. This is why off-white is such a big thing now because they get that exclusivity and comfort
@@jameelhoward1867 I don't know if I would say "very well"...they filed for bankruptcy last year and closed about 400 stores...maybe they're doing slightly better than they were this time last year but I wouldn't say they're doing very well...
I think this might be an experiment to actually open a high end store and just put a different label on shoes, people will buy it they think it’s the new “it” thing. It was really smart on Payless. I’ve seen shoes at payless that are really nice looking and well made others not so much, I just try to be discerning. Same goes with higher end stuff some are really poorly made and not worth it. My mom taught me from early on to look for stitching, if there was any glue showing, discoloration, feel of the materials even in the same price point, how to spot the “worth it” items in any price point. Basically how to be a smart shopper.
Delighted to see this. it's not about how much something costs, it's about whether or not it's your style, it fits, it's comfortable, it meets your needs. Period
Once I was wearing shoes from Payless, friends asked me about it , when I said from Payless they were totally shocked,, as I bought it from other planet
Good experiment. But it might have been a better idea to donate the shoes to a charity or the homeless instead of letting the rich folks keep the shoes
Just goes to show, fashion brands just cause it is expensive does not mean it uses super premium materials. They just sells it better. It cost no less than any other products which are cheaper. Unless it is hand made 1 by 1 and not from a factory, it is still given to a factory that charges the lowest price.
Its all mental! Its BEEN mental! SOME people mentally want to feel like buying expensive things makes them feel more “special” or that they have something “others” dont or cant afford! If u got it spend it! If it mentally makes u feel better and its not hurting anyone or yourself why not 🤷🏽♀️! Great job payless! This really was an eye opener
People just don't get it. Been working in retail for 2 and a half years and for the most part you pay for quality. Example For the brand Cole Haan. I noticed 3 variations. 1) made with high quality leather with nailed in sole made of leather. The stitching it well done and typically priced for over $120. 2) the same identical shoe but made with cheaper leather with a glued rubber sole, it will still last a while tho and usually are priced at $50 - $90 3) the cheap shit ross and marshalls sell. Feels horrible to the touch and seems like it will fall apart if worn to much.
it depends on what you are buying, if you are buying a Gucci suit its quality fabric and impeccable tailoring. If you are buying their "luxury" shit that says "Gucci" all over it, then its crap, and they know people will buy it to show off.
Bruh it’s brain washing advertisement. How can you not smell and feel the cheap materials... people can’t be that stupid. Or they are THAT materialistic ? Either way wow.
It seems as though these people have never known cheap materials or smelled them. They paid more attention to the glam scenery around them. They didn't know cheap when they saw it or smelled it... probably thought it was some new odor. Although I think some Payless shoes are fine but NOT for grueling long term wear for years an years.
Dennis Tan Its not inexpensive anymore I would not recommended it . I went inside the other day looking for a boots and ended up buying it in Nordstrom rack because it was cheeper and better qulity.
Trends come and go, style is timeless. It's safe to say that the majority of our social media influenced society tries to pass off trends as style, but in reality they're worthless posers with no style.
So they were ready to spend that amount of money on just two pairs of shoes. 🙄 please rich people there are children out there who need food, clothes, shoes etc this Christmas find find this children and help them.
That’s the issue of those people to solve. Not my problem. No one is entitled to wealth, you must earn it. Just like once you earn your wealth, no one is entitled to YOUR wealth
I bought pair of leather boots with quite solid price but still nothing too costly or expensive. The brand is an unheard local brand and it was an average shoe shop but nice and neat. The shopkeeper is a moderate, humble uncle in tshirt with no extra polish on his presentation but the information on shoes and materials he shared with us was massive. At the end of the day, I knew I was paying for quality in fact I was lucky for the price I got on the shoes since the discount for purchasing it with another pair. I never go on branded stores except for SALE, in which I pick my material, design and practicality, as well as make it clear beforehand to store assistants what is my budget range. The assistants, on the other hand, need to present professionalism and good customer service, as doesn't matter a high-end store, I won't spend a second longer, rather would leave without any purchase whenever shop assistants dare to display arrogance to put prospect customers down only because they don't dress like a celebrity.
