Terrible that you got scammed! Great videos man....keep up the good work!
even though I'm watching this in June, this really helped me a lot after I bought my ultra boosts from an Adidas store in China. This is literally the best reference video on RUclips ever. Thanks!!
Geordan Yuan thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Great video, very informative. It's funny how some people insist on them being real when they're NOT. Thanks for pointing out the differences, shiny sole dead giveaway. Sorry it happened to you, it's my biggest fear.....paying for authentic and getting fakes. Glad you got your money back and a legit pair, THEY ARE FIRE! You got a new sub.
thanks for this very informative and well presented video. i was surprised to see that you only had under 500 subs. i thought u were a big channel with 100k of subs. hope u get more subs bruh
Nice review! Please do more fake education like this.. And I am really curious about the boost material that they use.. I found new fakes now got pretty damn nice boost and prime knit.. Need more info of thesr
Hey thanks bro. I've considered grabbing fakes just for comparisons, but counterfeiters are charging dame near retail and I just can't afford it right now!
I commented that before I just saw you do it lmaooo
why are half of sneaker channels run by bald white with beards?
AD2 that’s a good question, but I’m only familiar with Thomas and Teddy...Who else is there? I’m from California and so is my channel 😉
not sure... but ive recently found your channel, and its pretty good !
AD2 haha, thanks bro. Appreciate it, much more to come here in the near future!
what's the performance on these reps? do you think they'll last and hold up?
Hard to say bro, I'm just not interested in fakes. A lot of them are getting rather scary good though I will say that. I may pick up a few fakes just to do comparisons here soon.
Thanks for the tips man, appreciate it. You should make more comparison videos (Fake Vs. Real), You'll be able to help more Sneakerheads, Great and On point reviews.
Eubert De Leon no problem bud. I’d consider it if I were getting the fakes for free, but I’m definitely not interested in investing any money into fakes.
Arjay I just recently received mine and a little bit in doubt, your vid surely clear the doubt I have. I hope someday fakes would perish even though its impossible.
not true on stripes at the back. they are inconsistent depending also on the size. bought mine from adidas directly. when you also check the regular 3.0 boost at the back, the number of stripes differ.
MrLebistus you are correct!
Hello, I found the video very informative. I don't own a pair of boost as of yet but I'm looking to purchase a pair. The few that I've seen on Ebay have a 'Continental' tag attached to the sneaker. It seems kinda odd to me, some what of a red flag. When you purchased your pair, did it come with the same tag attached on the side?
Yes completely normal, they're partnered with adidas and their rubber is used on the outsoles of the shoes
But i also see you wear sunglasses inside, do you wear them during love making?
I've had the shiny outsole on ultra boosts directly from ADC. If you put them on and walk around, they squeak like crazy and then once you've walked around for about 5 minutes, take them off and look at the sole again and they look normal. It's just new rubber. If you're buying resale, they aren't going to be shiny because someone's already put them on and walked around for a while.
SaveTEHInternets appreciate the comment, but these were 100% fake.
man those are amazing, I have those and at first thought those are legit. also on legit ultra boost on the torsion system on the center bottom of the shoe there is a little dot. its on all the legit pairs, almost looks like an imperfection but its on all of them. couldnt tell if that one had it or not but its something to look at. did u try them on, as comfy as retail UB?
Yep, you're right. These actually did have the dot, but it was slightly different than legit pairs.
very informative video man. i checked with my ultraboosts and i agree with you. those CNY are fake. btw the shillouette is kinda off too. the real one is a bit more pointy on the toe i guess and yours are more rounded
Absolutely, thanks for watching Ruman!
That really sucks though man those would have been a dope addition to your collection. Boost is life !
I snagged a legit pair, don't worry ;)
Damn that sucks man. $250 sounds like a steal. Too good to be true. I got mine for over $300
ItsYourBoyRyy Yep, it was too good to be true, but still managed to grab a legit pair for under three bills. Thanks for watching!!
Good video. I appreciate the info.
