Aaron_SThat's the idea of Massdrop though, right? If someone had told me a few years ago that I could get some new HD650 headphones for $199 I would've said "no you can't".
Either way, these look like decent shoes for a decent price if you live in the US, but for me, living in another country, the import duties and fees on footwear mean it's cheaper for me to buy some Church's shoes at retail pricing locally.
SmithyNZYes, that is the idea behind massdrop. To group buy to get the price down so that peoole can try out more expensive products at discount.
However, Carmina shoes still don’t get below $200. Might find on their website shoes going for $275+ In the outlet category.
Massdrop basicslly gets MTO shoes at close to Outlet prices. All things considered its a pretty good deal so long as you like the style. I am not a fan of wingtips or full brogue so I had to pass.
