Yo, who’s noticed Gucci’s sneakers popping off in dorm parties? Like, they lowkey became the new ‘I’ve made it’ flex this semester. Thoughts? :thinking::running_shoe:

Gucci sneakers scream, ‘I spent my student loan on these.’ :joy: But for real, it’s about vibing with that high-fashion, athleisure aesthetic. #LuxuryGoals

Hot take: They’re overrated. You can get similar vibes with high-tier fakes or lower-cost alternatives. But hey, if it gives you clout, go for it! :nail_polish:

Isn’t this just capitalism feeding into our insecurities? Like, they cost $30 to make but charge us $900? Discuss. :man_shrugging:

Gucci’s always been about exclusive flex. It’s like they designed those sneakers specifically for us Gen Z—status without screaming ‘look at me.’ :sunglasses:

Real talk, it’s not just about the brand. Their collabs with artists are :fire:. Owning a piece feels like wearing art. :artist_palette:

Didn’t Billie Eilish rock them in one of her music videos? Sometimes it’s more about the pop culture connection than the sneaker itself. :glowing_star:

I’ll stick to my thrift store finds, thanks. Gucci can’t compete with my $5 Converse swag. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

It’s all supply and demand, fam. Gucci limits releases, spikes demand. Basic econ 101 but still genius. :chart_increasing:

Why spend $900 on sneakers when you can get 18 new games for your PS5? Different priorities, I guess. :video_game:
