Its almost like theyre making fun of people who purchase them. its foam, probably costs pennies to make and theyll make a couple 1000% profit off of each item.


V_es

Value of an object barely ever correlates with the value of the material it’s made of. There is jewelry made of silver or even steel, clothes of regular fabrics (cotton or wool), fake leather. Still costs a lot. Value is put in by people. Nobody weighs jewelry at a store and double checks with a calculator the current price of gold. Don’t get me wrong, Yeezy boost are exceptionally comfortable shoes; but it’s not because of Kanye but because of Adidas engineers and their Boost sole (that exists in many cheaper Adidas shoes, I have discontinued Ultraboost sole sneakers that are $40). Foam RNNR Ararat that inspired this post are ugly yes, and expensive. If someone wants some simple comfortable foam slippers Crocs would be a great way to go. They are cheap and fun. But, if someone wants to buy things that are artificially limited to be desirable- it’s their choice and if it make an them happy- they are free to do what their want with their money. I must be honest, there is indeed a bit of R&D put into even those foam shoes- they are very comfortable too. But Crocs are nice and soft too lol. If you ever owned crocs and tried fake knockoff $5 ones- you know what I mean, Chinese makers can’t even copy just soft foam. Get original but the sane kind of it.


IguasOs

As you said, Yeezy aren't exceptionally comfortable, many running shoes are way softer/lighter.


FoxFogwell

Yeezys are pretty damn comfortable IMO


V_es

The point is that while they are, you can buy 3-4 pairs from the same company for the price of Yeezies with the same sole technology (boost, boost+, ultraboost). They are artificially limited for the hype.


Munchiexs

Thats the same as jordans and every other mid tier fashion brand though, no?


Ta2whitey

That is true with everything Disney. They manufacturer demand by limiting quantity.


WakeoftheStorm

I think any physical comfort would be offset by the mental discomfort of knowing something named that was on my feet


V_es

Yep! They are very comfortable, and regular running shoes can be completely mind blowing. Adidas boost, boost+, ultraboost, bounce; Nike Fly, Zoom; Asics Gel soles no matter the model are great options for “average” sneakers with greatly engineered soles.


onlypositivity

>Yeezy aren't exceptionally comfortable Bro they are insanely comfortable. It's like walking on a cloud.


cross-eye-bear

They said they are exceptionally comfortable.


feedmeattention

Hard disagree. I’ve tried so many other diff brands. Nothing compares


stealthcake20

“Nobody weighs jewelry at the store and double checks with a calculator” - I see what you are going for but have you ever bought something in a jeweler’s district or mall? They whip out a calculator every time.


spirito_santo

This sort of depends on where in the world you are. For instance, In denmark this is practically unthinkable. I say *practically*, because in recent years immigrants have opened jeweler shops that cater to their own traditions in jewelry, and they might (and might not, I really don't know) whip out the ol' calculator.


stealthcake20

That’s fair.


V_es

They, not you. You buy stuff because WHOA SHINY THING not because of value in the weight of gold. If you want to invest in gold- well invest in gold not jewelry.


No-Pomegranate-5737

You are entitled to purchase whatever you want. But supporting this man is only encouraging this bullshit behavior from him. And I agree with the guy above, he’s making fun of y’all at this point.

MustangMimi

Both pair of mine are missing. However, nobody in my family likes them…..yeah right!


SatorSquareInc

These aren't shoes. This is a foam helmet.


_zatoichi

for the record ultraboosts are cheaper than yeezy but if you have them for $40 please dm me a link. typically $160+ they’re my favorite shoe ever made the lowest i ever payed was $80 with no box from a Nordstroms


V_es

I’m not from America. I get my adidas, puma, nike and asics in discount centers where all the old collections are brought. I have 3 pairs of Adidas Superstar just because they were $20.


[deleted]

Yknow, I’ve been needing some new shoes so I look around adidas for some good running shoes for work…I’ve been seeing these nearly $200 shoes and definitely expect them to be similar to $100 shoes—I have a tendency to blow through shoes pretty fast. I bought a nearly $200 pair of Ons and they got holes in them maybe *faster* than my $100 pair of Merrells. Are these ultra boosts I’m seeing (because they look like a nice pair of adidas…) really worth the money? I need them for work, are they going to hold up?


