- This is an in-depth look at the air Jordan 1 shadow 2017 review. First and foremost I’d like to thank @snkrluvr83 for providing me with the latest fake /replicated version of the shoe. They had 3 to 4!years to get it right and it’s still not! 😂😂😂. I’ll waive a link to his channel and his video on the explanation of fake shoes and the term UA doesn’t exist. This video is for educational purposes only. #realvsfake #sneakerhead #airjordan

I know it’s a long video but try not to skip through it. I’m speaking straight facts in this video. I’d rather you guys watch when you got free time then skip through it. Thanks
Man, you could never really tell until you have the original/ real right next to it... 🤦🏾♂️
I could like this video one thousand times, I would. Bro! This is an ongoing discussion in some sectors of the "sneaker community" on CZcams. You have advocated for both retail and replicas who argue for their position as to why their perspective is the better perspective of the two. I don't believe in replicas for myself personally, but I do understand those who go that route to save money or desire a nearly unobtainable product from the retailers.
They claim it's resellers who cause them to do that but that makes no sense when there are a lot of "UA supporters" who will actually buy them in bulk to flip to the unknowingly simple-minded masses. This is a discussion for another day. My comment is almost as long as this video, LOL! Great work as always bro. Salutes!
Nike could kill the resell and replica game with pre-orders. 1 per account, let the fools buy a lot of pairs on multiple accts but they will be stuck holding them cause if you had a day to pre-order the size you want there would be no reason to buy from a reseller
Great info. Thank you for these videos. Really helps people like me who have decided to rebuild their collection after being absent for so many years. I always refer to your videos as supplemental info and I have actually caught a couple fakes thanks to your info.
You’re very welcome and thanks for your support of my channel. It’s greatly appreciated.
This was asmr relaxing. Good video
The nonsense is the over inflation in resell price tbh. I mean. Resell on these are 400-600 and retail for $250cad?? I'll take the $170 UA any day of the week
Very good video. I love when we can actually see the authentic ones. However, do you think there is a batch out there that is closer to exact? Darker grey and all? I'm just skeptical because I've seen some things man. Keep that fire content!
I’ve seen 3 top tier batches and none compared To retail
nice shirt
where u get the fakes from ?
yeah I can actually see now but it also depends on the factory and the supplier you get from cuz some can make shoes better than others cuz I've seen videos tons of videos I'll watch all day long and they're passing these replica shoes as authentic on go stock x goat and check check apps in person to do a social experiment and the guys like yeah man these are authentic he's like no they're not the replica he's like no way
First of all, ain't no one hour church service out there. Lol
If y’all been following my brother he doesn’t bash UAs. He actually has a video on the bred 11s and admits that the UA version is crafted better than his retail. He calls it like he literally sees it lol. When he sees a good UA he gives credit
Yeah bro they don’t know that 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@JacobMarcellus Naw they don’t that’s why I put it out there so they can check and see it.
@@la9inebillion good looking out bro. They want to attack with out checking out the facts .
Not every box lid has a stamp right? mines didnt have it and shoes are legit.
Gonna need that rep vs retail TR Aj1's comparison 🤣
You gonna provide the real pair lmao?
Where can I get one of those lights from & what is the exact name for that light stick you have
Hit me on my Instagram so I won’t forget . I’ll let you know when I get home . I think I got it off of eBay or amazon
Are 2.0s still cool?
Please do the super bowel retro 12s “real vs fake”
I passed on getting that shoe
It’s all about mental. They’re the same damn shoe.
False information bro and I totally disagree. They’re two completely different shoes
@@JacobMarcellus I get what you’re saying. I think it’s better than paying resell $500-$1000 for a shoe that costs the same to be produced.
@@taj5062 I totally understand. You have to do what’s best for your pockets .
@@taj5062 I used to buy resale. Been happier with reps and going to go on a vacation with the money I saved this weekend
If you have to put a black light on it to be able to tell any difference, I see no reason not to go with UA. Especially if you actually wear your shoes.
Just tried black light test on both reps and retail no difference at all!
Same factory same materials same people making
@@bingjuan1542 yep
Yeah I definitely get where you're coming from with the hole and authorized argument, but do me a favor and get one thing straight, Jordan does not have a factory labeled the Jordan factory. They split up their production among independent factories in China usually A and B factories, Which is why there are production differences between large general releases because there's 2 different factories making them. On top of that you have another factory in China that makes a particular material used for the shoes and Jordan will put in the order for those materials in said colors for those factories they contract to make the shoes to use under their jurisdiction for the production run. At the same time of those productions happening or shortly after is when the other factories have better access to the exact materials that the factories that were producing the authentics were using. This is why in my experience unauthorized if you want to call them but more accurately replica shoes, Have identical materials when they come out in unison with the general releases that have a large production run. It's so much easier to get the material of the authentic at that time. If Jordan doesn't have any secret sauce or their own God damn factory let's get that straight. So it's not entirely unthinkable that during large production numbers another factory down the road copies exactly what they're doing. Respect what you're doing for the community, and if you buy genuine sometimes like I do then you really are kind of in the middle between buying authentic when possible and replica when im not paying $600 for a pair of jordan 1s. Your opinion is mostly correct but I know you have those bred 4s a couple of years ago, And you can attest those were the same material as the authentic. As can I because I have the authentic and replica in hand at the time and it was astonishing. To backup that claim, you recently received the newest batch of the bred 4s, and they were nowhere near the quality or material of your reps in 2019. You use this to substantiate your claim they merely try to make due with what they have, which is true years AFTER production of a GR shoe. But like I said, when production is going on of a shoe they are making hundreds of thousands of pairs of in multiple factories they are subcontracting out to, they will most likely make a 1 for 1 material and all rep of the authentic shoe.
Hopefully this shed some light and can help you expand your knowledge of the replica shoes, As I am not arguing these facts due to my hubris or to justify my purchases, just trying to help.
At the end of the day, they could be made at at actual same factory and even then unless its authorized production under jordans command, they would be fake shoes. Hope this helps all who read!
I get what you’re saying but I’m completely aware what goes on in China and I know Nike or Jordan brand doesn’t have a factory in China that says Jordan 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ . I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion from what I said in my videos . Nike doesn’t have factories but they do have long time exclusive partnerships with factories . Nike isn’t scrambling around looking for factories to make their products and surely the counterfeits aren’t being made in the same factories so let’s get that out of the way. As for materials they get close but never exactly the same. My bred 4s were close but they were under scaled. They hurt my feet among other things that didn’t compare to the retails. I don’t buy the term unauthorized authentic because there’s nothing authentic about counterfeit goods and the stealing of intellectual property. Thanks for commenting and I appreciate your take on things.
@@JacobMarcellus Hey man I get where you're coming from and just to be clear i should have specified, i didnt think you thought jordan has its own factory, i just wanted you to clear that up as thats the impression many have, i could have worded that better. Also, like I said above I never said or believe they come from the same factory nor do I think they are authentic. What i said was: Even IF they did come from the same factory BUT Jordan brand did not exclusively authorize the production of said shoes they still would not be authentic. That's just a devil's advocate scenario.
My point is since Jordan has no secret sauce and outsource work, the people who run the factories jordan uses, typically know people at other factories down the road, lets not be fooled here. And this make info about production of general relase shoes real accessible.
At the end of the day my point was, When you get the shoes closer to the release date of a largely manufactured general release, they typically have a higher chance of gaining access to the same materials as Jordan is outsourcing materials from a different factory than the one they outsource the construction to. This many moving parts makes it easy to copy the GR shoes. That is at least my current understanding, And if you have some inside scoop on Jordan manufacturing facilities in China that debunk this theory, then I would love to hear it. But in my experience the further away you get from a production run of a largely produced general release, the less accurate the replicas are every time. There has to be a reason for this. Also, the scale issue is not a materials issue, it's a size mold issue, and your feet hurt because they were probably a half size or more small, because they're reps and often undersize by that much. I did not have a comfort issue since i sized up knowing this. Having compared my 2019 rep and retail breds, there weren't any discrepancies in actual material, however. This could be my bias in effect warping my perspective, but it also could be your bias in effect as well. Just like how you were quick to call out the J looking like an I on the wings on the replica and then not saying anything when you saw it was the same on the authentic.
What I do know is From my human eyes to this conversation, what I observed was the same materials. I also observed different scale proportions, so I think we are both right.
Hopefully that clears up my position. I've been burned by Jordan and resale too much, so my personal reasons are all my own and I implore anybody to buy retail or resale if it's what your heart tells you to do. To be clear once more, I am not saying that these shoes touted as an unauthorized are authentic.