Further proof that richer does not mean smarter, in fact it is usually the other way around! In fact over my life time I have found that the richer they're the dumber they are, however in their pitiful mind they always think that they are smarter!! I got a nice laugh out of the comments some of this idiots were making regarding the quality of the shoes.
People go blind on expensive stuff Take me as an example: I never pay more than *50 $* for a shirt but when I visited Dubai mall G-star raw I purchased *2 shirt for about 600 $* I went blind too
Good point about the name. Maybe they should try marketing the look for the average shoe buyer. Not forthe over the top, I need another expensive pair of shoes today kind of shopper.
" They got a refund AND they got to keep the shoes"?? WTF! You know they don't want those shoes after hearing "payless", they'll probably end up throwing them out because they were tricked into looking foolish on camera. FUck that, you guys could have given those shoes to a homeless shelter or somewhere else that needed them. Not these greedy people.
They should not get their refunds instead donate the money for the charities. They can’t tell tell the cheap material from expensive. They just go there to pay for the name.
Rich people can afford expensive lawyers. The last thing you want is an angry rich person, they will take you to court and keep the case going until you're half a million dollars in debt from lawyer fees.
skeletonboi i meant to say , I don’t think they will keep on going that much.. where they spent half a mill on a worthless case. It’s Payless, they can use whatever price they want...
Why are you all laughing !! You do the same thing everyday when you by Jordans ,Nike etc. All of these shoes are made in the very same factory . .in CHINA. It cost a little more than $16 to make and you pay $200.. Lmao. The only thing your paying for is the Brand Name. JOKES ON YOU !!!!
@@usebitchutefightcensorship1982 Me too. I got my information from a Veteran K Mart associate. She said the majority of Brand name shoes are made in one in the same factory.
I have known several young women over the years who wanted to become fashion designers... I told them to start designing and save up money to cover rent in a small shop in a certain trendy area and charge a thousand bucks average for their designs... and get social... one took me seriously... I don’t know if she made anything happen for herself but it’s always cool to inspire an aha moment in someone like that
Girl WHATEVER!!!!!! What about the logos IN the shoes? These influencers have phones surgically attached to their hands,they couldnt look them up? Also if the quality was soooo amazing (which it's not)why sell for $20? Youre losing money on materials and labor...these ppl were paid
the point was u cant tell, do u think adidas $200 shoes are better quality than payless? they made in same china shops by kids these dummies just got fooled
@@Rhyme905 well adidas is a WELL KNOWN brand unlike palessi which was made up...if they were legit ppl not being paid they wouldve researched...you pay for the name with expensive shoes
But I bet they were specially made for this prank. Every one who has been to PayLess knows most of the shoes have visible glue seeping around the edges with foam bottoms. 😂 Couldn't have been THOSE same shoes lol
Unfortunately, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Fendi are still running the prank and still didn’t refund people.

Reminds me how Champion has made a comeback and charge same as Adidas or Nike lol
🤦🏻♂️
The coolest think about champion is that they do different tiers of quality though. They have a warehouse that makes the cheap stuff you'll see at Walmart, Kmart, or Rue 21. Then they have medium tiers, which you'll see at Zumiez, Champs, or Footlocker. And their 3rd tier is primarily sold on their website. All the fabrics are actually made of another thread count, are higher quality material. I think that's something they definitely did very well. (Plus u can buy Adidas and Nike at Walmart too)
(I really dislike Champion, but they definitely played it smart, and they're a pretty cool company, I got a free reverse weave hoodie from them so I can't complain too much 😂 definitely a weird comeback.)
Trendy is the last step before tacky -Karl Lagerfeld.
Agreed, but Karl uses trends as much as he sets them. 🌚
that made me think.. Its so damn true!
This is what really happens with pricey brands !
