Literally. I got a pair from DHgate that were identical to my real ones. They lasted longer too. Got 2 pairs for 55$ vs 1 pair of "real" ones for 130$ lol
Or spend 50 to 60 $ and get shoes that are actually good like Accel slims or Maranas, while supporting actual skate brands instead of overpriced fashion scamlords like Nike.
@@SkateIntel Awesome shoes, but I strongly suggest the use of shoe goo with them or with any other traditional cupsole, like the dunks as well, in order to get the most out of them. Otherwise the outsole will strongly outlast the uppers, like at least twice the lifetime or more. Or maybe you're doing the reviews under the assumption that not everybody will use shoe goo, idk.
Even though reps weren't meant to be skated, for obvious reasons, the fact that they even were above the standard of the real ones tells you everything about them. But for those that had been yearning to skate SB Dunks for the last 4 years, there's good news! Nike will always keep Orange Label Dunks in stock, effective immediately. So, if you lucked out on this month's shipment, fear not. Not only there will be more on the way, you can buy them just like any other shoe.
Great video! Suprise on those fake ones, especially the durability. I just notice that dunk has 2 series, dunk and dunk sb. I got a white/black "panda" colorway and they wreck superfast. So I think you should make a video tell everybody that the difference between 2 models.
@@SkateIntel I’m not sure, but it definitely has a huge difference. Dunk and dunk sb are two different shoe. You can get a pair of black/white panda since it belongs to dunk series.
Non-SB dunks are *not* made for skateboarding at all. Remember, they were originally basketball shoes but are now just lifestyle shoes. The general release (meaning not specially limited or collab) regular dunks are made out of incredibly cheap and poor materials. They will basically instantly break down if you do anything more intense than just walk around in them. They are pretty much the lowest quality Nike shoe you can buy.
@@Wladislav Thanks! I now know why my black/white panda colorway breaks so fast compared to SkateIntel's model. I mean only 1 month for regular skaters, the toebox is completely busted and the toecap has been peeled off, seriously? Nike?🤣
@@ericnealson3684 Yeah, even for regular wear the quality of those is crap. You are better off using Nike By You and creating the colourway you want there. The leather quality will be better. You cannot make SB dunks though.
Honestly in another three or four years Nike is going to have some trouble differentiating themselves form the replicas. They’re getting better and better and faking them.
If you want to try out some Replica skate shoes go to CopShoe.RU and use code "Skate" for $15 off!
Not all heroes wear capes
Much love Ethan! 🙌
Always appreciate the care that goes into these videos
also, would you skate a pair of normal dunks just to see SB vs regular?
If I can get my hands on some I’m down Forsure! Will try my best. Thanks for watching 🫶
The thing is you can trust him cause it’s very easy to tell he skates the living shot out of them then reviews the shoe
Yessir! Always try to skate the shoes before making the reviews 💯👊
DHgate has the best fakes. And WAY CHEAPER THAN 155$. I got 2 pairs for 55$ and they are legit af. Look literally identical!
Modern copies of SB dunks are almost exactly the same as the official ones and will skate just the same.
For real it’s wild! I may or may not have another fake pair on the way 😬💯

Facts! Was just looking at Accel's think I'm going to try them out 💯

Amazing how well the fakes skated!
Yes! Almost as good as the real ones 💎

Love to hear that! Reps are a great option for those fancy colorways you can’t get but they still cost more then retail
best skate reviewer on the internet🙏
Appreciate you Ben! 👊💯
Looking good Sir, hardly recognized you with the facial hair. Great job buddy with the vid ❤️
Thanks! Switching it up a bit. Hope all is well with you and the family! 🙌

I didn’t know that! Is it the suede vs the leather maybe? I’ll look into it 💯

Very true! My most recent video is a Rep pair of the new huf collab and they are spot on the same as the real ones it’s wild
