Looks like my video upload broke all of youtube lol. Hopefully they fix this soon!!
Lmao I was about to say damn James
YOU did this!
It crashed. This is actually the ONLY thing I can watch. That makes Hes the King of CZcams.
hey itâs up now!
Yeah. Serious issues. All good now.
If someone is smelling your shoes you need new friends
If your friends allow you to rock fakes, you need better friends
@@lolmaorofl đ€Ł they are not fake. They actually are made with better materials hence the thicker cut in suede on the toe box and thicker heel tab. Those UAs will last longer than the retail pairs. Save your money and buy stuff that really matters #UASquad

i don't see how buying reps for personal use is bad. obviously trying to sell someone else your reps as retail is bad, but if i don't want to pay crazy aftermarket prices for a pair i just wanna rock, i'm all for reps.
Exactly! đđŒ
You could, but youâd always be an outsider still
@@lolmaorofl outsider relative to what? the "sneaker" community? that's the exact type of mindset sneaker companies want you to have. you realize reps and authentic pairs all come from the same source? factories that produce reps get their processes from the retail factories, sometimes the factories are literally right next to each other. it's all the same shit -- money being made off of cheap asian labor and sweatshops. if you're worried about being an "outsider", that's a childish and naive mindset.
@@drstevebrule69 can you not tell thatâs literally a child đ€Ł
@@lolmaorofl lmfao! Outsider? What kind of insecure fucktard are you? Man, go seek therapy.
I don't try to pass off my fakes as real, I don't really see the point cause I don't want them for the cred but just for the shoe itself. aside from that, to me the real demon here is the resell industry. I don't have that many fakes because most of what I like are GRs, but whenever I do want something limited and I don't hit retail I definitely am not going to contribute to the resell market so reps it is.
I dont understand the hate, people get the reps, to actually wear the product, and not sell. Sure you can be scummy and sell the fakes, but what is the difference between that and someone sell the real pairs for an inflated price too. Either way, you're getting ripped off.
I get that mentality for sure. I personally just like sneakers, most of my collection is GRs or outet sneakers, but I do buy expensive pairs as well because I do want them, and I prefer the real thing. If I hit on a pair at retail (that resells for lots of money) if i really like the sneaker i love that i got em and goes straight to feet. other pairs can be an investment, might resell for $500 but if I sold it would be the same as I paid, so no big deal. Fakes into the resale market trying to pass as real is where i have a problem. and some of these rep people think they are justified in tricking others since the materials are 90% the same (to them), that to me is a huge flaw.
@M K bro you Trollin in the comment sectionđ
@M K đ€Ą
Still fake though......
Yes, its possible. I reveal that with periclone replicas :)
For me , there was a long shot in hell getting them for retail . There's no chance I'm paying 800 or so on the resale market , and the fakes look almost identical , so I'm buying them . People buy the hype shoes for their looks , otherwise we'd all just wear no name shoes.
Pretty much reps arenât a big deal at all just the people that legitimately scam cause of how physically good looking reps are
They donât buy the hype shoes for looks man you are dead wrong, they buy them for perceived value.
@@heskicks you are right, but I rather spend 150 for the same thing ;)
@@heskicks Thatâs a little short sighted to assume everybody looks at a hype shoe for its value alone, thereâs just as many people buying reps of GRs đ€·ââïž
@@Icecube647 reps of GRs that they can buy the real pairs for at retail tho? Are the reps they buy less than retail? jW
Hes kicks the first person Iâm watching after CZcams being down
Cheers!
I was able to get the black pair from Nike SNKRS. The union logo on mine is closer to the fake pair than the real pair. About half of the union tag is underneath the plastic wing.
Thought I was the only one. CZcams's been acting up.
Anyway, love the content as always! đđ»
This is why o buy reps now.I love sneakers because itâs my passion.But man, we canât win because of all the back doors and bots or whatever.Thanks to repsneakers.BUT GUYS PLEASE DONT FOOL ANYONE.Donât sell it as a retail.Wear them.
They guys hating on fakes (most of my shoes are only >$100, GR or outlet) have to be younger than 16 or still in high school. As get older, you realize that itâs not that big of a deal, they are just for looks. But reselling them as real pairs is where he problem starts.
I am actually not a big fan of the silhouette (I tend to wear runners and not basketball sneakers), but I LOVE the guava ice colourway. So I copped a pair of the Adidas ZX 8000 in the vapour pink colourway. They have the a similar vibe to these Unions, and IMHO look way better on feet. Oh and I save HUNDREDS âșïž
I think they smell bad because they havenât been sitting in warehouse for a while and made new.
