Thanks for watching!
For reals bro. I show up to school with the really cool Jordan’s with the backwards swoosh and everyone thinks I’m so cool. I have no idea why the real ones are so expensive xDDD!!!
Cactus Jack would be proud🔥🌵🚀
"With the backwards swoosh" bro please at least learn their name for fucks sake😭
They are made the same damn way. Faces sometimes look better than the real ones.
Your a child and dont understand limited commodity markets
No one thinks you're cool for ur fake travis' gang💀
YOU are faking YOURSELF if you think designer items are worth the cost. 😂
Well said
For real Nike is overrated anyways
@RAMIRO0good reps can last years 😂
@@MpPickzeven bad reps tbh
@RAMIRO0 nah dude 20 bucks on dhgage you get wearable shoes
2 reasons they've said that:
1. Resellers tryna gaslight the market audience so that they can leverage themselves which is just pointless considering the price differences.
2. Some people are jealous that someone is getting the same or more attention than them wearing the cheaper option.
If you're broke just say that 🤷♀️
@@user-in7tb1ix6t u love getting raw dogged by resellers and nike aren’t u?
@01suku shii, guess I do. Keep rockin them reps tho gang🔥💯😂😂
@@user-in7tb1ix6t while getting hella compliments 😂🔥
@@user-in7tb1ix6t yea but to ask u an honest question, if u think a shoe looks nice, why not just get reps if reselling has made them hard to get? In theory its pretending to be someone ur not, but not every shoe looks good like a collaboration ya feel?
People buy replicas of items because they like how the item looks and don’t wanna sell their house just to get it, it’s not because we “are not being ourselves” it’s because we don’t care about the value of the product and only care about the looks.
Fr bro, I love how the Travis Scott dunk lows look and u don’t wanna buy the real ones cuz they’re 1k dollars, better to just buy repa
Realize ya making the real product more valuable. if it isn’t worth it I wouldn’t pay $1 or $1000 just pass 😂
they doin it cuz prices is 450 brotha 😂
Ya I'm not going to spend 450 on something that truly is worth 120
So what ? Buy sketches are that you’re mother can actually buy you
If you’re broke then wear clothes that’s in your league instead of faking your entire life just because you’re desperate enough to look like you’re “ballin”
@@spikesgaming1960can you say that again, but this time in english.

@@Lee-ic2ynHow are you a sheep? Going broke just to buy something that should cost 150-180 bucks for 800-900 dollars because some douchebag bought out a large chunk of the supply with a bot so he could get rich? Nah, I’ll stick with the reps. Resellers are causing the rep market in the first place, like the guys who bought up all the Jordan 1 Tophy rooms and now they’re 1500-2000 a pair…lmao who’s really the sheep here buddy?
@@v8monster23damn you want Travis that bad 😂😂😂😂😂
There is ZERO incentive for anyone to be loyal to ANY shoe manufacturer sans endorsement contract. You spend money on a product that's marked up exorbitantly at retail, then subjected to further mark ups dictated by individuals that create scarcity of said product solely for profit and expect the rest of the consumer base to follow suit. Yea, it's madness. Tulipmania all over again.
Well said!
Yes!
Meanwhile the fakes and real thing are being made using the same material and the workers are both being paid $0.50 an hour overseas.
Men buy power tools and invest money into office equipment to earn Millions. Lil boys out here buying cheap shoes to get some attention.
Imagine taking 2 items that look and function the exact same way and trying to call someone dumb for getting the cheaper one 💀. Have fun buying 10 dollar products for 600 bucks goofies.
Facts gang, markup be like 2000-3000% or more on some of these designer brands. Shits crazy.
Fr I just want Travvys Ive been listening to his music for years but never had a chance to get his shoes
they're prisoners of capitalism 🤣🤣🤣
if you can’t afford a shoe don’t buy it then. ur logic makes 0 sense bc you’re mad at the inflated price that got caused by high demand. So for everyone agreeing w you they should all just start putting ferrari body kits on their hondas and wearing rolex from offerup cuz it’ll look “exactly the same”
@@user-mq5jd5wy6pbut the things you describe actually do look different. In a lot of cases reps are actually better quality than the real thing so people who buy the real ones are actually buying a worse product for a way higher price
Resellers are one of the main reasons people have to wear fakes. They tax people so hard it's insane. Back in the 90's pretty much everyone got shoes if they wanted to, from a regular shoe store.
Exactly.
Nobody HAS to weak fakes
If you cant get the real just get something else
@Lee-ic2yn if they want the shoes that came out only way they can afford to is by getting fakes. Resellers take the common person and ruin any chance they have of getting something special. It would suck growing up and never being able to get the shoes you want because they sell out in secs.
@@Lee-ic2yndickhead
@@Lee-ic2ynthing is, a lot of people want a shoe that a company ain't producing.
Chicago 1s for example. A basic white and red Jordan 1, great casual shoe that goes with a lot. Huge demand for a sneaker like that, but Nike isn't meeting that demand. So, if someone is set on getting that shoe, they have two options. They can buy it from a reseller at a massively increased price, or they can get something else as you said. Reps are that something else for a lot of people who just like the shoe.
If Nike won't sell them the shoe, then they won't be buying the Nike shoe.
It’s not necessarily trying to be somebody that you aren’t. Some people just want to get away with spending money on something that shouldn’t even cost that much (fashion wise).
Others just want to wear the shoes they want without having to spend a ridiculous amount of money.
Clothes should never cost your whole rent check. I'll never see value in that
I don't think that goods like clothes say how you are 🤦♂️
Fr like what’s the problem with picking a pair of fake shoes that put a smile on ur face so many people worry about other and living for their happiness and expectations
pretentious people who think they are superior for wasting there money on fabric nylon leather when you got slightly worse fabric nylon leather for 10 times less the price financial sheep
Exactly
Fake yeezy's back in like 2015 were literally the comfiest shoe I've ever owned
Where do u get fakes from
@@Just_Teypandabuy or other sites like that
I have a fake pair of Yeezy’s that are now 8 years old. I just cleaned them up and they still look brand new. I literally beat the living hell out of them and they won’t die. The most bullproof pair of sneakers I own. Definitely outlasted all my real sneakers that old.
I recently bought some Yeezys from a guy that was selling them in the flea market,one of them you can easily tell are fake because of the SPLY=SPLV but the other pair you can pass as real and I like how comfortable they are I bought them 10xs less than what 1 original pair cost but not a lot of people care what you wear nowadays only the resellers and or sneaker heads the rest of the world have better things to do than to pay attention to what you wear
Imagine spending a months rent on a shoe😂😂
theyll retaliate by telling you cant affotd it sheep mentaluty to buy the real thing that is slightly better 10 times the price sure you got more money but that doesnt fundamentally change you if you buy materialistic items for the sake of flexing you are a sheep
They be homeless( not paying rent/mortgage) with cheap ( Jordan's are cheap sneakers) shoe's on their feet.....
It doesnt matter what you wear if you enjoy it then its good
Best way to approach fakes, buy a pair, give them to a friend then ask that friend to gift them back. No guilt feeling anymore .
That’s too much for me😂🤯
L take
If ur friend is paranoid about receiving fakes, but trusts that you're giving 'em the real deal, I'd actually feel even more guilty. I ain't about to be as fake as my shoes lol. If I wanna get fakes that's my decision, but I can't do my bro dirty like that 😂
What guilt feeling?
Brands keep you poor...buy whatever suits your pocket.
glad someone has a brain
finally not a pretentious snob
Resellers killed the streetwear game I’m good ima buy a really nice pair of reps no matter what I have the connects I can live with myself lol
Yeah mate fund the chinese communist party and fund people having even less rights to make these trainers.
Fantastic alternative all because you are a cheap arse.
sneaker collecting is a hobby for alot of people, so if they find enjoyment out of spending money on it, so be it. it also makes sense for people to not wanna pay 1k+ for some shoes. its their money, it’s their choice
i personally pay for real sneakers bc i feel better when i wear them and it feels good to get them on drop/win a raffle, but again to each their own
I’m right there with you Mori👌
@@nyc.shyeee"real sneakers"? they're all made in China😐
@@TB21hunnid then buy reps idc what you do with your money
@@TB21hunnidNot all Nike shoes are made in China. Even bad cheap product are made in China.
People wear fakes because resellers are holding all the shoes and controlling the resale prices. F-em, let them keep the hype. Ill keep my money.