Hero Hour thanks for watching man, I appreciate you!
I ordered a pair on Amazon and from Amazon and got a completely different pair in the box, but happened to be a colorway I liked more (I guess lucky me), however this had me very suspicious. Upon closer inspection (especially with the super helpful details in this video plus reading through the comments) they definitely look completely legit. Amazon stuck their own product sticker over the original Adidas sticker, but it was the wrong sticker, so maybe some human error in the warehouse when putting their own barcodes on things.
The stripes are not always the same on all CNYs. It's not always 4. I bought mine in Adidas store in China and the left pair has 4 stripes and the right pair has 5.
Love the shoe and your videos !!
Great video!
Jerry Nobody Thank you! Appreciate that!!
Arjay Is there any chance to send you a few pictures of a CNY I am thinking about to buy? I am not sure if they are fake, too....
You can reach me on ig @ar.jay - Thanks for watching!
Did you know that Chinese (legit pair) boxes are different from what we have in NA? Looks like you didn't. Pair looks real to me
I didn't know that initially, but did notice it once I got my hands on a legit pair. Good call!
Sorry man. Those are fakes I compared with my pair.
Petr Dollonov yep they definitely were, all good though. I was refunded and came up on a legit pair.
I have the chinese box and I was always skeptic but the toe box was the main giveaway. I have an authentic pair and I can vouch too stating authentic pairs can also have the chinese box. Nice videos man.
drew ybarra Thank you!
The continental outsoles on the 4.0’s is slightly shiny as well so it may be the same on the 3.0’s
I mean seeing as how this video is now almost 2 years old and I've already spoken on the matter 107 times...I promise you these were fakes, but appreciate the input bro! 👍🏾
I have had my CNY for over a year now and I couldn't even spot the differences. That's crazy accurate.
GivemTheD yea they were definitely close!!
Did you get your money back? New sub btw 😇
Dylan Delaney yes I did and thanks so much man, means a lot!!
The stripes on the back don't really show it's not legit but the insole, rounded toecap pattern, and the outsole make it totally obvious. They are SCARY-good fakes. Ya'll in the comments saying they're real are finna get scammed.
forthebigwin Yea bro, I realized after the fact that stripes vary on fakes and legits, but yes these were insanely close! Thanks for watching!
Yeah man sorry you got scammed! I got my CNY's from Tmall and was super sketched out about whether they'd be real or not, but they ended up being real and I copped for an awesome price. Hope this never happens to you again!
forthebigwin appreciate it man, thanks again!
C
Nigga if you pay full price you're the one getting scammed
Wearing sunglasses to hide the tears.. :c
Heron hahahaha yes! 😂🤣 Thanks for watching!
i love the saints hat
Hey I had a question so on my ultra boosts so when I shine a flashlight on the bottom and it’s yellowy green. But when I shine the light around the toe area of the boost I see this red lettering. I can’t see what the letters are cuz it’s blurry. Plz check your pairs and tell me if you have this same thing
Bcgden never heard of any red lettering. If I get around to it I’ll check a pair one of these days.
Arjay it’s a pair of 4.0 btw
What color shows up when lit up
Dope channel. Just subscribed
SUCKA FREE thanks so much man, means a lot. Appreciate you!
Another thing I always check is the heel cup. The pair that was received had a shiny finish on the edges of the heel cup. I’ve never seen a shiny finish on any authentic pairs. I could easily spot those even in public.
I'm looking to buy triple black ultra boosts, the person I'm looking at has the box and labels does that mean there definitely real?
Greg Payne no, fake shoes come with fake boxes.
So for those who are interested, the guy I dealt with on IG is instagram.com/zneaker_lee/ - He did the right thing and took the shoes back. I received a full refund and partial shipping refund. He claimed he was selling for a buddy and had no idea they were fake. This isn't intended to bash him or what he has going on, but it's a fair warning to anyone who chooses to do business with him. Good luck!
yea he has no clue....lol check out his page now. he has size runs and size runs of Kaws. anytime i see a guy that looks like a serious plug like that and is following 4x as many people as he has followers its a red flag.
