In a strange turn of events I some how ended up with a pair of replica Off White UNC Jordan 1s and in today's video I unbox them and compare them to a genuine pair of the same shoe.
Surprisingly, the market for replica sneakers is quite a lot bigger than people might realise with hundreds of thousands of almost 1:1 replicas being produced to feed the desires of frustrated sneaker-heads who miss out on being able to buy the genuine shoe.
Also in result of all this research i've done into fake sneakers, it seems to have affected my web browsers, as now a vast majority of ads i'm shown are to do with fake sneakers, even ads ran on facebook. Highlighting just how many fake sneaker producers their are out there.
From looking into this land of fake sneakers, it makes me quite concerned about the future of the sneaker market. I love sneakers and their are HEAPS of shoes i'd love to be able to own and in some circumstances reps seem like an easy way out to get them, but this does affect the entire sneaker community as outlined in my video.
My biggest concern after the Travis Scott Jordan 1 quality control problem is that reps are getting better and genuine sneakers are seemingly getting worse so the line between real and fake is getting even more blurred. So that opens up to the question, if you could get a better quality fake, would you even buy genuine sneakers anymore?
Let me know in the comments below your thoughts, thanks for watching my video and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet. Also quick thanks to PerfectKickz for helping make this video possible, I don't support the production or sale of fakes so this isn't a promotion by any means but without them I couldn't have made this video.
Peace,

All ima say is that nobody’s gonna look at your reps and be like “hmm that mark is .3 cm away from where it should be”
Isaiah R. Exactly
Facts
Haven’t met me have you?
Exactly
Get out of here, why would you admit to being so petty?
It’s crazy cause if all celebrities started wearing “ fakes” shoes all of us would start buying “fake” shoes
NELL REACTS some of them do (maybe because they got scammed from a supposed “plug”) and most people do as well 🤣
Many of them do for photos and stage shows. 9 times out of 10 they wear the shit once or twice. People will think it's real because of who they are and they are percieved to have money. They end up giving it to one of their guys on the team to keep them looking rich. Trust not many are wearing real shoes for stage shows especially if they have a sneaker connect ordering them and getting it to their stylist. Trust me I've seen it with my own two 👀
Offwhite factory not even close.
@@johntitor1054 You're not earning them you're getting ripped off by resellers by paying hundreds or thousands for shoes that retail for a 2-3 hundred.
@@johntitor1054 exactly. Some shit is just for the flex. You can earn something and only real people respect it. However, how many real people are the compared to all this fake shit out here. In a photo it looks the same to them and all the mindless people who just hit a like button so that's all that matters.
I don’t think buying replicas is wrong, but saying they are original is very wrong.
You talking about buying fakes and people saying that they’re legit? Or even worse people sell fakes to others claiming it to be an authentic pair and selling them at the resale price
@@JoshuaDaniher first one doesn't matter since because the person is just lying about something and not scamming anyone
I have some fakes and not gonna lie it’s scary bc I compare them and some of them have better leather quality than authentic it’s ok to buy ua shoes not everyone has the money and no one wants to buy resell price ppl just wanna be in fashion and it’s all good I respect fashion but just don’t resell or claim there real I have some real off white air forces but a pair of ua 97spoons and I let ppl know they ua but ya I feel
Joshua Daniher basically what he means is that if you buy replica's, you should say that they are replicas, don't say they're OG.
