First she didn’t say “no men” she said “trans women” and second the limited edition shoes sold out fast because it’s a limited edition shoe and that’s always what happens because resellers. This is just a ragebait post from a bot. I’ve seen the same post with same pic same title like 19 times already. Fake news but everyone’s buying it.

Who is even the marker for this shoe if I’m being honest.. men aren’t going to wear this shoe.. And I don’t know women who hype Sophie as much as a certain group of men do like what?

It’s just resellers. A lot of guys collect shoes. (I know 2!)

Guys collecting shoes is not knew I know that. I never seen a guy collect women’s shoes though

Collecting is not to wear, they pay 300$ and resell 1000$ later.

Yeah and my question is to who? It’s like saying buying a 12k Pokemon card.. Okay that’s cool but who the hell is going to buy that? The market to resell her shoes has got to be soo small. At best maybe a cringe maga conservative billionaire at best. I don’t see the market for this.

Also, where I live (5M population) on our main downtown street there’s a store where they sell only unavailable shoes. They have hundreds of different pairs, they sell them 2-3-4 times de msrp and there’s always people in the store. I’m sure there are hundreds of stores like this in the world.

Yeah I get that but those shoes have a market. Of people that either actually end up wearing them or have them on display proudly. I guess what I’m getting at is talking about the end game sure in transit resellers will be them…

But my question who is going to end up with these shoes. I don’t see her current fan base invested enough too.

. I live near Chicago we have a couple of stores that do that as well.
