The White Shirt That Wasted a Fortune
Everyone in a closet has one (or two) white shirts tucked away. They’re the bread‑and‑butter of everyday style – and they rarely cost more than a few bucks. That’s because, honestly, most people are fine with a plain tee that never hits the $100‑plus mark.
Enter the Fortnite 2021 Shirt — Large Fit from Balenciaga
Picture this: a brand‑new, long‑sleeve white shirt, decked out with Fortnite slogans, costing US$995 (or S$1,344). No one’s kidding – it’s a plain, lumpy plain shirt, but you’re willing to pay the price for the label.
The Questionable Value Proposition
Let’s be honest – if you’re thinking, “Is it worth throwing down almost a thousand dollars for a shirt that looks like the bulletin board at a coffee shop?” – your gut says you’ll probably buy it, or you simply need a straight‑up excuse for what’s essentially a luxury shirt. Still, you might also be wondering, “What else can I buy for that money?” A brand‑new PS5, a stack of decent tees, or a slice of restaurant‑quality pizza.
Beyond the Design
The only real creds this shirt has are the luxury label and the “engraved buttons” that scream “I/O.” One could imagine Balenciaga throwing in a diamond‑studded laundry tag with your initials written in 24‑carat gold, or maybe a tiny blingy cinderblock pad of the Fortnite logo. Because why not? The possibilities are endless!

Bottom line? If you’ve got the cash to spare, go for it – it’s a fun conversation starter. But if you’re on a budget, a plain white tee will still keep you looking sharp without breaking the bank.
