Luxury equivalents are available for nearly every type of item if you’re above a certain tax bracket. With cash (and perhaps dignity) to burn, you can splurge on a $1,300 jump rope, a $90,000 Supreme trailer, and even four-figure camping gear. Nothing may bring more joy, however, than an $18,000 ping-pong table and its matching paddles — the latter of which is sold separately for $465 each, of course.
Designed by Casablanca — the luxury house behind an early New Balance collaboration that helped spearhead the shoemaker’s comeback — the ping-pong table was built in partnership with professional table tennis equipment brand Butterfly, meaning it isn’t an amateur player’s table. Serious ping-pongers can indulge in the International Table Tennis Federation-approved field of play with a scratch-proof and anti-skid top, although we’d suggest any genuine player forgo the five-figure table in favor of a regular Butterfly one (or this more hype Supreme version). Going off the table’s eclectic look, it’s safe to assume buyers are more interested in its design than using it to hit some balls around.
