- Wait, is this part of the shoe?
This is like part of the style?
It's just so dumb.
- I would not use such a harsh word,
but it's pretty stupid.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Megan.
- Hi, I'm Aria.
- And today.
- We are guessing the prices.
- Of sneakers.
- Of sneaker shoes.
- Prices of sneakers, from what I understand,
are way out of hand right now.
- For like financial purposes,
I don't even bother getting invested in that.
- He's broke.
- I'm broke.
If you're a collector, then it's even more,
'cause now they do limited releases of stuff.
And then the price just skyrockets even more.
- All I know about sneaker heads, in general,
is that I know there certain stores here in LA,
like down on Melrose, where people just lineup.
I see a line of people waiting for shoes,
and I think, I don't think of that.
- Today we're guessing the retail value,
and then the aftermarket value of sneakers.
- You like a good game, Megan.
- I love a game.
- Let's make it into a competition.
You know, after this you wanna get some boba.
Maybe loser...
- [Both] Buys the boba.
- You're freakin' on, my dude.
(instrumental music)
Okay, Yeezy's.
Yeezy Boost 700, I wonder if the number means anything.
Is that the price?
- Oh, that'd be smart, but I doubt it.
It's not that easy of a game.
- Crack it open.
- Well, I can't even open the box,
so I shouldn't be (laughs) - See, this is our problem,
right here.
- How the freak do you open this?
Fancy boxes.
- [Both] Ooh!
(laughs)
- Why? - That was cool.
- Okay, ooh, oh.
- These are beautiful chunky shoes.
- Do you know what, these are not the worst.
- Not the worst, they're beautiful.
- Wow, they're really light for a chunky shoe.
Okay, I have to say a controversial opinion.
- I think we're having the same one.
Go first, I think we're
gonna say the same thing. - I think that most sneakers
are horribly ugly.
- Oh okay, that's not what I was gonna say. But yeah.
But I'm on the same the same sort of train of thought
though, because I think these are not that great looking.
- You know what I like about these
is that they don't have that, like,
they're not like clogs, you know,
they still have a bit of sleekness to them.
I would actually pay some good money
for this, I think.
- There's a lot of knockoffs of these.
Like, with this kind of color scheme, I've seen.
- I didn't realize that Yeezys were Adidas.
I though Yeezy was like his
own brand. - I saw some Nikes,
but all right.
- But Yeezy's through Adidas, okay.
- 149.
- I wrote 250.
- Yeah.
- Oh!
- Damn, okay.
That's pretty close. - That's cause I am so good.
- I should've gone 296.
- Oh my god!
Having a (beep) laugh at this price.
$300 for these?
- 300 is, it's a dope shoe.
- The value behind the Yeezy brand
probably makes it worth $300 to a lot of people.
- What'd you write?
- 500.
- I wrote 750.
- Ooh, why? - I really went for it.
- I really don't know.
Oh my god!
- Oh my god. - Wow, absurd, absurd.
- From 250 to 900.
- That's a tidy profit, I won't lie.
Now, I sort of get why the line, actually.
The point of waiting in line, they buy, they sell them.
(upbeat music)
(ding) (clatter)
- I'm actually. - Oh, damn it!
Okay, whatever, I mean. (laughs)
I feel like we were, like, it was right in the middle.
- I mean, mine is $30.
That seems absurd, because is a person buying them
to wear them at that point or are you buying them
to sell them in the future?
- Yeah, if I had the money I would probably do it,
because, just knowing that other people
don't have them, that's what makes it sick.
(slow music)
(vocalizing)
- [Both] Ooh.
- I like these.
- I love a good sock shoes, sock shoes are very in.
- That's what they're called?
Oh, I like that.
- Ooh, these are beautiful.
Oh my goodness. - Well.
- So, this is Kawhi Leonard's sneaker.
So, New Balance is new to the game.
Well, New Balance has been around,
but New Balance is not a place
that people were wearing until recently, I feel.
- It's like architecture, like these shoes
have architecture.
- These are cool, okay, all right.
Kinda has like a trendy kinda,
there's more of a design element to this, I feel.
- I like the colors,
I think it's clean and modern. - Love this.
- I do like the white.
And this sort of gives me some superhero vibes.
- You went six, I went 425.
- I went a little crazy after the last one.
(whoosh)
- What did you write?
- 180.
- Ugh!
- (beep) laugh. (laughs)
- These are so much better looking
for so much less.
- I agree.
- Honestly, in comparison to Yeezy,
it's because Kanye West isn't standing behind it
telling you, you should pay whatever he says.
- Went back to 425, and you went back to 600.
- I stayed at 600.
(whoosh)
(ding)
- Yeah!