*Side note, you should compare Better shadows, as the reps you have are not 1:1, and ive seen 1:1 materials in bred and royal 1s previously. These aren't a solid example, just IMO. Good vid nonetheless, The theme of the vid that UA are not really UA is a point that needs to be known. However most people seem to understand this, by virtue of having different "batches" and sellers, how could they be actual Unauthorized authentic? That doesn't make sense.
you can’t judge judge one fake and label them all horrible it’s just that one factory , other companies take their craftsmanship serious. Not a rep buyer but i’m just saying.
Video is too long. And reps are very similar. The real shame is not $300 fake shoes its $300 real shoes, the over glorification is the price. Those shoes weren’t meant to be more than retail- even retail is a profit
I can't even tell on camera usually I can tell the difference is they look so spot on I know in person it's different but on camera they look the same to me especially if you're wearing them I mean I'm a fan of replica so I know people aren't they have to be authentic but it's like come on it's like the same darn shoe for a heck of a lot cheaper sometimes if you can't get it for retail, but we all have our preferences yeah I can tell now once I see the back of them yeah I can't see it
I disagree bro and of course you’re biased to the fakes . They’re far from being spot and being the same shoe. I suggest you watch it again with a non biased eye.
Once again bro I ask people to take their time and listen to what I’m saying in the video. I spoke about the 3 versions of this shoe bro.
The color is a bit different
Agree on foot you won’t notice
@@flizzy4645 this is not an on foot legit check 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. My comparisons are for buying purposes . So if you come across someone selling a fake to you for resell prices you know what to look out for.
They deadass look the same 🤷. Can see the difference grey buy other than if I saw them in person wouldn’t notice
does this apply to the 2013 pair shadows? thanks
No sir
The UAs look good but like you said the scale the scale the scale. The toe looks great as well but u got a point wit price. For 150 i can add another fifty and get sum like new or brand new on goat.
@SNKRLUVR83 thats exactly what i do. I might get some UA mochas cause i aint paying 500 but only if the UA top noch.
@@flizzy4645 i do from time to time. Its a chance u take but the thing is i never had a prob wit Goat and i can get my money back if sum wrong. Cant do that wit Fakes but i never had a prob from them either to be honest. Yea resellers jack the price a lil but if too much i say fuck it.
Brand new is like 500 what are you talking about?
@@alexhoang5935 i said like new read bih
@@falcon1711 “like new or brand new” read your comment bih
It's nice
Tbh it seem like the batches being used are the lower quality. There’s some sellers who have pairs with no difference at all and even better quality. Some times it’s not about the price, sometimes it’s just a mindset type of thing. There’s no reason to buy the exact same shoe and material for 5x the retail price.
Not sure if you watched the whole video but I told my experience With the 3 top fake versions of this shoe directly from the manufacturers. They asked for my opinion of which version was better. I know what’s out there and I know what molds they use for Jordan 1s .
@@JacobMarcellus Just got a pair from muks to wear it everyday and keep my retail's fresh and I don't even get the difference. I don't know if you bought form different seller/batch but I was just impressed by the perfection of the shoes I bought even the stitching is on point and color match! Friends don't even know which is which. I don't know man maybe they got better or they are just different all around.
I paid 30 dollars from dhgate and its good quality but without the box
Cool
Real on has more sheen
Any way you see it both shoes were made in china
I say your rite don’t fall for the foolishness like paying $536 for a shoe with 80’s technology because all the damn resellers purchased all the damn shoes y’all need to grow up and your guy should probably order a size 11 and after that I’m certain he’ll still save himself over a $100. Much love UA all day !
UA whats a UA?🤔🤔🤔
Can you put a link to real ones
Nike.Com they came out years ago .
I can't afford original so i decided to choose fake.
bought some fakes off of facebook starting to think they are real
Cool
You should review the left vs right shoe on the real pair. I'm sure you'll find differences
And your point is ?🤔🤔🤔 because it won’t be a difference like the fakes. So your point is basically irrelevant.
@@JacobMarcellus my point is that no two shoes are the same. There are variances on every shoe. Real or fake. The minuscule details that you sometimes point out are laughable. On the occasions when you admit that the fake is dead on you still find a way to shit on it. Dude it's cool, you dont like UAs but you dont have to talk down on those of us that dont have an issue rockin em. Remember, it IS our pockets right? Plus I'd rather purchase a UA than get finessed on the resell market and end up with the same UA shoe.
@@dwil8621 I’m non biased bro i call it like I see it. I’m not an apologist for fake kicks that’s all. If they’re not the same they’re not the same . I don’t see what the problem is.
@@JacobMarcellus I dont think any real UA supporter still claims that they come off the same production line but most of us do feel that the materials used are the same on the best batches. We can agree to disagree tho.
