you are right, but i just don't understand how peoples perception of things change so easy with something as simple as a name being attached to it.

we're human
we are a fickle species. But from what I've been seeing most people who didn't want these from day 1 didn't cop; people who did, copped.

For me the name means nothing. Still havent looked into the inspiration. For me its all abou the fuzzy suede. Never saw birches in person so if they are exactly the same then I know what next weeks purchase is gonna be.

The thing i don't get is that if these were called The “Chairman Bao” and had some design on the insole and the official Bao's had no name attached to them everyone would be going nuts for these instead. Yes i know some of you really like the Baos, but half just like them because they have a name attached to them. To me the Baos weren't creative at all. All grey with a blue sole. How come everyone didn't go crazy for the Birchs which were more creative in my opinion, oh because there wasn't a name attached to them. Ok done venting.
There's a sizable segment of people that got really excited about the Baos because they're foodies. I'm one of those people, I thought it was a cool shoe on first picture, but it became something I had to get when I found out about the inspiration for it.
I also like those and hope that they hang around for a while, because I'd love to get them on discount.

Birchs are hard to come by. Took me forever to find a second pair after i ruined the first pair with jean dye(and i wear a 12). They are one of my favorite Dunks and that's why i want the Baos.

This is nothing new though, that's how most brands are in general... you think people would buy Supreme stuff if it didn't have a stupid Supreme label on it? Majority of what they sell is weak.
Even with luxury designers, they come out with some ugly stuff but people will still buy because of a 'name'. I think everyone is guilty at the end of the day. If the Tiffanys were an Adidas or Fila shoe, would there still be hype on it? likely not..

Nice find! And I thought I got a decent deal for these with 15% off at ccs. Too bad they had it ship it to me in a plastic bag. Worst thing ever, box came to me all jacked up.

What's the inspiration behind the Baohaus dunks? That's what I honestly thought was weak, cuase it felt uninspired and that it's just a nice looking dunk Eddie Huang put his name on. If someone told me that these dunks were actually beach themed and not food-themed I'd believe it.

It's riffing off of his restaurant, the polar blue represents the sign outside of the building, its almost a perfect match for the neon lit up, the grey suede looks like the buns he serves with the insoles matching the look of the pork belly chairman Bao bun's filling. The grey could be a bit more natural looking though, then it'd really match the buns.