Taran Manaktala At the end of the day, nobody cares. It’s all in your mind how you feel about wearing replicas
Can't say shit when these brands manufacture their products in the same place where reps are produced
I know man, that’s why it’s pretty much impossible to tell the difference anymore
Joshua Daniher my retail pair of Infrared 6 has more glue stains than my rep
Yamagucci Mane I’ve heard many stories about replicas having better quality than the retail pair just can’t bring myself to wear fake sneakers
@Doug Castillo There's some truth in that: it's not often the case but it does happen. When it does, its usually because a replica factory wants to impress a major buyer or is just starting up operations, so they put in the extra effort, whereas the retail pair may be QC'd by someone who is being judged more on yield rate than "acceptable" quality. It's actually a lot more common in the apparel sector - you have people like me go in and help companies cut costs, but sooner or later there's a risk things go too far and you tip over from cutting costs into cutting corners... :-(
Hiratio Masterson damn yeah I was think that’s so crazy no way it’s that common when people tell about better quality reps but I definitely could see how appearel would be more common
I would just act like they’re real until someone asked and tell them they are not real
Bro but how awkward would that be!!!!!! Jks I guess as long as you’re honest that’s important, but all these fakes being a fraction of the price of resale and based on how good they look that might be a viable strategy 🤔
@@JoshuaDaniher it really is... I'd rather pay ~retail price to a chinese hustler than 500% of retail to a spoilt 17yo who bot bought 12 pairs with dad's debit card. Because the quality of these high tier batches is insane
if you're in hs and someone calls you out and you say it's fake. they're gonna think everything u own is fake lmao
@@ThePowerPlayzMC who CARES? Once you become an adult, you stop giving a shit about other people opinion. Only in elementary school and high school is there any sort of social pressure to keep up with the jones.
Or ignore them and dont answer😂
I can't believe how Manderoti took over market in such a short period of time, insane
The same poor Chinese kid probably made both anyway, it just depends weather or not you care about if Nike acknowledges they’re real
Thanks for both of your opinions, I agree they are probably produced in the exact same factory. You can’t say reps don’t use child labour unless you can confirm they use their own seperate factories yet I think they’re the same factories for everything and Nike doesn’t own them they’re just outsourced to have them produced.
@Ryan Loomis 2.0 yeah man i can agree with that, ive seen videos similar too that aswell. I mean im not much of an expert on the subject but I do know bulk engineering companies that outsource almost every single part they produce as long as it makes sense to have it shipped cost-wise. I wonder though if Nike does any quality control when it arrives in America or whichever country it is being sold? As I assume after each pair is produced it is just shipped to wherever it is going to be sold straight from the factory.
Facts
MeSaDrums CORRECTION Vietnamese kid
They're probably just not up to standard for Nike so they put those in a separate bag to sale as replicas
best place to buy reps is Manderoti
I have done some work in the industry (this isn't my real name, ha!) and would like to give you a bit of insight. What often happens is that counterfeits/replicas/fakes start off life as factory samples: Nike, adidas, Puma etc...they do not make their own shoes in their own factories (this is slowly changing for some very high tech shoes though). They simply subcontract out manufacture to independently run factories in China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia etc. What happens is they send design specs to a number of factories and ask them to make sample pairs, to check for quality etc. After some banter on pricing, they may select one, sometimes two factories to do a production run. The other factories that didn't get the order are supposed to destroy all existing samples and the tooling...most reputable ones do...But on occasion, some staff members take the blueprints and manufacturing process documentation, sometimes tooling and sell them to less reputable places. That is how the quality replicas often start life. There is a huge amount of shoemaking expertise in Asia and many of the Nike Air limited releases are based off well understood technology and materials - the Nike Air Force design has been around for over 30 years, thus it is easy for many to make excellent quality replicas. It is harder to properly copy higher technology designs like the adidas ultraboost, with the knit material uppers, Continental rubber outsole and of course the boost material, but this is changing rapidly. Oh, and sometimes 'replicas' are made by the authorised factories, but simply do not pass QC checks...and sometimes, what they do is when they get an order for maybe 25,000 pairs, they make 30,000 instead. 25,000 get sent through authorised supply chain channels...and the other 5,000 leave the factory via guys on motorbikes, private trucks etc. It's an interesting industry indeed...
