Authentic vs. Unauthorized Off-White x Air Jordan 1 Comparison

  • Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
  • With resell prices on sneakers sometimes climbing upwards of $5-6K per pair, many are turning to fake or unauthorized sneakers as a means to rock their favourite pairs without shelving out a good chunk of their bank accounts. This piqued my curiosity, so I decided to pick up a pair to see just how close these pairs are compared to the legitimate retail pairs. My latest video provides you with an in-depth comparison between the two, pointing out the similarities and differences, and for you to come to your own judgement.
    The unauthorized pair in this video was purchased through Yeezyqueen

    The problem is these fakes have gotten so good, the differences are so minor. Also Nike is so bad at QC, there are actually more variation between legit pairs than the fakes. I have no problem with people buying and wearing these, but I do have a big issue with people selling these as real.

    As a former Nike employee in the late 90's early 2000's and paying half price for each release, I got spoiled and found it impossible to pay retail price for any shoe, let alone Jordan's but eventually I caved in and began paying the $135-$150 retail price back in the day. Fast forward to what the shoe game is today, I struggle to give in to the idea of paying $200+ for a tennis shoe. ANY sneaker. The quality of today's replicas mixed with the impossible chance of landing a retail pair in a raffle due to bots makes the replica choice easy as hell. If Nike just mass produced every single shoe that's got a buzz around it before launch, it would kill the resale game (I hate this market even though I'm guilty of selling some of my retails for much more than retail) and there would be no need to buy replicas. I can afford a pair of off white chicago 1s and it's probably my favorite sneaker but that's just stupid. If I had millions in the bank, it's still stupid. Paying more than retail is....just....stupid. I'm no longer a collector but I definitely like to wear my shoes and the fact that no one out there will ever be able to tell a real from a good fake (on foot), I'll continue to support the replica market for shoes I'm unable to buy through retail.....AT RETAIL PRICES!

Once the shoes brands get the amount they want from the factory they don't care much what the factory do with the shoes.So people who works at the factory become third parties and sell the shoes themselves.See the shoes are legit they just never made it to the truck to get drop off at the retail store meaning they're unauthorized.

    • @baselst4440
      @baselst4440 2 года назад +1

      Major shoe companies do not stick to a set of factories to produce their shoes. They assign a certain number (i.e. 50,000) per model for each factory to produce. They will produce 20,000 to 30,000 extra pairs, some even 50,000 pairs. Reason being is that they need this [sic] extra pairs to replace the rejected pairs after they fail to pass quality inspection. But what gets left behind in the old factory is the 20,000-30,000 pairs of shoe [sic] that were rejected, or did not even get to see QC because the shoe company has already reached their quota. So that is how the term “UNAUTHORIZED AUTHENTIC” came about. All this [sic] extra pairs that are left over, are produced at the same factory, by the same workers, with the same material, just that they did not get licensed/authorized/quality checked by the shoe company OR [sic] rejected by the shoe company for not meeting their standards. The factory will then sell this [sic] left over shoes to sneaker resellers, sneaker dealers, and online stores.

    • @baselst4440
      @baselst4440 2 года назад

      shoes are UA shoes.“UA” stands for “Unauthorized Authentic”. UA shoes are very similar to retail Nike/Jordan Brand shoes but are never officially contracted with those companies to be made. UA shoes are usually made in the same factories, with the same materials, and the same workers that make the official retail pairs. They differ from replica sneakers because they are a much higher quality and many people cannot differ UA shoes from official products.

    After paying so much for resale for the sneakers i love or adore, i think we all have to realize it is all for self satisfication. Because from what you can see with such great build qualities, materials, craftmanship including labour & almost 90% identitical why else are we paying such insane amounts ? it is for ourselves.
    This is a curse caused by us. Becaue of its nature of being limited & hyped. If these weren't expensive and limited there would be no point in making these near "perfection". And could a sneakerhead like me and others purchase a perfect fake pair and rock it normally? Probably no because the effort compiled into our collection of "legit" pairs would feel like a waste.
    You won't feel satisfied when you obtain a fake pair and definitely feel weird for wearing them. I personally feel hopeless about this "loop" effect & as i grow up, I definitely can predict my future-self regretting paying so much for resale. That is my personal take on it and I think it is really a bad habit that I have to get over in order to improve myself as a person.
    Regardless the psychology aspect of this problem applies to many parts of our lives, I feel it is a great way to learn something from this.

      kofo great comment, but I have to disagree about the satisfaction part. I’ve purchased both retail and fakes. The fake ones I bought because I don’t see myself spending more than $300 on any shoe, unless said shoes will guarantee I’d be able to dunk the basketball every time I jump, or blast me off the ground like Iron Man. I have an Air Jordan 4 Cactus Jack and AJ1 high Travis Scott, both reps, whose authentic counterparts command insane asking prices from resellers, which I definitely refuse to pay for, and I have no regrets buying them and wearing them to work. I’m satisfied as much as I’m satisfied wearing my other prized authentic kicks. It really is up to each individual to do what he/she feels is best for themselves.

    The real problem with authenticating for Nike products is that the quality control on legit pairs is pretty inconsistent. You can have two authentic pairs that have very clear differences. This is why I'm pretty wary of resell market, even if it's "authenticated". Rep makers are VERY good these days.

    Tbh, on feet, a person can't tell from 4ft away. If you see someone rocking hype grail shoes, you would just woah nice kicks, and not ask them if its real. Reps are becoming so well made that they probably have better quality than the real ones.

    I appreciate these types of videos, however, it’s my belief that these so called “fakes, or UA Jordan’s” are made in the same factories as the retail kicks. Furthermore, I believe the “fakes” are nothing more than Factory 2nd’s which would explain why they never made their way to retail stores, and why they have noticeable flaws...when being directly compared to a retail pair. Just my 2 cents. I really do enjoy your videos though bro, keep it going ✌🏼

    • @peaceandlove7678
      @peaceandlove7678 2 года назад

      Those shoes are made by the same machines so i doubt "Factory 2nds" .I think its because the factory makes more what the Nike company ask for.So the rest of the shoes are left in the factory and people who works there becomes third parties by selling them. If the guy in the video flip the shoes and said the "unauthorized are the authentics, and the aunthenics are the unauthorized u would of believed him and guess what retail stores do the same, from experience im telling u some of the same shoes comes a lil bit different from the retail stores.
