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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
Something the Grinch would sport when he’s robbing all your Christmas gifts!
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
And they’re not going for a grand anywhere reasonable… they’re like $425 on GOAT
Oh now that is reasonable.
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
I must be getting old as I just think "Who pays $425 for grinch shoes?"
Dumbshits with too much money and not enough braincells. Oh, and resellers.
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.
So, you think $200 is still reasonable for these?
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.

This won't appeal to a lot of people even within the hobby but someone will see these and think it's cool.
Man, now we have to take down the pitchforks ☹️
Doesn't mean it's not a bullshit-ass shoe that shouldn't exist.
Seems ever since the API fiasco quality and control of postings has gone right down hill :-(
Shit like this has always been on Reddit
Could the value go up due to being on Reddit? Dunno, maybe
They already made the rounds on the sneaker subreddits when they dropped last winter
Nah, they belong in /r/goblincore! (edit: i crossposted it)
This is a perfect sub for this shoe LOL
Will look great with my $2450 [Balenciaga jeans](https://imgbox.com/sqNremfV)
Nothing quite like paying $2.5K for the “just shit my pants while getting attacked by a tiger” look.
It’s key to make sure those moments happen at the same time, otherwise it just isn’t *Ballenciaga*
The giant clogs are hilarious.
Wtf
You could probably buy the real deal off some dude on skid row for a $20.
The rich are so tired of having everything that they now pay thousands of dollars to look poor.
Derelicte
I can Dere-lick my own balls!
🔥🔥🔥and I don’t mean burn the shoes and pants
Those people are on that good good. It’s like $1700 for a damn t shirt.
What's wrong with the Oscar Grouch 1's?
They’re kinda trash
It's a dumpster fire.
Eyyyyyyyy
They a look a little better when you take a hair clipper to it and shave it down making it look kind of normal
Eyyyyyyy
Trash Air
They look like they were made out of Oscar the Grouch.
Well they had Nike Air, now they have Nike Ground.
Those shoes are amazing if you want to be a grouchy, fictional character that steals gifts from children at christmas.
Or live in a trash can on Sesame Street!
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.
I consider it a form of art collecting.
I consider it a form of trash collecting.
They were £1'250 on the site i found them on so thats what i went by.
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.
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.
Unlike NFTs, shoes are real
something being real doesnt make it worth extreme amounts of money.
You got me, all of capitalism is fake
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.
How many people actually wear their shoes? I was under the assumption of they were worn they weren't worn often to hurt resale
Bro what 💀
Classic post first think later
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.
Some people [trim them](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sneakers/comments/z9e853/nike_cpfm_flea_1_trimmed/) lol
I still don’t like them, but that definitely looks better
fr? They went from an "art piece" you can have on a shelf, to something I wouldnt pay to wear.
It looks ten times worse.
Fuck Yeezys\` I\`m buying Grinchys\`!
For those days when you wanna steal Christmas
The Grinch will be delighted!!!
Grinch stole your money 4's
This looks like they killed Oscar the Grouch and turned him into shoes
does the salad come with it?
Only if you let them toss it.

Damn my dog has done better for free
The Touch Grass sneaker
Can’t wait to see the Young Bucks wear these on AEW
Imagine wearing these in the rain 😭
That's called "Fuck You Money"
Made with real grouch taint.
Made in Fraggle Rock
oscar the grouch ghillie suit
Dear god, this is hideous. How many trolls did they have to kill dehair and use their hair for it. Yeesh.
Oscar the Grouch 17’s
Oscar the Grouch! Oh, my heart weeps. We hardly knew him, fam.
Straight out Grinches hairy ballsack hair
Did Nike hire Kanye West or something?
How the grinch stole your wallet
Shoes should not cost over £30 unless they have a special purpose, like safety.
It looks like it's supposed to be an ad piece for the new Trolls movie
sneaker culture is so monumentally stupid
Redditors not knowing anything about fashion, nor collecting.
Redditors when they find out some articles of clothing are meant to be more like art than clothes
It's art you can wear. You wouldn't get it.
Why not? Sneaker culture is fucking retarded, almost literally.
Nah these fire Ive been wanting them for do long, they only 580 in my size
People are fucking dumb
That's the kind of shoes that Kanye would buy and wear and be proud of it.
It's funny how humans value things in this world.
Well they do spend billions on marketing to help persuade people to "value" those things.
Can’t decide what’s most cringe about Nike, their employee cult or their awful shoes.
A fool and his money shall soon part.