If you manage to cop a pair retail, most nike shoes aren't too steep in price, but the shoes that are like 2k for no reason fair enough, but don't buy red October's tho they just make you look tacky
“When you buy fakes, you’re trying to be someone you’re not”
So let me get this straight: paying hundreds for a big red pair of boots makes you “authentic”, but understanding the value of money & opting into an identical Rep Jordan 1, for a fraction (yet somehow still *overpriced* , honestly) of the price of a real Jordan 1, makes you fake?
hilarious isn’t it😂
I wear replicas mainly because they are a fraction of the cost and 90% of the value you are paying for big names is just for the name
then why buy fakes of that brand might as well buy no name shoes

@@slattslattslatt well most of the ones I know with reps can’t afford to drop $1000 on a shoe or even $500.
If your budget can go buy original go for it IF not dont stop them to buy yourself a reps.... mygod why this has to be a debate
I’ll take a nice rep of the Yeezy 2s any time. I thought paying $700 for them back in high school was insane, and I think its psychotic if you’re really willing to drop $3K+ for a cooked pair. I’ve seen so many people wear theirs out in public just to look disappointed when literally no one cares that they got these super cool expensive shoes on 💀
Trading Yeezy 2s for a used car could be a good vid👀
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I can see it happening. People back then were trading their used cars for a pair of Galaxy Foams lmao
90% of resellers are middle class so the fact they wear STREETWEAR means there faking themselves cause they ain't from the streets!! 💯
I’m upper middle class now but I was from the streets most of my childhood. Still wear streetwear.
If I like it I'm going to wear it.
It only makes sense if you view fashion and the brands you wear as your identity. Most people just think a thing looks nice. And if it’s significantly marked up, they’re going to find alternatives.
thank you for having a brain lol
I actually prefer fakes... F**k them corporations. If I were to start I streetwear company today, I'd call it Fake Louie.
Until you realise fakes are made by people being paid even less without the regulations 😂😂 literally so dumb
All these sneaker companies have their manufacturing companies based in CHINA. Those same manufacturers are making the ones you call fake, china is brilliant!
i’d support 😂
Fr tho, i would rather wear fakes than wear a 25k sneaker while being broke af
Nowadays with resale prices dying down there’s so many good sneakers that aren’t reselling for crazy prices
Yeah but the other option is just buying a different pair of shoes that doesn't cost crazy and looks good.
Only people who care about shoes think your a fake, I’ll wear fakes I don’t mind. Cheaper too!
if you broke af than a 25K sneaker should be the last thing you should be wanting lol. If you can't afford it it's not for you. Go buy some good GR's
@@ZonbiZonbi89 literally theres always nice pairs of Air max 90s or AF1 or React visions or some Adidas sambas/gazelles etc etc
But people only care about hype rather than actually enjoying shoes. I have some hype shoes in my collections but for evey jordan 4s i have a pair of Cortez's lol
My Jordan mocha replicas just came in today 😂. You have to really stare at a shoes to tell if it's real or not these days.
Where do u get fakes from
@@Just_Tey idk if you’re still wondering but DH gate is good
Do what makes you happy. I don’t personally buy fakes but I don’t knock people that do. Same with all those people who buy hundreds of pairs to resell for a profit, whatever. Do what makes you happy.
I can fw a style without wanting to pay hundreds of dollars for its name.
Reps 😭
thank you!😂 idk why people care sooooo much. if i don’t want to spend hundreds just for the name (which i don’t care about) whyyyy does it matter?😂 i care about the design anyways lol
The popularity behind fakes is a true example of the free market. Scalpers have made it to hard to buy shoes and people are just reacting to being priced out.
They only say that because they’re mad they spent hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars on something, and they see someone get the same product for a fraction of what they paid
Some sneakerheads seem to be scared of fakes ruining sneaker culture, but it hasn’t changed that much from my view
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon reps are helping sneaker culture. majorty of sneakerheads are just hypebeast resellers that get mad for the reason the original comment said
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon You're afraid you won't be able to sell your 100$ shoes for 500$ if it happens. I hope reselling dies and nike just adds a shit ton of shoes and kills you guys business

@@flipalips1173 is this how you cope with buying overpriced garbage? lmao
Its actually quite the opposite for people who spend $300 on pair of shoes to feel special or fit in while they "flex" on everybody else who can't and that's why they hate replicas
Them darn resellers bro
Wearing fakes is a message „lower your prices and I’d be glad to shop with you but when you charge over 300 for a pair of j4s then we have a problem!“
Let’s be honest here, some reps look better and are even better quality than the originals 😂
I blame the "botters". But in a way they have also done us a favour because reps are so good these days, who actually needs to get ripped off with retail prices any more??
