Markets for fakes only exist when there’s a shortage of real shoes produced. If the real shoes were attainable at retail price then fakes couldn’t exist.
@@abolisher there’s no such thing as decent $15 fakes. The high end reps are like $60 it’s ridiculous. Then if customs catches you they charge 20% of full retail as a tariff it’s totally not worth it. You can get real shoes for dirt cheap at the outlet.
@@cityslickeroutdoors8306 Trust me, when you go to asia, (I moved to the Philippines for college), the $60+ fakes that they sell in the US are $40-50 at most when you’re in Asia. Its scary how close they are to the real thing for the price lmao.
Be honest, guys: would you rather spend $35 on a fake pair that’s almost identical to the real pair or just cop the real pair for $350 resell? Call me fu, but I’m copping them $35 joints right now😂😂😂
@Booker T I am in the same boat. I wouldn't buy these... But you can't lose compared to the real ones. I would grab a few fakes that I missed out on. No one im my town would know. When you have 100's of shoes and rotate without issue no one would assume your off white presto in OG color is a dupe. But if I grabbed the wahlbergers shoe... Or eminem 4... Dead giveaway
@Booker T large size reps are tough to find. Get the largest and remove the insole my guy. Im sure half my collection are or at least 1/4 of my shoes im walking on straight strobel. Lmfao
Booker T Buying fake shit is just like pirating music. Nobody really gives a fuck if you do, but don’t try coming out and acting like you’re smarter than everybody for not having enough money to get the legit version.
'watch out or you could get scammed" then proceeds to mention he sold his pair for $300.. don't they originally cost $75? resellers make me laugh LOL!!! if I bought some kicks for $300 which originally cost $75 I would feel just as scammed as buying fakes, the pure sneaker culture is officially dead smh..
you wanna hear another dumb mentaility sneaker heads have? They complain when a shoe is too available like Yeezys because they lose their exlusivity but when a shoe releases and it's limited stock and re-sellers but them in bulk everyone complains. The sneaker game is a scam that nobody wants to admit
@@sephron17 my main problem is the bots bro. I don’t mind people quickly buying them but when there’s teen nerds with hundreds of bots purposely trying to buy them out to make a 4x profit that’s bs

@@ragstoriches3337 that's what life is about honestly, it's what makes you the most comfortable and most confident, so just go out and be yourself my dude
I bought some reps on amazon. And they’re almost identical to the real foam runners. No logo on the back either and very comfortable. Also about $30 w/ prime!
Honestly, it’s smart to rock reps and selling real ones on huge markup. You’re making money and you’re still get to rock nice looking pairs of shoes. Reps have gotten so good, depending on the shoe you really can’t tell the difference. An NOBODY is going to get close enough to you in public to QC your shoe nor would they have the balls to just call you out even if they did. But it makes no sense to pay $500 for a chow that you can get for $80-$100
If I’m being honest I just received a fake pair in the mail (willingly purchased) and tbh I don’t mind, i feel the foam runner is going to be like a croc or Birkenstock where companies are going to start producing “fake” or their versions of it just like how Walmart has their versions of crocs & birks overall I’m happy with my fake pair lol
Andrew Towell wore them one time inside to see how they were. I wanted to keep em but decided to sell them and still cleaned them up before even tho the soles were new
Loved the vid and loved the tie dye sweater at the beginning of the vid! Literally thought of the Jordan 4 se neon right when I saw it and thought it’d be a really good combo!
Another dead giveaway for me that these are fake is the shaping around the toe box, the authentic pairs are way more bulbous on the top which honestly makes the fakes slightly better looking imo. Both of them still aren’t for me.
The thing is that I’m a size 12 and these Chinese knockoffs usually don’t have big sizes 😂 never bought a fake shoe but the way things have been the last two years, taking so many Ls, might have to try sometime
SHEIN has them $20.00 they come in a nice wrapped bag half plastic half nylonishh plan brown sneaker box like the Foam Runners. You can tell they are different in the profile height real are higher FAKE lower streamlined if You will. Also, some spots in the holes You can see the extra material left over was not cut as clean as the real kind BUT $20.00 not bad they don't have the Adidas logo on the back. The pair I have very close to the Foam Runner but on feet should be able to pull them off! Plus 6ft apart nowadays mask on should be no problem now! Only got them cause well $25 all together shipping and handling BOOM! 👍 Video, Your opinion is respected btw ✌
Got the sand colour way in hand today made in USA inside with size, I’m uk and they come with US sizing, straight from adidas. Gotta say if didn’t hit a W and retail , resell price crazy would have to go U/A.
I depends since Converse is with Nike now the midsole cushion quality got better on some models, Van's got new foam tech on theirs too, but as far as OGs to me ima say Converse cuz the Van's is wide on my foot, looks good on the wall tho.
I bought a fake pair for $ 3.1 (Php 155). Just to see how it compares to the real thing. The branding at the back was "GTX" lol. It's snugg AF and needed to go like 1 to 2 size up. I use it for rainy days. Easy to clean too. Buyer beware.
I got some of eBay for £12 Which is around $15/16 and they came with the box and labels and the qr code worked 😂 really odd to be honest I wasn’t expecting it
@@bisho0059 he got taken down I just tried to find him and it said no user found what I did was I went on redding and asked people I want foam runner and people dropped sellers go there g
Yeezy Foam Runners have a tremendous, original design. But materials-wise, no where near retail and a resounding "fuck no" for resale pricing. Yesterday I squished all the foam/EVA shoes I could find and they're all basically the same. Gen/Reps/copies/alts, etc. they're all felt basically the same.
Resellers and Bots ruined the sneaker game so I'm not mad at anyone buying replicas. Half the resellers buy bulk then want you to pay their rent money for them
My look on it is if you don’t have enough money to buy real shoes and you buy replicas because you like the shoes and like the history of the shoes, go ahead and wear it. If you buy replicas to flip then that’s a no no. Y’all agree??
No because you can tell people shoes are replicas and still make profit (yes I know it’s illegal , no I don’t resell replicas) but I know people who sell retail pairs for full resell and buy ua shoes to wear cause they won’t pay resell
It’s funny that you paid $35 for these because when Kanye was interviewed about these by Joe Rogan, he said he was going to price point these at $20 and said his factories produce these within 25 min a pair. I would say that at this rate, how much more quality are you really getting for the resale value? Are we driven more by hype than anything? I would say yes lol and it is quite toxic at its base.
Yooo not to be THAT guy.. but I'm not dropping 300 on these alien shoes, does ANYONE know where to get real ones for under 150 or GREAT as close to 1 to 1 as possible replicas for 120 or under? PLEASE HELP me, I haven't gotten new shoes in a long long time 🖤🙃
It’s so easy to tell the real pair from the fake pair the real pair is completely perfect you will not find one imperfection... the fake on the other hand is always off the cutting the shape is off and they hurt your feet after wearing them. I would only buy a fake pair to show the difference between real and fake.
Says people trying to scam you for 35 buck shoes yet buy's same shoes made in China for 300 LOL. Guess some people do not realize when they are getting scammed
MerchPlanet on eBay. They got a few listed for $45, but you can send an offer of $35 and I'm almost sure they'll accept it. I got my pair for $25 when they were first listing them.
I don’t believe in all that shoe cleaner bundle stuff. Just buy some Jason markk, crep, or reshoevn8r cleaner and a dollar store dish brush and take em in the shower

Honestly, the thing that kills me the most is the hump on the forefoot, and that’s non existent on the fakes 🤷♂️
