There may be a few schools of thought on why the Payless faux boutique stunt has attracted so much attention this week, with its videos of Los Angeles fashionistas paying $600 for $20 shoes going viral within hours of launching on social media.
One: It’s a brilliant marketing move that calls attention to stylish footwear at bargain prices and shakes up popular (and stale) opinion about a retailer that’s been around since the late 1950s.
Two: It’s a sharp jab in the eye to influencers willing to shell out big bucks for pedestrian products.