Wow thanks for your insight! I’m sure plenty of people would like to see this. It is very interesting and I’m interested to see how it changes in the future as it seems some of these fakes for shoes like Jordan 1s ect are reasonably easy to replicate and the fakes just get better and better. Thank you for sharing your insight and welcome to the channel! 😄
@@JoshuaDaniherHappy to be here and see how people respond to replicas...and especially when they find out the definition is not so easy as to what one is. Some replicas indeed are pretty awful, the type of stuff you would have gotten in the 1990s: the basic silhouette is there but the design details are all over the place. But some of the best ones...even someone who actually makes authorised pairs would struggle to tell the difference: materials and tooling are identical or within QC tolerance. The real problem seems to be when people get these high quality replicas and sell them on StockX as the real deal - and even the StockX experts can be fooled. No easy answers to that one...
Yeah I think the biggest problem in the world of fakes is the sale of them disguised as authentic. I’m not 100% on what StockX or goat do to legit check pairs but if they’re just looking for cosmetic differences than I think they will eventually run into trouble when sneaker reps become too close to tell. Idk if sneaker compiles will start personally adding authentication barcodes or tags to each shoe after they come back from Asia but otherwise I don’t see a genuine way to legit check. Also when legit pairs may still have the odd defect
@@JoshuaDaniher There's work being done on barcodes as well as blockchain technologies to help with authentication, but it's a never ending game: one side acts, the other reacts, then the other reacts to that etc etc ad nauseum. When you have retail pairs going for $200-300 for a production run of ~800-5,000, but the demand for the sneakers is tens of thousands (or as with the ultraboost initially, where adidas massively underestimated the demand for the line in 2015 and because the materials and production techniques were so different to the norm, it was very hard to get a pair for the first 2 years and resale prices were also pretty nutty), then StockX prices run into the high hundreds and in a few cases a few thousand...and suddenly these guys in China (who really don't make that much margin per sneaker) suddenly see the chance to rake in some solid cash with very little overall risk...the temptation is pretty clear. One of thing I should mention was that back in 2017, there was one new Quality Control manager at a major factory near Putian (where else?) who thought he would make an impression by setting ridiculously high standards for a batch of AF1s: one tiny stitch not perfectly symmetrical and even, the entire shoe was chucked: the yield rate (percentage accepted as defect free) dropped to below 15%. Almost 600 pairs went into a reject pile before he got a talking to. But those shoes were not accepted back as OK...and they weren't junked. Have heard a few stories about what happened, but the most credible one was that the QC guy got rid of them via unofficial channels and gave all the money back to the factory to keep his job. These sneakers are not fake, but they are "unauthorized": a handful may have defects that would normally not pass QC, but the majority are well within production tolerances. Another grey area...
That’s crazy man! Also crazy how they’re going to use block-chain for an actual physical item, like I’m aware how it can be used for digital authentication but not with an actual physical product. Appreciate your insight a heap, so with all you know do you advocate for fakes or are you against it? Like what side are you on and what is the biggest reason you feel that way?
I mean I have a list of probably like 20+ sneakers I want that I’m waiting till I can afford when I’m working full time that might cost $30k+ if I were to collect them all but probably like less than $4k if I bought reps, is it even worth trusting the resale market if reps are floating around in that space now? I don’t want to pay $10k+ on ‘authentic’ sneakers from the resale market if someone can’t confidently say they’re 100% authentic as otherwise I might just be paying more for reps! Idk man what do you think for now and in the future as what will happen and what sneakerheads should do if they miss copping their latest sneakers for retail?
plot twist: his real ones are fake too

In my oppinion having replica's is perfectly fine and selling them is perfectly fine, as long as you're not advertising them as being legit.

Nah you right on the first one but selling them thats just fucked up

@@ccarbs9204 I think you didn’t read his comment right. He said selling them is fine, AS LONG as you’re not selling them as legit pairs.

Lmao are those all rep sellers?
Joshua Daniher yeah bro, on R/FashionReps they are everywhere. Been buying retail all my life, once I found out about replicas, switched all the way and it is true what they say, you only pay because of the name
Also loved the video and subscribed my man 🙏🏻
OGTONY is lit bro! I never got called out after having my waverunners for almost a year now, and Mirror bogos are Dope!
