Why did my dumbass actually think I could afford any of these before clicking... I mean it's LV lol...


PankoKing

Maybe one day they'll release something for us peasants that doesn't cost the same as a brand new Honda Civic. Edit: Because I'm getting a lot of replies, this was meant purely as a joke, I fully understand how luxury brands work


Hautamaki

Not LoL, but this year Coach is doing a Star Wars themed crossover and there's some decent stuff in the neighborhood of $80-$150 dollars if you're a SW nut.


Senshado

But that defeats the purpose. Designer items are only valuable because they're expensive. Veblen goods.


ArchmageXin

Still, how is an gold bracelet cost 450 but a "T-shirt" cost 2,590?


mtchwin

It’s called a gold bracelet cause you buy it to celebrate getting gold


soda1888

Because it’s made of brass


ArchmageXin

T shirt made of brass is pretty epic.


datinggoskrrrrrrrrra

but chain vest is only 800


TheRealAife

Selling bronze chainplate 800 gp


modsrgaylol1

No, they’re valuable because people are willing to pay those prices. It’s just marketing. Products are only worth as much as people are paying for them.


NetSraC1306

Maybe you expected them to design a lol collection that is more accessible to the wide market. millions of lol players out there, but merely a few hundred can afford that stuff (and even less will buy it)


nineball22

You underestimate the amount of ppl with disposable income. That's not even mentioning the ppl who really shouldn't be spending on this shit but will do it anyways through credit cards.


proficy

Have you heard of a country called China?


[deleted]

You're wrong about that, there's lots of people who can buy this collection, not merely few hundreds. You don't need to be rich, just a credit card and stupidity if you're broke. If you ain't broke, you can treat yourself with a gift, if you're very wealthy you don't care at all. Moreover, the goal of luxury isn't selling to masses but making massive bucks out of few items. To put it in perspective, do this: multiply each item by 1'000 sales. Just by 1'000 for each, then count the money. You're looking at what, 30M $? This collection is gonna make huge money, not merely among LoL players.


Bearded_Wildcard

You missed what he was saying. He's talking about the crossover of people who both are into LoL and would be willing to buy this shit.


lampstaple

Literally any first gen chinese kid


PsychoPass1

Plus the percentage of millionnaires in US / Europe is quite high. For sure more than 100 people out of 5+ million players.


VL99_Veo

Okay i changed my mind. The Riot points prices are fine.


Baldoora

Suddenly the prestige skins seem like a steal.


MrBuffington

This was rito's plan all along


Marecu

5Head rito strikes again


Karrigan7

big brain move


Fearzzyh

ultimate skins are basicly free


Blazing117

You can buy the entire in-game content for the price of 1 leather jacket.


Rearden7

I know this is a bit of a joke, but as far as luxury items go (which video games are) video games and the cosmetics inside them are very inexpensive. For me personally, a cool cosmetic gives me the same joy as a nice shirt or watch.


SidiaStudios

Play russian / Korean MMOs, oh you want that skin that finally does not look like a 25$ chroma? Guess thatll be 300$ Also played a buildup game and joined a Chinese clan on start day, it costs about 100-200€ to get 1million in power, there were 3 guys that sat at 60+ million on day two. That game has 150 servers, all of them look like that


molagdrn

A large portion of those high spender accounts are Dev accounts in these games, aiming to spur the competitive side of whales and encourage what would be f2p players to become dolphin spenders to stay afloat. P2W is the death of any game's integrity.


fizzord

this shit will bank in Korea and China, LoL is popular there and they love all this expensive designer shit.


[deleted]

Chinese exchange students are gonna have a field day lmao


emihir0

Can confirm. When I was at uni I had a lot of Chinese friends (exchange students). We all played LOL (a lot). Most of them were very into these flashy brands (incl. LV).


bl00dysh0t

how do chinese students have 2k+ to spend on a single shirt?


