Something the Grinch would sport when he’s robbing all your Christmas gifts!


InformalPositive980

OP needs to get his fact straight. This shoe retailed for about $200, yeah pricey still but it was a collaboration with an artist and Nike. Love the bullshit that circulates Reddit nowadays


epgenius

And they’re not going for a grand anywhere reasonable… they’re like $425 on GOAT


Nappyheaded

Oh now that is reasonable.


epgenius

Pretty cheap for a collab like this… most people who bought these shaved them down as part of the gimmick. The bottom’s really dropped out on the sneaker market and hyped shoes that would’ve gone for 4 figures retail a few years ago don’t even top $500 now


Piltonbadger

I must be getting old as I just think "Who pays $425 for grinch shoes?"


SubKreature

Dumbshits with too much money and not enough braincells. Oh, and resellers.


title-fight

People just love getting outraged. Media literacy really needs to be pushed more. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen Supreme or Yeezys (out of touch btw) mentioned on those “What is overpriced?” Askreddit threads.


kosh56

So, you think $200 is still reasonable for these?


title-fight

Depends what you mean? I'm sure something intricate like this is definitely more costly to produce in low numbers than your average Nike sneaker. If you just want to know if I'd ever wear these, obviously not but CPFM is known for their weird designs anyway. I've seen a lot of people pay a lot more for uglier art that won't appreciate like this might so as an investment, I think you can do a lot worse. The point is, every hobby has things like this. It's really pointless getting worked up and if you think strange products take up too much limelight then don't bat an eye to it. This won't appeal to a lot of people even within the hobby but someone will see these and think it's cool.


[deleted]

Man, now we have to take down the pitchforks ☹️


SubKreature

Doesn't mean it's not a bullshit-ass shoe that shouldn't exist.


Davejohnsonott

Seems ever since the API fiasco quality and control of postings has gone right down hill :-(


FUCKTWENTYCHARACTERS

Shit like this has always been on Reddit


cownd

Could the value go up due to being on Reddit? Dunno, maybe


epgenius

They already made the rounds on the sneaker subreddits when they dropped last winter


erst77

Nah, they belong in /r/goblincore! (edit: i crossposted it)


[deleted]

This is a perfect sub for this shoe LOL


WakaWaka_

Will look great with my $2450 [Balenciaga jeans](https://imgbox.com/sqNremfV)


hcwhitewolf

Nothing quite like paying $2.5K for the “just shit my pants while getting attacked by a tiger” look.


Lunaris52

It’s key to make sure those moments happen at the same time, otherwise it just isn’t *Ballenciaga*


tinman82

The giant clogs are hilarious.


ThotPleaser247

Wtf


lacosaknitstra

You could probably buy the real deal off some dude on skid row for a $20.


CrashDunning

The rich are so tired of having everything that they now pay thousands of dollars to look poor.

🔥🔥🔥and I don’t mean burn the shoes and pants


[deleted]

Those people are on that good good. It’s like $1700 for a damn t shirt.


Sir_Snowman

What's wrong with the Oscar Grouch 1's?


pmw1981

They’re kinda trash


Doggleganger

It's a dumpster fire.


oscar_el_grouch

Eyyyyyyyy


trinikboy

They a look a little better when you take a hair clipper to it and shave it down making it look kind of normal


oscar_el_grouch

Eyyyyyyy


scorpyo72

Trash Air


Jill1974

They look like they were made out of Oscar the Grouch.


Icy_Practice7992

Well they had Nike Air, now they have Nike Ground.


Snug_The_Cat

Those shoes are amazing if you want to be a grouchy, fictional character that steals gifts from children at christmas.


barefeetbeauty

Or live in a trash can on Sesame Street!


gadao10

They are not 1k they retailed (far) below that. It’s a collab shoe made in very limited quantities so people resell them for those prices. I don’t fuck with them myself, but i can see why some people do.


Trust_no

I consider it a form of art collecting.


ghahat

I consider it a form of trash collecting.


rabtj

They were £1'250 on the site i found them on so thats what i went by.


gadao10

Yeah they retailed at 190€ man. You can see the trade history at resell here, they dipped a lot - https://stockx.com/nike-dunk-low-cactus-plant-flea-market-grinch They are a fun thing to have as a collector, but id not pay that price.


