- I Skated Fake Nike Sb Dunks for about six months. I skated dozens of fake nike sb dunks that were sent to me by replica factories in china. I wanted to share my experience with Fake nike Sb Dunks with you so you know what to expect if you decide to go the fake dunk route which spoiler I wouldn't recommend doing. Let me know if you guys are into shoe themed videos like nike sb dunks or if you'd rather I stick to tricks.

"these fakes are significantly more expensive than the real nike sb dunks. they're not as durable. the quality is inconsistent." lol
0/10 would not recommend
Make dunks more available
^
The Lion, The Witch And The Audacity Of These Foos.
Y'all better be cooking 2 massive batches of SB dunks.
One for the scalpers to take the bait, rot in their warehouses forcing them to sell them at a loss, and another for the real ones.
Maybe if you actually made dunks available to skaters we wouldnt have to buy fakes
You can get fake dunks for $60. Not $180. Lol.
who’s getting fake dunks for $180 u can find them for like $50 easily 😂
That's why the balloon was in the sky.. dropping off fake dunks to Joe.. 🤣
Haha you got me
Baha 🎈
I skate and hoop they’re making fakes for literally EVERYTHING. Thanks for another banger joe 🙏🏾
there's rep cereal now too😭
Where did you get them
I skate both rep and retail pairs of SB dunks and they really do skate similarly. The main difference is how they hold up. The soles on my rep dunks wear down much quicker than the retail pairs. Also the construction is different. I'm skating a retail pair of the San Francisco Giants SB dunk highs, and these have the double sided stitching on the toe box so when you blow out the stitching on the toe box, the toe box of the shoes remains intact. I've never had a replica pair that had this feature.
Yeah it’s like the reps get it 80% right but the quality is in the last 20%
Almost as if reps weren't really meant to be skated.
@@dylives7667 Jordan 1's aren't meant to be skated either, but that doesn't stop people from doing it. People have been skating Jordan 1's since the 80's. So what's your point?
@@KenZENuff That you just executed full bozo mode, by not reading my comment properly.
I was talking about reps.
@@dylives7667 I have rep dunks that last longer than Vans Old Schools or Ishod's new pro model shoe. So again, I ask, what's your point? Or are you just speaking to hear yourself talk? Little boy.
I saw you at the park a week or 2 ago getting that tre on the step up, I didn’t realize at the time that you were the same guy that’s been making these videos😂 keep makin good content🤙🏼 maybe we could get some clips sometime
Yeah man say what up next time!
I miss the days where I could go into a shop and buy them without having a raffle system and all the hype. I remember going into Classic Skate in New Jersey and them having a pair of dunks on sale that I bought right away.
Also, I just bought the Pawnshop dunks and the quality is unreal. They are so dope
@@tonyvolume666 Good to hear.
I also thought they're clean but, I'm a little hurt they're not done in the SB mold.
Those laceguards are everything, which the Pawn Skateshop Dunk doesn't have since it's done in the Sportswear mold.
I used to get mine at Skate Warehouse no problem.
Sometimes, even at discount.
Now, they don't even stock them.
They still stock almost everything else from Nike SB, but no longer SB Dunks.
Also RIP The Janoskis.
@@dylives7667 well, they are done in the Original SB soles. Like I remember the first SB dunks had the same tooling, I’ve always wanted the Shimizu dunk hi’s and the pawnshop ones are very similar. I actually prefer them over the newer soles.
@@dylives7667 and the Janoski was just announced to return, new Ad in the new thrasher.
I appreciate your honesty.
Always!
How many vids of these have u done already 😅? Cmon man
This was me kind of closing the door on all the fake dunk stuff
Tbh they're probs ones that failed the qc test in the factory
i remember buying barely worn dunks off ebay for £25 a few times lol miss those days
Honesty is king above all
I’ve been using the ishods as long as you size up a half size they fit good but realistically they should half size up each toe cap so we can order true to size
Supply and demand!!!
Nike could solve the problem if they simply made enough for the demand.lol
what is the offical name of the pair with the bordeaux color? Thanks.
