He was buying overpriced shoes, you see. Every luxury that I don't want is stupid.

Well it only has one use and that's to be a shoe, the quality of which is perfectly available that doesn't cost 10 times as much because it's colorful or has somebody's name on it.

But it's fine I'm sure that the kids working in the sweatshops in India or China don't mind that they're only making pennies on the dollar for the product which is then subsequently enormously marked up in order to profit some rich asshole.

So yeah it's stupid because it's a shoe that costs too much.
