  • I am an actual fan of sneakers, I find sneakers to be very beautiful, all the layers of production, the material application of the design process, and the stories that transcend them beyond function and utility. Where does that leave fake sneakers?
    Real skateboard dunk or fake skateboard dunk, I'm not a skateboard dunk hype denier, I'm a skateboard dunk hype supplier. And if you like other sneakers too, it's the same same, this video applies.

    I love your videos. I can only imagine if you did this full time - but then again, that would cut into your time collecting footage of life moments. I love how it’s genuine shots that you’ve collected - feels like you shot them for yourself, not for the audience. The editing and pacing; superb mate.

      ayo thanks snide dude, i hella appreciate it for real. i def hope to pop out with more edits more often, it just takes time. im glad you enjoy the little personal vlog moments, i agree the style and effect would be lost if i just staged everything. i try to keep it very moment focused, because it is like a memory for me. im glad you enjoyed the edit for real.

    Insane amount of time must have been put into these edits though. The pace of changing shots with your explanations is beautiful. At first I couldn’t explain what makes this such an enjoyable watch, but I think it’s that and the story telling 👌🏼

    Just bought a pair of UA Desert Moss J4s. I don’t mind reps. Even with two Jobs I can’t afford the real thing. I’m always late for a drop and will never spend more than 250 on a pair of shoes. Resellers are killing it for me to even want to go for real thing. Also just Subscribed.

    • @embarklife
      @embarklife  5 месяцев назад +3

      totally agree, theres enough fake replica shoes to go around, theres no need to overspend on a shoe. we don't have to match the hype with the price of a "real" sneaker. the hype was always free, its priceless, you cant buy the hype, you just have to observe it. my dunks are fake, but the stories are real. let the contract collectors collect the contracts.

    What’s the difference between real and fake shoes?

    • @embarklife
      @embarklife  5 месяцев назад +1

      At this point, the contract (contract = real), the manufacture tag (the literal material and printing), the quality (some fakes are better, some real ones are better, the price (real dunk can go to the moon, fake dunk closer to retail), and availability (not all dunks get replicated, everything is temporary). Hope that helps.
