It still amuses me that people are willing to spend so much on these. In Brazil these are the equivalent of dollar store sandals. (I mean in price not quality)

When was the last time you were in Brasil to buy these? While they did cost the equivalent of $3 back in 2002-2003 when the exchange rate was $R4:$1US, currently they are the equivalent of $6-12US depending on which you purchase. The only reason they are as cheap as they are is because EVERYONE wears them, from the bums on the streets to the CEOs. If they had that kind of use here they would be just as cheap.

I am not sure how much it would cost to order a run of green ones with the FW logo on top
Legitimate Havaianas are still made in Brasil, there have been poor excuses at knock-offs since the 1970s, including most of the flip-flops sold at WalMart today.

I shopped for these in Sao Paulo and Rio earlier this year for gifts. They ranged from ~$10us at the local supermarket (very similar to WalMart) to over $20 at airport and hotel giftshops.
The reason they are so expensive is because Brazil is very very good at restricting imports. Checking out the malls, all imported goods appear to be double in price or more....
The quality is about the same as cheap $2 Chinese flipflops. (I'm not bashing Chinese goods, but the cheapest flipflops do indeed come from China).
