Okay listen kid. Here is my advice. It is all relative. If your monthly income/net worth is very high 600 dollar sneakers are absolutelt okay (most people obv will never get there). I assume this is not the case as you are 21 and in uni. I am also a man of class and can appreciate a nice pair of sneaker but 600 is excessive. But sometimes being a stupid little spender with your money can be a valuable lesson in the long run - I used to spend money on 100 dollar perfumes, new clothes and shit mostly. So now I have this experience and have learned from it - it actually has made me better with money. So what you should do is buy a new pair of nice nikes/adis for a 100 and invest 500 or alternatively invest all 600.

All this overpriced clothing is targeted at trash people who will be poor forever. The only purpose of these brands is so that poor people can signal each other that they "have" money. Really expensive and good stuff is usually inconspicuous with logos barely visible if any.
If you really want to make it, use 20x rule when it comes to expensive nonvital stuff.
Want a $500 pair of sneakers? You better have $10k in your saving account.
Expensive things are nice and I have my share of luxury things, but at some point you will have to think real hard about your finances and where you want to be in 5 years.

Gucci sneakers are comfortable, that being said you can buy used ones for like $150-$300. After trying some new ones on and then buying them used there really is a difference from cheap $50 or less shoes. Though I've worn like $120 premium nikes and those are fairly close in comfort as well.
There is a point where its just diminishing returns on comfiness vs cost. I probably wouldnt pay $200 for a pair of shoes and even then itd have to feel like walking on pillows.
