Bought shoes from Beckett Simonon for $150 each. Worth it? Or should I buy AE instead?

Lol 150 each so $300 a pair?

BS is a pretty amazing value for the style and quality. IMO above AE and can be half the price. The problem is the wait...it takes forever

Didn’t realize it takes 3 months...

You can get AEs for the same price right now

150 a pair

I bought BS too but I feel the quality of AE is dramatically higher and you have different size options so better fit

Solid shoes at an inexpensive price point -- great value. Mine aren't as nice (quality) or comfortable as my AEs, but they're solid.

BS makes some shoes that aren’t Goodyear welted, I’m not sure it’s their whole line or not. I would go with AE for a better value, BS if you’re just looking for a decent shoe that looks good and doesn’t break the bank. The value will come in the ability to resolve your AEs 3-4x and get way more life out of them vs a glued BS

BS use blake stitching and can be resoled.

Lost sense of maximizing points/mileage value for int’l flights. Why is Detla redeeming so much more for some routes than Chase UR and even other partner airlines? E.g. non-stop economy btw Detroit-Seoul // Delta redeeming 160k on its own route while Chase UR 123k & Korean Air 80k for same route (code share)... I get it all depends on timing but still weird directly using Delta Skymiles on its own Delta route is more expensive than going through other methods....

Sports Sponsorships
Hey everyone - I am currently in the process of evaluating a few sports sponsorships for a client. These are for minor league teams - nothing professional. Taking into consideration our marketing objectives, budget, etc. What are some good tips for pricing these out? Physical assets like billboards and programs are $$ but social media assets shouldn’t be *that* expensive.