You should try to skate the adidas forums if you do like the dunks
Wearing some rn haha need to skate them thi
Getting the Black Gum Nike Sbs from Directive soon
Wish directive was my local shop!
Where can get them ?
Another thing, like you said how fake dunks are that expensive, I’ve never heard of those prices for fake dunks. My experience has been on Container Ships where we get pamphlets of the available dunks, Yeezys and Jordan’s and we get them from the actual factories that make the real ones in Shanghai. It’s usually between $45-65 for a pair.
I got some replicas for like $10
just fakes bro
My man can't catch a break.
Getting finessed not only by scalpers, but rep makers as well.
It really depends on quality, there are pairs from $20-$65 on dhgate but you can also get high quality replicas for $80-$175 or more depending on shoe and materials used. I've gotten $40 pair of yeezy oreo boost, $150 pair and a retail pair, the $150 looks almost spot on in comfort and look but the $40 ones had horrible leterring on the side and striping was way off
180dollars,really,a pair of fake dunk 😂?In China,we can buy a pair of fake between 10-60dollar（in our currency) depends on different company，i buy a pair recently,it takes about 36dollar，the shoes is fine。outsolo good,insole have a zoom,it feels well,but less react than really nike zoom,i can't introduce too much details because my English it's really good.for general,it worth.some skaters even wear fake dunk jump off15 stairs or double set whatever😂
Yeah I imagine actually being in China you could find really good fakes and the Chinese government doesn’t care it seems if people buy fakes
@@localjoe true
@@localjoe u can get the fakes directly from platform like weidian or taobao that s where they all
come from the ones u buy for 180 are the same it s just that the dude dropship
I got some fake dunks for 40$ and skated them for about 8 months and can still skate them if I wanted…not sure what we talking bout here 🤔
How can they cost so much? i thought its something like 40-50$ :D
I’ve noticed a huge deluge of real dunks at the moment, seems everyone has a pair.
I don’t know if it’s because Nike are upping the circulation, or people are fast noping out on paying near 100 pounds/dollars on dunks in the economic climate leaving the raffles an easy win. Even skate shops are selling them straight up.
Yeah I think your right it’s both increase in supply and punishing resellers
@@localjoegood fxck resellers they make it too expensive for a PAIR OF SHOES. I shouldn't be worried about paying my mortgage or coping a pair of shoes I want 😂
I got the staple dunks and they were awesome to skate ...but to each there own..
If Nike would just stop making fake scarcity and produce enough SB Dunks that people could actually buy them, there wouldn't be a problem.
While I don’t support or buy fakes myself, it actually isn’t illegal to purchase a counterfeit good for personal use in the U.S.
i bought two pairs of rep dunks and they aren't spot on but do the job and i only paid about 100 usd for two pairs including shipping
They should just make more dunks and make them cheaper
I don't get the whole Dunk vibe to be honest. They look just like every other shoe but cost twice as much. I always skate Maranas myself. Good video though! 💯👍
For me they are the perfect ratio of foot protection to slimness and the colorways are always on point for the most part.
Maranas are fuckin sick... plus I legit think there much better constructed than dunks. The michellen rubber soles are INDESTRUCTIBLE.. unless u have etnies vulcs,then they wear pretty much the same as all vulcs
Everyone what this guy says about the thicknes of the toe panel is not a dead give away and is not a end all definition of it being fake. I won the Copdate Raffle for the Huf SB Dunk, came straight from Huf, and it's toebox panel is taller then I'm used to seeing but they are absolutely real, the leather quality is amazing. They just have a taller toebox. I tend to see the slimmer silhouettes of the toeboxes on suede or nuebuck dunks but the tumbled or regular leather we tend to see on the toeboxes sometimes are alil wider then the softer leathers and it's prolly because they are stiffer so they stand taller. they don't have any softness or squish to them until after being worn for awhile.
It is definitely 100% not illegal to buy a counterfeit item. In many countries it is not illegal to sell either. Sometimes it is only illegal if you are attempting to pass off as genuine.