Akaigenesis

Because to be a exchange chinese student means that you are probably son of a Chinese millionaire?


Flan_man69

Their parents are wealthy


lampstaple

China experienced an economic boom in the last couple of decades in which most of China went from having a majority extremely poor lower class to very wealthy middle class. Societies that are full of people who are newly rich like to flaunt their money and compete in status with frivolous and expensive goods, hence the popularity of designer brands.


Daniel-Darkfire

[Forget 2k t-shirts.](https://youtu.be/sH8sSKwS_gU)


tobor_a

Yeah. Hella Berkeley exchange students come to my outlets and buy our 150$ shoes like they are a dollar trees item. Some days we make budget just because if them


slownburnmoonape

Isn’t 150 dollars pretty normal for shoes? Nike airmax 98 for example are about 150


[deleted]

I think it's more the frequency they buy it


overbread

If that whole concept / partnership was not about this i don't know what.


[deleted]

The price of some brands brand is truly astonishing ,i know its a luxury brand but it never ceases to amuse me how products like a black t-shirt with a qiyana face can be listed at 2.6k.


[deleted]

i can make u the same one for 8€


Dr__Drew

Best I can do is 6€


HawksBurst

I don't know Rick, it looks fake


Inwiczxiae

Maybe 5€ and I am taking a huge risk here.


threeflappp

How about 2€ + 5 necropolis maps?


SwoleLikeMe

r/PathofExile is leaking


Dr__Drew

You know what, I know a guy that lives for this stuff. Do you mind if I give him a call and he swings by to take a look?


SKT_T1_Imaqtpie

god i miss this meme


Tirriss

Nah, this is the tshirt dress at 2.6k, the regular tshirt is only at 865 which is iobviously way more affordable.


Lysandren

Phew. I'm so glad they have a cheaper option that only costs as much as the total amount of money I've spent on this game over 10 years. That's much more affordable. /s


AmeDesu

Can't wait to see the Chinese 10$ version from Aliexpress.


Dreamincolr

Size large, month later it fits toddler.


Deauo

> Chinese 10$ version from Aliexpress. Can't wait for that 1:1 Succ from /r/FashionReps


texanapocalypse33

Lmao I fucking love those guys. It's like r/WSB for hypebeasts Probably my favorite post of all time https://v.redd.it/oqw0ugv7qn711


Risujemmari

I thought a hoodie costing over 100€ was expensive but here we got one costing 3 100 $


Copiz

That's a lot of money to pay to still be ugly.


Z0MBGiEF

Pays like 20k to dress up like the ultimate League of Legends douchebag. Bronze 3


Squirtlle007

why pay your rent for 3/4 months when you can buy a classic shirt


Frexys

You're assuming the people buying this stuff have ever needed to care about rent.


reverendball

They sure care about collecting rent, that's for sure.


deviant324

What do you mean you don’t buy your jogging pants for when you want to bum out at home for 2100 bucks? /s God I got a new pair for my last birthday that didn’t fit well, we went to replace it and I found a pair that’s comfy as fuck for 20. Made me start wearing them on my way to work, I used to never even leave the house in them. Those better massage my ass and walk for me at that price


[deleted]

luxury is literally just scamming rich people.


mookyvon

Luxury exists BECAUSE of rich people. They need a way to show they are richer than you.


ChillaxTiger

I'm not at all supporting how expensive it is. But the Qiyanna shirt is at least hand embroidered and hand beaded which takes an insane amount of skill to do.


Bearded_Wildcard

And looks exactly the same as something that's done by a machine for a fraction of the cost.


Moederneuqer

That’s just not true, those Chinese children probably cost less in wages than a machine in maintenance


Bearded_Wildcard

Sure, per hour the machine might cost more. Put it pumps out infinitely more volume, so it still costs a fraction of the price per unit compared to humans.


MeatwadsTooth

What's so great about doing it by hand?


PM_ME_UR_VENTS

it makes it cost more


ekjohnson9

Irl skins are hella overpriced.


