Yep, Gucci is invading the skiing market with their own pair of goggles. I am not feeling the design at all, but to each his own. They are priced at $195.

That is what I thought; you're really just paying for the brand name.

That is the price when they are on sale. $400 is retail.

They will make the gapers easier to spot though.

...does it mean im from jersey if i kinda like those?
because i do, i really do. although i would never buy them.

also, the guci goggles fucking suck. you can buy goggles that look just like those in the shop at my mountain for somewhere in the neighborhood of twelve dollars.

Thanks.

A few kids on our basketball team are obsessed with that song and the whole, so I have been hearing "BRRR" all the time in practice and the weightlifting room.

hahha, we had a night we went to a bar (here in the bronx) and were hammered, and decided we werent gonna do anything but quote gucci the entire night. managed to order drinks and somewhat hold conversation (what we remember/heard) just from brrr, whadamn, wayhhhh, and song lines. prolly had to be there though to find this funny. gotta love being the awkward white kids.

Just think though.  Companies the Ed Hardy, Gucci and Yniq aren't catering to us, the freeskier population.  Jon might be an incredible skier, but he is catering to those he lives around....in Monaco.  I'm guessing those people that have a car collection worth more than most of us will see in our lives and spend thousands a night on a hotel room in Aspen or Chamonix aren't going to be trading Crowbar parts anytime soon.  They want something exclusive and high class.
Maybe the Gucci and Ed Hardy goggles don't look like anything special, but people will pay.  I know that will definitely be the case with Yniq.

^^this

and those gucci goggles look like gordinis that my dad used to have. pretty much blah except for the strap that says "gucci." but definitely not as fly as whats on the market now from the top-end manufacturers.

the ed hardy gogs are deese, except they say ed hardy and therefore suck. before those clothes became the exclusive style of guidos and white trash they were cool. maybe when they're retro i'll rock those goggles.

Gucci couldn't find a supplier that makes better looking goggles? Those are horrid.

Do we even know what the price of Jons goggles are gonna be? Im pretty sure i saw Jussi Oksanen wear them in an edit from Bear, so maybe Jon's target customer isn't upper class people? Just a thought.

I never said that it was a lot, just stated that they cost $195.

From what I can see in the pictures though, it seems kind of expensive.
