@@highlordfurer there is no reason to make good quality products if they can sell garbage at such high prices. Consumers are idiots, it's 100% their fault
This video should go viral, I have a younger brother in middle school in his Nike phase and the prices of $120-200+ I’m just like let’s get you something with better quality for around the same price. Yeah Gucci living up to the name of overpriced crap
I’m curious about the “red bottoms” from Christian Louboutin. I really want to know what kind of quality they are constructed with. Plus I want to know your review of comfort when testing them out.
I’m also keen! I have been requesting for a video on these for a long time 🥲☹️ I own a few pairs and the quality is great from my experience. Under the insoles they have wood and you can see the nails along the sides. The leather is thick but soft enough. The shoes are quite hard to break into but once you have they are bearable.
Let me say this. As a retail worker for high end luxury goods for a long time, the shoes are the worst when it comes to comfort. Designer shoes are all about aesthetics and comfort is dead last. If you want comfortable, get a pair of Hoka or Adidas Ultraboost. If you want flashy then go ahead and get your lux branded shoes. The shin splints, crows feet, corns, and blisters are just side dishes you never ordered. 😂
If you buying a pair of shoes from a clothing designer or a watch from a shoe designer, it's all aesthetics and branding you're paying for. Those Gucci sneaks would be considered "walking shoes" i guess.. but its just a few pieces of leather sew together. If you walk all over town every day in those they are going to begin to fall apart with the quickness. None of this should be surprising to anyone anyway
Isn't just overpriced Lux brands. Nike and the rest sell $200 sneakers that cost $12 to make. Back when Tiger Woods was the promoter for Nike it was reported he was paid more then all of the sweatshop workers making the stuff worldwide.
You mean companies make as much profit as the free market permits irrelevant of manufacturing costs? Lol Yes, Nike is also brutally overpriced if you do the broke thing of looking at cost, and you assume that the price should match. Nothing that sells is overpriced, prices are set by the customers who keep the products in demand. Something that sells out is, in fact, underpriced, and could likely go for more. This video isn't educational, it's just bait for brokeys to rage online over things they can't afford without understanding basic economics.
I bought a Nike football shoe like 10 years ago. The first shoe ever that smelled like dogshit the whole time. I never bought anything from Nike again. It's simple as that. Cheap plastic garbage shoes.
@@majesticjester1absolutely. I grew up with the brand, like coke, McDonald’s and legos. Nike has a nostalgia factor for me. Plus the air force ones are a decent value. It’s cheap leather but they’re durable, comfortable and classic. My two cents 👍🏼
I worked in fashion for over 10 years in NY. I always told people all polo shirts come out from the same factory. The price just determines what animal you inprint on it
Doesn't necessarily matter whether they all come from the same factory or not, the individual brand decides on the materials used and then the factory makes the product using said materials.
Materials differ though. We can condemn luxury brands all we want but Polo shirts are made with different quality fabric depending on the animal that will be put on the finished product
This is actual nonsense. A comment made by someone who has zero clue. Polos are very different per brand. A ralph, hugo boss, asket, lacoste, etc polo are all very easy to tell apart.
I took your advice a few years ago and bought a pair of Redwing Iron Rangers. I feel I owe you my subscription after that!! They were £285 in the UK (Now £350) and they are the best boots I have EVER owned. Before I buy footware, I always check your channel. Thanks very much.
I’m curious how Jerry Lorenzo’s vision of quality of Fear of God actually reflects on his sneakers From either the mainline Fear of God to his recent Fear of God x Adidas collab sneakers That would be nice to see
I got a pair of the LA Runners and I feel they are worth it. They're extremely comfortable. Looking to buy another pair, especially if they get released in black.
Thank you for doing this review. I used to own a Gucci tote bag and had some quality issues after four years of wear. I have never bought any Gucci sneakers. I wear mostly NIKE sneakers and own a pair of white leather ON The Roger tennis shoes that are my all time favorite. I wear them often and took them to Greece and Turkey and are so comfortable.
You look very comfortable. Also, I really enjoyed your old video guide to shopping in New York - it would be great if you continued the series elsewhere. For example, I'm in a suburb of London but I'm new to *amzclothes* shopping so I don't know where I'm going or what to buy in my city.