Shout out to the teenageclub where i grew up with my girl monica and her dog coco , on that 158sir avenue ;)
What they really need to do is find a way to eliminate bots so that everyone has a chance of paying retail for shoes. That would solve everyones problem
V true. I've had luck on my side on snkrs app / yeezy etc. But bots are the REAL problem. Shoes already be limited then u got these "cook groups" coming through sweeping pairs with their bots or making the websites crash. Then the people that do hit resell for HELLAS so you basically will never wear that shoe unless you decide you wanna cash out one day. Or you're rich.
Or just make you buy in store so you’d have to wait in line for it
All fax no printer. Go on tick tock and you can find vids of people who make videos on the best bots to cop shoes
The "AIR" on the real pair is crooked. So really hard to say if a pair is perfect or fake as they are all man made and cannot be all the same.
Exactly why I made this video! Each pair will have slight discrepancies and the fakes now days are so good that these little errors are impossible to tell when compare to the real pair! Let me ask did you guess correctly all of the correct real vs fake questions?
@@JoshuaDaniher No, it's really hard to tell the real from fakes 100% of the time. The really good copies or fakes are made to almost 1:1 replicas of the authentic ones that you have to have several pairs of authentic to compare side by side with a replica pair. That's how good they have made the fake ones now. And I think most of the real good fakes are made from the same factories which produces the authentic ones so it's not hard for them to produce a close copy of the real ones.
Joshua Daniher would Stockx notice the difference?😂
That’s what I’m sayin too. Crazy because if I got a pair of “authentic” ones for 2 bands ppl gonna assume they are fake because not many folks got em AND they gonna notice the text is off. So in my opinion it doesn’t matter. If I want the shoes imma go to DHgate and drop 50 on em and be fresh. Why would I pay 2k just to say they are authentic? Just my opinion. The fakes are real to me. LOL
Eazy Da Chef think again the materials aren’t even worth 4K the shoe retails at 190$ remember that
If you buy high end reps it's pretty much impossible to tell a difference from a retail pair, I own 6 pairs of Jordan 1s, 2 replica pairs and 4 retail pairs and there's no difference in quality between them at all.
Bro 100% like morally it’s wrong to sell reps because you know it’s like stealing someone else’s idea or art and selling it as your own but quality wise they’re basically identical, and you’d hardly ever pay more than retail for the best quality reps. Also really they’re all made in the same place with the same materials. Unless Nike start manufacturing in America than it’s practically the same thing all coming out of Asia.

Even if your shoes are fake/legit it doesn’t matter as long as you know how to wear them or style them
Would be funny if u left these out sitting next together and had to run somewhere and come back to the crib not knowing which one is the fake and which is the real pair 😂😂
My guy 100%!!!! Once I unboxed them and brought out my legit pair I was like damn I better do something so I don’t end up mixing them up hahha so I have a little piece of tape on the sole of the fakes so I can tell which is which 😂
Whenever the fakes actually start to look better than the real lmao
Imagine selling them on accident with one fake and one real😭then they tried to sell them to a buy sell trade store and they took hours to determine wtf is going on
dude, like the type of people that work at those stores hardly have a degree in sneaker authentication, like would they really be able to tell?
🤣🤣🤣
Hold up you might be onto somethin 😳
Might as well grab a pair of reps of all your favorite sneakers, that way you can actually wear and enjoy them without worrying about every step you take
As I see it, a shoe is a shoe the only difference between those sneakers would be the factory they are produced in and their prices, they are basically overall the same design. Most people dont like replicas cause they are cheaper then the normal price and In my opinion of you want to flex just leave the price mark on your shoe to show how much you paid for it since that's really the only thing making the shoes different, of every shoe in the world costed 100$ there would be no such thing as real or replica cause people wouldn't care as they all costed the same, we would view them as only shoes but now that there is a 1000 dollar design, if you get ot for cheaper the shoe is automatically labeled replica or fake which dont make much sense, just leave the tag or take receipt with you when you spend that much money on a shoe so you can flex the price cause that's really all that you can flex as design comes cheap and expensive but shows as a shoe
It’s not a money thing I feel it’s more a community thing, I mean sure some people just want to flex, but when I wear authentic sneakers I know I’m a genuine contributor to the sneaker community and I’m more comfortable not feeling like I’ve faked it. Regardless I still see your perspective and that’s the great debate or reps.