Same factories different logos !
I own Payless shoes and Louboutins. Honestly, they all feel the same.
Just like bicycles. They’re all made in a big factory in China.
walter G just watch any rich TH-camr who buys shoes they all say the same thing. The expensive shoes are uncomfortable but they buy for the look and brand. But they prefer Nikes and shit. This is why off-white is such a big thing now because they get that exclusivity and comfort
They should have just ran with it TBH. Shut down Payless and stick with premium prices or keep BOTH stores.. they could have had a big brand
Bahaha can you imagine 😅😱
This comment deserves way more likes...payless could've saved it's brand from bankruptcy...
@@mariamjacobs5333 Payless is doing very well
@@jameelhoward1867 I don't know if I would say "very well"...they filed for bankruptcy last year and closed about 400 stores...maybe they're doing slightly better than they were this time last year but I wouldn't say they're doing very well...
I think this might be an experiment to actually open a high end store and just put a different label on shoes, people will buy it they think it’s the new “it” thing.
It was really smart on Payless. I’ve seen shoes at payless that are really nice looking and well made others not so much, I just try to be discerning. Same goes with higher end stuff some are really poorly made and not worth it.
My mom taught me from early on to look for stitching, if there was any glue showing, discoloration, feel of the materials even in the same price point, how to spot the “worth it” items in any price point. Basically how to be a smart shopper.
its been 5 years and i still think about this
Delighted to see this. it's not about how much something costs, it's about whether or not it's your style, it fits, it's comfortable, it meets your needs. Period
I wouldnt have refunded there money, that's what those Rich Fasion snobs get.
Once I was wearing shoes from Payless, friends asked me about it , when I said from Payless they were totally shocked,, as I bought it from other planet
Good experiment. But it might have been a better idea to donate the shoes to a charity or the homeless instead of letting the rich folks keep the shoes
Manjeet K I feel like they had to do that in order to stop these “rich folks” from suing them
The homeless deserve better
It's so funny when they start talking about how luxurious and high quality they look 😂 basically jus go based off of the name.
JC Harris lol I know. I basically laughed at the fashionistas. Goes to show that they are only about the brand name.
Just goes to show, fashion brands just cause it is expensive does not mean it uses super premium materials. They just sells it better. It cost no less than any other products which are cheaper. Unless it is hand made 1 by 1 and not from a factory, it is still given to a factory that charges the lowest price.
Payless absolutely smashing people's credibility on national television.
The brand was founded by "Nancy Palessi."

Underrated comment 🤤😆😆
Its all mental! Its BEEN mental! SOME people mentally want to feel like buying expensive things makes them feel more “special” or that they have something “others” dont or cant afford! If u got it spend it! If it mentally makes u feel better and its not hurting anyone or yourself why not 🤷🏽♀️! Great job payless! This really was an eye opener
Name-brand snobs are sheep.
Which brand of phone did you use to type this?
+Dennis Xu Samsung shoe
People just don't get it. Been working in retail for 2 and a half years and for the most part you pay for quality. Example
For the brand Cole Haan. I noticed 3 variations.
1) made with high quality leather with nailed in sole made of leather. The stitching it well done and typically priced for over $120.
2) the same identical shoe but made with cheaper leather with a glued rubber sole, it will still last a while tho and usually are priced at $50 - $90
3) the cheap shit ross and marshalls sell. Feels horrible to the touch and seems like it will fall apart if worn to much.
it depends on what you are buying, if you are buying a Gucci suit its quality fabric and impeccable tailoring. If you are buying their "luxury" shit that says "Gucci" all over it, then its crap, and they know people will buy it to show off.
To be fair, social media influencers aren't really known for their high level of intelligence.
They were pissed 😂😂😂😂
Bruh it’s brain washing advertisement.
How can you not smell and feel the cheap materials...
people can’t be that stupid. Or they are THAT materialistic ?
Either way wow.
