So, I was browsin’ the internet the other day, you know, just chillin’, and I kept bumpin’ into Louis Vuitton shoes. Their official website, all fancy and stuff, keep pushin’ their “designer shoes for men and women,” talkin’ about “various occasions and weather conditions.” Okay, LV, I get it, you make shoes. Big whoop.
But then I saw somethin’ ’bout their sneakers. The “LV Trainer” or the “Run Away” model? Sounds like somethin’ out of a cheesy action movie, honestly. But hey, I gotta admit, some of ’em look kinda cool. They talk about “luxury with cool, contemporary style.” I guess if you got the cash to burn, why not rock some overpriced sneakers? I mean, who am I to judge? I’m over here rockin’ my… well, never mind what *I’m* wearin’.
What *really* got me thinkin’ was how they’re made in Italy, in these fancy “ateliers.” Like, seriously, “atelier”? It’s a shoe, not a freakin’ Renaissance painting! But hey, gotta add that “luxury” factor, right? Makes you feel like you’re wearin’ a piece of art on your feet. Or maybe just a really expensive shoe.
Then there’s all this talk about “derbies” and “Oxfords” for “business or formal wear.” Ugh. Makes me wanna puke. I’m more of a “high-top trainer” kinda guy, myself. Though, I gotta say, even *I* wouldn’t mind rockin’ some fancy-schmancy LV loafers for a chill, casual kinda vibe. Y’know, if I *had* the skrilla.
And speaking of skrilla, the resale market for these things is *insane*. People are buyin’ and sellin’ LV shoes like they’re gold bars. That’s where the *real* money is, I think. Buy ’em, let ’em sit, then flip ’em for double the price. Genius! (If you can afford to buy ’em in the first place, that is.)