Nothing wrong with buying fakes, just don’t claim it to be original.
This! Don’t be on the Gram or at a sneaker convention trying to flex 😂.
ON POINT! Also don’t deceive others by saying it is original
I remember in high school when people used to expose people for wearing fakes I think wear whatever makes you comfortable
Soo.... If your fakes somehow get robbed you can be like they fake anyways! 😂
The reason reps are so popular is due to all the greedy people that made it impossible for regular people to buy the real ones for the actual price
I honestly do agree, I don't see a reason for buying reps at all. If I don't score the shoe I like on release then I just get another pair or try again next time. There are also other brands than Jordan and Yeezy out there, just saying. If you get a fake shoe then you are most certainly trying to associate yourself with that 'brand', there is no way around that.
I do understand the argument tho, resell culture is certainly fucked up but you will never catch me buying or wearing reps.
THANK YOU. This is the only comment that makes sense here. If all of streetwear and sneakers were reps then there's no point. Might as well just wear generic non-branded apparel. You're trying to obtain a specific look but if you can't afford that then that's not the space you need to be in. Start from the bottom, buy piece by piece and build your collection like we've always done. Trade up, double up, sell or do what you gotta do to get that grail but reps should NEVER be an option
@@ZonbiZonbi89 sooooo true
This!
No matter how people wanma put it they wanna portray themselves as something theyre currently are not or can afford
Theres a reason why you'll never see fakes of something like Air Max trainer SC lol or some Adidas Sambas
Resell culture is messed up but people are lying to themself if that's the only reason why they resort to reps
If i cant get the shoe i want ill ever get it on resell if the price is right or find another pair of shoe I want.
@@ZonbiZonbi89 lol it’s crazy too because the less money you have, the harder you have to go on your fits. this would spark more creativity in my opinion. And id be more impressed if someone could go crazy on an outfit with limited funds then someone with money who just buys designer.
@@20thcenturyskin 100% then once you can afford more you sprinkle in designer pieces here and there. It’s the natural progression for a sneaker/fashion head. Like just recently started adding some off-white pieces here and there like accessories, everything else subtle and basic
i used wear fake ones at that moment i can’t afford them. but not because to lied myself and other, but because i just like them.
I wear replicas with no guilt or shame. I’m not even a sneakerhead, if a shoe goes with the fit then why not wear fakes. Who gives af.
People outside the US don’t care or watch for fakes like in the US. Shoe culture isn’t big like that in Europe.
If your curious on legitimate arguments against fakes, I share them in my recent video. End of the day, wear what makes you happy👌

I don't wear reps but hes saying it like its the 7 sins
he said he disagrees with it
Use your brain dog
i say that people who wear reps shouldn’t be embarrassed and all that stuff but the people talking abt how and why u shouldn’t buy reps and stuff and saying that “ThEy DoNt ReTaIn ThErE vAlUe” they are the exact reason why people buy reps and they are ruining the sneaker community.
For the People that buy fakes, just buy regular stuff. Since it don’t matter lol
Lmao what that made no sense
I've noticed people usually buy reps cuz they wanna fit in the sneakerhead community but dont have the money to spend on it yet in my opinion.
@slatt Hahahah exactly, the internet is full of these people who think they've said something profound
Why do you care what other people wear?
if i buy fakes it’s because i care about the design, not the designer lol. no way im spending hundreds on a shoe just because of the brand when all i care about is the shoe design lol 😂
If you can’t afford something, why would you go after a lesser quality good just for the look, instead of a less expensive higher quality shoe?
Tbh I buy reps because I’m broke😂
I buy reps when I can't find the retail ones, and I'm not broke. I'm just being smart with my money
and that’s also fine 😂
To me, it’s more “I like the fashion, I don’t care where it was actually made” and “pay less for the same thing”, then it ever being about “maybe these people will think I’m rich because I’m wearing discount Yeezy’s”
My biggest preference for fakes is simply because of how cheaper they are. Even with this fact, I still rarely even buy fake shoes and jerseys having only done it in a total of 6 times. It was always the thought of having that look I wanted with the shoes which make me appreciate having fakes instead for the benefit of my allowance or my parents if they're the ones who buy it.