Thatâs literally what it is
Naw the glue is different. Even fakes that sit for a few months smell bad
@@GoopieG depends really
Incorrect I have retail F&F Fog 1âs and they smell like the reps lol
It really depends when the consumer gets them. Nike typically have the shoes already made and sitting in factory. The longer they are sitting the less bad smell. Just my opinion. Iâve had retail regular air max that smells as bad as replicas when I got them
Definitely need a comparison on those mochas ASAP please đđœ!!!
I like to hear your side of the comparison for UAs vs retails. Keep up the content đŻ
I live in both US and Vietnam. Canât speak on all UA. But I can tell you that almost all UA in VN, I get are just over production units from the same factory. Hence the âunauthorized authenticâ name. Iâve bought pairs that were unreleased until months later. As far as consistency, I guarantee you not all retail are that consistent either.
They look dope!
Well the UN/LA tag, isnât always beside these transparent wings. Depends on the size or the just the shoe.
wow these look scary good
It's funny that counterfeit companies are counterfeiting a shoe that was made to look a bit like a counterfeit in the first place.
CZcams is back boys......and no you didnât take it down lmao
love your wall , but can you do a side view of your shoes for an episode? that would be cool.
bro CZcamsâs down or something, I canât watch anything
yes
I saw that..... wtf!
@@heskicks ya dude it sucks! after struggling to watch anything in 360p I was watching stuff for 15 mintes in 144p before it gave up
Me to I took, it as a sign to go to the store
Air window looks longer on fake ones..unless im trippin...lol..u da man.!
The thickness on the suede cuts is inconsistent among retails and un/la tag is bit pushed back but nothing too crazy. Midsole color still a dead giveaway only if you have the shoe side by side but new reps are fixing that daily. I believe a rep maker has a near 1:1 with the proper qc.... Wear whatever you want with confidence.
The fact you have to add the word âconfidenceâ shows that there is none when internally you know your shit is fake lol
@@lolmaorofl I mean who are we to dictate what someone wears or what they choose to spend their money on. The only ppl that are bothered by fakes are resellers.
Yeah bro it's totally worth it tbh IDGAF about clout or authenticity. I know what I'm buying. And I'm not spending 2 grand when I could get the same thing for 50 and not be afraid to actually wear my shoes
@M K Bro canât wait to hear you speak at a panel at Fake Sneakercon 2021đ
Dude option B all the way! Mk said it inconsistencies are a 100 percent on every shoe.
Reselling / resellers is basically breaking the shoe industry, let's be honest
For a shoe to cost hundreds, thousands (hopefully not millions), this makes everyone else that really wants the shoe pay more for nothing.
Shoes are shoes, i have a mix of authentic and ua's why? Why the hell would i buy a banned j1 for 2 or 3 times the price if i can find ua that basically looks and feels the same, no one will know except you
The problem is if you pass it off as authentic, thats what will make it wrong, if ua dont sell it again buy for your own use
So I buy replicas from hypeboosts.com and I've saved lotta money
Exactly people care about other people opinions way too much !!! I have yellow fear of God 1s I bought for 1.3k now their worth 2.5k or more but also off white Air jORDAN 1s lol u buy what ever u wanna buy
where did you get these?
In China different areas have different factories that specialize in certain things. Like one area produces only buttons, another area is where all the sneaker factories are. So itâs not the same factory doing these itâs a separate one in the same area and they have a lot of machines etc
GzDatguy I never said it was one factory ur a real idiot man. Iâm saying certain areas specialize in certain products. One area will have mad sneaker factories. I said itâs a different factory but probably in the same area. You donât know shit my guy
GzDatguy my point was replying to the question hes had asked if they do it in the same factory. Personally I will say itâs not the same factory. I donât think they would risk their Nike contract but itâs factories near the legit ones doing it, like same area most likely Guangzhou. You can think what u want. I donât really care. And I got fam who do import export in Guangzhou.
GzDatguy Also u ever follow pk on IG they show them making it in the factory and the machines and process. I donât do fakes personally but I like to learn. And UA = Unauthentic, not Unauthorized. Well technically itâs unauthentic and itâs unauthorized lol
I think the UN/LA tags on these are a bit hit or miss even on retail, my guavas from Union have the tags slightly less exposed than on your pair. Everything else you mentioned on the fakes are definitely noticeable though. Funny how the fakes have thicker suede cuts đ
The thicker suede makes the shoe less flexible, and an easy call out
My original pair straight from Union has the union tag behind the clear flap. I think that changes from pair to pair.
Yea you donât own a pair lol
@@lolmaorofl ? I do. I copped from the Union site.
@GzDatguy Well, I think he just hasn't seen any other pair than Heskick's pair. Hopefully he knows better now.
I have a real pair for retail of the Off Noir from a respected local boutique store and the Union LA logo is half way underneath the side panel so I don't think that's a give away that it's a fake. If you Google images you will see the placement does vary from shoe to shoe
Actually, the only image I have seen where the logo is not tucked in is your genuine pair đ
@@tattyhead1972 The logo is tucked in the pair in the StockX listing ( stockx.com/air-jordan-4-retro-union-guava-ice ) so đ€·đŸââïž....
