WTF...$1275 for these ugly as hell Asics??!

[SAWYER]

So I was looking on ebay for some Asics or New Balance and come across this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Asics-Gel-L...1846453?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item2c8e0e0cb5


Seeing the price and how ugly I was like

Those are just shoes to me. I would run in them shits, wear them out in a few months and toss them.

 

[Mai72]

Maybe a prince or someone famous wore those shoes a long time ago.

 

[andylawcc]

$1300 auction and still post vertical picture.

IMO, no shoe is worth that much no matter who made them.


Now if they were worn by Henry the eighth and could be proven as such, still no.

Came in expecting silicon......... :hmm:

Must be a famous designer. Looking at the related auctions, there is a collection from the same designer going to $10k.

Sneakers are a new alternative investment vehicle. You can put 10K in Sneakers for your nestegg.

i too was wondering how an ASIC could be 'ugly' and why anyone would care in the first place

 

[master_shake_]

asics = application specific intergrated circuits.

those are shoes?

wth?!

I always thought that this:

was a stylized "b" in front of "asics", making them "Basics".

I guess not.

 

[Blackjack200]

"dasics"

Good, at least someone sees it my way. I bought a pair of 17$ walmart shoes and a year later they are still %80 in tact and serving their function fine. Why pay more than $40 for shoes?

 

[Thebobo]

Walmart $10

I love my Asics, but I would never wear those hideous things.

I tried the cheap WM shoes and after about 2 weeks they were tearing up. I thought maybe they were defective and tried another pair, same story. So in my personal experience, the $17 WM shoes are garbage. This has been a year or two ago, maybe they have improved since that time though

Same here.

He is a famous shoe designer, I don't care for almost anything he makes, but he is popular and many big names want him doing designs for them because they sell.

He has his own shop now.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Asics are decent shoes, but that price? Hell no.

If I'm going to pay that kind of money for Asics, it better be able to mine bit coins.

 

[GrumpyMan]

Like Jake the State Farm guy sounds, they are hideous.....

Some people just don't give a crap about their feet or comfort.