*edit*: I only focus on the thought of why they bought these fakes for me, and any gift they give me is never worthless. I don't even ask my parents to buy me anything anymore, I just do my best in school to make them happy so that I make sure the money they spent for my wants are paid off by my hard work.
Even if the sneaker they bought for me is fake, the love and thoughtfulness they put into spending that money to buy me makes it worth more than any legit sneaker worth over a billion dollars.
Plus, I actually prefer window shopping more than actual shopping, to the point where I try to learn prices of objects and calculate an imaginary budget. When I said "preference for fakes", its cause I like window shopping through this big ass market selling them nearby. Since I live pretty far from where those big shopping malls and outlets can be found, I like spending my time looking at all the fakes at that market and counting how much each would cost.
So sue me, but I have a soft spots for fakes.
Buying fakes is literally burning your parents money though because they are literally worthless.
Buying fake jewelry will turn you green, the only thing buying reps will do is hurt a sneakerheads feelings 😂 idgaf about any of that, people are slow and can’t seem to remember when you leave this earth you can’t take your expensive shoes with you 😂
They are dissing people because they’re paying way less then they are for something that looks the same for something they overpaid for
why do you care
The only opinion that matters about which sneaker you wear is your own, as long as you're honest.
If I can’t afford it it’s not for me. Simply won’t wear fakes
Because resellers arbitrarily inflated the market over the last 5 years the shoe isn't for you? Yall be on some weird flexes.
@ICECOLDcase3 why assume he buys from resellers?
if u rly think abt it “real “ shoes and “reps” are made within the same regions with similar factories. one just has the rights with the Nike company while the other does not.
Faking myself?
Geez 🤦🏻♂️
I’d be faking myself by not being realistic and aware that I’d be out my mind spending tons of money in clothing
I’ve been getting reps since I first understood the concept of them at 12 yrs old
fr
I think it's a mix between "not trying to get bullied for wearing cheap brands" and not being able to afford the expensive ones.
You can get the real brands without breaking the bank. I just bought brand new Pumas for 30 bucks at Ross. A few months ago I bought slightly used Air forces near perfect condition for 25 bucks at a flea market. So what if it's not a super limited edition sneaker that only whoever is famous wore.
some fake look better the real one .always supply and demand.
THE GIRL SNIFFING THE SHOE THOUGH- 😅😭
I wear fakes and will always post them
Its crazy how much people wear reps now they say “its the same thing” but its not the quality is significantly worst and noticeable just work hard and save your money and buy the real deal instead of copping a fake pair ….
I bought reverse mocha replicas because I think it’s a nice shoe and I’m not paying 1700 usd for a god damned shoe 😂
I've gotten a ton a compliments on mine
MOST people buy designer clothing and buy high-end items to over compensate their "normal" lives. It's all about public image to these people.
I personally buy things for the best comfort and value. Not about a specific brand or public status.
The only real downsides are that if you don't know exactly what you're after, the appeal of cheap designer/fashionable clothes promotes buying a lot of clothes you don't need, aren't versatile, and will leave you pigeonholed in the typical r/fashionreps flashy style - very easy since those flashy but one note pieces are what's produced the most. Shop smart and versatile, know what style you want, and reps can be a useful tool
I’m not very articulate so I’m not sure how to word this but buying a fake watch should be legitimately frowned upon because of the craftsmanship that goes into making a genuine one
The issue is that some shoes are immediately out of stock like kobes or other popular shoes and reselling prices are so insane that its not worth it anymore. Its like its better to buy fakes if you cant get em on retail prices or at least close to it.
Spending thousands of dollars on a pair of sneakers is the definition of pretending to be something or someone you arent. Literally most actual rich people dont wear expensive clothes. its always the poor people wearing expensive clothes becuase they want to act like they're rich
The rise in buying reps is a result of resellers being vultures and wanting to sell you a sneaker that costs 150 for 500 plus.
General rule of knocks off, reps, bootlegs, etc
If it’s as good or even better than the original, it’s a win win.
People will say people who buy replicas are trying to be someone they’re not but then will spend all their money on shoes they can’t really afford. Is that also in a way “being someone you’re not”? In the end it’s just clothes.
It re-sellers didn’t F up the market we wouldn’t have to.
