Why are they so expensive?
Three factors combine: brand and materials (LV, premium leather, and monogram), Virgil Abloh's design (high cultural value), and real scarcity (few units and controlled distribution). Additionally, before retail, there was a charity auction launch with historical results that solidified their status.
Factors that raise or lower the resale price
- Specific size: Extremes (very small or very large) can be rarer.
- Colorway: "Triple White," "Patchwork," or Mids with graffiti tend to have higher demand.
- Condition: DS (Deadstock) vs. used. The more impeccable, the better.
- Complete set: Extras, accessories, and documentation add value.
- Timing: Peaks in demand during launches, anniversaries, or pop culture news.
How to buy without risk (authenticity)
- Check stitching quality, monogram engravings, and typographies on insoles.
- Request macro photos of the tongue, heel tab, eyelets, and lining.
- Verify numbering and internal labels are consistent with 2022.
- Avoid offers that are too low and demand proof of purchase if possible.
- If you have doubts, use independent legit check services.