Appreciate your insight mate and thanks for stopping by the channel ✅🤝
Here’s my thought if I get a chance to buy the “real authentic ones I will buy them” but if I miss out on them I’m not gonna pay no resell price (what the seller wants) that’s normally outrageous for no sneakers.

I personally don't have reps, nor am I a diehard sneakerhead. But to keep it 100% with you, I could give 2 fucks whether you wear reps or not. If you don't have the money or just don't want to spend thousands on some sneakers, then I perfectly understand. If they make you happy, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. As long as you acknowledge that they are reps and don't claim them to something they are not, I see no problem. Do what makes you happy.
Super video Joshua! Big congrats on almost 900, keep it up my friend! :D
Thank you for the support! I’m very busy with studies and work but I hope to have more content coming soon 🙏🏻
I'm not into fakes but if I were to rock a pair I wouldn't go for a hype shoe since that brings too much attention/suspicion about the shoes being legit. I'd go for like a Yeezy 700 V2 Vanta Black or Jordan 1 Chicago
Bro Chicagos are pretty hype but I agree, especially for complicated sneakers like the off white ect where there is so much to get wrong regarding material and prints and colours but af1s and AJ1s are pre easy to rep as they’re just leather panels
@@JoshuaDaniher true AJ 1s in general. AF1s are pretty affordable unless you're going for a collab really. True Chicago 1s are hype but here in the UK Jordan's dont have as much hype compared to the US unless its a collab with Off White Supreme or whatever hyped up brand
Yeah I feel that. I could probably wear any fake retro AJ1 or Jordan in general and no one in Australia will care because not that many people are into sneaker culture to be able to tell and potential tiny off details from a rep. Considered wearing my fake pair from this video to the gym and see how many people notice, I doubt anyone would give a fuck
Chicagos are hyped as fuck, they sell for over $1,000 now.
Name a better shoe than a Chicago 1 though? Never out of fashion
u look so professional I subbed!
Hey man appreciate that so much! Welcome to the channel 🔥🙏🏻
I think you should do videos like this more often. It makes people think alot more about the fact that there are like fake designer brands for everything now a days. I would look forward to see more things like this. Keep up the good work I really like your content!
Cheers man I appreciate that a lot! I would be interested to look into it more but also don’t want to be too repetitive, I would possibly like to get a whole lot of fakes from differ t places and see how fakes differ and see if even I could guess which is real and which is fake but we’ll have to wait and see as atm I can’t afford to looking into buying fakes for content purposes.

I recently got a pair of off white jordan 1's the blue one for like 1300 dollars, and I have't worn them out since it'll get dirty literally all my shoes are either dirty or creased so I'm thinking of getting replicas and wearing them, and just keep my originals at home.
I love the way Travis Scott’s 1’s look and I wish i could get em for less than $800-$1000 I would def go “replicas”
Very informative video, subscribed!
I appreciate that so much man, welcome to the channel 🔥🙏🏻
Something to consider when comparing real versus fakes is that even Nike and Adidas have quality control issues that sometimes make it hard to say for certain that every legit pair is going to be perfect. That's what also makes this so difficult sometimes when comparing real versus fakes.
Agree with you completely. People even get legit authentic pairs with heavy defects which in some cases makes them less valuable than a nice UA pair
Look exactly the same
I know right! That’s what’s crazy about it. Especially if quality control drops on legit pairs I’ll be almost impossible to distinguish a difference
Joshua Daniher some people call out my legit prestos because they aren’t perfect
Kenep I people who call out other people’s sneakers are literally bored with life and need to mind they own
Flüchtlinge willkommen what you mean where the money goes ?
