It's just the price paid by the poors of the riches to differentiate themselves from the general poors, nothing related to materials or craftsmanship was invested in this pair

This makes me wonder how decent the quality of Chinese replicas would be.

A few videos on replica Yeezy, Jordan, and Balenciaga would be cool. I want to see the foam, rubber, and knit qualities from some of the high quality Chinese fakes.

Love the content. 💯

Hey Weston appreciate you cutting these things apart to show the true quality of these designer brands that most working people can’t afford, nice knowing I’m not missing out on anything

[razztastic]

cutting up balenciagas is the greatest service anybody could do to the sneaker and fashion world

Destroying Balenciaga shoes before it was a thing.

"and you can't tell if it is from the thrift store or if it is Balenciaga" - I tore my belly while laughing on this line))))

[urbanlumberjack]

This video was hilarious. I live in Atlanta and find it hilarious that so many people drop thousands on these products and the products are just a money grab preying on people who think a high price means high quality.

Keep doing what you’re doing, these videos help consumers immensely.

Knew they were overpriced crap but very interesting to see your breakdown of the sole and midsole.

[Healthy_Stuff]

Yep, I've had other expensive tennis shoes that did not have much foam or padding on the inside of the shoe. I simply went and got a Dr Scholl's insert and that made it cushioning and comfortable. Than I was back to living my life, happy as a clam.

[Izrealk]

If these were at Walmart then no one would even look at them, but since they have that “Balenciaga” logo, people would pay $1k for them 😂

[kevinyuen]

The tear resistance variables could be due to balenciaga threads being double ply vs single ply or higher gsm for density. Also if it was blended with cotton there are short staple cotton (1mm) and extra long staplr cotton (2mm) with ELS being more durable

[samshepherd]

It's actually a cool looking shoe, I'd be a buyer at about $30

[marcberm]

Visible moving toe outlines are like something out of Alien ready to burst out lol.

[mikepd]

oh my gosh, his sarcasm is amazing. I've been enjoying all of his videos but his comedy is getting me to subscribe!

[betulaobscura]

Your shoe reviews are like action movies: always pleasure and fun to watch, even if some of these shoes are totally rubbish. Cheers!

[tabington]

You need to do a full luxury sneaker series! Rick Owens, Golden Goose, Louboutin, etc (Get the Farfetch sponsorship to afford it)

[Svenzr]

I can imagine a sock-like shoe similar to this being an alternative to those socks with the the grippy dots on the sole but not as something to wear outside the house and sure as shit not for that price.

[dimplesd]

Mr. Balenciaga is spinning in his grave. He was a master craftsman and now that label goes from “meme to meme” product for ridiculous amounts of money.

[thatchannel]

As someone with a pair of these, they’re actually really comfortable. The foam soles are no memory foam.

[gatriemacleinn]

These things make Crocs look timeless and classic
