My teenage son just blew all of the money he's been saving on a pair of $400 sneakers.
More amazing was that they actually retail for nearly double that he just happened to luck out finding a cheap pair in his size online.
When did $800 sneakers become a thing?
Why do kids want sneakers that look like spaceships?
How can I get into this business?

Very possibly...
They obviously have rockets in them. I saw those in cartoons in the 1970s.
I could have got it for him for $50 ;)
I do a fair bit of running so I've bought quite a few pairs of shoes. Hoka's are the go I reckon - very comfy, like running on marshmellows it said in a review I once read. Never spent $400 though, a bit over half that is my limit.
In my day we didn't have sneakers, we would find two week old road kill roos scrape em off the road and tie them to our feet with rusty fencin wire.
Lol
My brother regularly buys Yeezy sneakers, which are released by Kanye West, he then resells them for at least 3-4 times more than he bought them for because they are all limited releases. He has on occasion got $3000 for sneakers he spent $200-300 on. I dont understand it personally, but good on him for finding a way to profit from it I guess.
Then there are lots of rich kids with indulgent parents that want all the gimmicks, the more expensive the better it must be.
This is what he bought, actually! I can be glad then he didn't pay $3000!
Haha, did he buy them off a guy in Sydney? Be a bit funny if it was ends up being my brother :)