Flüchtlinge willkommen do you live in the US? Impossible to get most exclusive shoes these days with bots and other shady tactics buying them all for retail.
quality video! def work on the mic audio part of the video! everything else is perfect
Wow thanks man! And yeah I’m saving up to get some better audio equipment but just doing my best with what I got so far 😄 appreciate your support and thanks for dropping by the comment section!
All the images, I liked the way the fake pair looked more. The stitching touching the corner of the R rather than going through it looks better, the AIR being parallel looks better, and the silhouette on the back of the shoe is better shaped.
In my country, there is a stall that sells UA shoes the got the look at and feel of the Yeezy Yecheil Reflective, like literally 1:1. She even said celebrities buy from her (of course she couldn't mention their names because she didn't want to expose them). They were selling these Yeezys and other shoes like Balenciagas and Gucci, so close to the store that sells the authentic ones
Damn crazy this is information is coming straight from the FBI
I dont think getting replicas are wrong, if they’re comfy and they look good, why not? You get the comfort of the high quality shoe but with a reasonable price!
Is it really a replica of there using the same material? If there using the same materials the shoe is real just not approved by Nike
Third-party Nikes
Galaxi what does third party mean in your definition
@@unknownbillionaire In commerce, a "third-party source" means a supplier who is not directly controlled by either the seller (first party) nor the customer/buyer (second party) in a business transaction.

Cheers bro 🙏🏻 yeah curiosity got the better of me hahah, don’t support it but crazy how close these reps are getting. I also added in the description, it gets worse when sneakers like the Travis Scott 1s and Sacai x Nike have such poor quality control that good reps are almost indistinguishable. Don’t know how the industry can stop it though
is there a link to the site?
instagram: @Aurorashoes, dm me
Regarding the glue down swoosh tail, my retail pair was not glued down and my rep pair was. So this is not a good indicator since theres variation. Another thing to note for the medial text on the left shoe, the dash "-" before white should either be to the right of the vertical blue stitching or on top of it. It varies on retail, but the dash should never be to the left.
Thanks for the tips bro! Strange on that swoosh variation but I guess that’s a quality control thing 🤷🏼♂️

I have taken 150 L’s on the SNKRS app in the last 5 or so years (with only two W’s). Shoes that I genuinely want to wear are sold out in seconds and aftermarket prices are double if not triple the price. I remember a time where it was all about wearing shoes but now it’s just a bunch of hypebeast’s and resellers causing high prices and in my opinion ruining the sneaker industry and culture. That said, if you buy a fake shoe just be honest.
you should customize them 😃
That’s a neat idea! I’ll have to try and think of a creative way to do so 😄
Imagine you mixed up the shoe after shooting this vid and couldn't identify them.
The best video I've ever seen about those shoes! I love those shoes but they cost a lot for my wallet and I started to think to buy a rep, but I'm not really sure to do it
it depends on how much you are into sneakers, i was dying for a pair of waverunners, but couldnt afford them so i bought reps it felt decieving to get compliments so now that i have a real job i wear only authentic clothes and it feels a lot better because i worked hard to get them.
I completely agree with you Evan! The feeling on my conscience would be far to much to make me never want to wear the shoes. When I wear shoes that I know are authentic and that I know I earned I feel proud when I wear them! 🔥

It hurts me when I see perfect reps
My opinion : as I’ve seen the comments buying fakes isn’t wrong but saying they are real is wrong. And the reason I don’t buy replicas is because i just need to have the these pairs are real feeling. And most people too. So I think it’s not like that if a celebrity would start wearing fakes everyone would too.
That's dope bro
Chaste bro, I appreciate you 🔥🔥
If I cant get the real thing for retail then I get a rep if I need to have them ...plain and simple. Reps I get are so good its crazy. Matter of fact had a real TS and the fake side by side and everything down to the smell was spot on. The box was off and that was it
right, but you ain't wearing the box
where you getting your reps bro?