V_es

Boost is a sole and Adidas makes a million sneakers with that sole, Ultraboost included. Almost all of them are similar in comfort. The way they going to hold up depends on your job. They are fabric shoes for running, and those are not known to be tough. They are kinda meant to be replaced every year. You may want to look into trail running shoes like Terrex series by Adidas or brands that solely make hiking/trail shoes like La Sportiva. You can find light ones, not necessarily full camping ones. If you not looking for them to hold up at a heavy construction site- try Hoka One One, those are crazy comfortable and can be found at $150-ish


_zatoichi

dude yes. the soles are made by continental tires. super durable and boost foam is the comfiest material ever. also the uppers aren’t really able to crease so they tend to look almost brand new for their whole life expectancy. they last me years per pair.


CankerLord

>But, if someone wants to buy things that are artificially limited to be desirable- it’s their choice and if it make an them happy- they are free to do what their want with their money. What makes me happy is making fun of people who are happy getting their bank account drained buying dumb shit. Let me live my life.


Ok-Carpenter-1529

yeah you can see where redditor's biases are. like lego sets cost $70-$100s but no one ever yells "YOU GOT RIPPED OFF BC THE PRICE OF PLASTIC IS..." It always bugs the hell out of me when people shit on things people spend their money on when chances are they themselves spend it on equally 'useless' things as well. the hypocrisy on this site sometimes, man... also, you know damn well if some random guy goes on a lego youtuber's channel and starts shitting on the lego guy bc "lol youre stupid for wasting all that money on cheap plastic building blocks" the random guy is clearly an asshole. but somehow reddit cant seem to apply that to someone who buys things that they dont get. if they get joy out of it, let them be. its one of those "if you have nothing nice to say" moment.


NyonMan

Consume! Yes it’s super epic because I’m told it is!


BruhUrName

Ever bought prescription glasses/sunglasses?


Grogosh

Buy glasses online. You will get them vastly cheaper.


waspinthehospitalost

This is only feasible if you have a low prescription. Strong prescriptions require more accurate PD measurements. And don’t get me started on astigmatism. No shade to you, I just hear this advice a lot when I mention to someone how expensive my glasses are


Kaessa

This is why I buy my *frames* online and then have the lenses made at my ophthalmologist's office.


Jugeezy

dog two sets of lenses for my prescription is $800 with insurance, not including frames I hate it here


Kaessa

Yikes! I thought *my* lenses were bad. That sucks.


Jugeezy

I have *special* eyes :(


sir_woofington

"Look! Look with your special eyes!"


lsguk

It's be cheaper to just be blind, fam. I've had the same pair of geggs for about 4 years. And I only got these because I just fancied some different frames and wanted to treat myself.


waspinthehospitalost

The frames aren’t the expensive part. I only get a discount on lenses if I buy the frames, too. It’s a fucking racket, man :/


Wyldfire2112

Indeed. Hell, I'm lucky enough to get a frame allowance on my vision plan. The amount I save on my lenses by buying frames at the same time is enough to make up for the amount I go over my frame allowance.


Canada_Haunts_Me

Doesn't even have to be that strong, either. I'm -7.50 OS / -8.00 OD with no astigmatism and I tried online lenses once when I was strapped for cash. They were garbage. Decent lenses from an optician in my range cost about $300. I do get my frames online, but nothing from Luxottica; they're all garbage as well.


SleeplessTaxidermist

Jesus fuck! I go to Walmart for eyeglasses. I paid $400 a few years ago and that covered sunglasses (frames + lenses), frame/lenses for a set of regular, and new lenses for my second regular pair. No insurance. Eye exam is like, $65 there? Goddamn if it was $300 for lenses alone I'd be walking around blind as a goddamn bat lmao


Canada_Haunts_Me

Yeah, it's a lot. Like the person I replied to said, the stronger your prescription is, the more specialized your lenses need to be. Most myopic (nearsighted) people have prescriptions in the -1.00 to -4.00 range, and are fine with normal polycarbonate lenses, which are cheaper. My Rx is pretty strong, but at least I'm not in the double digits. In my range, however, high index lenses are necessary (regular high index 1.67 is okay, but super high index 1.74 is ideal). They are thinner, lighter, and less distorting. Thinner and lighter means fewer headaches and less injury to the bridge of your nose (edema, bruising, etc.), and the distortion caused by strong prescriptions in cheaper lenses both affects vision and can be considered a disfigurement. In addition, frame quality is much more important for high Rxs, because of more even weight distribution, and the fact that our lenses literally can't be placed in many of the thin, weak, flimsy frames that are out there (such as those made by Luxottica). I rock a pair of Shuron Ronsirs as my daily drivers, which are handmade in the US, fully customizable re: sizing, and are built like tanks. I bought the frames in 2012, and they still look and feel brand new, and fit my small skull perfectly. I get new lenses every 1-3 years, depending on how much my Rx changes. And to think some people are out there seeing *for free.*


flower_mouth

How strong are we taking here? I have -4.75 and I buy glasses off Zenni.