Whether or not someone’s gonna kick your door down and arrest, you is highly unlikely. Where it might bite you is your order being confiscated going through customs. If they suspect your goods are counterfeit, they may contact you and offer you a chance to dispute, but you have no ground to stand on, so you’re just out the money. If you get ripped off from the seller or have your goods seized by customs, you’re sol, unless you use the payment method that will let you dispute the charges in the event of getting scammed.
@@OzyMandias13 The chances of being seized by customs are tiny. They are far too busy. Most/Many of the counterfeits are so close to the original you would need training in each brand. You get both good and bad copies. Personally, I go out of my way to buy unbranded items. I don’t like large logos. I also know where to buy the logos. So, I can buy any item of clothing and put any brand on. When you think of it that is exactly what brands do. $3 t-shirt with iron sticker = $40 t-shirt. For some reason, people lap it up. I can do same for $4.
YOU LIE!! Nike SB Dunks Are Not available for Skaters. The resale is always double the retail. STOP TELLING THESE LIES JUST TO MAKE NIKE HAPPY…Shame on you Joe 😤
Take a breath my guy it’s going to be ok! They aren’t lies if you do two minutes of research you’ll find Nike is making a specific sb dunk colorway for skaters that they’re releasing four times a year to destroy the hype so regular skaters can buy them. As well Nike has started flagging resellers and banning them from buying future drops of sb dunks among other limited sneakers. This is destroying the resellers making it cheaper and easier for skaters to get dunks and yes dunks are sitting on shelves at skate shops and it will only become more and more common. All that to say chill out before you go accusing me of something that’s not true.
Why spend $180 for a fake dunk when you can buy another shoe brand & support a skateshop?
Fakes are acc like 40
I said it in another video paying over $100 for a replica is ridiculous. An standard skate shoe shouldn't cost more than a pro models shoe.
I mean should or shouldn’t doesn’t really matter it’s just what people prefer
Whats the sellers joe im trying to cop some sb dunks
Who the hell is paying 160 to 180 pair replica Dunks y’all getting robbed
Test nyjah 3
I already did one video about them
Give them away ? ;) ;) ;) I mean only since they are illegal or else I’d buy them haha
SB reps are wonky with the two piece sole. You can fold that sole like a slice of NY pizza. Simpler designs can be had dirt cheap and they're 1:1.
w joe w vid
Thanks G! ❤️🙏🏼
Ripping here
bro where are u getting $180 reps 😭 max $65 shipped u gettin ripped
I never bought any
What did you do with all of them cause I would definitely buys them off you just because the shoe game is so flipped on its heads just because some rappers started wearing them there double in price I'm a sneakerhead but there no way a regular pair of shoes should be 1k dollars so I would buy reps but waiting that long an not knowing what you're gonna get there the price isn't more cause you can't get them so hit me up
i dont think you know much about fake dunks I got real dunks and I got fake dunks, my fake dunks were exactly $60, idk how your fakes coust $180. there are both the same quality
I’m okay with buying reps to display pairs I can’t afford. I’m not paying 3K for some dunks they’re cool they’re not get evicted cool. I’ve been a sneaker head for 20 years and I hate it anymore. If anyone has a LEGIT site to safely buy reps please reply with it.
Fakes v Blems?
Definitely fakes in this case
180$ FOR FAKE DUNKS? why on earth would you spend that much on a skate shoe jesus
I paid 70 60 for my why so sad direticly from china and they are quite good, cheaper than the nike ones (300usd)
Where did u get them?
thats why some people buy fakes because the reseller fck the sneaker game
Paying over 100$ for reps is crazy you gotta learn how to get them cheaper and not buy them through middle men. 180$ for reps you might as well get some actual nike dunks
Actually If you are from China these shoes only cost you $20-30. Prices go up when they are shipped internationally. I bought 2 pairs of SB Rayguns (DG Batch) that cost me $55 (including Shipping) each direct from Chinese supplier.
180$? dawg i buy em for like 40 or 50
Where
@@thesharinganknight9859in my country they're cheap. But they are basically 1:1 and they have good materials
Buy good fakes. They are great, some even better than originals.
