      They’re real, the fact that Nike QA didn’t stamp
      It doesn’t say it ain’t real . And the lady was not backdooring to her son. He violated the credit card spending permission she gave him. The word fake is all in the head and Nike knows it. Nike has already said they can’t even tell the difference. MK got the shoe game and shoe tubers in their feelings big time. It’s so much folks could be talking about and coming up with their own material for their channel but today it’s all copy cat culture. Now foot locker invested in resell.

    Take it from someone who has been working in the sneaker community for some years now. UA’s are made by the same companies that are making the real pairs. They are using the same shoe molds to make the fakes that they use to make the real. The only reason they’re called UA’s because they are using the real company’s shoe molds with out their authorization.

      The reason I say this because *There is no such thing as a perfect retail pair/pairs.* If a retail pair can come right from nike and it looks off something looking funny on it and Authenticator deems it fake because of it. *HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU SEPARATE REAL FROM FAKE?*

    Respect sir. Regardless of how anyone feels about retail vs UA. At the end of the day, they are just shoes. A lot of people talk about pocket watching, but quick to call someone broke for not wanting to pay resell. You, and others with platforms have a lot of influence. It's dope to see you tell the truth, that's it's some people's preference. That's an important lesson for the younger generation that is more easily influenced by what you and other CZcamsrs have to say. At the end if the day, it ain't my business what you wear, how much you spent or where you shop. I do not care about what the next man has or wears. I'm too busy looking at women.

    I worked for Timberland in Dom. Rep for my first job at around 16. In that era there was also Nike & Rebook in the same spot putting together "Authentic" and Unauthorized sneakers. Keep in mind, we did the same shit at Timberland. During the day all the "authentic" stuff shipped out the proper way and 3rd shift handled all the shit that went out the back door... So many of you would be butt hurt to know that you all rocking the same shit! Not all places do the same, there are spots that do use different materials and its easy to tag as fake... I am 40 now, Nike & Reebok are no longer on the island but Timberland continues to feed us a bit of both real and unauthorized Tims.
    I have been lucky enough to catch at retail everything I have wanted. Would I rock Unauthorized? Hell yes! Truth be told at the end of the day both Sneakers regardless they are "Authentic" or Unauthorized. They all come out the factory at tops a $15 to $20 sneaker. 24 years later it was even cheaper what Nike was paying the factories for a finished product. Importation fees and Nike selling to retailers may bring the kicks up to $35 to $50 depending on the kick and then they throw their suggested retail on them...

    Everyone has their own opinion and it should be respected. I appreciated your perspective on this hot 🔥 UA vs Authentic topic. It all comes down to personal preference. My son loves both.........his ideal scenario is to own an Authentic (if he is lucky enough to get/afford a pair)..........but buy a UA to wear when he is just handing with his friends. The stories he has about himself and friends with rare authentic getting damaged/scared the first time they wore them out is truly epic. He likes knowing he actually has a authentic in his collection, but can wear and not worry when he is wearing his UA to hang with his friends.

I’d rather get a ua pair than lay 1,300 for a pair of off white sneakers that aren’t even premium materials and comfort. And trust, I’ve paid for resell just to get a real pair and they’re no different from a good ua seller’s pair and it’s stupid that we get into real bad fake when there are pairs that aren’t sold retail (Unauthorized) that are the same.

      It's all in your head.. If the fake sneakers that you guys think uses the same material, same build quality (it got way better now than say 2-3 years ago), and most of the time smells the same, then give those please.
      Someome said "he would never wear fake sneaker because he feels like it's morally incorrect", well if you bought a sneaker from a plug before the release date, aren't those supposed to be unauthorized because manufacturers such as Nike, Adidas, etc didn't give consent to sell those before the release date which makes it morally incorrect as well... Which means CZcamsrs who buys their pair (non-early access) from a plug supports stolen goods... 🤔
      For me reps are more than ok to wear as long as no materials are switched and with good quality. In the end of the day, no one will legit check your shoes when you're wearing them... If I don't hit on retail, I go option B instead of giving my money to scalpers/resellers... ✌

    I wear UA’s and when people ask me if they are real I straight up tell them “no, they are UA’s” and when they ask me why I wear UA’s I tell em “because I want my outfit to look good and I’m not dumb enough to pay 500-1700 for a pair of kicks”.
    The way I see it, if you collect sneakers go for it, pay the money for the legit ones and most respect to you buy if you want to just have a drippy outfit and look good go for the UA’s, just don’t be that guy that tells people they are wearing the real deal.

    I like the way you explained this. I agree, wear what you can afford....I don't care if you wear fakes or not...But we absolutely have problems if you try to sell them off as real/authentic.

    I respect your stance on it bro. My issue with UA sneakers is there are people out there that will attempt to sell them as authentic and have been successful in doing so. We've heard of those stories about people buying from Goat or StockX then get disappointed when they realize they were sold a fake. I've even seen resell shops just glance at a shoe and accept it. Without diligently evaluating the sneaker. There are sneakers I'm willing to spend the extra bread on but don't because I can't trust it's not UA. Like you said if I don't hit at retail it's on to the next one.

    The prices are crazy now day's to a point. The main problem is not being able to get a pair. Everyone is either hyping a shoe and or promoting all the releases. If it's wasn't for social media yah probably have more of a chance of getting the pairs you want but can't. Resellers be hitting on the head after paying retail and ya'll wonder why specific shoe prices are the way they are when they release.

    if i’m being logical and i want a Jordan 1 TS, I ain’t spending $2,000 on a shoe that’s worth $175, even if i got the $2,000. It just ain’t right, you could buy a whole ass car for $2,000.

      I sell unauthorized shoes as real all the time and the ppl that bought them from me couldn’t even tell anyways. If they didn’t check the shoe to see if it’s real or not, then it’s their fault. I don’t care how anybody feels, if I need my money I’mma get it! I’m a hustler, so that’s what I do.

    I’ve always looked up to kids that had those nice Jordan retros and all that stuff, like he said it’s all about preference so I bought some retros for only $70 and I don’t feel regrets or shame. They look just like the real deal but it’s what I prefer

      hows the feel when you wear them though? is it the same or at least close to the real ones?