You're absolutely correct man. It was definitely a bad choice buying from the guy, but lesson learned and luckily found a legit pair after Paypal refunded me.
Holy moley, that guy posted 1000% authentic. LOL. Sorry, that guy is a terrible person. I feel really bad for people who didn't get their money back. :(
Hero Hour yea it's unfortunate that so many people like him exist in the sneaker community. Just have to really do your homework before you buy from any reseller these days.
Arjay dope thanks for the info!
Hello from China, I live in Guanghou and I'm sure the ub cny in this video is fake. 5 stripes on the back will be more convincing. And the outsole is obviously fake haha. Keep on bringing good videos to us man.
As you know, in China, there are no copyrights except for art. They literally have stores in malls that are all copied merchandise. Your friend may have bought his shoes at a fake Adidas store.
Shawn Andrews Definitely wasn’t a friend of mine, but there are endless possibilities of where the shoes came from. Thanks for watching!
High-end Yeezy/Ultraboost replicas use authentic Boost. That's the only way they can actually make money since the shoe is actually just as comfortable as the real thing.
SchneiderMan Yea unfortunately the fakes are getting very good!
This was a great tutorial. Amazing accurate fakes. I literally spent 10 minutes looking at my pair and I am still skeptical. My pair has 5 stripes and the bottom is not glossy. Can you legit check them for me Arjay?
Anthony Tran Hey Anthony, I can't make any promises, but message me on Twitter or Ig and I'll see if I can help. Thanks so much for watching, appreciate it!
Wow thx for the prompt reply. I will send some pics over!
Anthony Tran sounds good!
That’s good !
apart from the outsole and the toe box my cny's are the same, I have 4 stripes and mine are size 9. tho then again if the boost is real then idk if its a just factory defects.
Dante Afnan No, these were 100% fake. I've since returned them and managed to pickup two separate legit pair both of which revealed the subtle differences. Thanks for watching!
Arjay I'm surprised they got the boost so perfect, I cant think of how they got it that good
Dante Afnan Yep, it's pretty crazy how close they got on these.
Mine are real and have four stripes in the back and they are size 8.5
The EddyG yep unfortunately the rear panel isn't a good legit check spot, sorry!
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I bought a pair from an Adidas store in China, same 4 stripes at the heal.
Chris C Yep unfortunately the rear panel varies too often to be used as a legit check point. The best tell is the shape of the toe box. Thanks for checking out the video!
Ended up selling mine on. I knew there'd be hassle selling in the future - the fakers pretty much nailed these right away. Only really buy 1.0 but CNY's are a sweet 3.0 nonetheless.
Chris C Thanks again for watching!!
Some fakers r using the real material from Adidas factories at GuangZhou, thats why fakes look real nowadays.
Gavin Gao Unfortunate, but seems to be true!
Hey man I just picked a pair of these off kixify and was wondering if you could take a look at them for me? They seem legit but some things throw me off like the four stripe on the back and the laces. Thanks!
Hey Stephen, if you wanna hit me up on iG feel free. Typically if the outsole is overly shiny, the insoles are paper thin and the toe box doesn't round off then you're good to go. Talk soon!
Arjay what's your ig? The outsole is not shiney and the insole is not paper thin but this is my first pair of 3.0 so I'm still a noob haha thx!
Stephen Crudele ar.jay
Arjay thx sent you a message on there
Right on man!
Where did you get these from? Can I have the link?
ChillMell Did you watch the video my dude?
They look real to me I have the same shoes from adidas and it’s the same even the insole sometime is thicker sometimes is thinner
Appreciate the input, but they were absolutely fake. I have a legit pair now as well and they checked out.
Liked both shoes would like to have both pairs👍🏼cool video.gp-gap.
