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）給一款看起來臟兮兮的運動鞋定下615英鎊（870美元）的聞?wù)呗錅I的售價，它呈現(xiàn)出臟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(fù)古造型”，受到了70年代經(jīng)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）的售價底氣源于這款時尚的運動鞋對“復(fù)古、做舊”和以米白色皮革為特色的標榜。

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(wǎng)說：“Cruise 2019系列是長達幾十年的跨度里不同影響的一個集錦，借鑒了復(fù)古運動裝的經(jīng)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(jīng)典運動鞋的影響，這款Screener運動鞋——以防御性體育運動命名——以側(cè)面的網(wǎng)紋和經(jīng)典的古馳標志為特色，整體呈現(xiàn)做舊效果?！?/div>

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(wǎng)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臟兮兮的鞋到花園棚子里了?！?/div>

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：“它們臟兮兮的。我覺得很多時尚達人都不會花那么多錢買個看起來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著難以接受的高價運動鞋，Rhyton球鞋，它是一款網(wǎng)球鞋，同樣設(shè)計成臟兮兮的樣子，有著古馳式的“復(fù)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(zé)“美化貧困”，這雙運動鞋設(shè)計成被穿舊的效果，據(jù)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(shè)計為“資本主義的末路”。