I won.
- You really were right.
- I know what's hot and what's not.
- Wow.
(ding) (clatter)
(beep) Well, she's getting boba today, it looks like.
- They really didn't make much money off these.
- No, not really, it's surprising,
'cause they're nice, I like them.
- Because they're like linked to an athlete,
I bet you people think, "ooh, I wonder
"if these are gonna be collector's someday."
(soft music)
- Ooh, oh yes, I'm familiar. - Ooh.
- Ooh, here's a shoe for you and a shoe for me.
- That's a large shoe.
- Sweet, sweet Yeezys again.
- The thing is, I think they're ugly like this,
but I think if I saw them on a foot
with an outfit, I'd be like,
oh, those are sick. - Me, too.
- Yeah, very good point.
On its own, not the best.
It really depends on the outfit
that the wearer puts together for it.
- Honestly, I think these shoes
are clean as hell, I love these shoes.
I like the way that they look on people's feet.
If that's weird, I don't know, but.
- It's a dope shoe, yeah.
- Wow.
- It feels like quality, it feels expensive.
- What does that say? - 400.
- Is that a four?
I put 250.
Wow, I am (laughs) so smart. - And I'm goddam last.
- All right, go.
(ding)
What? - Ooh.
- You're worth way more than that.
- Wow.
- These have less colors and it's like
one material, so that makes sense
that they would be slightly less.
- Resale, I'm gonna say, I know that these shoes
are very popular now.
I would assume that they have made
a lot more of them.
- Oh no, what did I do?
- Oh my god, 1,200?
- These are like so popular.
- How are you so good at this (beep),
you better get out of here.
- I'm really good at estimating, wow!
- What?
- Listen.
- Wait, aren't these common now?
I mean, they're clean, but not $1,000 clean.
- The other ones would get my money before these would.
I feel like those have a distinct look
and these are, I mean, these are dope, but like.
- I'm gonna say, I wouldn't spend $1,000 on these shoes.
I love them, but I wouldn't do it.
- I can understand why different color ways
would sell for different prices,
but the ultimate price still doesn't
make sense to me, how this could sell
for over $1,000.
(upbeat music)
The 10 Nike Air Max.
I've heard about these.
- Ooh, these are...
- I hate them.
- I don't really like them either, actually.
- Take your shoe.
- I don't wanna touch them. (mumbles)
- Oh, okay.
- Ooh, ooh, Off-White. - They're fresh.
These are fresh.
- If this thing is worth more than $200,
no, I'm gonna say worth more than $150,
then I'm gonna laugh.
- It's kind of interesting and hilarious,
because the shoe, the style of it
is very torn down and demolished looking.
And I just think it's hilarious
that you pay a ton of money for it
to look like it's falling apart.
- All right, well first things first,
you see the little Off-White insignia?
That's on here, that means they're expensive.
Virgil Abloh, he was the designer
who started Off-White, he now is the head
of Louis Vuitton.
Which I think has made him even more valuable
and made Off-White more valuable,
in my personal opinion.
So, I would assume that these ones
are a bit pricey.
- Okay, thanks for that, 'cause I would've
had no idea.
- This is the value add right here, the cable tie.
- Wait, is this part of the shoe?
- This is like part of the style?
It's just so dumb.
- I would not use such a harsh word,
but it's pretty stupid.
Wow, I really overshot it,
but all right, whatever.
(whoosh)
(ding) (laughs)
I feel a bit better about these shoes now. Honestly, I do.
It's like okay, 170, fine.
(ding)
- What?
What?
- I could actually afford them.
- Do you think it's the style?
- Found a shoe within my range.
- Do you think it's the style, because I know
like the VaporMaxes are expensive, no?
- I mean, maybe all that stuff you thought
about the Off-White.
- It's not wrong, it's right.
Resale probably is where you're gonna see
this hype around Virgil Abloh.
(whoosh)
- Hey, I got a point!
(laughs)
The last point of the day.
- I told you, it's cause Virgil is that guy.
- So, like, $1,200.
These sold for $1,200. - That's absurd to me.
- I am so confused.
I feel like I know less about shoes
than I knew coming in.
- You know what, I get it.
If people wanna spend a lot of money
on something that makes them happy, go for it.
- I think I don't know anything
about shoes anymore, I guess.
If you can't get them in the store,
I don't really know about it.
- I think that makeup can be really expensive.
Obviously, not the same amount,
but makeup makes me happy and it's really expensive,
and this is something that you can wear frequently
and that makes a statement about who you are
and your fashion sense.
So, it makes sense that people
would wanna invest in that.
The way that shoes look and the brands
have nothing to do with what people
will pay for shoes.
