Stuuupid people

I’ve just seen these advertised. These are Gucci trainers designed specifically to have the ‘used’ look already built in. Obviously made for label obsessed branded dickheads with too much money. 

I genuinely think the people who buy this stuff are plain stupid or infact have some sort of illness. Unbelievable.

Notice the cost.

I don't get that at all, but there is clearly a market!

See also "aged" or "relic" finish guitars. Just an example - Pay £6k for a brand new Strat that looks like an old sh4gged Strat.

I don't get it at all. But people clearly buy them so - why not?

[Kimbers]

People are idiots......wait a minute maybe I can sell my old trainers for the same? "Sketchers in Black or Blue, great for that worn look, also includes authentic smelly feet smell - £615"

[ramjet]

£615! Are they serious

[obione]

And there I was just about to buy you a pair for Valetines Day Ian.

I wont bother now

They were mentioned on BBC local radio this morning and I Googled out of interest. (Nothing more I promise lol)

BBC describes them as ‘Gucci now selling new dirty/muddy trainers for £615’ and asked if they were ’the’ new fashion statement to be seen in?

Well....Bollox (If you you would excuse my French)

If Gucci advertised a bag of cold sick, some idiot would buy it.

I wonder who will be the first clothing manufacturer to sell new fake-skidmarked underwear?

[Escape]

You're not looking for a sidejob to pre wear it, are you?

[ramjet]

Nah. Quite happy with my cheap underwear with real skidmarks.   

[Mark Blanchard]

And the “just trodden in dog shit” look.  

[yeller77]

Do they include the pre-worn odor too? (referencing the pre-worn sneakers, not the underwear or dog-trod ones. Though the question may still be asked... 🤔 )