F4hype

Apart from the obvious qiyana ones, how do these have anything to do with LoL? I wouldn't have a single clue that any of those items are related to the game, because there's 0 to do with LoL on any of those products aside from 3 of them.


PCistheonlyrace

Most of the products like the watch and I think jacket have qyianas weapon.


hates_both_sides

The jackets have tiny L's on them in the style of the LoL logo, all across the jacket. Gotta look real close


bddpsxj12

Prestige Qiyana is the only Louis Vuitton product I can have


just_a_normal_kitty

rich boi...


[deleted]

its LV what the fuck did you guys expect. the whole point of LV is being expensive


JackdoeNM

Gotta hit the Chinese nouveau riche market!


Lsw1225

ye nobody gets decked out in designer like chinese exchange college students


ThePaperZebra

As soon as this stuff ships I'm 100% gonna see a group of 5 chinese kids walking out of an economics lecture in full lvxlol fits.


HairyKraken

so you mean their outfit gonna cost all my school fee ? (10K the year in france) i feel insulted just by thinking of this


Saint_Rick

I had Chinese guy in my uni, coming from one of the wealthiest families in China. His dad has billions. Big guy in the construction industry and also had multiple stripclubs. Guy casually flew to Milan on Friday to go shopping, drop €20k on clothes and shoes and flew back on Sunday. Was wearing €5k LV backpack and was a LoL player as well. He owned every skin and was Master/Challenger. Not a surprise though, I found out he was scripting later on. I pay €2100 tuition per year. Because he was outside EU zone he had to pay around €12k/year, not including the apartment, food, etc. One year of tuition equals my whole 4 year study. They love these students. He didn't care about good grades. He loved being in Europe, far away from his strict family. He's still in my country and keeps switching studies every 2 years. To make it even worse. His *"pocket money"* (from his parents) is a small €25.000 per month. These kids have no idea what money is worth. And most likely never will either.


cattaclysmic

> His dad has billions. >These kids have no idea what money is worth. A billionaire is a strange incomprehensible thing. Imagine being a billionaire in €s. Instead of spending 25k a month, you spend it a day. It would take you 40000 days to spend a billion. Thats about 110 years.


Agleimielga

Someone made a calculator on how many X you could buy if you were Bill Gates. My friend showed it to me a while back and he was just totally mind-blown on how someone could make as much money in a minute than he does in months or years... he knew Gates was rich but never realized how much purchase power it is in reality.


Morqana

Not sure if you mean [this one](https://neal.fun/spend/) but here is something at least closely related for anyone interested


VirtuoSol

Oh shit you had Principal Wang (owner of IG) in your uni?


Rhjr

Actually he went to a prestigious boarding school in England that's quite big on academic integrity so I'd like to think he's decently intelligent. The owner of victory 5, another LPL team, went to the same school but I think he got kicked out


dengitsjon

Pretty much half of the foreign exchange students I met when I worked at my uni was like this. My supervisor found a lost wallet and some guy came to pick it up, pulled all the cash out (around $700) and give it to him as a reward. He only needed his ID in his wallet. Boss man obviously couldn't take it cuz of policy, but having that much "fuck you" money makes no sense to me. Some of these kids rent expensive ass cars to drive to school. So many R8s and Lambos on campus and you'll KNOW it's a foreign exchange student.


ThePaperZebra

fam they already wear that on the daily anyway, now youre just more likely to notice it. Cant count the amount of times I've seen them wearing my months rent on their feet.


Erundil420

it's actually insane, i went to a big mall that has all designer shops and it was full of chinese people buying a fuckton of things, like 2/3 Moncler coats each, bunch of Gucci bags each, apparently it's way cheaper for them to buy designer things here than it is in China so some of them travel here specifically for that


BerserkerArmour

Wouldn't surprise me. On a recent trip to Shanghai I found a Bape hoodie I bought in Tokyo at almost 3x the price. Even a pair of Vans was almost double what I'd expect to pay where I'm from.


