I’m fundamentally opposed to purchasing jeans which have been distressed or altered from looking clean and new in any way. Call me a traditionalist, but I believe jeans should look like they’re brand new when they come off the rack. I’m okay with different boot cuts and variants in color, but I think holes in the jeans, rhinestones of any sort, rips, tears, or fake mud on the jeans are all complete poppycock.
Now that you know how I feel about jeans I think we can all agree that I’m not the target customer Nordstrom has in mind for these $425 jeans splattered in fake mud. What I’m stuck on, however, is who in the fuck is their target customer for these fake mud jeans? Based on the comments/responses I’ve seen on Twitter and Facebook regarding Nordstrom’s fake mud jeans I’m not convinced there’s a single person on planet earth who wants these to exist:
nordstrom

As you can imagine, Twitter’s having a field day with this, as is Facebook:

I love @mikeroweworks comments on @Nordstrom new 'distressed mud jeans.' "People pay $425 to look like they crawled through a sewer. What?"

Here's your hot take: if people want to buy $425 fake mud jeans from Nordstrom, good for them, and good for Nordstrom's shareholders.

I could keep sharing these hot takes forever, but I think you bros get the point. Nordstrom’s hoodwinked everyone into talking about these broke ass jeans. What’s even more amazing, they’ve actually managed to sell some of these fake mud jeans for $425 a pop. That’s the world we’re living in. I thought Nordstrom was stupid for selling these jeans with clear plastic knees, and apparently nothing has changed.
