Vestiaire Collective is talking about Track Sneakers, which, okay, yeah, those are a *look*. A very, very specific look. I’m not sure I can pull them off, but hey, more power to ya if you can. They definitely scream “I have money and a vaguely ironic sense of fashion.” Or, you know, you just like the way they look. Whatever floats your boat.
Then Netshoes is just straight up advertising, which, fine, get your hustle on, Netshoes. Free shipping and installments? Tempting, ngl. But are they real Balenciagas? That’s the question, isn’t it? I’ve seen some sus-looking Balenciagas floating around. “Kick Club: Best Replica/Reps Shoes” kinda makes me think some shady stuff is going on somewhere. Just sayin’.
And then there’s the whole “where are they made?” thing. StockX is selling Paris High Tops, which, honestly, I’m not a huge fan of. They look kinda…clunky? But hey, maybe I’m just not cool enough. The real question is, are we talking Italian craftsmanship here, or something a little more…mysterious? I bet it’s a mixed bag, tbh. Probably depends on the model.
And finally, Balenciaga themselves are pushing the “unique sneakers collection.” Triple S, Speed, Track… it’s a whole ecosystem of expensive footwear. Honestly, I’m both fascinated and slightly terrified. Like, who needs shoes that look THAT intense? And who’s actually BUYING them at full price?