Hoping i can still get a response even though this vid is a couple months old...just bought a 9.5 pair off ebay and literally everything matches the other UBs i own, sole, laces, boost material, upper, and the bottom doesnt have a glossy/shiny finish like yours in the video the only problem is the fact that they have 4 stripes. I see the comments saying 4 stripes doesnt mean they're fake necessarily but this videos comment section is the only place i've seen anything about the 4 stripes. was wondering what you think i should do?
Hey Ben, you're more than likely fine. The rear panel stripes are not a tell when it comes to legit checks. if everything else checks out, you're probably okay. Hope that helps!
yea thanks, i just sent you a message on twitter too cause i didnt know if you'd get the message on here so disregard that one. thanks!
No worries man, appreciate you watching the video and checking out the channel!
subbed !
Justin Clark Thank you!
Not surprised...you can refer my UB 3.0 fake VS real viedo
Welly Lu yep it's all good, got it sorted and sourced a legit pair!
I have real mystery blues, granted that I've really worn mine in and I'm about 220lbs, the insoles are pretty flimsy. Not sure the flimsy insole means they're fake
abrahizzzle the flimsy insole was literally paper thin. I have a fair amount of Ultra Boosts and none of them were that thin. Appreciate you checking out the video though!
lol you have so many ultra boosts in the back, I wish I could own a pair.
XakXakGaming 😂
I can legit check Jordans but ultraboost Idk. I only buy from finish line, champs, foot action, etc because I can't tell or trust people. I don't want to get hustled
What are those shades?
Chad Heisler haha, Oakley Latch. Thanks for watching man!
I bought a pair of CNY UBs from Sole Supremacy....It seems like my pair is legit but they do have only 4 stripes on the heel but so do my Zebras and I got those directly from Footlocker in person..I think that might be bad information but other than that, good vid..thanks for the comparison....
albino polar bear yea man, don't let the stripes dictate the legit check, my newer legit pair have 4 on one side and 5 on the other. Sorry about that confusion!
Arjay hey bro, thanks for responding so quickly....appreciate that.... I have to admit though I got real panicked when I saw those four stripes on the back of my pair.. LOL.. much respect..
albino polar bear absolutely man, appreciate you checking out the video!
Hey, can you make a video on Asics orignal and fake shoes, if you have time.. thanks
Sorry bud, definitely not focusing on any Asics, legit or fake anytime soon.
Compared to mine the only real differences I had were not glossy outsole and the toe box cuts back in yours kinda just goes straight down and is too thick just before the curve
Mine is 9.5 and only has 4 stripes that means nothing one of mine has 5 and the other 4
Yep, appreciate the input!
Arjay I was convinced for the longest of times mine were fu
Tough with these
That’s exactly what I have man. Regrets! The serial numbers are the same on the left and right which according to experts are fake.
Farfetch.com sells those for $399.
Yea it’s unfortunate these were so heavily faked. I’m glad I finally snagged a legit pair for a good price.
By the way, thanks for watching!!
I have the same size (9.5uk). My sole isn't that shiny and the back heel does have 5 stripes. Sucks he scammed you bro :/
midicronica1 it's all good man, it's been sorted out. Thanks for watching the video, appreciate it!!
The question is, does the fakes performs as good as the originals? hope somebody out there had the chance to compare
Roy considering the materials used on an authentic pair are a bit more high quality and applied to the shoe after testing and such, I’d say the fakes are probably not outperforming the real.
Bro,I'm a buyer of reps,if I can't cop retail, & resell price is crazy,I'll buy a rep version, & tbh,alot of reps now are BETTER QUALITY, & LESS IMPERFECTIONS than retails!
If you bought that many ultraboost you should know a real or fake pair from the smell alone.as long as they are ds.
Boost is life
Does the fake one feel as comfortable as the real ultra boost?
Honestly not sure, didn't even try them on before I sent them back. I wouldn't rock fakes so it didn't even cross my mind. Sorry!
What's different about the Adidas logo in the insole?
Antoine Thisdale hard to tell unless you have a real one next to it. Just different texture and such.
