why would I be boosting my post count? Is there a reward for that?Sometimes I wonder are you just boosting your post count or is your taste really this broad![]()
they'll probably go on sale for 50% off at the end of the season.Yessir! I was checking them out when they dropped on the site. Good price for $1295 too. Plus, I rarely see anybody wearing BV so that's also a nice plus!
Seems too good to be true.
He said his ex girl got it for him on vacay in nyc so hes technically not taking the L. Showed me reciept and all the dates match the date when it was released.[/quote
I completely agree. They can go F themselves with the price they are charging. Should be 300 lol
Wow. Even if these are snakeskin or python, though they look more like embossed leather with partially carved scales, Balenciaga chose the wrong damn supplier/swatches. For 1000+, you should get the kind of python customizers are building Jordan's out of.
yo ill buy them is that his instagram name?Pm sentHe said his ex girl got it for him on vacay in nyc so hes technically not taking the L. Showed me reciept and all the dates match the date when it was released.[/quote

But RO/CL actually use good python/snakeskin, at least aesthetically speaking. Even Filling Pieces used premo skins on their trainers, and those were only 300. Even if Balenciaga is using premium snakeskin, the fact that a lot of us were debating whether it was embossed or authentic even after more detailed pics were posted just goes to show that they could've done a LOT better on materials for the price point. Would've preferred that they used FP's python. You generally buy snakeskin for the scaly look, and that translates very poorly in the Arena's.As for those Balenciaga, I agree that the python pattern isn't the best but I really see no problem with it being $1k+ if it is indeed real python.
I mean if it's real, you won't mind paying in the $600s when the regular plain leather cost $585?
Seriously, I mean look at Rick Owens, their python island dunks or geos can cost 2x-3x the retail price, same with Louboutin.
Again, the pythons pattern isn't my preference but I don't think they "messed up" just because they priced it $1000+, that isn't bad for real exotic skin and others may actually prefer the more consistent pattern.
But those aren't "detailed" pics. I have yet to see a good quality pic of those so called "pythons". It's still those crappy SA pics that apprently has some 10yr old Nokia phones by the quality of pics they take.
I mean for all we know, those pythons are great and cost even more because they had to meticulously pick only the part that has the more consistent pattern?
And those filling pieces are a lesser known brand, everyone knows the bigger brands with history will simply cost more from the name alone. This is a luxury shoes thread afterall. Same goes for Diemme who charged $500+ for their slip-ons. I've never seen those FIlling Pieces pythons in person but I've seen their regular shoes and they aren't that spectacular. And come on, regular Filling Pieces cost $230 (their chukkas actually cost $300 w/o any special exotic leathers) and the pythons cost just $70 more? I highly, HIGHLY doubt that is quality python they are using.
I'm just saying, all those pics are terrible and how many times have the pics that were posted here doesn't do the shoes justice?
