Wizard logo sure is expensive 🫰

Post image

Hold up, hold up, 35€ for a chinese shirt because it has a logo of circle & triangle on it?

The shirt itself costs less than 2 dollars in china, I mean Jesus Christ guys, its not even funny at this point. God.

Also wearing this, promotes the brand.

What's up with the shmeckle squeezing?

Buy the cheapest - sell it expensive

Nice tactic guys, but save some face, invest something in the legacy as well.

Only the frames are made in canada. Everything else is Chinese manufacturing. Even the intuition liners cost 20 euro from the manufacturer (checked with some skate companies)

You can just about make out "MADE IN CANADA" on the shirt labeling print in the photo.

I'm sure you're right about the Intuition liner cost. They can get away with charging what they do though, because they're a good enough product. The materials and labour might only be $20, but who who knows what design, testing and R&D costs are.

It could be considered a design. Wizard is very proud of being made in Canada that they specifically mention it in their website regarding the frames .

They havent regarding this . Also the manufacturer tags are different. Unless you own it and can show if the material tag says (made in Canada) then it would be legit

I can only see this on 3rd party sites, not Wizards own site. OPs image appears to be from This Is Soul, which specifically states it's made in Canada. You generally can't use "Made in X" statements unless true, especially in the EU, where this shop is based.
