Italian designer Gucci is charging an eye-watering £615 ($870) for a pair of dirty-looking trainers which come in a range of stained colours with scuff marks.
意大利時裝品牌古馳（Gucci）給一款看起來髒兮兮的運動鞋定下615英鎊（870美元）的聞者落淚的售價，它呈現出髒撲撲的顏色和帶有磨損痕跡的效果。
The pair of men's Screener leather trainers "reference old school shapes" and were "influenced by classic trainers from the 70s," according to the Italian fashion house.
按照這家意大利時裝品牌的說法，這款男士Screener皮革運動鞋“參照了復古造型”，受到了70年代經典運動鞋的影響。
For £615 ($870), the designer trainers boast a "vintage, distressed effect" and feature off-white leather.
615英鎊（870美元）的售價底氣源於這款時尚的運動鞋對“復古、做舊”和以米白色皮革爲特色的標榜。
Gucci's website says: "A pastiche of different influences that span across decades, the Cruise 2019 collection references old school shapes and materials inspired by vintage sportswear.
古馳官網說：“Cruise 2019系列是長達幾十年的跨度裏不同影響的一個集錦，借鑑了復古運動裝的經典造型和元素。”
"Influenced by classic trainers from the '70s, the Screener sneakers — named for the defensive sports move — feature the Web stripe on the side and vintage Gucci logo, treated for an all over distressed effect."
“受70年代經典運動鞋的影響，這款Screener運動鞋——以防禦性體育運動命名——以側面的網紋和經典的古馳標誌爲特色，整體呈現做舊效果。”
However, since being advertised online the trainers have been mocked on social media, with one shopper saying: "I've got a few filthy stained pairs like this left abandoned in the garden shed."
然而，自從在網上宣傳以來，這款鞋就一直在社交媒體上被吐槽，一位購物者說：“我早就丟了好幾雙像這樣髒兮兮的鞋到花園棚子裏了。”
One person branded them "disgusting," while another wrote: "They're filthy. I don't think many fashion victims would want to spend that much on something that looks like it was thrown away 20 years ago."
一邊有人定義它“有特色”，而另一邊有人寫到：“它們髒兮兮的。我覺得很多時尚達人都不會花那麼多錢買個看起來20年前就被丟掉的東西”
Another pair of Gucci trainers with the same eye-watering price tag is the Rhyton trainer, a tennis shoe which has also been designed to appear dirty with the brand's "vintage, distressed effect."
古馳家還有一款和這款一樣有着難以接受的高價運動鞋，Rhyton球鞋，它是一款網球鞋，同樣設計成髒兮兮的樣子，有着古馳式的“復古和做舊”。
Last year, luxury brand Golden Goose was accused of "glorifying poverty" for selling a £428 pair of trainers designed to look worn out with a piece of "tape" purportedly holding the shoe in place.
去年，奢侈品牌Golden Goose因出售一款售價428英鎊的運動鞋而被指責“美化貧困”，這雙運動鞋設計成被穿舊的效果，據稱是用一段膠帶將鞋固定住。
Critics said that the design was "peak capitalism.
"評論家們稱這款設計爲“資本主義的末路”。