Before I couldn’t afford them is used to think the same. Always saying I get luxury but still firm on my fixed and limited ideas around the expected ‘build quality’ for the price. I had no idea on matters that are priceless.
Spring assisted knives are illegal in some states. Read up on local law. In Delaware, it is illegal to possess any spring-assisted or "automatic" knives such as button releases. Be careful and have fun 😊
Finally, this was the video I was waiting for!! Exposing these "luxury brands" for what they are, a scam. It's just sad that people are willing to buy these items to look the part while working a menial job. I hope you move onto other European luxury brands. Expose them all.
Yea that’s nuts 900$ I just snatched up a few pairs of high top Gucci Coda of RR for 188$ and 205 $ and they retail like 595 $ They were 9/10 condition probably worn a handful of times each . Gave em a quick wash new waxed laces and threw a coat of Saphir renovateur on and aside from a few light creases look brand new . Never pay retail for these extreme mark ups for the brands . The Codas definitely look more premium then these here as to the actual leather . Love the cut up videos
What is the funniest thing I remember is a group collected knock off products and the real deal products of high-end brands. One of them was a shoe don't exactly remember the brand, but they looked at the initial quality like color and any flaws. Then they put it through testing turned out the knock off was made better because the people making it thought it should be higher quality
I was bought these sneakers (in black) in 2018 as a gift. I’m not obsessed with designer clothes and would never have bought them myself, but I still wear them and they’re going strong compared to all my other Nike and lower brand footwear. They’re made of really strong, lambs leather and are extremely comfortable, unlike other brands (also bought for me as a gift) Balenciaga and Dior etc.
I work for one of these brands, a brand positioned right next to Gucci in the “luxury” top ten. Sometimes selling these items to people feels borderline unethical.
@@jool5941 you’d be surprised. We have clients that are millionaires and others that are very wealthy. They don’t get items for free unless they have spent a certain amount and we give them a gift but it’s never footwear or clothing. In fact spending more just means you have access to spend more, I.e the couture range which is extortionate. The people who get our clothing for free and A listers wearing bespoke or runway pieces at red carpet events or very where we know they’ll be seen publicly and they have to be approached by our marketing team. But trust me, if they just walk into a store they’re going to have to pay for what they want. We’d make no money otherwise. We have access to the full client data base so we can see who has purchased and who hasn’t.
i found a pair strewn on a shelf nonchalant at a thrift store. i dont know if they are real or fake but they are absolutely the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn in my life. so much toe room. so comfy. and they didn't have any insoles.
Not rich people, really. Rich people select for material, not brands. It's poor people going into debt to act rich that buy this stuff. Compare modern gucci to Mark Zuckerberg's $300 gray t-shirts, and the materials in that.
@@wonkydonkey7899 For poor people expensive fashion, yes. But always remember, it's the poor person who brags about price tags. So bragging about expensive clothes makes you look poor.
No real rich people (100M+) have private deals with brands that you probably haven't heard of. The luxury brand names you are thinking of are trying to target and exploit everyone whole isn't rich notably the middle class folks.
@@arunashamal look at real rich people and what they wear. The types who get rich by handling money well. The warren buffets, Barack Obamas, Steve Jobs, the mark Zucks, etc. They’re not the type to show off in the “price my fit” videos. The flashy thing they have is a watch (and even then, they’ll wear a Casio digital watch time to time), and that’s really it. It’s poor people and poor people who got money (the rappers and athletes who wind up in crazy debt spirals after million dollar contracts) who do buy flashy bullshit.
The problem is when luxury premium brands about 15 years were cheaper than today, the quality was actually much better on fashion brands. Today the prices are much higher and the quality of the materials has definitely gone down. You should do the same videos on Chanel, Hermès, and Louis vuitton.
Great video! Actually, if you're open to cutting apart $1k sneakers, I'd love to see you do that to the Jordan 1 "Wings: made in Italy" sneakers that came out in the last year or so. I know they were made with a leather lasting board, so I'm really curious if Jordan put together a shoe worth the $1k price tag from a quality perspective. Also might be fun to see you cut apart some sneakers from Dior or LV.
yesss! rose anvil is the perfect channel for this too! Def second this comment. cut apart the Made in italy jordan 1s!!! should be able to get from stockX. i think those would be a better experiment than cutting the dior or Lv collabs (but those would be a cool watch too)
Eh, Weston has showcased some Crown Northampton sneakers before made with Shell Cordovan that were close to $1k. I can understand that....hand made with super fine materials, etc. And honestly, if you want it bad enough and have the means I say go ahead...it's just too much for me personally to pay.
