    When Balenciaga shoes were manufactured in Italy I could (ever so slightly) agree with the pricetag. They were the Ferrari of sneakers so to speak. But now they're mass produced in China, so IMO they should be priced in the same realm as Nike/Adidas/etc.

    • @danielkim6751
      @danielkim6751 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      i mean just cuz theyre from china doesnt mean theyre all the same. there are probably good chinese factories and ones that mass produce shit but putting them all in the same boat cuz theyre from china sounds a bit unfair...

    • @DebonaireGamer
      @DebonaireGamer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      @@danielkim6751 I am definitely not saying that they are all the same, because they're definitely not. I am just saying that the labor costs of producing these shoes in Chinese factories is MUCH lower than the costs of producing them in Italy. Therefore there's no longer a legitimate reason these Balenciaga sneakers should still be priced the way they are. Plus, I've read many accounts of a decrease in quality ever since the manufacturing got moved out of Italy.

      @@xKapatroNx That's incredibly lame how they artificially ballooned their prices. Maybe there would be more diversity in the sneakers that are on people's feat if brands like Balenciaga had more reasonable pricetags. Hell, even the Nike FOG's were $400 or less at retail.

    You made the point perfectly. I maintain that many of the less popular Jordan's (14 and up) would be high fashion sneakers if they weren't "Jordans". If the 18s came out of a fashion house and were called dix-huit , they'd be covered like Yeezys in prior years.
