Lots of finance meme accounts reflect the "Patagucci" culture of finance - check out these - they frequently showcase "sleds" - $300+ (frankly, tasteless) Gucci and Ferragamo shoes that are sort of a "post-intern" status symbol. I follow these accounts to try and have a pulse on when the next recession will hit.

I could absolutely see why Patagonia wants to distance itself from these sorts of fratty, money-focused business cultures. Same with Venture Capital.

More than $300 gosh - in the City a lot of the ones crushing it are wearing £2800 hand made shoes.

Yeah, $300's like entry-level for good shoes if you're not importing from somewhere cheap (might get down into the neighborhood of $200 then) or shopping seconds or other bargains (again, down around $200). Or buying used I guess, which is A Thing.