Why didn’t you make this video sooner? Bought a pair per your recommendation (months ago). Major regret. Terrible functional quality and can’t sell them anywhere now. I knew better and accept responsibility but still. You may have gotten them free but you hyped these up to try. Not looking for a reply but wanted to make you aware. Pretty wack but whatever.
Yeah that’s on me man I was pretty naive about the whole thing. I took down all the videos about them. Some were actually good tho like super good but you never can tell so not worth the risk. Anyways sorry you bought it because of me and it sucked
@@localjoe no worries, Joe. We live and we learn. Thanks for the response man
A lot of petty is what I saw from this. If Nike wasn’t in bed w tye resell market nobody would buy replicas.
I'm sorry bro but dunks have always been pretty shitty cupsoles..toe cap is a fuckin box, absolute shit flick... they're tolerable at best if it was all u had to finish a sesh. The only way I would get these shoes would be if the local kohls had em and I REALLY needed new shoes bad.. and u know I'm putting my old shitty shoes in the box and walking out w the new ones on my feet..but tbh I feel like Dunks are probably like a 3 hr break in and even then still a little stiff..and the other Nikes SBs I've tried are to thin(except for the Rodriguez high top 7s.. those were probably some of the best shoes I've skated but they designed completely different than the dunk.. like the Rodriguez 7 is all suede lower including the toe cap and they had a killer design for getting great flick..I also love Adidas but the bottom soles wear out in two weeks. I finally feel like I found MY shoe w the etnies joslin vulcs, just everything I want in a shoe, although if I could find those Rodriguez high top 7s I'd scoop them in an instant. Those def kicked my skating up a notch. Shit felt so solid protection wise and for mfs that like ankle support it's perfect the way the upper breaks in. Mad board feel for a cupsole fs
I agree with you that the prod 7 was a really good skateshoe with perfect boardfeel and flick.
I know bro I literally felt like I couldn't NOT land a trick in those..I bought em on a total whim literally cuz they were marked down to 40$ from 100$ and I thought the color way was dope. Wow did they kick my skating up bro...I bet it's possible to find em on Amazon but prob not for less than 90$
no way ur paying 120 for reps😭😭😭
I didn’t pay anything
@@localjoe glad ur not getting finessed bc that's a crazy price might as well j wait and get them retail when they drop😭
Dunks are overrated and overpriced
Don't buy counterfeit shit.
And stop calling them replicas.
@@vorpalblades why do u care lmaoo
I bought fakes all you got to do is your research and bam you can fine some good quality fakes for a steal #fnike
Nike has worse quality than some fakes it’s crazy
If you can't scoop SB Dunks for retail, it's all good in the hood.
Support core brands like those from The STI Labs Family (Etnies, Emerica and eS), DC, Fallen, Straye and Hours Is Yours instead.
Also Vans, Adidas and New Balance. They may not be core, but they're always taking care of skaters by putting up quality product always ready to buy, and even sometimes at discount.
Also 160 - 180 for reps wtf?
Only if they're either Jordans or Nike Yeezys. Never rep Dunks.
first
Get 2 the point Man
Good thing i don’t sk8 my fake dunks..
you implying hows there's a possible of people "might" get into trouble for wearing fakes, are just outright white hilarious! xD what kinda world you live in dude xD
Idk if you wear em but it’s illegal and I could lose my channel for promoting them are providing links to the companies that sent them
@@localjoe no it never illegal what consumer wears, only thing out of legal boundeay is nike failing to control these fake productions
@@yas_art haha ok
When i was a kid i couldnt afford skate shoes so i wore walmart skate shoes now im 29 and cant afford dunks 😂😂 (reseller price) let me get that website fir the reps
Well a have 3 pair of dunk SB's just found out through this one of my pairs is fake,fucking bummer that,pisses me off
Its ok Joe 👍 we just wanna know your hones opinion about the shoes and fakes in general...also where to find them just in case thanks!! 🔥🔥🔥🛹🛹🛹🤘🤘😎😎✌️✌️ keep shredding good sir!!
Thanks G ❤️🙏🏼
