My dilema is the following I am really into fashion and ive really been liking a brand named offwhite. The point being that this brand made a collab with nike 10 shoes to be specific and now maybe some more variations during the year. Offwhite being a italian designer brand inclines onto leather with that said I have no chance of getting my hands on any pair of offwhite shoes not only because of their price (400+) but because of the animal materials. That being said only one shoe from the nike x offwhite collab is vegan, only one. This sneakers sell out in literal minutes because the demand is overwhelming so much so that a $190 pair of sneakers resell for about 2,000 dollars and I do not have that kind of money
With that out of the way nike announced more colorways on the previous models that initally released as part of the "the ten" collab and with the announcement came a new opportunity to get some variations of the shoes of the original release also my desired vegan show for only $160 retail( because of everything aforementioned)
Feeling my chances are pretty slim on the vegan ones not only because its only one model but also because its been rumored to be a surprise drop.I've been thinking about trying to buy one of the other sneakers, leather, if I am even able or lucky enough on the day they drop to later trade them for the ones i want.
And thats my issue that allthough i know its not vegan to buy animal products I feel this falls onto the case case vegan issues were you need to evaluate from a higher perspective and I think that it is in a sense different just because of the soaring demand, because nike knows and everybody knows does shoes are pretty much sold and resold compared to a supermarket where they need to restock every so often and they do not know if they will sell there whole supply. Maybe Im playing vegan gymnastics but I dont even plan on making any money off the shoes just trading them for the ones I want. Because they will be in the same price range or perhaps higher than the ones I want.
Please be honest and critical thats what this is all about and keep in mind Im here because I want to know your honest thoughts. THANKSS