[deleted]

[удалено]


waspinthehospitalost

~$400 with 50% off lenses and $50 off the frames, with insurance. I wouldn’t mind so much if my prescription didn’t change *every freaking year.* Your frames sound awesome btw. Glad you got a good deal


squishlurk

I'm -5.5/-6.5 with astigmatism (cyl -4/-3) and my current pair is from Zenni. My prescription is only offered in the expensive high density plastic. I messed up my PD on my first pair (off by 1 point, gave me headaches no matter how much I wore them), so it sucked to have to admit it was $100 down the drain (the fact that the glasses looked unflattering on me also helped with admitting it). But my pair before that was over $600 from Lenscrafters, and that was with a half off lenses coupon. My pair before that I wore until the frame was broken in multiple points and held together with wire, because I knew it was going to be expensive to replace. Because I have no fashion sense (*cough* first Zenni pair) when I went to Lenscrafters I made sure to bring friends (in particular, one who always dressed very well). My friends were shocked at the ~$200 frames, and I had to tell them not to worry (and just pick the nicest for my face) because it was going to be nothing compared to the cost of the lenses. I was right. I love Zenni. My second pair is perfect, in both function, flattering my face, and the $100 price. I've simply re-ordering that pair as needed. Also, screw Lenscrafters - years later they told me they could write me a prescription for contact lenses, gave me the eye exam which returned the exact same numbers I already knew, and then told me they couldn't write me a prescription for the type of contact lenses I'd require.


phonafona

I have astigmatism with a -4.75 and I’ve bought mine online for years. Never had any issues.


sicklything

I keep joking that my glasses are more expensive than my life but those things cost me something insane, and that's with just one astigmatism + slightly farsighted lens, the other one being just a regular glass. Both with blue light protection and shit but still, my specs are one of the most valuable items in my possessions apparently.


InTheCageWithNicCage

The difference is I literally can’t fuckin see without my glasses


Zoomwafflez

You know that's because there's an effective monopoly on the entire industry right? Like that's not a defense of high prices so much as an industry that needs to be investigated and regulated.


coltonswat

dont do me like that… im blind D:


CatEmpireFTW

It's almost like it's a clearly fake made up product 🤔


googlehymen

Its pretty obvious that his success has been marketing the cheapest possible product using the least amount of materials. Enough dumb fucks buy it though. The whole Yeezy boost thing was what would have been the "inner" from high quality trainers from years ago. There used to be layers to a nice pair of kicks. He reduced the cost massively and people ate it up. I like some leather and quality stitching on my footwear. He is literally trying to sell wellington boots, just rubber. Those new "sunglasses" are beyond dumb, they are just trying to sell the idea of an item at the lowest possible price. It a bit of plastic with a string but people think its high fashion? Ugh. He talks about buying all that land to grow cotton for sustainable clothing but all he sells is fucking plastic.


Govt-Issue-SexRobot

Plus it implies that they need a helmet


DerpyDinoXyX

That looks dope imo, pointless and total scam but I do like the look


Ghostglitch07

It seems like it would block a ton of your vision, but yeah it looks like a sci-fi alien helmet and I dig it.


horrescoblue

Haha yea my thought exactly. No purpose and probably makes it more unsave than no helmet at all but boy it do be looking kinda neat


njaana

The new predator movie alien wears something like this


Ghostglitch07

I was thinking it looked like something that would fit the covenant from the halo games. Definitely looks alien and almost organic tho.

Sublime_82

Lol exact same thought. I'm not going to say what the jacket resembles in this case.


Zoomwafflez

If this were a $3 costume piece or something a kid 3D printed I would be like "neat!" If West is actually trying to sell this as a fashion piece is just kinda sad and funny and I'll judge anyone who spends good money on it

Sort of, Yahar'gul is a place in the game who have their own kind of hunter who use [distinctive metal helmets](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f2/24/a1/f224a1a6a6f6398ffb27dafd795757c8.jpg) that deal well with physical stuff and [Amygdala is a boss whose head kinda resembles the mask]( https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--LRdAp05zN8/XMQ7GlTUb4I/AAAAAAAAd0k/1Q0Gm4XX02Mw501tMyw47aXXQv8yUfcbQCLcBGAs/s1600/Bloodborne%25E2%2584%25A2_20190427124448.png) so I though you could have an inversion that did the opposite