I actually was going to buy a pair of Gucci Ace for my birthday. Not these all leather but the kind with the canvas, with gold foil bees all over them. They looked so cool, and flashy luxury purchases are not about the quality, they're about the look and being showy, and going to the boutique and drinking champagne there and the whole *event* of the purchase. I like tack, shoot me. I went to the Gucci boutique to try them on, and I just couldn't do it. They were stiff and uncomfortable. I was willing to pay a ridiculous price, but I wasn't willing to be actually uncomfortable while doing it. Keds are my preferred sneaker brand.
My 2016 Gucci ace sneakers with bee embroideries lasted so long it’s still standing strong at 8th years of ownership! The embroideries doesn’t even falls apart and it’s the longest lasting sneakers I’ve ever had and at that time it’s just 695 usd, totally not a scam to me and I’ve wear it into places even jungle trekking! It just freaking last! Totally no regrets on the quality😊
_“It wrinkles immediately”_ me watching the Chinese kids in my college wear these shoes like slides, just absolutely crushing the back of them. Edit: if these shoes didn’t have Gucci on them, I’d assume they were Keds, or some off brand Walmart shoes.
I have a pair of Buscemi’s i’m selling with a leather base under the insole. Kind of looks like a leather insole under the insole. They looked wrecked when I got them. Cleaned them and they look brand new. Leather quality and rubber is premium. One of best i’ve seen from any brand
Depends on what kind of shoes. Of course, what's in the video is just fashionable trash that people buy to show others how cool they are, but if these are good handmade leather shoes, then these shoes will last 10+ years.
If you like the Kershaw Livewire, you really do owe it to yourself to check out a Microtech OTF. Particularly the signature series models. They really are the gold standard to which all other USA made production OTF’s are measured, and it’s that way for a reason..
I think you got that backwards. Luxury brands like Gucci and lv just sell garbage with their logo on it and charge hundreds or even thousands because they know idiots will buy it. At least actual fashion brands tend to make decent quality stuff that they actually have to put thought into designing
@@GoodSoup240 no fashion brands make quality . . . You pay for the design rather than materials and construction - or just a brand name these days. You’re the one that has it backwards. The fact that people call LV and Gucci “luxury” brands doesn’t mean they’re actually luxury.
Reactions to this post show how many people have overvalued these luxury items. This is exactly why wealthy people look broke and broke people try to look rich.
every time you do the heel cut I think to myself "Is today the day? Is he gonna slip and slice the back of his hand open?" lol. Makes me nervous every single time
How about dissecting an actual luxury sneaker like the Zegna Triple Stitch next ? They at least use deer leather or 1.x mm full grain calf skin on the Secondskin models Old enough to remember when these Gucci sneakers were 390 bucks, and that wasn't too long ago, it's just the price hikes over the last decade due to their repositioning that made a lot of these brands pretty bad price/quality ratios And to be fair, the reason why a pair of Gorals or Crown Northampton costs as much as they do is the same reason no one knows about either of the two brands - neither one has an actual marketing strategy (if they do, it is abysmally executed) and comms budget to get their name out and obtain actual brand recognition beyond the enthusiasts crowd
I purchased long time ago the old pair of this model in 2018 (the one with metalized python on the back) and after 6 years they still hold up quite nice even after wearing them daily. Quality of them seems better than the one showed up here even if they still look similar and have same build construction. Not to forget that price was much lower around 450€
Luxury brands aren't about quality. They're about being exclusive and trying to get attention. Some people thrive on imagining they're making people jealous.
"And that's when it starts to feel like a lot more scam to me than anything else...and are you dumb for buying a $900 pair of sneakers? To me you are"... But still turns around and promotes and shares the link to it 🤔😂
You do realize people can buy things with their own money simply because they like them? Projecting that people buy them to appear rich makes you come off like an envious brokie.
@@Owen-hg3cu I don't see how your logic works. Maybe you don't like my wording, I don't see how that relates to try hard. I'll stick to what I said, I find it quite accurate.
