Really? A hundred bucks for Chuck Taylors? Really?

Ok, from America to Puerto Rico to keep the price under ten bucks. That I understand. I don't get moving to China to keep them sub twenty or thirty but Im a consumer and not a bean counter.

And for SURE I don't get moving the factory to Mars or wherever it went to necessitate charging this much. I mean, the fact that they were the poorest quality, offered no foot support and came in white, black and eventually some primary colors, and again under a saw buck were their strongest endearing qualities. And everyone wore them. But at a C note there is a lot of competition even when my little girl (now well on her way to motherhood herself) looks at you with those must-have-them eyes.

Who knew that besides saving baseball cards and our GI Joe collections we needed to buy a few gross of these and stash them in the basement?