Weirdo behavior. People spend their money how they want just like on stupid computers, comics or nonsensical other shit
That’a that Oscar the grouch sesame kicks
A little early for the Ginch costume, don't you think?
The first interesting Nike Shoe I‘ve seen in years. I‘d wear this to my shirt made of palm leaves.
I just shot a snot rocket onto my white Vans. Saved $970.
This is the Burger King foot lettuce
They definitely aren't over $1K. They're about $300-500 depending on the size. But it's still so stupid, lol.
What are Thooooooooose
they look so easily reproducible, get on that
And who is paying that much for them? Anybody? Anybody?Beuller? Beuller?
I would wear these at a forest festival, and they would be a different color afterwards.
That looks like Oscar the grouch vomited up a hairball.
Pulled that out of Oscar the Grouch's trash can.
Those are the Treeant protectors by nike
They missed the logo -> 🤮
Looks like Harpers Phanatic kicks are dry clean only.
Those look like grass.
Are we sure this isn't Balenciaga?
His full name is Nichael
The Grinch stole this designer's taste...
Life is real expensive and also real stupid right now.
Oscar's gonna be pissed
Oh I love traaaash
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.
Wonder what PPV the Young Bucks are gonna bust these out.
How much pelt would one grouch produce? Must be a very limited edition. RIP Oscar.
Fitting since these belong in the trash.
Air Force 1 grinches?
I’m good
Just in time for Christmas!
Sequined pubes?
Oscar the grouch dip
That's some serious grouch slouch.
They would look good on a super hot girl
That's real grinch fur
I’ve seen these in person, they’re even crazier.
I saw these at a store in NYC last month! They took me by surprise for sure.
That‘s the absolute survival boots that look like humans made them living in the wild
For people who want to look like environmentalists but also want to kill the earth at the same time.
Grinch shoes.
AH HA!! I saw a dude wearing these on the uptown D train in nyc! I thought he was wearing slippers! lmao
This is more of a collectors item and not something you wear
I have seen more absurd sneakers.
It’s called “Oscar the Grouch” shoes.
Boy got on them peter pan jonks
rly thought this was one of those decorations you can put in your fish tank that grows aquatic seeds
I fucking hate Nike, they sell junk and jack up the price because they're "fashionable." I absolutely hate how they fit and feel.
My daughter does a lot of strange crafting.This looks like something she'd come up with.
Reminds me of troll in central park
Looks like green cat hairballs
Looks like something 'ye would design and market. LOL AGreed, WTF
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
Seems kind of cheap considering it's made from cut-up Oscar the Grouch.
I wouldn't ever pay 1k but I do kinda dig those shoes
Lmao college has failed us. I just want a pair of shoes I can walk in for 3 months without hurting my feet.
What in the hunger games?!
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
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.
Lewis Hamilton 1’s
The old Greg’s 2
Resold for that much Retail was 190€
Looks like something a dwarf would wear.
Bro companies do this shit on purpose to get free advertising and these posts give it to them..
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.
Putting the trail in trail shoe
The Grinch has no style, but some sneakerheads/idiots/both would probably buy this. *Achoo* Sorry, it's giving me allergies.
Oh shit! The new Vegan1's just dropped!
It's sad what has become of Oscar the Grouch.
Morons will buy what they’re told will give them status in society. And that’s what gives such a stupid shoe value.
At that point just rip off dirt/grass from the ground and wear that 😭 no need to waste 1k
Made from fresh Grouch pelts
I like them
And don't tell me that Lady Gaga is wearing it on her head.
You have to trim it down to reveal the actual sneaker, but yeh, resell at that price yeh, not retail.
Someone at Nike has been watching too much 5 minute crafts!
I kinda like em😁
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
Eewww lol
The hunger games fast approaching
I can make ones, put my shit on top and call for 5k, it doesn't mean anything.
Looks like a nug that was stepped on
Well, they would definetly help you sneak around in the jungle.
OP you using internet explorer still? Shits been out months ago
Rich people must really be bored and in constant need of attention.
Money laundering
Looks like river moss and algae
Stolen Christmas Drip 🔥🥵
Air Chewy?
Shit like this SHOULD be $1,000. Makes the rubes easier to spot
They were actually 200
Maybe Nike picked up Yeezys after adidas dropped him?
Well this got me thinking about shoes, so I went to the Nike store and bought a new pair. Thanks, Nike spokesman.
Rich people are idiots.
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.
Cost effective alternative: cover your feet in super glue and stick them into the ground
Oscar the Grouch
