I wanna say most people who buy reps don't buy to sell. Its people who can't justify buying some of these shoes for like 3-4 times the retail price. Resell is brutal. I haven't bought reps yet, but have seriously considered it. Its not a finger to the brands. But to resellers. And I think most people who buy reps will agree. Getting for retail is generally the preferred route. Also the Explosions in the Sky sounding band sounds pretty good 👍
Don't be surprised if fake shoes use real boost. For 2 reasons: - Intellectual property is owned by BASF, not Adidas. If someone were to get their hands on the boost pellets through BASF, they would only need the manufacturing process and the tooling for the the boost cushion. - BASF makes other uses for boost, ie. Bike seat cushions. I personally wouldn't buy yeezys, any yeezys because these fakes are scary close and they just keep getting better. To this day, I haven't seen fake shoe manufacturers use real zoom cushioning. This could suggest this is Nike's intellectual property. Stay woke ✌️.
Crazy idea but imagine if the shoe companies would make them available for everybody instead of making most people have to look for resale... Maybe that would help
Edgar Luna Exactly! Limited release, bot users and the resell market make it unobtainable by most. And people that say “Buy a cheaper shoe you can afford” can suck it. Most of us that want the real stuff are willing to pay retail. But many take an L because of greedy ass muthafakas that use bots and resell.
No, supply and demand. I wouldn't change anything. Look what happened to Jordans releasing too much stock in 2015-2017, their market share fell. It's best that these products stay limited, it satisfies those that obtain then and keeps them "grail" status. To me, it's worth is lessened when so many people can get them. Anyone thats a sneakerhead doesnt wanna rock something that others have on feet.
Unfortunately, many of the so-called "sneakerheads" and "hypebeasts" just obtain them to resell these days. Like, why should I have to pay 2x or more to a reseller? Supply & demand is all fine and dandy. But now there's also the resell market and the fake/UA market. You could wear legit kicks, carry receipts and a picture of you AT the store...and people will still say it's fake. See where I'm getting at? The market is all messed up these days and it's on the shoe companies, resellers and bot users.
it's just part of the game bro, I've been in the shoe game for a long time, from OG Jordans to all the new stuff today. It's always been pay to play for me. I could care less if someone calls my shit fake, as long as I know it's real and can stunt in them, then who cares. More power to the resellers for their hustle, better to be reselling sneakers than dealing drugs or participating in human trafficking or stuff like that. I've used bots and bought at resale too, but still make an honest living while enjoying kicks and the culture.
While I have certainly had some high end replicas because I couldn't get real and the resell is just to absurd, I have always been upfront about it if a conversation is ever started when i've worn them. It's always been really pleasant and interesting convos and eventually it gets into talking about the state of the resell market.
r/repsneakers has everything you need. QC, W2C, fits, reviews, how to order, etc. once you figure out an agent like wegobuy its pretty simple. the rona is messing everything up doe
Been following you since day one and idk why you’re heading down this way as far as making so many videos dealing with replicas .. the first few was cool, now it’s like what’s the point? It’s like you’re promoting them
Nice vid. Could you do some vids on "skake shoes" because I find this style of shoes fits better than sport brands. Having really wide feet I have to avoid a lot of sport shoes and I do miss out on a lot of great sneakers, so I have choose skate shoes for the perfect fit. It would be interesting to see what brands and styles you recommend. Keep up the good work with the channel.
The boost is manufactured slightly differently but the material is nearly identical.. you haven't tried the PK god version.. people who have tried both can't tell the difference.
Depends on the shoe. I never used goat before but for stock x i trust their expertise. Stock X have way too much to lose to let a fugaze slip by. It's not 100% guarantee but that's why stock x will penalize the seller $$$ if they found out the shoes are fake in the authorizing process.
Hes shine a torch/ flash through the bottom of the “boost” on the fake pair, then compare it to when you shine a torch through the boost on a real pair and compare them.