Since Ferragamo was originally a shoe house (unlike most of the other luxury houses) and Ferragamo himself made many innovations and held many patents on shoe technology- it would be interesting to see a new shoe cut open since the family sold the business.
Well, if somebody expected $900 quality, they are the fool! It sure wasn’t expected by me, luxury brands don’t equal quality. You pay for the brand and so what? If people find it waste of money or can’t afford it, don’t buy it. Try a Hérmes sneaker, leather company by history and doesn’t get much more expensive
They did. The new Aces are inferior to the ones I bought 5 years ago. I don't think he's taking that into account. He's just talking about the overpriced new model.
I wore my Gucci trainers all day the other week. They felt so flat a hard I purchased a leather inner sole from Saphire to help. I wasn’t surprised to see they are not better than adidas £90 gazelles. I won’t be buying anything but Crown Northampton after this.
Same thing with some "fashion watch brands". Slap on a logo and boom, a $100 aliexpress watch suddenly becomes worth $1000. Unfortunately for those brands, watch buyers are somewhat savvy.
People buying “luxury “ items today are just making the already rich board members even richer. They are not getting quality, but paying for a name. If you want quality products that will last just have a craftsman make it for you. My Italian grandparents always had our shoes made by a quality shoemaker. My mom was a Wonderful seamstress that made all our Beautiful Unique clothes up until her sight started to go. I even have knitted/crocheted one of a kind items that you don’t see coming and going. Just because you pay for a logo/symbol doesn’t make it a quality product.

They're leather. The red sole is leather, the inside is leather, the outside is patent leather too!! That's part of why you pay so much for them.
Let me say this. As a retail worker for high end luxury goods for a long time, the shoes are the worst when it comes to comfort. Designer shoes are all about aesthetics and comfort is dead last. If you want comfortable, get a pair of Hoka or Adidas Ultraboost. If you want flashy then go ahead and get your lux branded shoes. The shin splints, crows feet, corns, and blisters are just side dishes you never ordered. 😂
If you buying a pair of shoes from a clothing designer or a watch from a shoe designer, it's all aesthetics and branding you're paying for. Those Gucci sneaks would be considered "walking shoes" i guess.. but its just a few pieces of leather sew together. If you walk all over town every day in those they are going to begin to fall apart with the quickness. None of this should be surprising to anyone anyway
Hi, *topluxs* , I just wanna tell you that you make my day with your videos. you have srsly helped me through not so happy times!!! thank you.
Isn't just overpriced Lux brands. Nike and the rest sell $200 sneakers that cost $12 to make. Back when Tiger Woods was the promoter for Nike it was reported he was paid more then all of the sweatshop workers making the stuff worldwide.
You mean companies make as much profit as the free market permits irrelevant of manufacturing costs? Lol
Yes, Nike is also brutally overpriced if you do the broke thing of looking at cost, and you assume that the price should match.
Nothing that sells is overpriced, prices are set by the customers who keep the products in demand.
Something that sells out is, in fact, underpriced, and could likely go for more.
This video isn't educational, it's just bait for brokeys to rage online over things they can't afford without understanding basic economics.
I bought a Nike football shoe like 10 years ago. The first shoe ever that smelled like dogshit the whole time. I never bought anything from Nike again. It's simple as that. Cheap plastic garbage shoes.
People still buy Nike?
@@majesticjester1absolutely. I grew up with the brand, like coke, McDonald’s and legos. Nike has a nostalgia factor for me. Plus the air force ones are a decent value. It’s cheap leather but they’re durable, comfortable and classic. My two cents 👍🏼
OK, technically not overpriced if it sells. But. Still dumb buying it. Rich idiot warning logo.
I worked in fashion for over 10 years in NY. I always told people all polo shirts come out from the same factory. The price just determines what animal you inprint on it
Are you sure about it? Because I have 15 years old Tommy Hilfiger polo while some other high street brands have collapsed after a couple of years.
Ralph Lauren polos are much softer than other brand Polos. Can you explain?
Doesn't necessarily matter whether they all come from the same factory or not, the individual brand decides on the materials used and then the factory makes the product using said materials.
Materials differ though. We can condemn luxury brands all we want but Polo shirts are made with different quality fabric depending on the animal that will be put on the finished product
This is actual nonsense. A comment made by someone who has zero clue. Polos are very different per brand. A ralph, hugo boss, asket, lacoste, etc polo are all very easy to tell apart.