What model rolex is that?
Where did you get these from?
What's the website I don't care if they fake or not they look dope af
Would you sell only the lid?
Can you start comparing with a black light as well to see what to be looking for?
I mentioned in the vid I did that on the mocha 1s and I didnât see anything so I didnât do on these
Where did you get those
Nah bro, $130 shipped for this batch. I have the same pair.
From RedBoy
Deadass
My authentic pair has the union tag halfway under the panel just like the fake pair you showed. I donât think thatâs a definite way to legit check them for those wondering
On stockx the pics only show 3 letters pushed out
Word?! Thatâs crazy I donât doubt tho itâs something they will fix on reps too, but real pairs always very in quality
Its actually funny most stockx pics show 3 letters pushed out
most ua verisons show un one side la the other side pushed out which was a dope idea
The the resell stores have the pairs with all 4 letters pushed out
Thats kind of funny to me
@M K starting to believe
Scalpers are shaking in their Supreme AF1's right now.
Honestly, I would buy fakes as work shoes lol. I'm kinda thinking about it now.
Do the black light
Your video just gave the UA makers some pointers....lol. They're going to perfect the shoe thanks to you haha. Good informative video dude!
And sell the 1:1 copy to you for peanuts? Lol, if they really cracked the formula they would be selling it on StockX and GOAT instead of your broke ass
@@lolmaorofl Are you talking to me son? I'm far from broke, you should see my house haha. You probably still live in your mom's basement. I don't buy sneakers anymore. Just to give you an idea I was buying Jordan's, Dunks, & Bape, etc years ago. I was wearing Supreme back in 2000. I don't wear those brands anymore but I still appreciate the art and style that goes into it. I wear shoes like Grenson, Alden, Trickers, etc. My style has changed because I'm older. I was simply making a statement about HES's video, that it was informative.. So maybe you shouldn't be a snotty little hype beast making a stupid comment (btw, I was there when they came up with the term hype beast).....dumbass.
@@lolmaorofl they do sell to stock X bro I can tell from your replies youâre 14 and new to this lmao. People sell reps to StockX and get away with it everyday kid
@@ldub783 lmao heâs literally a 13 year old hype beast whoâs just into shoes lmao probably thinks off white is the greatest collab ever.
@@brooklyn4642 So I was correct. He's a dumbass who lives at home lol! Fucking little shit Hype Beasts all need a good ass whooping.
I thought I had a virus on my phone đ cuz this ain neva happened to me
Same đ
The toe box gave these away so fast, Jordan toe boxes are not cut that way.
Just got in the Kobe 5 protro Bruce Lee, they are damn near identical to retail, I only paid $55
Damn near doesnât equal the genuine thing, you are still wearing fakes. You can fool the whole world but not yourself
@@lolmaorofl at least heâs no dummy.
Materials honestly look higher quality than the real one lol. Shits pretty crazy
Rep machines go BRRRRRRRRRRRRR 24/7, 365. Never taking another L.
Lol I read it as the onion đ§ 4s
bro please make dry age steak video again please
the lace bag placement is something they can't get right for some reason
Where can i go to buy reps
Hey yâall đđ
Jesus Christ Loves yâall đđđ
Blessings to yâall!
Hope everyone having a great day!
U missed out another dead giveaway, the tpu holding the top laces is not cut-out in the middle, meanwhile on the real pair there is a triangular cutout just where the union logo is, that is one u can notice from afar.
No
they actually did a better job on materials and build imo. the tag placement is a bummer but, I never wanted any union pieces anyway. I'm prob the one person who doesn't dig em.
Nah, I'm with ya, I don't really like the ones either
Hi GOD BLESS !!! My opinion people go do it and they no mind to end with those replica sellers just have to give them weâre they can find the best cuality replicas for cheap then the rep sellers lost money
HES stop buying UA to keep putting them down
Apparently you didnât do your home work
There is levels to UA and batches and websites
For as long as you been in the game you should know that even retail âRealâ retail pairs are different
So do your homework with UA next time unless you doing it for clicks
Because heâs hurting your feelings when you rock your fu fu joints? Stay broke
@lol can you even tell the difference??like you gonna take a persons shoes just to inspect em if they real or , as what you say, âfu fuâ?you really are lol đ
@@lolmaorofl stay broke? Lmao Thereâs many people like me that hit on shoes on snkrs and on foot sites just to resell those shoes and get the UA shoes. Stay being broke because youâre paying resell my guy.
Do you know any good replica websites Iâm tryna cop some
@@papajp6464 cocosneakers.ru. ... thatâs one of them.. and i advice you to do some research before buying..

What do you do with the UA pairs after the review?
Wear em. Sell the retail.
