Ironically all the flaws you pointed out on the appearance of the fakes are problems I've encountered with real pairs

[Kai-szvf]

Resellers probably hating on you for lowkey ruining their business by showing us that we don't need to spend $500 resell prices. Thank you!

[brandonjeffries]

"I'm no specialist..." respectfully sir, your analysis was more thorough than the often seen ebay/stockx/goat assessment. I hope you do more of this - I'm a fan and it's extremely insightful. Thanks!

I'd like to see how the carbon fiber in the Jordan 11s compare in authentic vs. fake. Thanks for making these videos, it's very informative!

[calicojakk]

I indulge in reps and retail. And the glue on reps is actually something that I have had an issue with quite a few times. A lot of reps really do use either inferior glue, or not enough of it.

[xavierrivera]

Made the switch to reps in 2020 and I've been so happy. My dunks skate just as long as real dunks and my Jordan's work great for casual wear.

[nickstiltson]

If you're wearing reps, more power to you if you're rocking the real thing props man all n all it dosent matter what you rocking on feet just do you 👊🏽

[tinbotanimation]

Really happy to see reps becoming more and more accepted in sneaker culture. They really are just as good as the real pairs aside from some slight flaws which you pointed out. Resell culture is toxic and needs to die.

One of the reasons you're likely getting no PSI readings is because the needle is going into the pillars. Do the PSI test from the inside of the shoes where you know you'll hit the air and not one of the support pillars.

YES! I've ben waiting on this video for a minute, thank you for doing all this information and understanding what the difference from reps to retail is/can be.

The thing I think a lot of people forget when you buy an authentic branded item is that you are not just paying for a certain level of production quality. A LOT of what you are paying for is the licensing of the brand logo. Dupes/fakes are often times made in the exact same factories by the same people with the same equipment, but when you cut out the costs you pay for licensing, distribution, marketing and retail, you are suddenly able to get the exact same product at a fraction of the price.

Definitely have to cover authentic and fake Jordan 4 at some point. Appreciate your coverage.

I own several authentic pairs of 1's but just recently purchased a couple of pairs of reps after doing some online research. Yeah, not paying 20X or more at resale for the authentic for better glue. LOL Thanks so much for the vid, basically validates what most that rock UA's knew. I was only skeptical of whether the reps had an air unit or used a different type of foam but nope! Afterall, they are all made in China anyways.

Man I’ve fallen back in love with your channel! Within the past week, I’ve went back through and watched almost all of the videos I missed along with the new uploads. Keep it up man!

[efrayimmosheh]

The one thing to take in to account too is the difference in quality of different Jordan 1 releases themselves. Cause some releases have better quality and craftsmanship.

[TheBlubberWhale]

It would be hilarious if you did one of these and pulled a fast one at the end where one of the fakes turns out to actually be the real pair

[Exonix]

please do jordan 4 real vs fake next! i'm sure there's a lot of other people wanting to see that too because jordan 4's are very popular now

[bestplayeralive]

You didn't get psi readings in the air units because you need to be standing in them for them to be under pressure. The compression of the sole decreases the volume of the air unit. This in turn increases the pressure of the neutral gasses. They cannot put compressed gas in the foam because it would bleed out due to atmospheric pressure differences. Decreasing the volume through sole compression is realistically the only way to create a pressurized pocket that isn't rigidly encased. This is why other manufactures also use this method.

[jcrides]

Fakes went out the back door, real went out the front!

[QuickQuips]

Honestly I'm surprised how closely they are material wise. I bet the next gen will be even better thanks to videos like this.

Next one would be fake Balenciaga sock shoes or that really bulky one.
