A pint is $10. I feel your pain to a degree, but we're cheap compared to Brazil. Our malls are full of Brazilian tourists.
How much are Nikes there?? I am still appalled.
I don't know - they're not nearly as big here as they are in Brazil, they're just another brand of running shoe, and I buy my running shoes in the US to have more options in my size (40 is giant here). Most international clothing brands are probably 10-20% more here than in the US, and technology can be almost twice the price.