@@longstrikeadam r/repsneakers. Go there and search for whatever shoe you want. Personally, I went with Tony, coco, monica, muks (dont worry about those names, just go on the subreddit). I wouldn't recommend ordering at this time of the year since its cny and postal services are shut down, so if you're looking to cop heat, do it some other time.
97% of women you go out with don’t even know what brands you have on but of course your lady will learn from you as time goes on but trust outside of high school nobody is going to approach you saying they are fake so just make sure you don’t wear fakes when going to hyped up stores like roundtwo etc.😉😅
Loved your video man! I had a question, would you recommend buying from this website??
mr. romeo_ i am not the dude who made the video obviously but I highly suggest you check out r/repsneakers and r/fashionreps on reddit. They discuss all batches and stuff so you know which ones to get. Good luck man.
siccboy thanks bro!!
I agree with siccboy, at least see the range of supplies and see what more experianced rep sneakereheads have to say. These guys weren't bad but I've been told many times there a better reps out there
You’re goated. Never sell out.
Well I didn’t
How do they smell ?
Lmao wired af,
I have both the real and fake one. I rough use the fake one lol
The fake one is a real good copy of it it set me back like 200$ and the real one i bought for 1.7k
Which pair of sneakers? Yeah I’m not denying that there are really good pairs of fakes out there, what is your reason that you ft the need to paid a rep of a pair of sneakers you already owned?
@@JoshuaDaniher well i use the fake pairs to do like trolls so what i would do is take some pictures of me torturing those shoes. So if people saw them they would have a stroke lmao. I take pictures like stepping on YEEZYs(fakes) and kissing someone with a balenciaga stepping atop on the AJ1 × OFF-WHITE Chicago etc
Excuse my English its my 4th language lol
we. have more better than. this. quality, we. have. yeezy 350 airjordon with good material, add. our. WhatsApp +86 13395942818 get. more. detail
You get what you pay for period
Im team quality over cheap prices
But to each is own i understand how some sneakers are ridiculously overpriced.
Where did He buy those replicas? Thank you!
he bought them on perfectkickz.ru
Can you send me the replica I’ll rock them fr
Yes, yes and yes.
Every sneakerhead cant afford the original ones.
so what's the difference in comfort, or do they both feel comfortable bc i feel like fakes soles and insoles suck
The details on the tv at the back are sick
Cheers dude 🙏🏻 nice that y’all are seeing the details
What’s the site called? So I can copp some and do a review as well
Bro I said it like a million times in the comments, scroll down and you’ll find it hahah thanks for stopping by my channel though I appreciate it 🙏🏻👍🏻
They're all made in the same factories from the same materials anyway
That's just not true
@@keyhan404 that's just based off of a documentary I watched 🤷♂️
@@jackgoward8858 it's the people that work in the factories that sell rep companion the plans.
@@keyhan404 it is indeed true. Also, it cost the same to make both, the replican as the real one. Same material and almost the same process to make except of obviously the quality on detail.
@@kgd1163 that's why I dint mind buying replicas, it's just bad when someone sells a fake at retail as a real product.
I’ve started considering reps after I received multiple pairs of fakes from StockX over the past year or so. I wasn’t able to get my money back for most because the “shoes meet our criteria for authenticity”. Why should I pay the authentic price if I’m not getting authentic sneakers right? The morality of it doesn’t really affect me because I already paid full resale price for the shoes so I don’t feel like I’m cheating by purchasing a fake pair that’s almost identical in quality to a real pair.