Sad part is that even if the manufacturer of the "real" shoes does something so awesome to set the legit pair apart from the fake pair you guys would show it. Then Chinese replica makers would come out with version two to resell to us. Sux bro.
I was just scammed and received fake “PureBoost - Triple Black” shoes from a eBay seller with 23,000+ reviews. Can I send you pics and you can use them for a video?
Deez Nuts just because they come from China doesn't mean they're from the same place. they're still different factories making these, some using different materials if they can't get real materials.
That's the problem, they're attacking the issue from the wrong side. If you put these shoes on general release you'd stop the reselling, you'd arguably make even more profit, and everyone would be happy.
its a slippery slope tho, accessibility can lead to less desirability especially with sneakers and "hype" which ultimately means products will sit and not sell out.
Maybe I'm old school, but good shoes are good shoes. The hype around these things is often a big part of the problem. I get the need for rarity or scarcity, but I look at how Supreme has evovled over the years. I was wearing that stuff a decade ago, maybe longer, and it wasn't impossible to get. Now, with bots, with all this stuff, it's just asking for a reseller market to intercept the actual fan/consumer and slap a tax on it. I'm not really invested in the whole scene. I look at the shoes, I maybe buy them for retail if they strike me, but when I see a lot of these UA-cam guys they have young kids all huddled around their booths. It's exploiting a young market needlessly. They aren't made from moon dust. Even re-releases would be a good way to do it.
Flash a flashlight on the Boost and if it turns like a piss yellow green color it's most likely real boost and on the fake does the primeknit feel like the real one or no ??
Z EP P EL IN yea i hate resellers they fuck up the shoe game , i hate they limit pairs then resllers buy them and sell them for more Theres no point off it too cause they just sit in theyre closets and sit on offer up waiting to be sold
I worked in a shoe factory most of my life these shoes are VERY easy to make. There really is not much to them compared to boots,dress or work shoes. Kind of sad really.
Why do you hope they combat this for someone like me it's a blessing as no way can I afford shoes that are $300+ when the shoe would literally cost $20 to manufacture so for me the only and best way to go is buying replicas as experience I've had they're just as good at a fraction of the price
Hi Hes,the more videos UA-cam channels make about these fakes the more people think the fakes are actually a good option. In my opinion these videos shouldn't even be made, not even for educational purposes. In my opinion if you don't get them for retail then you should not pay resale that is the only way I could see the end of the fake companies as well as re-sellers. Re-sale just hurt the people that actually like shoes for how they look.
It all comes from China anyway and the real way is definitely the smell . Strong glue smell . I accidentally bought a triple black UltraBoost 4.0 and didn’t know at first it was a replica . They were spot on and could t tell besides the smell . It’s crazy out there .
DontPanicrs what sucks is I'm torn on the subject. I don't mind that there are fakes and some people knowingly rock them, but I'm disgusted by the fact that some people try passing then off as authentic in the aftermarket and charging legit resale prices.
KING DUBI but it's about the fact that people try to pass them off as legit on the resale market, and people are getting scammed out of big money when they think they are buying a legit pair
Considering Kanye lost (partial) rights to "YEEZY" as a brand to a Chinese company that sells "unauthorized" merchandise... it doesn't seem likely that the counterfeiting will let up. Not to mention that most of the well known knockoffs are using materials sourced directly from the Adidas manufacturing warehouses. Pretty soon Kanye's dream of "everyone having Yeezy's" will become a thing of the past. (Not condoning it, just stating facts.)
Z EP P EL IN then don’t. Buy things you can afford. You’re only fooling yourself. The appeal of shoes like boosts and yeezy’s is the design and comfort. If you can’t afford them, get some shoes you like that are in your budget
so you respect people that bought shoes for $1000 that cost $10 to make in production? and most of the people that buy yeezys are rich kids who use their parents money. im get super happy when i see a fag get scammed for buying fake yeezys. they deserve it.

