Without doubt!But is it wildly expensive?
same goes for overpriced moncler jackets and amiri jeans... You can make the argument for pretty much any off white/ nike sneaker. What about dior hoodies for $1700 - are they worth it? C'mon there is a market for these items and people buy them - ridiculous sure but worth discussing I am not sure...

But you came here anyway! Thanks.
Makes sense, sort of. But, for me, in a degenerated way. I grew up in the 1970s in a European nation. We had to have tracksuits for our compulsary school gyms, so I went through three or four as I grew. These tracksuits were made in the same style as the current expensive ones. Us boys were not very fond of these. We rather wanted the ones that top athletes used, and we never used them for anything but sports. Then sometime in the 1990s tracksuits reappeared. They got a new name - grilling suits - as they apparently were used by some in their leisure time. Noone I knew wore tracksuits. I saw them sometimes in petrol stations and shopping entities selling cheap goods. These tracksuits were obviously not expensive, but the point I am getting at is that in my country they came to represent a social group - class, if you like - who did not care how they looked. Maybe things have changed, but I do not think so.
In many other ways we have Americanised and wear jeans and t-shirts and a variety of other «liberal» styles. Ralph Lauren is very popular.
Oh, but tracksuits from Stephano Ricci is something like $3-8000. I would not have started this thread on the basis of $400 track pants.
