Bad product at exorbitant pricing

About 6-7 months ago I bought a pair of sneakers .art number D***. charcoal Carder pro. Although worn a few times and washed 3 times . I did not anticipate such poor quality . The pleather has started chipping off and this not my only pair of G-Star shoes however my worst ever buy . I doubt if the pricing was even appropriate for shoes that have not even lasted a year . The brand seems to have left a bitter taste in me and even though they were bought at a store that is not exclusively G-Star, I am sure the brand consented to the store selling this low quality product that I have also seen at G-Star stores . I am now doubtful of purchasing anything of this brand that was once my ultimate favourite leisure wear . I hope anyone that gets to see this post will think twice before spending a small fortune on something that will not bring them any joy or satisfaction of owning it.