ALSO, ain’t no better feeling than messing up your sneakers on a night out and not having to worry about them because you can just buy another pair, that for me is worth every reason to buy reps
You an also get colours you always wanted that you’d have to pay some reseller for because the shoe isn’t currently on the market. When you buy a sneaker that isn’t on the market, you’re not even taking money from the brand. You’re just not giving it to somebody trying to make extra off a product you couldn’t get.
I never fully understood the anti fake crowd. Like, I'd understand if you were buying replicas from a family owned businesses, but when youre buying fake Jordans noones really getting harmes
the only people who are against reps, are the people reselling and buying reps at marked up prices, the people buying real shit trying to look better than those who don’t, and the companies themselves 😭
Maybe some people genuinely f wit da products but aint spending thousands on it
Replicas are fine, shouldn’t bother no one, not everyone can afford like 1k pair of shoes and some people would much rather pay $100-$150 for a 1:1 high quality replica pair and spend the 850-900 elsewhere
Fakes are a moral issue for me but I won’t fault anyone for wearing fakes because these huge corporations have a bunch of moral issues. I’d be a hypocrite to judge people for buying fakes.
Thing is replicas in 10 years wont be a thing because companies are cracking down on fakes sellers
Not everyone can afford designer but getting stuff quality made close to it and paying close to it is good enough.
No resellers are the problem now they are pannicking because the brands are pushing out more product so theres no longer scarcity of demand.
Idc if me or someone else was to where fake shoes but like if there is a very serious flaw in the shoes than that’s a problem for me
if u like how something looks and it looks good on you even if it doesn't meet this condition and you want to wear it just wear it buy a cheaper version cause the only difference is the thing u put in the end in your shoes can make your 10$ shoe like 1000$just by 12bucks
People wear fakes because the authenticities is made so limited or the sale is botted up ridiculously. Resellers also at least triple the price in most cases to where purchasing the item is not cost efficient at all. Wear fakes or wear real…it’s your money at the end of the day.
It’s also on the brand to keep hype in something that’s so old that just gets re done making it “limited” I shouldn’t have to work just to give you full asking price. If I want a product I should be able to buy it.
The moment I saw the *rrcopys* tote, I knew I had to have it. Luxurious materials, vibrant colors and attention to detail make these bags a true fashion statement
I don't mind fakes but it is definitely true that some people buy them just to flex. Some people go out of their way to say they spent hundreds on their "legit shoe from Stockx" when it's clear they are fake af and nobody even asked where they got it from/how much they paid.
The only people who think that buying fakes is trying to be someone you're not, are people who think what they own and wear defines who they are... kind of sad.
Y’all could call me broke or whatever. But Ima just it, there is nooo way I’m paying more than 400$ for shoes or drip. That’s literally just a bad financial decision💵💵💵🤷♂️🥱
Facts, I’m fine with my $40 Converse’s
Jawnz > Financial Freedom
Yeah, I generally just thrift everything
You don't have to tho there's tons for shoes for 200 or under you can get that look nice.
Just buy them used
Before you know it, reps are gonna take over, which it kind’ve feels like it already is, but reps are probably gonna get more expensive
If you’re paying up to 2 or 3 times the retail price of an item YOURE only fooling yourself😂
Resell culture has made the rep culture stronger. Especially since people dont want to have those shoes not to wear. If you got fakes you can wear them without a care.
there are only 2 types of rep buyers: people who don’t like spending too much, and people who can’t afford the real thing, i’m the first one but i used to be the second one, there’s no shame in buying reps nobody rlly cares like that
Facts. People are paying five times retail for colorways of shoes that have the exact same material as shoes that sell below the cost of retail.
The manufactured scarcity utilized by these fashion companies is directly to blame for the rise of fakes.
The only reason I’ve never bought replicas is because when I buy the real thing, it gives me a sense of achievement, and I don’t have to worry about the insecurities of having a replica and worrying about if something’s off. But I do hate the fact that resellers are holding shoes hostages by jacking up the price.
I would prefer getting legit over fake simply because if it wasn't for the original design then the fakes wouldn't even be a thing. That's a way to support the original designers imo but if shit's costing wayyy too much I would rather not buy it and look for something cheaper yet original. I don't really care about the material cost and stuff like that, design is what matters me the most. Curious how you guys feel bout that
Simple answer is “you can’t afford to buy the real thing so you buy fakes to fit in”
not quite right.. nice try though
