I saw these pics floating around a while ago and thought they were kind of interesting…a *fake* shoe advertising that it’s fake. Has that really be done before? I know Gucci did that ‘fake Gucci’ thing, but this is kinda different, right? Kinda cool idea, I guess, except, I’d just expect the composition and the craftsmanship was bound to be shit, right? Probably fake suede, that super foamy mesh, shitty shape, probably a flat sole. Cute in a @mschf kinda way. But for $295? Um…maybe not that cute.
Someone hit me in the DMs and told me that dude sold out immediately. And…I guess…being the fact that it’s @liljupiterr …that’s not that wild of a claim. But…do we have any *real* idea of how many were actually available? If these were a pre-order, can’t you just say that however many sold is exactly however many sold and no matter what that number is, it’s a ‘sell-out’? The basis for the ‘sell-out’ claim simply does not exist, and everyone kinda relies on them to determine whether or not something is a hit or a brick. And that’s kinda cheating, right? To not tell you how many exist. To not tell you how many sold. To not tell you…anything…except…’they sold out’?
Furthermore, the dude who hit me in the DMs also told me that it was highly likely that these shoes would likely never ship and if that’s the case…I am jealous of the business model 😂 . What in the hell is going on?