Gucci likes to overcharge for their perfumes and colognes too
Imagine the insane markup in perfumes overall, jfc
Its all oem
"perfumes and colognes" ???
@@karel4845 unless you get the tiny bottles, you're going to spend 100-150 on a Gucci fragrance, unless you shop from discounters.
And they aren't good either...
Gucci = Waste of money. Women that wear that stuff should be avoided at all costs.
That escalated quickly
Women like that are usually high maintainance streetwalkers...and their bfs pay that sh*t....go figure.
And men who wear this stuff?
People pay for a name and the right to wear that name, nothing more. Soon brands will sell forehead stickers for $399, and people will buy them ))
@@trumpeldorf lmao. Right to wear that name. That sounds really funny to be honest.
“Gucci gang” really got me 😂 0:57
I took your advice a few years ago and bought a pair of Redwing Iron Rangers. I feel I owe you my subscription after that!! They were £285 in the UK (Now £350) and they are the best boots I have EVER owned. Before I buy footware, I always check your channel. Thanks very much.
I’m curious how Jerry Lorenzo’s vision of quality of Fear of God actually reflects on his sneakers
From either the mainline Fear of God to his recent Fear of God x Adidas collab sneakers
That would be nice to see
I got a pair of the LA Runners and I feel they are worth it. They're extremely comfortable. Looking to buy another pair, especially if they get released in black.
Thank you for doing this review. I used to own a Gucci tote bag and had some quality issues after four years of wear. I have never bought any Gucci sneakers. I wear mostly NIKE sneakers and own a pair of white leather ON The Roger tennis shoes that are my all time favorite. I wear them often and took them to Greece and Turkey and are so comfortable.
People know, but they decide status is better than anything.
You look very comfortable. Also, I really enjoyed your old video guide to shopping in New York - it would be great if you continued the series elsewhere. For example, I'm in a suburb of London but I'm new to *amzclothes* shopping so I don't know where I'm going or what to buy in my city.
Please do Off Whites and LVs, honestly they look better in terms of quality.
Before I couldn’t afford them is used to think the same. Always saying I get luxury but still firm on my fixed and limited ideas around the expected ‘build quality’ for the price. I had no idea on matters that are priceless.
I have the Gucci snakes same shoe in video but with snakes on them on the sides. They’ve lasted me 4 years still look fresh.
Yeah, they don't realize that the Aces we bought are far more superior to the new models sold thesedays.
Love these videos thanks for exposing the real construction on all these shoes bro!
The pair of vans i bought 10 years ago are 50 times the shoe that these will ever be. Pathetic
Spring assisted knives are illegal in some states. Read up on local law. In Delaware, it is illegal to possess any spring-assisted or "automatic" knives such as button releases. Be careful and have fun 😊
Finally, this was the video I was waiting for!! Exposing these "luxury brands" for what they are, a scam. It's just sad that people are willing to buy these items to look the part while working a menial job. I hope you move onto other European luxury brands. Expose them all.
Yea that’s nuts 900$
I just snatched up a few pairs of high top Gucci Coda of RR for 188$ and 205 $ and they retail like 595 $
They were 9/10 condition probably worn a handful of times each . Gave em a quick wash new waxed laces and threw a coat of Saphir renovateur on and aside from a few light creases look brand new . Never pay retail for these extreme mark ups for the brands . The Codas definitely look more premium then these here as to the actual leather . Love the cut up videos
What is the funniest thing I remember is a group collected knock off products and the real deal products of high-end brands. One of them was a shoe don't exactly remember the brand, but they looked at the initial quality like color and any flaws. Then they put it through testing turned out the knock off was made better because the people making it thought it should be higher quality
I was bought these sneakers (in black) in 2018 as a gift. I’m not obsessed with designer clothes and would never have bought them myself, but I still wear them and they’re going strong compared to all my other Nike and lower brand footwear. They’re made of really strong, lambs leather and are extremely comfortable, unlike other brands (also bought for me as a gift) Balenciaga and Dior etc.
You get some pretty expensive "gifts"
I work for one of these brands, a brand positioned right next to Gucci in the “luxury” top ten. Sometimes selling these items to people feels borderline unethical.