It seems as though these people have never known cheap materials or smelled them. They paid more attention to the glam scenery around them. They didn't know cheap when they saw it or smelled it... probably thought it was some new odor. Although I think some Payless shoes are fine but NOT for grueling long term wear for years an years.
I’ve had a pair of black lace up ankle boots from Payless going on 5 years now that I wear every fall nearly everyday and they’re still going strong.
Jessica Sim The materials aren’t even cheap, I used to go there all the time and still have shoes that look brand new lmao
Because the materials that make cheap shoes are the same ones that make the expensive ones
I buy my stuff at Ross. They have brands for cheap. I do outlet stores when I see them but Ross is my go to. I always find a great pair of shoes.
Yes same here
@Vapornotsmoke cause of all the money u save by shopping at ross lol jk
Vapornotsmoke congrats man
Thos reply section gave me the biggest deja vu, right after I read vapors comment i immediately remembered there was going to be a joke about it
That's it I'm going to start shopping at Payless now!
Dennis Tan Its not inexpensive anymore I would not recommended it .
I went inside the other day looking for a boots and ended up buying it in Nordstrom rack because it was cheeper and better qulity.
If you don’t think those “influencers” and social media “icons” were paid to do this, then I got a bridge to sell you.
"Sophisticated"
"High quality material"
Yeah for sure dude.
Trends come and go, style is timeless. It's safe to say that the majority of our social media influenced society tries to pass off trends as style, but in reality they're worthless posers with no style.
So they were ready to spend that amount of money on just two pairs of shoes. 🙄 please rich people there are children out there who need food, clothes, shoes etc this Christmas find find this children and help them.
Poor people shouldn't breed
That’s the issue of those people to solve. Not my problem. No one is entitled to wealth, you must earn it. Just like once you earn your wealth, no one is entitled to YOUR wealth
like the children in america you mean?
They did surgery on grape
Spill that Tae shister wheres this video?
@@spooky2125 you tube it. Everybody talking about it
Payless going out of business as prank?
I bought pair of leather boots with quite solid price but still nothing too costly or expensive. The brand is an unheard local brand and it was an average shoe shop but nice and neat. The shopkeeper is a moderate, humble uncle in tshirt with no extra polish on his presentation but the information on shoes and materials he shared with us was massive. At the end of the day, I knew I was paying for quality in fact I was lucky for the price I got on the shoes since the discount for purchasing it with another pair. I never go on branded stores except for SALE, in which I pick my material, design and practicality, as well as make it clear beforehand to store assistants what is my budget range. The assistants, on the other hand, need to present professionalism and good customer service, as doesn't matter a high-end store, I won't spend a second longer, rather would leave without any purchase whenever shop assistants dare to display arrogance to put prospect customers down only because they don't dress like a celebrity.
Basically stuck up people with lots of money to spend just got free shoes...WTF 🍵
Further proof that richer does not mean smarter, in fact it is usually the other way around! In fact over my life time I have found that the richer they're the dumber they are, however in their pitiful mind they always think that they are smarter!! I got a nice laugh out of the comments some of this idiots were making regarding the quality of the shoes.
But how those dum ppl making money that can afford to throw awsy and smart one have to save for a while to pay for a holiday?
Pesi, we know what category you fall in by your grammar.
All the Payless around me are closing down Lol
People go blind on expensive stuff
Take me as an example: I never pay more than *50 $* for a shirt but when I visited Dubai mall G-star raw I purchased *2 shirt for about 600 $* I went blind too
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at humanity
To be honest that's a nice new name change and it be cool if they change their store to that look
Good point about the name. Maybe they should try marketing the look for the average shoe buyer. Not forthe over the top, I need another expensive pair of shoes today kind of shopper.
Ayyy wtf the commercial is playing on my tv right now
Guy: I can tell this is very high quality
Me: *coughs* wheeze
" They got a refund AND they got to keep the shoes"?? WTF! You know they don't want those shoes after hearing "payless", they'll probably end up throwing them out because they were tricked into looking foolish on camera. FUck that, you guys could have given those shoes to a homeless shelter or somewhere else that needed them. Not these greedy people.