Arjay you are playing yourself. Your ultraboost cny is real. Im a reseller myself and i bought in more than 10 pairs when it was released. The stripes behind varies depending on size. Theres nothing wrong with the adidas logo underneath the insole as well
False buddy, I've since bought two pairs and have been refunded on these confirmed fakes. Appreciate you watching though my dude!
Could it be, the guy wore them, and tried to sell them as new using a new aftermarket insole? Baby oil on outsole to clean and make it look new.
No,
Could it be a factory reject?
No, different knit patterns and materials used to construct the shoe. Definitely a fake. Thanks for watching though!
It's become to the points where the fakes are good enough that the factories could make actual shoes and they would be good shoes
wseamon12 yep! unfortunate, but true.
the way I know they're fake is by putting them on to feel the boost but that only works for ultra boost
Yea these felt real to be honest, but none the less appreciate you watching!
Good video, dude you must have money to burn to take a punt on $250 shoes from Taiwan. I feel sorry for anyone who gets ripped off but the story the buyer told you was bogey as hell.
Theyre still cool looking kicks all the same.
elflakeador09 haha idk about money to blow. Some of these shoes hold their value and then some. There are people out there with crazier priced kicks and a lot more money!
the lesson is tht 250 for cnys r too good to be true
I suppose today you're correct, but back a few months ago it was definitely reasonable. I managed to grab two legit pair since this was posted for $260. Either way, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!!
I copped a pair of ultraboost uncaged recently and i have the same shiny outsole but except for that,everything seems real, all the english wordings and lables. I did not suspect it because that pair was released 2-3 years ago so maybe the old outsole would look like that, can you or anyone help me to check it out? Thanks
I can't speak on your sneakers, but the ones in this video were absolutely 100% without a doubt fake. As I've said countless times since the release of this video, I got a real pair in hand and the differences were obvious. Good luck with your pair, hope their legit. Thanks for watching!
@@therjscott aite thanks bro
appreciate your comment hehe
3:20 if you want to see the shoe.
Great video, I also got scammed by another Ebay Seller, right of the bat I see mine is fake due to that there wasn't any nipples on the side of the boost. I was able to get my refund though
Anthony Li glad to hear you were able to resolve it!!
Bro, I got a pair from Adidas China, and I'm 99% sure your pair is real. :^)
Nathan Zhou these were definitely fake. They've since been returned and refunded and I managed to get a hold of a legit pair.
I have fake ones of these, the continetal outsole wasnt shiny on mine, but at the abckheel it has 3 black stripes. Other then that mine are spot on and literally noone can tell. Well i havent seen anyone on the streets with them like me anyways. My fakes costed me 50bucks, so I was happy.
Flamur Syla haha right on man! Thanks for checking out the video, appreciate it!
Arjay The newer fakes have 4 blackstripes though. But the continental soles ones were n8t shiny. Fakes are becoming better and better lately.
Flamur Syla Hey! Yep you're right. Fakes are getting too good. Thanks again for watching!
is that a River Cats hat in the back?
It most definitely is, got it on in some of the latest videos. You from Sacramento Guy?
Yea I'm from Sac
That's awesome. Lived there for a couple years and miss it a ton!
Personally i think the lunar new year is more fire then the Chinese New Year... that’s my opinion
Yea it's definitely all personal preference, appreciate you watching!
Pls tell me ,where're buy at ??
Blackindedkmitl sorry man, the CNY is sold out and has been for months!
Thanks you guys
You're welcome!
Just look at how thick the boost sole is.
Gsu Hey man, thanks for taking a look. The midsole actually wasn't even off, the boost checked out. Outsole and toe box were the tells. Thanks again!
I have a legit Ultraboost ST and it has glossy outsoles.
may I know the name of the guys who check if they're real or fake?
btw, good video man
Carlos Fung thank you and if you're looking for a legit check just message me on Instagram or Twitter. Thanks for watching!
so basically you got some $80 quality fakes for $250, damn.