Keep dreaming.
…about?
@@Gruffalo-w8iJust in general, whenever you sleep you should dream. He cares about your sleep hygiene. Its essential to healthy brain functionality
I bet most of your customers are poor too. Rich people get these things for free.
@@jool5941 you’d be surprised. We have clients that are millionaires and others that are very wealthy. They don’t get items for free unless they have spent a certain amount and we give them a gift but it’s never footwear or clothing. In fact spending more just means you have access to spend more, I.e the couture range which is extortionate. The people who get our clothing for free and A listers wearing bespoke or runway pieces at red carpet events or very where we know they’ll be seen publicly and they have to be approached by our marketing team. But trust me, if they just walk into a store they’re going to have to pay for what they want. We’d make no money otherwise. We have access to the full client data base so we can see who has purchased and who hasn’t.
i found a pair strewn on a shelf nonchalant at a thrift store. i dont know if they are real or fake but they are absolutely the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn in my life. so much toe room. so comfy. and they didn't have any insoles.
its no longer about paying more its about finding someone honest to buy off
That is exactly what "we" need.
Luxury Brand is a SCAM
Yes it is!
It depends on the brand most are, but some aren’t
@@AM562 some old italian houses are still worth it like brioni, kiton or zegna
Rich folks will splurge on the luxury brand names regardless of the quality of their shoes.
Not rich people, really. Rich people select for material, not brands. It's poor people going into debt to act rich that buy this stuff.
Compare modern gucci to Mark Zuckerberg's $300 gray t-shirts, and the materials in that.
@@Tang-qi6zw at the end of the day, it’s about bragging rights.
@@wonkydonkey7899 For poor people expensive fashion, yes. But always remember, it's the poor person who brags about price tags. So bragging about expensive clothes makes you look poor.
No real rich people (100M+) have private deals with brands that you probably haven't heard of. The luxury brand names you are thinking of are trying to target and exploit everyone whole isn't rich notably the middle class folks.
@@arunashamal look at real rich people and what they wear. The types who get rich by handling money well. The warren buffets, Barack Obamas, Steve Jobs, the mark Zucks, etc. They’re not the type to show off in the “price my fit” videos. The flashy thing they have is a watch (and even then, they’ll wear a Casio digital watch time to time), and that’s really it. It’s poor people and poor people who got money (the rappers and athletes who wind up in crazy debt spirals after million dollar contracts) who do buy flashy bullshit.
Love the Blade HQ crossover, and a sweet blade. That Ultemmmm....
what a scam! what makes this worse is that there are so many nit-wits who actually pay that amount of money for that crap!
The problem is when luxury premium brands about 15 years were cheaper than today, the quality was actually much better on fashion brands. Today the prices are much higher and the quality of the materials has definitely gone down. You should do the same videos on Chanel, Hermès, and Louis vuitton.
Great video! Actually, if you're open to cutting apart $1k sneakers, I'd love to see you do that to the Jordan 1 "Wings: made in Italy" sneakers that came out in the last year or so. I know they were made with a leather lasting board, so I'm really curious if Jordan put together a shoe worth the $1k price tag from a quality perspective. Also might be fun to see you cut apart some sneakers from Dior or LV.
yesss! rose anvil is the perfect channel for this too! Def second this comment. cut apart the Made in italy jordan 1s!!! should be able to get from stockX. i think those would be a better experiment than cutting the dior or Lv collabs (but those would be a cool watch too)
Nope. Not worth $1000. Don’t need to cut anything.
No sneaker is worth $1k
Eh, Weston has showcased some Crown Northampton sneakers before made with Shell Cordovan that were close to $1k. I can understand that....hand made with super fine materials, etc. And honestly, if you want it bad enough and have the means I say go ahead...it's just too much for me personally to pay.
No shoe is worth 1k
Its so sad because alot of ppl actually think they are paying for better quality vs something like a stan smith. Great job
Who thinks that?
I actually was going to buy a pair of Gucci Ace for my birthday. Not these all leather but the kind with the canvas, with gold foil bees all over them. They looked so cool, and flashy luxury purchases are not about the quality, they're about the look and being showy, and going to the boutique and drinking champagne there and the whole *event* of the purchase. I like tack, shoot me. I went to the Gucci boutique to try them on, and I just couldn't do it. They were stiff and uncomfortable. I was willing to pay a ridiculous price, but I wasn't willing to be actually uncomfortable while doing it. Keds are my preferred sneaker brand.