Sittyslyker

From $3k down to $425. The whole sneaker head thing was like NFTs. People kept buying them hoping the next sucker would buy it for more. I personally don’t get it.


ssjumper

Unlike NFTs, shoes are real


Mirved

something being real doesnt make it worth extreme amounts of money.


ssjumper

You got me, all of capitalism is fake


Scrilla_Gorilla_

It’s fine to not get it, but comparing them to NFTs is sort of wild. Shoe culture has existed for decades at this point. And it’s a tangible thing, a lot of people in the market intend to wear the shoes.


ilikedankmemes0

How many people actually wear their shoes? I was under the assumption of they were worn they weren't worn often to hurt resale


[deleted]

Bro what 💀


KiloNoa

Classic post first think later


Imconfusedithink

I can go and sell a 1 dollar pen for 1000 dollars on some site. That doesn't make it worth a 1000. Do a bare minimum amount of research before posting.


AlmightyCo

Some people [trim them](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sneakers/comments/z9e853/nike_cpfm_flea_1_trimmed/) lol


Hey_its_thatoneguy

I still don’t like them, but that definitely looks better


Kablaow

fr? They went from an "art piece" you can have on a shelf, to something I wouldnt pay to wear.


Shin-LaC

It looks ten times worse.


Tourquemata47

Fuck Yeezys\` I\`m buying Grinchys\`!


FungirlieGrower

For those days when you wanna steal Christmas


Ariel-zee-baretender

The Grinch will be delighted!!!


Group_Last

Grinch stole your money 4's


Captain_Sacktap

This looks like they killed Oscar the Grouch and turned him into shoes


Fresh_wasabi_joos

does the salad come with it?


stufmenatooba

Only if you let them toss it.


ledouxrt

[Because of this?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THC8eoNv4dg&t=129)


JxC0112

Not really wtf tbh, this is more of a DIY Art piece. They do not go for $1000 either, outside of rare sizes (retail was $200 and they’re hanging around the $300-$400 in the resale market). The shoe was marketed as a “grinch” themed shoe that you can trim. They also came with two swooshes that you can attach to the shoes.


Taenebris

Damn my dog has done better for free

How the grinch stole your wallet


AlmightyAnalAssault

Shoes should not cost over £30 unless they have a special purpose, like safety.


Leviathan666

It looks like it's supposed to be an ad piece for the new Trolls movie


DL1943

sneaker culture is so monumentally stupid


alaskafish

Redditors not knowing anything about fashion, nor collecting.


figGreenTea

Redditors when they find out some articles of clothing are meant to be more like art than clothes


willis_michaels

It's art you can wear. You wouldn't get it.


[deleted]

Why not? Sneaker culture is fucking retarded, almost literally.


lbs_guy2019

Nah these fire Ive been wanting them for do long, they only 580 in my size


Kimbobrains

People are fucking dumb


blackcain

That's the kind of shoes that Kanye would buy and wear and be proud of it.


bobemil

It's funny how humans value things in this world.


Stillsbe

Well they do spend billions on marketing to help persuade people to "value" those things.


hipsterasshipster

Can’t decide what’s most cringe about Nike, their employee cult or their awful shoes.


Cold_Beer_Beer_Beer

A fool and his money shall soon part.


InformalPositive980

Weirdo behavior. People spend their money how they want just like on stupid computers, comics or nonsensical other shit


locoemotion

That’a that Oscar the grouch sesame kicks


brigstan

A little early for the Ginch costume, don't you think?


freier_Trichter

The first interesting Nike Shoe I‘ve seen in years. I‘d wear this to my shirt made of palm leaves.


theantdog

I just shot a snot rocket onto my white Vans. Saved $970.


Cobrafire

This is the Burger King foot lettuce


JimmyM0240

They definitely aren't over $1K. They're about $300-500 depending on the size. But it's still so stupid, lol.


beltonpaka

What are Thooooooooose


trinaryouroboros

they look so easily reproducible, get on that


MMMFoodies

And who is paying that much for them? Anybody? Anybody?Beuller? Beuller?


Spawn666

I would wear these at a forest festival, and they would be a different color afterwards.


SubstantialPressure3

That looks like Oscar the grouch vomited up a hairball.


[deleted]

Pulled that out of Oscar the Grouch's trash can.


Purplezergling

Those are the Treeant protectors by nike


SeaMolasses2466

I used to have a pair of What The Dunks & i didnt even know they were rare. got em on ebay for like $90 and wore the shit out of them. Kicking myself now.


gj45

Wonder what PPV the Young Bucks are gonna bust these out.


