i hate resell prices on sneakers i’d love to own but the exclusivity and hunt for purchasing them at a reasonable price is exciting. I can appreciate them from a distance if i don’t get lucky

Option 1. buy a pair of sneakers from a reseller (stock x, goat, ebay, ect) and pay 2, 3, 4, 5 times or more the amount over retail price and NOT have the guarantee that they are authentic. Option 2. Buy fakes, save yourself a bunch of money and have a pair that might be the same exact pair you will get from a reseller ( stock x goat ebay ect). To me the answer is very clear. If i cant buy from the retailers. i wont buy and pay resell, i dont care what people think.

I like when people talk down on reps. I bring up putian, fujian. The quality of shoes from putian factories is sometimes even higher than the originals. In 2020, the mayor of putian joked, “if your Nike shoes wear out in 2 years, they are genuine. If they last three years, they’re made in putian.”

Shoes should not be so unattainable that a replica is even an option and there’s where the error was made by the brands with friends and family and availability

Almost every shoe now is like it's limited, because of resalers and the way you have to buy them like raffles etc. Used to be if I tried to get a shoe and didn't get it, usually I got the next one.

You’d be surprised how many famous athletes rock the reps. Personally, I feel if you genuinely appreciate the aesthetic of a design, there’s no issue with wearing the reps. They’re all cheap mass produced items, rep or retail. T they have a very low intrinsic value. Nike purposefully puts a bottleneck on supply with their SNKRS app. They allow backdooring and love the reselling culture. It guarantees they sell out of their stock. It’s a genius business practice. At the end of the day - who cares? The fella on the left seems to be worrying about other people’s self-confidence or lack thereof, whilst simultaneously judging them. Wear whatever you want - they’re all 10 dollar shoes, to be worn.

No but love the episode great way to start my mornings on Friday all I watch is FSR and CSP not cable round here boyyyyyy

It is all about the person buying a pair’ real or fake, it’s their Choice…Just do Not Sell as a Real Pair.

I get Welty's point on people now talking about "new things" in terms of different brands. But as Dekovic was saying last week, sneaker culture currently isn't interested in "innovation," just retro Jordans, new colours for existing models, and bringing 90s shoes back. Yeezy models (not the 300 colourways) were at least new, innovative models. Who's moving the needle now? It's stagnant.

I don’t mind reps I buy them and I buy retail. But for me personally I’m not buying these super hyped super limited pair of shoes in Rep version . Maybe some Yeezys maybe some flu games . But yea to each they own , we only live one time so why not .

I love sneakers (have since 92) and i use to scoff at fake shoes. Now, not so much. I have never hit on anything remotely limited on snkrs and some of those shoes i just really wanted for myself (not for others) because i loved the design and colors. I have bought about three fakes in the last two years with zero effs given because of my not being able to attain them at retail.

If you can’t obtain a pair of sneakers after entering multiple raffles only for resell to be over triple the retail value then I can understand. I don’t care if someone else wears reps/fakes as long as they’re honest about it.

Gotta size 13 in the 270 Cactus for $240 and they are awesome. So comfortable

I personaly never bought fake sneakers but my favorite sneaker right now are the Fragment Travis Scott Low, i tried to buy from SNKRS and took an L as per usal, now my thinking is, why would i pay 2k for a pair from some one who took that oportunity from me by using Bots and i dont care that they are hyped, Fragment or Travis Scott i simply like them! Now give an huge amount of profit to some one that i feel that stole from me the opportunity to buy them from Nike at a reasonable price to me makes no sense!

Yup..resellers are trash. They claim to give back to the community, however, will charge you over retail.

Because if sneaker companies are going to refuse to make shoes in reasonable quantities people wanna bypass that. There are plenty of reps that are 1:1 with reals if you know where to look. There's no point in buying reals if people will just hijack the price and ruin it for everyone if you can just buy fakes made with the same material.

Absolute TRASH Jordan 6 British khaki wasn’t even a low quality suede it was something else. Trash fragment high Jordan 1. I got one pair of good reps and they were LV shoes and I know for a fact the leather wasn’t near the quality of the real shoes. That’s the big piece. The leather is NEVER correct and low quality even from the best reps. 1:1 is a myth. I’ve spent 3/4 grand to find out. They get the build down In cases and cuts. But the material is always lower quality. Kick who has good reps. But not 1:1 material again. Good reps are 200-250 Canadian with shipping. Most cases 200 American. They aren’t much cheaper than real Jordan’s retail. They aren’t cheap and cheap reps aren’t good. I absolutely hate reps now.

The problem with most rep heads is they are constantly contradicting themselves or flat out lying. They say they’re smart and saving money, but they spend even more on dozens of reps. They say they aren’t just thirsty hype beasts with FOMO. Yet they never buy sneakers that aren’t hype. They say they’re upfront about wearing reps. Yet they display their collections in cases like they’re real. They say they would never try to sell their fakes. Yet people get scammed buying fakes all the time.

My Rep Situation: I beat my Travis Mocha Lows so bad and needed a new pair. I'm not f***** paying 2k on the resell market, so I did my research on who made the best Rep version. They are almost identical.

I got me some top 10s patent leather red shoes. And I got so many compliments. My brother got bothered cuz he paid all this money on some Jordan's. And didn't get any. Cool shoes that were sitting. Don't need to go hype route.

Got fake sb4s from ebay, 400 no authentication, came in a month later, shoe box in ups bag all beat up. Opened the box to see two stock x papers, one was supposed to be a sticker im guessing it didnt peel, shoe had the st.x tag on the wrong foot and the shoe smelled way worse than the real one. First thinf i noticed was the grey suede on the toe was huge, the netting for the tongue was wider by almost 2cm, i got the sb4 wides lol perfect for my foot honestly but the materials are definitely not the same, almost looks the same though. Blacklight shows all the marking for the stitches, white paint on the bottom peeled first wear to the grocerie store and the crease is wonky and harsh, the real ones I wore twice creased straight across very lightly. Took pics before i wore them and ebay gave my money back about a week later so i got free fakes to turf out.

Same reason fake sneaker heads have a podcast

Fake Sneakers: I totally get why some people go that route and defend it. For the casual consumer that only buys 2-3 pairs of sneakers a year, I get it. They just want the sneaker to wear and bypass any hoops and hurdles to get a shoe. However, I personally as an avid sneaker consumer that purchases 5-6 sneakers a month on average, I can’t do that. The reason why I buy/collect/trade sneakers is the thrill of the chase/hunt itself. I get more satisfaction of making trade deals or or favors with other collectors via assists or saving up for a particular shoe because it didn’t release in my geographical market etc than when I finally do cop it. Thus, if I was to simply bypass all that and cop a fake, what would be the point then? It would be like cheating or lying to yourself. Why would I do that l? That’s just me though.

Im a HUGE blink 182 and was already into sneakers in 1999. I was wearing vans or airwalk. NEVER in Nike in 1999.

Maybe cause the bots and resellers buy them all and people cant even get a general release for retail

Did he really say “not everyone is entitled” to have a certain shoe? Lol sure, bud.

Y’all let reseller fk up the game and then get upset of the result no body is paying extra because someone else knows how to bot a shoe there are shoes that should be sitting in stores that don’t anymore you have to pay a premium even on bricks these days.