Yea I got them for a birthday present wore them and got blisters I always warn people never too buy gucci shoes
My 2016 Gucci ace sneakers with bee embroideries lasted so long it’s still standing strong at 8th years of ownership! The embroideries doesn’t even falls apart and it’s the longest lasting sneakers I’ve ever had and at that time it’s just 695 usd, totally not a scam to me and I’ve wear it into places even jungle trekking! It just freaking last! Totally no regrets on the quality😊
Keep capping 😂
_“It wrinkles immediately”_ me watching the Chinese kids in my college wear these shoes like slides, just absolutely crushing the back of them.
Edit: if these shoes didn’t have Gucci on them, I’d assume they were Keds, or some off brand Walmart shoes.
Highly likely it's fakes
@@terrakotik nah a lot of the kids at my school were either mainlanders or South Koreans who wore designer everything
again, fake.
I love your simplicity 😊😊😊
What’s crazy is I bought my Ace sneakers back in 2017 - they were only 550$ a pair back then. Inflation and markup is crazy since then. wtf 😳
I have a pair of Buscemi’s i’m selling with a leather base under the insole. Kind of looks like a leather insole under the insole. They looked wrecked when I got them. Cleaned them and they look brand new. Leather quality and rubber is premium. One of best i’ve seen from any brand
If you pay 900 bucks for shoes, you already scammed yourself.
Depends on what kind of shoes. Of course, what's in the video is just fashionable trash that people buy to show others how cool they are, but if these are good handmade leather shoes, then these shoes will last 10+ years.
there are other leather shoes called triple stitch and those seem to be worth every penny
Love your content but your dilivery is BRILLIENT Thankyou... Quolity is indeed hard to find..... Knowledge is key Thankyou
Rick Owens, PLEASE!!!
I really want to know if his sneakers/boots are worth it.
Thanks! :)
Lol of course not (materials wise)
They aren't. No discussion needed.
They aren't
Would still like to see it. Helps sober people (me) up. 😂
they’re most definitely not worth it, but would still love to see a video on the iconic geobaskets or ramones!
Thanks for not turning this video into a VPN commercial
It would be great to see this done with Zegna Triple Stitch sneakers!
If you like the Kershaw Livewire, you really do owe it to yourself to check out a Microtech OTF. Particularly the signature series models. They really are the gold standard to which all other USA made production OTF’s are measured, and it’s that way for a reason..
Luxury is about quality. Fashion is about the facade. Gucci is not a luxury brand it is a fashion brand.
You make no sense. Tell me a non luxury brand that sells sneakers for $900.
I think you got that backwards. Luxury brands like Gucci and lv just sell garbage with their logo on it and charge hundreds or even thousands because they know idiots will buy it. At least actual fashion brands tend to make decent quality stuff that they actually have to put thought into designing
@@GoodSoup240 no fashion brands make quality . . . You pay for the design rather than materials and construction - or just a brand name these days. You’re the one that has it backwards. The fact that people call LV and Gucci “luxury” brands doesn’t mean they’re actually luxury.
@@arunashamal what do you consider luxury? Or “fashion”
Reactions to this post show how many people have overvalued these luxury items.
This is exactly why wealthy people look broke and broke people try to look rich.
every time you do the heel cut I think to myself "Is today the day? Is he gonna slip and slice the back of his hand open?" lol. Makes me nervous every single time
Luxury brands make the ugliest shoes.
I wouldn’t call these ugly so much as they’re just plain and boring
@@Eirik_Bloodaxeu must have not seen Balenciaga’s sneakers yet😂

@@MrAvenger1975it’s like he’s trolling his fans but no one’s caught on and he keeps playing along. Weirdo 😂

This is why Gucci is collapsing...
How is Gucci collapsing?
