It’s super unfair living outside of the states; we get raped on import charges. People don’t realise how annoying it is living outside of America and then wearing a money size too! We also don’t have many stores that stock hypes releases, and we also have less raffle opportunities too. We’re forced to look towards the resell market a lot of the time, and it’s simply always going to be more expensive for us.
Posters were criticising me because 5 of my 6 first posts mentioned reselling, but why should Europeans be forced to pay £150 extra (more than the shoe is worth in a lot of cases) just to have it imported from Stock X? Damn right I will now try and get my hands on sneakers with the sole intention to flip — that way I can put the cash towards my import fees for sneakers that I want. I’ve never actually sold for a profit before but now I’m prepared to do it if it means I get the sneakers that I want without being a total asshat and handing over £150 or more when it’s not even part of the shoe’s cost.
YNWA btw.