Oh wait just looked at my 4.0’s they ain’t shiny
the way you can tell real boost is hold a flashlight under the boost. see if the boost looks like clear silica balls. if so ...real. if it looks like dark pebbles ...fake
thejordanwears ADIDAS unfortunately the boost on these checked out, it was other details that lead to proving them fake. Thanks for watching, appreciate it!
My pair are 9.5 and they have 4 lines and everything else is the same as your pair, only the continal sole its not shiny. I got my pair from stockx
That insole xD
Jose Oliveros yep, the fake continental outsole was a dead giveaway. StockX is definitely the way to go!
there is only 4 stripes on the back... not 5
That's not necessarily true. The stripes on the back panel can actually vary from shoe to shoe.
Does any know a group chat for finding out if shoes are real or not
Richard J.m I'd suggest finding a reputable local shop to help you out or even a Facebook group. Hope that helps!
Richard J.m You can use the subreddit repsneakers. They do legit checks and even quality control checks. I've used them before to legit check my Ultra Boost 3.0 Oreos/Zebras.
Bro i gotta say those are so close as hell. They are good fakes tho only flaw i see is the shiny outsole.
REinvented Yep they were crazy close, but definitely fake. Luckily I found a legit pair shortly after. Thanks for watching!!
Arjay Did you get a refund?? Hope ya did.
A hard shoe to fake but they have it CLOSE
I got a pair of ultra boosts dna 4.0 Chinese new year from Burlington for 35
But does it matter if they are fake?
What if they are comfortable?
Areeb, it matters to me because I’m personally not into supporting the production of fraudulent goods. I understand spending ridiculous money on materialistic items isn’t for everyone, but I’m looking for the real deal when I make purchases. To each their own, just my thoughts.
I just recently ordered a pair of parley ultraboosts of eBay for $60 and I’m scared that they will be fake
Areeb Haroon they might be, link me the listing.
RJ Scott they have been worn three times according to the seller and they are parley ultraboosts in the legend ink/carbon colorway
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Adidas-Ultraboost-Parley-UK9-/292879524842?txnId=0
I think your CNYs are real
damn.. the fake these day are so unreal.. now i doubt my nmd
Nabil Fikri Arif Amirrudin fakes are definitely getting better and better. I just try to stick to reputable retail shops when possible!
That’s why you should pay that money at a reputable retailer homie...
Sometimes things just happen man. I've bought and sold plenty of shoes and the majority of the transactions go smooth. Even "trusted" retailers have a few things slip through the cracks.
should have ordered on GOAT
iMarks Tech Unfortunately GOAT has been a bit high on pricing lately. All good though, I managed to get a refund and cop a legit pair for a few more bucks. Thanks for checking out the video man!!
actually, now you got me questioning my pair.. lmao cause yours looks literally EXACTLY like mine.
I also ordered yeezys from them,.. hope I dont regret that :(
iMarks Tech Tweet me some shots of the outsoles and toe boxes. I might be able to help you out a bit with an opinion!
iMarks Tech I ordered from GOAT also and mine look similar to these. Same box for sure. Pissed if they are fake.
Take a close look at the Continental outsole and the insoles. If insoles are super flimsy and they have a ridiculously shiny outsole I'd be concerned. Toe box is also a good way to legit check. Thanks for checking out the video!
you lost me at "I still like nike"
threestripes333 Haha, I will always have love for Nike, but that doesn't mean I don't LOVE adidas and everything they're doing!
Fakes nowadays has the same mid sole as the real ones
samueltc yes they do.
Why the fake manufacturer puth thin laces and thin sole if they can minic almost believably perfect, what they get as profit lol
I am not sure I follow, but appreciate you stopping by 👊🏽
Bought 190 € ultraboosts the other day and im realy disappointed i mean they ware so bad could atleast make beeter fakes
Damn they make fake ultras now? Wtf . I either buy retail or take a L.
johnnysimsyo unfortunately they make fake everything. I'm with you though, no point in wearing fakes period.