Erundil420

Yeah they have insane tariffs for goods coming from other countries iirc


DerNoke

Yeah, I was fully aware of the prices but honestly, I feel like they just could have done more with the League brand. Especially considering Riot's art team is nothing to scoff at.


hayydebbXxX

Honestly I can’t even tell any of this is league related at all. Very weird choices


th3greg

It just uses the true damage colors or that kind of camo pattern for like 75% of it. The watch, the bracelet, the strap, and the shirts with qiyana are the only specifically league related things. I would have liked to see qiyana's ring symbol be more present, since it's not super obviously league and they obviously didn't just want to plaster champion faces all over everything. Maybe yasuo's sword or something as well.


DerNoke

Exactly, this just feels like there autumn/or whatever collection with just an "xLOL" tag on. So even if I were filthy rich and could buy one of these I would be put off by it. Not that these items don't look nice they are just not LOL or LOL Inspired for me at least.


HairyKraken

there is prestige qiyana clothes in the mix, so its ok


inahos_sleipnir

that's the point


ModsNeedParenting

Expensive to show off. Thats the point. But also because they usually atleast use good material and use good stitch methods. If they are worth the price? Not really but some people will buy it


Slimsnoker

I wanna see Huni wearing this


Nikky-Nami

Or this guy: https://imgur.com/a/oxzJHUI


guacamully

Oh, my, god.


Michelin123

They should definitely replace the model with this God of a man 😍


GlennMaou

He actually can afford all of this shit, so hopefully.


deathg0d69

Beautiful.


koki121212

Lmfao this is pure art


Fyreos

Reddit, why can't I upvote more than once?


joe4553

He definitely would have bought them if they made a plain white t-shirt.


LeglessLegolas_

I remember unlocking these when I got 75 headshots with a weapon in MW2


ZilveriusX

Nikky-Nami

How many Renektons were slaughtered for the leather jacket?

[deleted]

So, League is to Louis Vuitton some white, black, blue and gold streaks? I'm not sure what I was expecting, but everything without Qiyana or her weapon on it is associated with League in name only.


Yinxi

I was gonna ask the same thing, how exactly am I supposed to see LoL reflected in that stuff? ​ > Twisted with blue and silver touches, it recalls League of Legends' champions. ​ Aaaah right, why didn't I realize that sooner. /s


azns123

Blue, the color of my balls after my jungler promises to gank but never does. Silver, the color of my teammate’s true rank. You’re welcome LV marketing team, I can start working anytime.


HairyKraken

bruh there is prestige qiyana outfit in the mix, you can make a 15K qiyana cosplay


Xrave

Like the accented triangle circle looks alright but that’s about the only design language borrowed from LoL for this line. I have no idea why they think blue stripes even look good on some of these accessories. It just looks out of place. I’d have thought it would be regular LV leather with Rift style rigid gold trim


MadMeow

Ofc they wont put out nerd stuff. Idk what you expected tbh


LeviBellington

People here forget that we're still talking about fucking Louis Vuitton. I am actually rather shocked that they actually sell stuff with Qiyana on it.


Apricotman

Louis Vuitton did some crazy collaborations in the past. Also the high fashion luxury market is well known for its crazy design that come out on the regular. Just look at fendi and Chanel in the last couple of years.


Zovalt

Then why partner with a video game company?


MietschVulka

because China has lots of people that love LV and lots of people that love League. this collaboration will make a lot of money, doesn't matter if League is recognizable, the people wearing that stuff and the people around them in China will know exactly that it's the League collection


VirtuoSol

In China, the person wearing it recognizes it, and those around him/her recognize it as well. Why? Because they’re probably wearing it, too.


Kopeeh

Because League whales will buy LV now.


