Why Are Sneakers Get Too High

Have you ever found sneakers you want so badly but they’re too expensive? Sneakers these days are high in money and most people can not afford to spend money on shoes that will get minimal use. I think sneaker prices are getting too high and they need to get lower for the people who love them. “A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes.” said by Christian Louboutin, who is a famous shoe designer from France.

Adidas shoes cost around $170 and Jordan shoes cost around $200 on average. These brands are really popular, attract many people, and are highly talked about and many people buy their products. These brand of shoes come with new technology to increase the comfort of the person wearing the sneaker. Nike and Jordan have an air bubble technology that maximizes the comfort of the person that wears the shoe, this air bubble makes it feel light on your feet as it feels like you are actually walking on air. The Adidas brand shoes also come with newly innovated technology, this technology is called

boost it is made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) which is in tightly shaped foam nuggets that are placed in the midsole to absorb the energy that you give when you place your foot down on the ground when you walk. It absorbs this energy and gives it back to you so it is easier to walk with more ease . These technologies have revolutionized the the sneaker industry forever. Texture and the quality of the shoe is key for some people, these shoes give you great quality. The materials that are often used with the average shoe is suede, mesh, leather, plastic, textile, foam, and rubber. Suede is a soft fabric that is made out of leather that has a soft and a smooth finish. Some of these shoes that fall in this category is the Adidas NMD R1 which has boost and retails for $160 and the Jordan Retro 3 which has the air bubble which retails for $220.

The high prices force people to turn to other things besides the stores .Selling and buying sneakers can make profit and make lots of money, if you are educated about shoes. If you are interested in sneakers and you have a tight budget there is a big sneaker market that involves other people, just like you that can not afford the high priced sneakers. There are many apps, people, and consignment stores that offer cheap and authentic shoes. These options are not always the best for some people. Many people love the shoes that the brands offer, but they might not like the shoe so much on their feet. Many people get shoes just to have them or wear the brand on their feet. In some cases sneakers are what make people's day and sometimes it is the only thing they can look forward to, is to show off their kicks. Sneakers are made for less money in factories than they retail. They are made in second hand countries like Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Laos, and the Philippines. In first world countries like China and Mongolia they are also made. The workers that work here are paid low income (minimum wage) , work in dirty factories, and their is little to no space to for them to be made. So it is not fair for them and it is also not fair for us that they are being sold at such a high and ridiculous price. Overall second hand sneakers could be the right place to buy sneakers.

Many people love everything about sneakers , but are halted by it’s prices. I am a person that loves sneakers and I can not stop looking at them. The prices for me are too high and other parents like mine are do not want to buy them for me because they work hard for the money they have and they do not want to pay that ridiculous price. People’s hopes and dreams are crushed because the prices are not unconscionable . The demand for the sneakers is what makes it so sought after. For example Nike makes 34.28 billion dollars a year and 13% of that income was from sneakers. Adidas’ income was 19.29 billion dollars a year and 16% of that income was also from sneakers . This shows that they make a good amount of money off of their over-priced sneaker in my opinion.

On the other hand some people think that sneakers prices are just right.

They can believe that these sneakers are only for people that are true fans and if you want them to be cheaper you are not a true sneakerhead. A sneakerhead is a person with background knowledge of certain sneakers and acquires the latest trends and shoes. The prices keep away the fake fans and only the dedicated buy them. These prices are good because it makes it so others do not get them and it is only limited to the few real sneakerheads. If you can not work later or find money to buy these you aren’t truly the person to be claimed as a sneakerhead. They go out of their way to find this money and fulfill their ambitions and dreams to make it so they can say they have the latest and newest sneaker and you don’t. That’s why sneaker prices are good and should stay the same if I saw it this

way.

I think sneaker prices are too high and most people can not afford them. Sneaker prices halt people from buying shoes they always wanted, prevents them from having what they love like brands as Jordan, Adidas, and Nike shoes off of their feet, and it means they can not make profit or sell sneakers they have bought. Sneakers bring many people together and can bring out the best of people. Sneakerheads deserve better quality. Sneakerheads deserve better respect. Sneakerheads deserve better and more efficient prices so a vaster group of people can buy them.
