Trying to "keep up with the Jones'es " or BE THE JONES'ES ain't nothing new bra...
Nobody said it was. Ain't nothing new about a Mickey Mouse sweater either... they just came up with the idea of charging $315 for it. It's just a matter of calling it like it is.
NO.sorry your wrong.The Quality is top notch
As often as I hear that, whether it's about the $200 "supreme" AF1 or a pajama top hoodie it never ceases to amuse.
The quality argument is valid to a point. Quality costs less in the long run and people have good cause to avoidbuying shoddy products on the cheap... but let's get real. People pay for the status, period. The quality argument is a rationalization. If it were JUSTabout quality, the label wouldn't matter. People would buy "plain" stuff that's simply well made. If you're paying $500 for a sweaterwith Pluto on it, don't tell me you're buying it because it's superbly knit and for no other reason. It's hard to believe that there'sreally somebody out there who goes to every different store, from Caldor to Banana Republic to Barneys, and settles on the $400 Donald Duck piece becauseit's the "best quality" available dollar for dollar.