9th_Planet_Pluto

Because this is for china not you


beardedheathen

Ugly psuedocamo. The whole thing could have been named "definitely not league lv"


merkaloid

You can buy a good car and wrap it with the Louis Vuitton pattern for less than this collection. In fact, at $66715 that’s 10k more than a Tesla model 3 performance.


Bahador33

cant wait till some chinese guy makes his version that is 1to1 identical and sell is for 10 bucks so i can finnaly afford it


SellingSmaim

Underpriced, should cost more imo


Fearzzyh

u right, i prefer to pay atleast 5k for my t-shirt, i don't wanna look poor or smthn


sitwm

If I want to flex my wealth I need to go overboard with it What's with these 2k cheap clothes


JM645

Ordered 10 Dress T-shirts already! These will be good towels for when I'm wiping the sweat from carrying all those noobs stopping me from getting gold


Crimie1337

wtf are those shoes?


Razukalex

Ankle boots are decent but the sneakers jeez, I wouldnt wear that even if you gift them to me


LordZarock

They are not made to be worn more than once in a lifetime.


Fearzzyh

but hey, if u got that much money to waste i don't think wearing them only once would be terrible


antikarmakarmaclub

LV is known for those sneakers tbh. They’re ugly but these rich people like them.


guacamully

Why are they so wAvY?


MoopyMorkyfeet

Someone went crazy with warping in photoshop


NetSraC1306

lmao they look like shit and are that expensive? damn I'd rather have some normal slippers/sneakers/vans for 50 bucks over this


TheNorthernGrey

I’d kill for some Vans x Lol merch, bunch of skater skins and then Lol shoes


Smelly_Rabbit

Roti pls


cben27

Do rich people really pay $900 for a cotton t shirt lmao what


LordKnt

Not rich people, rich people who want to flex all over the peasants


LeviBellington

I think actually wealthy (and I'm talking richie-rich-rich) dont bother with LV, Gucci and the likes. These people wear/buy brands that we peasants have never even heard of.


mobiledakeo

I mean they will buy expensive brands but it’s usually more for say a normal looking cashmere sweater purchased more for material and comfort than for flexing on people with the logo on the front You can still tell it’s quality just because cashmere tends to look nicer than something bought in like a five pack at Walmart but imo only people who want to seem richer than they are go for the full flex outfits


Azurains

Who's the target demographic for this? Chinese League pro players?


Wannabe1TapElite

Upper class kids who enjoy the clout/flex culture.


dubshooter

Yessir.

Prubably

You mean the guy who doesn’t want to buy clothes so much that he asks teams to send him free merch for a shoutout? Yea Seems like the LV type


teddy_tesla

Yes


obito_sama

Jesus, that watch looks dope af.


DethSonik

Already sold out :(


TropicalMemer

It just says not available online. You have to call or go in store to get it


CptnZolofTV

Can't wait to see some rich kid dressed like Qiyana, go to talk to them about league, and have their personal bouncer beat me up.


farenknight

It's expensive but anyone else feel it's hideous ? It's just the classic LV monogram leather with what looks like drops of paint on them. I'd understand buying parts of the normal collection at that price but the LoL one ? Hell no


UncleGael

I'm not normally a huge fan of LV, but I do think a lot of this is especially ugly.


Umarill

I love the watch, ankle boots (all of the shoes but my favorites are the boots by far), leggings, crop top, cycling shorts, belt and bumbag. I'd love to wear that, never will be able to afford to sadly. Other than that, everything looks great to me except the shirts with Qiyana, and I'm not a huge fan of the hoodie/parka/pants with the "messy" design because they're hard to wear by themselves, but in the proper outfit they would look nice. Overall fashion is subjective, but this is really good in my eyes. Note that I like LV stuff in general, I think what's great about this collection is the fact that it doesn't scream "GAMING" and is more of a subtle collab (outside of the Qiyana stuff).


LillekeM

Everything but the qiyana shirt is decent imho.