@@UncleAlpha1 smart move but i think hes gonna dump it in the trash :(
I mean paying close to retail for some of those UA shoes you might as well keep them. I guess its business expense
while I donât condone fakes, only .0001% of folks would ever notice. but yeah, I hear ya.
Thatâs what you tell yourself to feel better wearing them. People who spot your fake shoes will never run up to call you out. Honestly we laugh and just feel a little sorry for yâall.
@@lolmaorofl Bro, u cannot tell any difference looking at someoneâs feet, lol
@@lolmaorofl how about you and your âpeopleâ circle jerk and talk about how self righteous you are? I bet you own a pair of Lotas or Surgeons? Yeah, thought so. btw Mr Self Righteous, my legit grail collection would make you feel small for even posting something. Know ur role.
Seems like the only way to tell with these new high-end fakes is to compare them side by side with the real ones like youâve just done, otherwise you could easily be fooled I reckon
đ„ŽThe lines are starting to blur.
Xertain Reps Look Better Than Reals Ones A1 Quality
This is the first batch of the Guavas. They've fixed most of the problems from this. Heel tab is even more fucked up though and midsole is still wrong.
Just things to look out for when you're trying to get a legit pair of these!
Can anyone tell me where i could buy a set of the replicas... i can't afford the real ones but id love to have a set just to wear.. if anyone can help me id appreciate it.. you can send me a message or post it here it that's allowed? Either way thank you
Twitter brought me here lol.
I donât like hype sneakers but if they made good fake parra am 1âs these videos are convincing me
Why canât you tell us where you got shoes from?
You should start doing the shoes off Instagram. Somebodyâs buying and selling the real joints out there right? I mean itâs to hard to cop Jâs, whoâs buying them all?
Based on the packaging, seems like a known replica spot. They are almost 1:1 quality.
fake pair gives you more for what you are paying haha
Does someone know where to buy the best replica to this shoes ? I love them but can't afford the originals

CZcams video not showing anything
i only buy reps tp wear them
It's just amazing to me how fakes/reps have become so acceptable now, as someone who is an older sneakerhead/collector, I've been in to Jordan's since he entered the league. I have always had the mindset that if I don't get an authentic pair of the shoes I want, I just move on to the next. I would then double back and get what I wanted later, since I'm financially in a spot now that I wasn't as a youngster. But fakes were highly frowned upon back then and now people are proud to claim they buy and/or wear fakes. Unbelievable how the times have changed. I still don't buy, wear, or support fakes, but hey, to each his own, do you.
Where does one find these shoes.
If you pay more attention to it you'll find it. You can try hypeboosts.com bro
Maybe they only had a B-grade as a template :D
It's funny he called it a B grade cause they are supposed to have 2 letters visible but his is completely visible. It's supposed to show UN on one shoe and LA on the other.
Unless they have a real pair to compare with no one will say shit.
Of alllllll the times I wore all my legit real yeezys (I have a lot), real Nikeâs, and even 2 fake pair of yeezys.....never had 1 person wanted to look at my shoes close. I wear them ALOT and all the time. If you miss out on a real legit pair and wanted that shoe or colorway, I say get a fake and wear it. Just donât buy it to resell as real..... that is lame! I also get lots of compliments on my shoes..... real ones and the 2 fake pair. No one cares in the real world people.
where do you buy the replicas, what are some trusted sites?
@@andresverastegui4582 i too am curious
@@andresverastegui4582 I DO NOT recommend Perfect Kicks! Stay away from them. My only 2 fakes I have...I got from DHGate and they are real good.

These look too close to retail pair to pay resell for 800! If I did want these I would buy UA. đ€·đœââïž
@M K interesting take check this. Say how Jordan brand has retroed certain shoes multiple times and each time having sold us different qualities different toe boxes and whatever other changes they've wanted too over the years. Yet cleary the UA a sneaker he's reviewing is better suede than his "authentic" pair. Mind games wow. đ€ŠđŸââïž how is cheaper materials better? This is mind boggling?
They look trash especially in the back
And the suede isnât âbetterâ because itâs thick that means it wasnât sanded down or buffed as much, aka cutting corners
GzDatguy read this idiot: Suede can be made from any kind of animal hide. To make suede, the underside of the animal skin is separated from the top, which creates the thin, flowy, softer leather. This means suede is a split leather, as compared to a full-grain leather. Some leather manufacturers will just turn the leather hide so that the underside is the outside, giving the appearance of suede but with a the same tough and rigid quality of leather. This is not technically suede, however.
The texture of suede is usually soft and smooth when it comes from lighter leathers, like those of younger animals. The nap of the fabric, which are the tiny, raised hairs on the surface of suede, can be tougher if the hide comes from older animals or animals with thicker hides, like cows and deer.
Suede is split. That is not split thatâs why itâs so thick. Itâs just flipped over not split. Stupid!