Got yourself a new sub here
One of my buddy’s is a really big collector of sneakers. He buys reps so his authentic pairs stay DS LOLLL
Bruh same I sold my Travis Scott 1's and they were reps but I still got like a pay check I felt like a real dirt bag so I asked for them back NEVER SELL FAKES TO STORES GUYS
Ayudh Dhupar where did you get them from. They must look hella real
@@ant5484 Tony
Ayudh Dhupar Af’1s or j’s and what batch
@@ant5484 GQ Tony high J's
Why not give us the site as to where to get them
I literally show the website on screen. I didn’t want to show the link because I don’t want to feel as though I am promoting the sale of fakes though if you’d like to know it is perfectkickz.ru
They are expensive for reps dhgate is better for price u can't tell the difference
Dude DHgate looks dodgey as!
instagram: @Aurorashoes, dm me
where did you get the reps i would like to buy them for a cheaper price cuz i dont have the money for real J1s
im into filming ... and it helps the wardrobe department alot...
Grace tong is rele smart , this is great free promotion or the cost which is 2 bucks for the sneakers n shipping price lol smart woman
Grace tongs website doesn’t exist anymore lmao, definitely didn’t expect this video to blow up as much as it did tho
I've got real pairs and fake pairs of yeezys 350. real ones cost so much I dare not ware them out so I buy fake pairs to ware out lol fake pair cost me no more than 40£ I don't care what people say I just get on with my life buy them or not buy them that's upto you sod everyone else.. Nice vid by the way...
I’m ok with buying fakes the only time people would expose you for having fakes if you are flexing or selling them
Are they looks same as original?
They’re jus’ shoes. Who cares if they fake?😂😂 Protect yo’ feet. It’s all that matters
You should attempt to (almost) sale the fake pair on grailed then tell them it's fake at the last minute
Dude they would legit sell I reckon. Even with high quality photos I don’t think people would know, especially compared to photos of other shoes for sale on grailed, I think it’d trick a few people
Joshua Daniher you just figured out how to make millions by selling 1:1 replicas. You could buy a pair of Off White Jordan 1’s for like 100-200 and sell them for like 2 grand+
Sneak: 100
Morals: 0
Yikes
Joshua Daniher it’s 6 in the morning in the UK and I’m laughing my arse off 😂😂
@@JoshuaDaniher How do you think flight club etc. have so many limited pairs? They sell perfect replicas too
thank you for this. i wanted to get into sneaker reselling myself and found some success in warehouse deals but buying on release day without a bot i find impossible. gonna sell my kidney for the canary yellow off whites.
What you use for cutting? And can u make a tutorial?
If you have the bread to drop and want authentics, do it.
If you don't have the bread and want to rock an identical pair for close to retail, cop reps.
Literally, who cares lol no shame I will 100% cop a fire pair of replicas for the toe instead of spending $2000 for an identical pair
I think depending on the complexity of the sneaker reps are good. Like a Jordan 1 is such an uncomplicated shillouette that the reps are almost identical but for more complex sneakers like say the FOG air 1 they might not be perfect due to the technical nature of the shoe
AIR looks like a weird spelling when you look at it for a long time
Yes. Best shoes during the rain
What’s the website to get this stuff? Because I’m not trying to spend thousands on a shoe
I would've RL'd the rep because of the air placement
pinku_ repfam out here
@@ThomasMLampe still lookin for that 1:1 succ
Is the air on the fake that bad?
@@JoshuaDaniher very. in fact the whole replica screams BAD.
Interesting, what do you see that makes it standout as bad? I’m obviously not a season legit checker so I’m interested to hear when you look at in a rep
Shoutout to Flightkickz Will jeffyeezy lindayeezy BM lin 158sir y’all know what’s good same shoes lower price no retail bois
I like wearing my shoes, and love new and old releases. If I can afford a genuine, I'll get it. If I can't afford it and want it enough, nothing wrong with a rep. No way I'd be wearing my NYC Pigeons to work at a restaurant if they're real. I'd be okay with the resale market's crazy pricing on limited releases if there wasn't backdooring or bots having odds waaaaaaaay stacked against normal people with one account. Everyone had a fair shot at the sneakers, that's what turns me to reps. SNKRS has a million bots, so do so many other sites and it gets to the point where it's not worth the frustration to just own a pair of shoes.
Where did you get this replica. I’m really Trynna rock them as I’ve always taken L’s when it comes to new releases