Hey Hes, does it pass the black light test ??
The light test is the easiest part to replicate, it's nothing new.
Whos got the black ligth in the street for test all shoes of the people?
Maybe he's playing mind tricks and the replica pair are the ones with the leather laces and real pair with rope laces????? Conspiracy

Hey Hes kicks, enjoy the videos. Was wondering if you could test Jessy Yeezy’s “real boost” yeezy to see if the material is anything like boost
The fakes look better!! hahaha
The boost is manufactured slightly differently but the material is nearly identical.. you haven't tried the PK god version.. people who have tried both can't tell the difference.

Do u trust stockx and goat?
sebaba StockX is better but they both are cool
Depends on the shoe. I never used goat before but for stock x i trust their expertise. Stock X have way too much to lose to let a fugaze slip by. It's not 100% guarantee but that's why stock x will penalize the seller $$$ if they found out the shoes are fake in the authorizing process.
They both work and always sell authentics in my experience.
sebaba I absolutely 100% trust StockX!
StockX generally is good but their customer support is awful. I knew someone who got fakes from StockX and contacted StockX and got blocked.
how does the primeknit compare to 1 another?? i couldn't tell the difference with the on feet side to side
“Get shoes you can afford, don’t buy reps” the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard
Hes shine a torch/ flash through the bottom of the “boost” on the fake pair, then compare it to when you shine a torch through the boost on a real pair and compare them.
Wow, when you said you put leather laces in the real pair I thought I would hate how it looks.. I kinda like it!
what's the comfort like on the 500's if anyone has a pair? the fake pairs might be harder to feel out(pause) if they dont have any boost
Matt The Knicks Fan they are comfy but not boost comfy
People buying replicas weren't gonna buy the authentic ones anyway so nobody loses.
stop buying fakes
Which batch are these? Are they PK, H12, G5, any others?
Sad part is that even if the manufacturer of the "real" shoes does something so awesome to set the legit pair apart from the fake pair you guys would show it. Then Chinese replica makers would come out with version two to resell to us. Sux bro.
@Saitama You right because I ain't spending $350-$400 on some shoes. I rather try the $140-$180 replicas.
I was just scammed and received fake “PureBoost - Triple Black” shoes from a eBay seller with 23,000+ reviews. Can I send you pics and you can use them for a video?
Damn. That replica is scary good.
Could someone compare PK God, Tony, Kickwho?
Is the White Stripe SPLY350 and Cream Stripe in between supposed to be no white line or have it?
You literally cannot tell the difference... I have 8 pair of Authentic yeezys and I cant believe these fakes look tht authentic
The thing about replicas is that the same workers are hired to make them with the same materials
Is it really a replica when they both come from the same place??
Deez Nuts just because they come from China doesn't mean they're from the same place. they're still different factories making these, some using different materials if they can't get real materials.
Hazza Crafta yeah but it still just probably cost no more than ten dollars to make
Last year when i went to Hong Kong. I Saw a lot of fake Yeezys sold for HK$ 200-300.
That's Hong kong dollars. Don't know the conversion rate.

Thx hes for making another vid on fakes 👏
The boost is "real" on the fake pair. The pair doesn't use actual boost which is ironic
Is it just me or are your vids quite underexposed? Should up the brightness a bit so it’s nicer to look at
i recently adjusted the brightness in of of my last vids if you check hopefully its better
The problem isn’t the reps it’s people trying to buy and resell. Imagine if someone did that with food.
should point out the ways a buyer can tell they are fake besides the fake the boosts is not the same
In Niagara Falls all I see is Asian Hypebeasts with yeezys and bape

You would need to see pretty closely to notice the differences.
There is nothing they can do. The same people making Yeezy in China sell the so called replicas so 🤷🏾♂️
can you review the Nike air max flair ,I saw some at some outlets but I'm skeptical and want to know more
Honestly even if a yeezy would sell 50$, i wouldn't buy them. I found them so fucking ugly
The letters "s" and "p" are so messed up on the fakes
What about the fake vaporfly?
Replicas get better because they have the patents to the designs now. It’s the company’s fault because they wanna save money for manufacturing.
Before they didn’t have the patent that’s why the materials were so off now they are identical.
I worked in a shoe factory most of my life these shoes are VERY easy to make. There really is not much to them compared to boots,dress or work shoes. Kind of sad really.
You can tell this guy cant believe that he’s actually doing videos about the replicas
where can i buy this?
