400, not on my dime,

NOPE! I cannot recommend paying $400 for a pair of sneakers made in who knows where. If I had asked my parents for pair when I was in the targeted buying group these trainers are targeted she would have responded “Not on my dime, McDonald’s is always hiring”. LVMH acquired American brand Tiffany & Co in 2021. The famous blue colored jeweler has been an exclusive place of dreams luxury staple for 185 years. Those days are over in the era of “masstige” where are labels are trading up or down.

Partnering with sportswear titan Nike, the first of I am sure, many co-branding partnerships signals the new owners plan on making their New York based holding more accessible to a younger generation.

A high priced sneaker with a colored “Swish” packed in a fancy branded box brings out the cynical side of me.

Luxury fashion and streetwear brands continue to unite. What do I think of the Prada-Adidas Collaboration launched today? Are these worth the price? Stay Tuned for my opinion.

Hi Tops from Dior

I looked over the Dior Pre-Fall Collection. Kim Jones continues to lean to streetwear for inspiration. His commercial instincts are solid. Luxury labels must court new buyers to stay relevant. I am not sure where the line is drawn between courting and desperate attempt.

Dior meets Air Jordans from the Pre Fall Collection.

The new Nike Air Jordan hi-top crosses the border. The association reminds me of an LA Swap Meet stall. I do understand the inspiration other than some street credibility. In all honesty, it takes tacky to an overpriced level. For many reasons this type of cross over collaboration reminds me of Pierre Cardin licensing products in the 1980’s. Where did that end?

Lastly, with all certainty, this new sneaker will have millions of fake copies in a matter of weeks. On sale at the Swap Meet for 29.99.
