Recently we wrote an article sharing the reasons why most luxury brands fail India. It shows that Indians are value-loving customers but still there are brands out there getting popular for the products they sell at surprising prices.
Gucci is selling a pair of shoes ‘screener leather sneaker’ which looks like the classic trainers of the 70s with the vintage Gucci logo. If you follow older fashion trends, you must have seen these shoes in the older times. Interestingly, these don’t even look like new as they have a distressed effect.
The price of these shoes is whopping £615. Yes, you read it right! £615 which is approximately equal to Rs. 57,000 in Indian currency. Other than the brand name it is difficult to point out why someone will buy such dirty shoes at such a high price!!
This is how Twitter users reacted to it:

I’m sure these fashion designers do ridiculously styled things for publicity. Anyone stupid enough to buy them needs to seek out a good Psychologist.
