£60 is crazy, of course, but between production cost and sale price, there's 20% VAT to government, shop overheads, transportation and much more.
Nike take a huge cut, for sure. Gotta fund their enormous marketing budget somehow.

Advertised as 'slim fit' when it's not, and a weird cut (as confirmed when players wore it). Bit of a sh1tshow, really.

Dur-dur, Dur-dur-dur-dur, Dur-dur…
He came from a German city which is on the Rhine
Dur-dur, Dur-dur-dur-dur, Dur-dur…
To become our greatest player of all time...