But you gotta admit that a UA from three years ago like the one on this review is not of the same quality as one produced in 2021. Especially on 1s and 11s
@@dwil8621 that’s the latest shoe bro. 2021 😂😂
I can help you with my logic at least. I’m not trying to hurt Nike. I want to get resellers. I want everyone to buy reps for one year so that these resellers who use bots have to get a real job and stop scalping our shoes.
Aye boss they going crazy in the comments for your commentary 😂😂 but on a real.. I have a few retails pairs and never got into the fake market but now that I can’t afford these in 2023 for resale I’ll gladly pay 150 for a really good fake. I don’t respect the resale market and bots so if I can’t walk in a store and try on a shoe I may need to find the China plug 🔌
Yeah i know 🤣🤣. This video is old, I really did this to prove that the shoes aren’t made in the same factory etc etc. my videos were never to sway anyone from buying fakes. People have different budgets. My motto is buy what you want real or fake. There’s no rules to this.
damn I bought some fake ones 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Fakes all day! I rather wear a fake shoe that cost 50$ than be the idiot paying 500$ for a pair that’s gonna serve the same purpose which is to wear the shoe
You can’t possibly say there’s no such thing as UA’s unless your the QC guy for Nike or the QC guy in the factories over seas. You really think the pairs that the Nike approved QC guy marks as unacceptable just get thrown out because he says so? 😹 stop playing boss, if you believe that then your the biggest fool in the equation.
😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I’m just saying bro, prove me wrong cause this video ain’t it but as a reseller I can see why you would make the claim cause technically UA’s would be cutting in to your profit margin the better they get. As a sneaker head you would be a fool to buy any of this shit for resell prices when UA’s will get you the same desired claim to fam because nobody is running up on anybody with a black light to check pairs😹 but to each their own.
@SNKRLUVR83 how would someone who knowingly buys a UA be getting finessed when they literally know they are purchasing a shoe that was not approved by Nike? You buying shoes based off of hype for thousands of dollars is the fools game of finesse mode😹😹😹 so no matter what you found online to justify your stupidity is irrelevant because you’re still dumb enough to pay resell for a shoe worth less than $40 to make and $170 for retail. Make it make since guys🤡
@@SELLSHIELD I agree 100% if you want the shoe to wear, you’ll be just fine because on feet you can’t tell a difference and nobody is walking up on you in 2021 to see it me legit check those smh
@SNKRLUVR83 lol imagine calling paying retail price for reps “overpaying” when paying 500+ for retail isn’t. The only difference between these two are a shade of color and a small quality difference. Is that worth paying 5x the price? Stop telling people how to spend their money.
Bruh they look exactly the same 😂😂 unless mfrs walking around w a black light , they the damn same , same material and all , f paying 500$ plus for a resell !! I’m paying my 150$ and stunting
My channel and my videos aren’t for calling people out and no the shoes aren’t exactly the same.
The website I cop my reps from are 99.9 Percent exact , but yet when you hit that black light on them they a little off . It’s tuff getting them on release , so I had to settle for reps 🤦🏻♂️
Don’t kid yourself bro 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ they’re definitely not 99.9 percent accurate😂😂😂. How would you know if you were unable to cop a legit pair and really compare them? I am able to do both i can say that they’re not. Theres some that get close like the bred 11 but the rest dint make the cut.
why is shoe
What is shoe? Who is shoe ? 🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂
This Video here is dangerously misinformed. If snkurluvr really paid top dollar for that rep or w/e he deffo got bait and switched(i know this from experience myself), some sellers will claim to have top tier reps and will give you a lower tier batch mostly cause they cant source it or oos. This is why i stopped dealing with some of these random ass sellers because at the end of the day China man is greedy and some will sell you dogshit just to make max profit. Top tier reps of these are so close that you using this as a way to "legit check" is gonna get alot of people busted over the head by a scammer who selling them a top tier rep as retail cause alot of the flaws you mentioned here are non existent on the top tiers.
I still feel people will get scammed regardless
Fake 40€ Real 200 €+.The life of the fakes 2 years+. The life of the real the same
Those are terrible reps. I have seen spot on ones. These look like the dhgate specials
Ong I was thinking the same thing, the back of the shoes on the reps is awful
My friend paid top dollar for them and they definitely weren’t from DHgate. They probably look worse because it’s being compared to a legit shoe. I bet if I did a stand alone video with only the fake most would say "that’s a nice rep where did u get it? "🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
