Do more fake and authentic videos. I want to see weather shoe companies actually make quality shoes or they just make bad shoes with a high markup.

This channel is legitimately the most interesting channel on this platform specially for sneaker heads and “shoe lovers” all alike. Keep up the amazing work!

The whole argument of buying reps is not wanting to pay the resale price if we could buy shoes for retail we would never buy reps but the fact that people are paying $2000 for a pair of shoes and we can spend 150 there’s no point in wasting money

[shinn]

The conclusion was that a $230+ retail sneaker is glued better than sneakers 1/4 of the price? The one pair was $12 and was near identical. You could buy almost 20 of them before buying a single Yeezy at retail. I would rather of a couple pairs of cheap sneakers I could thrash and not care about than an expensive pair that would end up ripping.

For the cheapest rep you are paying 5% but getting 90% of the real shoe.

The problem with these type of test is that authentic pairs also come with several issues and changes. Like the 350’s sometimes fit and feel different depending on the colorway, I have retail pairs that have glue stains and separation on the midsole. And fakes have several batches too, with more popular models and color ways being more accurate, having better materials and craftsmanship

Honestly, the process of buying fake sneakers has been streamlined so much with the advent of agents. I'd argue you get more quality control than buying retail online. You'd be hard pressed to find a retail seller that will give you QC pictures of the sneakers you buy before they even send it to you. You buy a pair of fakes, you get QC pictures, and you can decide on whether or not you want to go ahead and send them out return them. There's communities sharing what their pairs look like from the same batch, with people commenting on the flaws that the pairs may have.

Great video as always! The blue tints were mine. I couldn't bear throwing them out so I'm glad they at least provided some entertainment and education. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

I think it would be more scientific if these were new. Boost starts to compress after a while and who knows how long these fakes have been worn. Which probably has degraded them at least a little. Also judging from the belugas, the ankle part color is very off which to me seems like they’ve gotten a lesser batch.

Was cool to see a used fake being similar to an almost new, real pair though. Especially given how much these sell for if you don’t treat sneaker buying like a job you gotta wake up for lol

[christopherlj]

love what you guys are doing about raising consumer awareness for these hyped up sneakers - great content as always

[CLbites]

I love that you thoroughly disect and break down each sneaker from a more objective and functional viewpoint. I would really like to see a Jordan 4 video because they're so popular despite being so notoriously uncomfortable to wear.

[odauska]

I am only 40 seconds in, but this is exactly the content I have always hoped you would put out. Thank you.

[JonNuclear]

One thing I will say as an owner of confirmed legit 350 v2s is that after you wear them for a bit the issues you mentioned on the fakes is present too, on mine that I’ve worn a good few times when I pulled in some of the parts, specifically the toe box mesh thing you that was mentioned in the very end, have bonding that has weekend a lot and can be pulled apart fairly easily if you wanted to, so it might not be that all the fakes are that much worse in construction but are just worn in a little compared to the perfect condition new ones. Not saying they’ll be the same quality even new, or that they’ll stay that way as long, but I think it is something to think about if you’re somebody on that edge.

[mayankgautam]

This is the content that was wanted and brother you delivered it thanks waiting for more similar content love from india

[Stereo_type]

Bit of misrepresentation here, the guy who paid $200 for the belugas that had been beat to death could've got the same or better for $60. You can also get refunds if your buying through an agent. Probably a few other things too. Just because that guy paid 200 also doesn't mean he bought a top tier pair.

[mtbicepulous]

I’ve had a pair of fake core red 350s for over 2 years and beat them to the ground and they’ve held up much better than my retail triple white 350s. My retails ended up having a tear in the knit but my fakes are still holding up strong.

[dannydalcantar]

This is a super cool video. The fact that youre outside the sneaker community gives us a genuine reaction to normal opinion

[unavoidablycanadian]

This was a great episode. I love seeing the comparisons.

[SamuelMonteiro]

I appreciate you for taking your time to make this. Quality is key 🔑

[gilbertoflores]

I think the fake yezzys are pretty worn to begin with, so we at least know they're durable enough to last more than a few wearing.


fakes became big, because no one could get the real ones for a reasonable price, or retail to begin with, so fakes became the better option. especially when you just said they're close enough in all aspects. I sort of stopped caring about fakes, because people only seemed to want the shoes to sell, not to actually wear, so if people had tovbuy fakes to wear, I didn't feel any type of way about it.