Its honestly really sad what these designers brands have become. Literally doing the opposite of what they were founded on
How about dissecting an actual luxury sneaker like the Zegna Triple Stitch next ? They at least use deer leather or 1.x mm full grain calf skin on the Secondskin models
Old enough to remember when these Gucci sneakers were 390 bucks, and that wasn't too long ago, it's just the price hikes over the last decade due to their repositioning that made a lot of these brands pretty bad price/quality ratios
And to be fair, the reason why a pair of Gorals or Crown Northampton costs as much as they do is the same reason no one knows about either of the two brands - neither one has an actual marketing strategy (if they do, it is abysmally executed) and comms budget to get their name out and obtain actual brand recognition beyond the enthusiasts crowd
I'd like to get my hands on one of those they say they're smooth & comfortable I wish I could afford one pair
The ND4 looks so nice
I purchased long time ago the old pair of this model in 2018 (the one with metalized python on the back) and after 6 years they still hold up quite nice even after wearing them daily. Quality of them seems better than the one showed up here even if they still look similar and have same build construction. Not to forget that price was much lower around 450€
Those are the ones I own. The old model. It's fantastic.
Same here with a pair from 2018 that is holding up really well.
I enjoyed this video and learned a lot about different leather grades hopefully you can do one on Bally sneakers at some point.
Could you do this with the Gucci 1953 original loafers? That night be their top quality shoe
I hope one day a GAT review / comparison Cabell / Margiela / Skolyx / Aliexpress
Luxury brands aren't about quality. They're about being exclusive and trying to get attention.
Some people thrive on imagining they're making people jealous.
"And that's when it starts to feel like a lot more scam to me than anything else...and are you dumb for buying a $900 pair of sneakers? To me you are"... But still turns around and promotes and shares the link to it 🤔😂
Cut apart Bottega veneta sneakers, i used to work for them. Really great quality and craftsmanship.. .under stated

Money talks, but wealth whispers.... Something that some people who own these don't understand.

You do realize people can buy things with their own money simply because they like them?
Projecting that people buy them to appear rich makes you come off like an envious brokie.
@@user-iu1ru1qz7u using the phrase "brokie" makes you sound like a try hard
@@Owen-hg3cu I don't see how your logic works.
Maybe you don't like my wording, I don't see how that relates to try hard.
I'll stick to what I said, I find it quite accurate.
Since Ferragamo was originally a shoe house (unlike most of the other luxury houses) and Ferragamo himself made many innovations and held many patents on shoe technology- it would be interesting to see a new shoe cut open since the family sold the business.
Shoe = 100$ Gucci logo = 800$
I'm a firm believer in letting people waste their money on whatever they like.
I hope Gucci goes out of business.
Lanvin is the real luxury shoe. Made in Portugal. I adore them. Lanvin been around since the late 1800s.
Pretty unpopular nowadays though.
Well, if somebody expected $900 quality, they are the fool!
It sure wasn’t expected by me, luxury brands don’t equal quality. You pay for the brand and so what? If people find it waste of money or can’t afford it, don’t buy it.
Try a Hérmes sneaker, leather company by history and doesn’t get much more expensive
Would love to see the Gucci Horse bit loafer done!
If Gucci saw what had become of his brand today and who wears it, he’d be rolling in his grave.
You got the new Aces. If i recall they changed the leather on this new edition.
They did. The new Aces are inferior to the ones I bought 5 years ago. I don't think he's taking that into account. He's just talking about the overpriced new model.
I wore my Gucci trainers all day the other week. They felt so flat a hard I purchased a leather inner sole from Saphire to help. I wasn’t surprised to see they are not better than adidas £90 gazelles. I won’t be buying anything but Crown Northampton after this.
I have Goral and so far happy with them. Have seen not so good reviews about Crown
The editor needs a raise! What a great job!
Would love to see you do onitsuka tiger mexico 66 SD and NM be interesting to see if they are worth the price.
Same thing with some "fashion watch brands". Slap on a logo and boom, a $100 aliexpress watch suddenly becomes worth $1000. Unfortunately for those brands, watch buyers are somewhat savvy.
People buying “luxury “ items today are just making the already rich board members even richer. They are not getting quality, but paying for a name. If you want quality products that will last just have a craftsman make it for you. My Italian grandparents always had our shoes made by a quality shoemaker. My mom was a Wonderful seamstress that made all our Beautiful Unique clothes up until her sight started to go. I even have knitted/crocheted one of a kind items that you don’t see coming and going. Just because you pay for a logo/symbol doesn’t make it a quality product.
450 here in Italy ... or 550 depends on the styling and the art they have on them !
900 is mental haha