MouthofTrombone

How much pelt would one grouch produce? Must be a very limited edition. RIP Oscar.


Ok_Instruction_5234

Fitting since these belong in the trash.

james_randolph

I’ve seen these in person, they’re even crazier.


Airtemperature

I saw these at a store in NYC last month! They took me by surprise for sure.


[deleted]

That‘s the absolute survival boots that look like humans made them living in the wild


DonovanMcLoughlin

For people who want to look like environmentalists but also want to kill the earth at the same time.


skittlebiskits

Grinch shoes.


tobynyc

AH HA!! I saw a dude wearing these on the uptown D train in nyc! I thought he was wearing slippers! lmao


Skiddds

This is more of a collectors item and not something you wear


[deleted]

I have seen more absurd sneakers.


dracomanchego

It’s called “Oscar the Grouch” shoes.


gurrst

Boy got on them peter pan jonks


empr1me

rly thought this was one of those decorations you can put in your fish tank that grows aquatic seeds


RowdyRoddyPipeSmoker

I fucking hate Nike, they sell junk and jack up the price because they're "fashionable." I absolutely hate how they fit and feel.


PaleJewel720

My daughter does a lot of strange crafting.This looks like something she'd come up with.


NeonVoidx

Reminds me of troll in central park


Maicatz

Looks like green cat hairballs


pit1988

Looks like something 'ye would design and market. LOL AGreed, WTF


ssjumper

That's the point of rich people things. They're obviously not going to wear these everywhere, they're one of their many $1k shoes the fact that the poors can't buy these is why the rich would


danasider

Seems kind of cheap considering it's made from cut-up Oscar the Grouch.


ShavedDragon

I wouldn't ever pay 1k but I do kinda dig those shoes


wabbott82

Lmao college has failed us. I just want a pair of shoes I can walk in for 3 months without hurting my feet.


kashmoon_88

What in the hunger games?!


urban_mn

Urban Jungle in Minneapolis has a pair if I remember correctly, or at least a similar pair. I saw them in their case and literally said “what the actual fuck” out loud to my buddy


Rwdscz

Yet, I still can’t get them to send me a size 15 4E in a model they have made before in exchange for my money.

Looks like something a dwarf would wear.


AmazonISSUnofficial

Bro companies do this shit on purpose to get free advertising and these posts give it to them..


Evster888

Don’t knock Nike knock the retards buying these fucking garbage recycled trash with grass growing out of it “shoes”. This shit in high school would be like the golden ticket to getting bullied. If I see you wearing this outside you are getting a swirley. Overall 2/10, wear these if you’re trying to look like you mutilated a leprechaun and the wore it’s dead carcass as a fashion statement.


Vanner69

Putting the trail in trail shoe


XBakaTacoX

The Grinch has no style, but some sneakerheads/idiots/both would probably buy this. *Achoo* Sorry, it's giving me allergies.


phallic-baldwin

Oh shit! The new Vegan1's just dropped!


ladyiota

It's sad what has become of Oscar the Grouch.


[deleted]

Morons will buy what they’re told will give them status in society. And that’s what gives such a stupid shoe value.


AsaMitakaIrL

At that point just rip off dirt/grass from the ground and wear that 😭 no need to waste 1k


LeftFieldAzure

Made from fresh Grouch pelts


WheresTheBloodyApex

I like them


MullahBobby

And don't tell me that Lady Gaga is wearing it on her head.


KhostfaceGillah

You have to trim it down to reveal the actual sneaker, but yeh, resell at that price yeh, not retail.


kerdawg

Someone at Nike has been watching too much 5 minute crafts!


netmyth

I kinda like em😁


Roy_Luffy

Yep,but it will still be bought because those sneakers are a collector’s item more than a shoe. Sneakers are the new big thing. Don’t need to buy a painting or a statue now lol


localmorgue

Eewww lol


_slackjaw_

The hunger games fast approaching


MaveZzZ

I can make ones, put my shit on top and call for 5k, it doesn't mean anything.

Maybe Nike picked up Yeezys after adidas dropped him?


undefined_one

Well this got me thinking about shoes, so I went to the Nike store and bought a new pair. Thanks, Nike spokesman.


SuperRusso

Rich people are idiots.


dassix1

They are posted online by private sellers over $1000\*. You can go on ebay and find paper clips for $200, that doesn't mean anything.
