Adidas - £170 for pre-dirtied trainers?!

Who is the target audience and why? The soles look positively mouldy.

A long-running in-joke by the fashion industry to see what is the cruddiest piece of shit they can persuade some brainless fashion victim to part with $$ for.

(IMO)

Golden Goose have been doing it for years…
At least that’s just one of the colour options for the same trainer, I’d imagine it’ll be the one that ends up on the sale rail.

It's very odd. My DC insist on using special wipes to keep their white trainers pristine.

Derelicte!

For trainer collectors with more money than sense.

So hot right now

Love the voting options. I voted lost their minds. They must be running out of ideas.

If my trainers looked like that, I’d throw them in the bin! A charity shop wouldn’t take trainers looking like that!

How about these beauties for £685?! https://www.goldengoose.com/gb/en/women-s-francy-penstar-lab-with-floral-print-and-black-star-cod-GWF00114.F003820.10471.html

I could derelicte my own trainers for a lot less than £170.

Mugatu was truly ahead of his time

I think it all depends if you’re desperate for the nostalgia of your old school PE departments lost property or not. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Zoreos I can smell your post!

Perhaps Adidas should have gone to The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too?

I was going to mention Golden Goose!

Tbh, I don’t like the look of their trainers even if they hadn’t been made to look dirty… and then the price tag!

Me too! 😃

Erm... ripped jeans???

I suppose ripped jeans, but at least they're clean. If I saw these trainers in the wild I'd assume they were dirty.

Genius! Take them out to the pub twice a week, then return home pretending you've done a run 😂New years resolutions only last a week, buy this way you can at least avoid the shame.

What happened to "box fresh" trainers? Are they not a la mode now then? These are gross by the way - really skanky looking.

There has been a thread about this a few weeks ago.
One born every minute comes to mind...

I remember my granny being dumbfounded that I spent 40 quid (in 1991) for a pair of ripped Levi's.

I fear I am now my granny, dumbfounded that people will pay large sums of money for manky trainers.

Edited spelling

Who are these people that can afford £685 on a pair of manky shoes?!

Is this the kickback against the box fresh trend? But instead of just dirtying your £22 trainers yourself by running through the woods like we did in the 90s, you pay Adidas hundreds to do it for you 😂

Next up pants with built in skids

OMG I remember back in the early 2000s when destroyed converse where the rage - I brought a new pair and buried them in the back garden LOL. My Dad was APPALLED.
