Who would pay $530 for a pair of beat-up sneakers, unless maybe they were worn personally by Michael Jordan on his best day ever? Lots of people, actually. Nordstrom’s website yesterday was sold out of the Golden Goose Superstar Taped Sneaker, a style that is made to look grubby and scuffed and has duct tape across the toes.
Golden Goose comes out with a pair of sneakers listed at $530 that are worn down and kept together by tape. Since when is it a trend to glorify the appearance of used sneakers and poverty? pic.twitter.com/1yLTuitIBX