And yet news is out they are closing a bunch of stores
As if expensive products are actualy expensive.
All of them failed me. 🤦🤦
They should not get their refunds instead donate the money for the charities. They can’t tell tell the cheap material from expensive. They just go there to pay for the name.
Umm...hey can you call apple here??? YES RIGHT NOW
What they paid but they gotta a refund?? That mean they got the shoes for free ... Wow Payless you're giving rich people free stuff SMH
Rich people can afford expensive lawyers. The last thing you want is an angry rich person, they will take you to court and keep the case going until you're half a million dollars in debt from lawyer fees.
skeletonboi I don’t they will keep ok going that much... specially with a company..
@@imas3ngoi I don't mean to offend you, but I have no idea what your comment says.
Is English your second language?
No it’s because they don’t want to get sued. It’s easier this way
skeletonboi i meant to say , I don’t think they will keep on going that much.. where they spent half a mill on a worthless case. It’s Payless, they can use whatever price they want...
Why are you all laughing !! You do the same thing everyday when you by Jordans ,Nike etc. All of these shoes are made in the very same factory . .in CHINA. It cost a little more than $16 to make and you pay $200.. Lmao.
The only thing your paying for is the Brand Name.
JOKES ON YOU !!!!
I get to laugh because I actually buy payless shoes. I don't own a pair of Nike's.
@@usebitchutefightcensorship1982 Me too. I got my information from a Veteran
K Mart associate. She said the majority of Brand name shoes are made in one in the same factory.
I usually find brand new shoes at Goodwill for $8 lol
@@timbeinborn3328 Google it !!!

I wear Sketcher nd dont care what you think about me!
alphaphotoandvideo sketchers are gay , but I respect you wear what you like and don’t care about anyone’s opinion
@PleaseClap 1 why no shade , just asking?
Yeah I like Skechers.. I always thought they were a respectable well liked brand?
Thats a well accepted brand in my country
I have known several young women over the years who wanted to become fashion designers... I told them to start designing and save up money to cover rent in a small shop in a certain trendy area and charge a thousand bucks average for their designs... and get social... one took me seriously... I don’t know if she made anything happen for herself but it’s always cool to inspire an aha moment in someone like that
LOL. What the fuck.IM LITTERLY FUCKING DIEING😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They should’ve kept the money or closed the next day
Now they're bankrupt lol.
When rich kids get pranked
Hahahahhhahahahahhah
This is amazing. They probably bought tickets to Fyre Festival in 2017 too.
Milk: $5
Crëmé de la titte: $500
Girl WHATEVER!!!!!! What about the logos IN the shoes? These influencers have phones surgically attached to their hands,they couldnt look them up? Also if the quality was soooo amazing (which it's not)why sell for $20? Youre losing money on materials and labor...these ppl were paid
the point was u cant tell, do u think adidas $200 shoes are better quality than payless? they made in same china shops by kids these dummies just got fooled
@@Rhyme905 well adidas is a WELL KNOWN brand unlike palessi which was made up...if they were legit ppl not being paid they wouldve researched...you pay for the name with expensive shoes
@@Rhyme905 and that's great that you have a fetish and a sex life but the point is that these ppl are paid
The shoes had _Palessi_ logos inside.
I guess those Instagram poseurs thought they were getting in first on the next big name.
@@massimookissed1023 yeah but it was an unknown brand
Avg yeezy production cost is 75 dollars
That seems high
*What’s next... $1000 Flea Markets?*
Lol
Payless should have kept the money it was a fair transaction.
Payless is way underrated. They have good quality for decent prices. Cool prank!
But I bet they were specially made for this prank. Every one who has been to PayLess knows most of the shoes have visible glue seeping around the edges with foam bottoms. 😂
Couldn't have been THOSE same shoes lol
yeah...if not made for at least picked the best of the bunch
ACCURATE
I was thinking the same thing!! Lol