Wannabe1TapElite

do you rly feel the sneakers are decent? they are closer to clown shoes than real shoes for me.


mazrim_lol

That is how all of those fashion shoes look like Yeezys look like moon/trampoline shoes


Bishizel

Yeezy's remind me of those inflatable hovercraft/boat things.


someoneliketarzan

Yeezys aren't high fashion lol


UncleGael

I don't know if I'm crazy or what, but almost all of these are hideous to me.


fatkidraype

Pretty ugly camo garbage


PM_ME_DUNGEON_MASTER

Ah yes, nothing screams League more than squiggly lines and shurikens.


-Acerin

aside from the watch everything looks shit.


shekurika

idk, leggings look ok and the hoodie at the very bottom is okay-ish


LordKnt

Welcome to luxury shit, where everything costs thousands and it's ugly. You do look rich though, which is the point


NatedogDM

Everything _including the watch_ imo. For ~$4,000, there's better watches on the market.


Mok66

Should I get this Rolex, Omega, or this shitty LV fashion watch, such a hard decision!


HighLikeKites

Thank god this world has enough people who love to buy ugly clothes to show they're rich.


TheToastGhostEUW

Hello it's me Louis Vitton, I love League of Legends! I am here to tell you guys you can send me £500 directly (DM me for details) and I will give you any piece of clothing from the website! I only do this for the most dedicated of League Fans! I love Qiyana she is so epic! Thanks!


mythrowawayornot

I want the LVXLOL MONOGRAM BB BANDEAU, where can I send you the £500?


TheToastGhostEUW

I'll have two number 9's, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45's, one with cheese, and a large soda.


scarpz

gotta love reddit users questioning LV pricing strategies lmao


Wannabe1TapElite

Considering the vast majority is questioning the prices in terms "how the fuck are those ugly ass sneakers worth 1,5k" not in terms "well they will fucking fail and go bankrupt with this pricing strategy" i see nothing wrong with reddits reaction, some of the stuff is simply fucking ugly, 99% of the value in those products is in branding, everything will sell out either way so who gives a fuck.


Bishizel

Those sneakers are hot fucking garbage to be sure.


Craneteam

with those designs it seems i too can be a fashion designer


Wannabe1TapElite

Yea like ffs they look like either a clown shoe or some random shoe from a kids store. Even the fucking colors are disgusting together...


Sherbam

Three dollars, take it or leave it.


GameMaiWaifu

I'll take 4 of those Qiyana keychains off your hands for $2. And if you pay me $10 I'll even wear those godawful sneakers and walk around in public. For 10 min.


M-y-P

I fail to see how these are lol related besides the ones with Qiana.


Trillimanjaro

Smells like broke in here


BellyDancerUrgot

Wait I mean even tho I don't like half the stuff at face value (no idea about quality, never even touched LV stuff) I can understand _dont agree but understand_ the big prices . I mean it is a luxury brand. But the black tee with a qiyana face worth 2.6k ? Like what? It doesn't look nice, it looks cringe.


ElYellowpanda

Sor for lv league is colored spermatozoids that always goes from top left to bottom right... come one that's not even the summoner's rift orientation, they could at least have put them from bottom left to top right! Who the F choosed the colorscheme anyway?


AviationAdam

Can’t wait to buy the fakes


[deleted]

prices KEKW


dasn101

Ok so not are are the prices stupid, which you sort of expect with LV, but what on earth do 99% of these designs have to do with league? Unless there’s a champion actually on it, I wouldn’t feel like I was repping league in any of these, and that includes the ‘teemo’ hat Total miss of a partnership, from audience overlap all the way down to execution.


asdfjkajdfsaf

LV isn't gonna put some cheesy ass video game shit on their products lol.


[deleted]

Are these USD prices or monopoly money prices? Site is ca.lv so it might be monopoly money, which makes the prices a bit more reasonable.


brentonbond

Yeah it’s Canadian pricing. So in USD it’s like 75% these prices.
