Used to be against fakes but with the resell market being so crazy plus the quality of fakes have drastically improved, there’s really no point paying x5 for a shoe.
I’m against fakes , but I’m also against resell as well. My thoughts personally at the end of the day a shoe is a shoe. If I can’t get for retail or lower, then it isn’t meant to be . There are plenty of other great shoes out there!
100 percent. These resellers have ruined it for anyone wanting to actually buy a pair and actually wear them. And we have to put some blame on the buyers who keep these resellers in the game.
It’s ok to rock fakes. Everybody is fake nowadays, fake smiles, fake friends, fake body parts (plastic surgery), fake relationships, the list goes on and on, etc.
The fact that on any of these fake vs real episodes that it takes that close of scrutiny to determine if it's fake or not and the average person who will wear them and no one will know at a casual glance or even a close glance that you are wearing a rep tells you how good these reps are. I'll buy a pair in a heartbeat.
I gotta say, for lifestyle shoes I have found an amazing rep seller. They are not cheap but far less expensive than the real ones and the materials they use are so good. As a hooper though I have not yet found a decent rep pair I can actually play in. Every pair I have tried was far worse than the og ones.
@2:12 in the video, I knew L was the retail. The midsole line part on the R was done a tiny bit sloppier. But hey, these are insane replica pairs, I would rock em! good stuff!
Better than the reps I got from Sneaker Fanatics! Paid too much and was more than obvious when I opened the box. Laces and emblem was more of a yellow than green! Lesson learned!
Great comparison video! The differences are so minor and nobody could tell if you have them on feet or hooping in them. I hit on SNKRS yesterday and have a pair coming from across the pond for me to compare too. If they are this close I’m wearing the UA and keeping my retail on 🧊
I'm going to be honest I guessed wrong. This review helped me out alot. I was not able to get them at retail so I will buy a pair of rep. Again, Thanks for your review
Look at the side of it that flap from the heal its more sleek in the real one and over sized in the fake pairs. That's the only indicator for me and the black light you did, try to check it out if im right.
It was easy to tell for me cause the tongue was tucked in more and the style pf the Nike Zoom was drastically different from the R pair. Both very close but luckily I got them for retail on Friday so don’t gotta worry lol
I have the max batch of UA of this reverse grinch and i have the nike release. And base on my comparison, the max batch is the best batch of UA for kb6 reverse grinch. Even for the details of the box it is the same.
The red on the heel cup and rear side panel has more of a strawberry tinted pinkish color on the Rep while Retail appears to be more of a true consistent Crimson Red sheen in the heel cup area also The tongue on the Rep is Fatter and more rounded than Retail pair.
Honestly it you don’t plan on reselling them get the reps they look exactly the same and they fit good especially if you put a better insole in them like the vktry insole for example i only use them to hoop don’t plan on selling them at all
Pin me! at this time I watched this video the quickest way to check are 6 ways. 1 is the scales thickness the reps are still a bit thicker. 2 is the swoosh is a bit smaller. The 3 is the heel is a bit thicker when is come to the heel counter. The last one is bottom of the shoe where the Kobe logo has more honey comb shapes in that area! 5 the laces are more rounded. 6 you will have to look close but the carbon fiber is a tad bit longer on the reps. The retail will stop at the line on the bottom good luck every one
Not much need for me to watch these videos, but I really like your presentation, so I subscribed. I don't even collect shoes, but I might start now. lol
Something you won’t see there is a difference tech wise if you have the really high quality reps; Retail cushioning; nike Cushlon in the heel and zoom turbo forefoot, UA has Zoom air in the heel and zoom turbo in the forefoot - the edge actually goes to the rep/ua to me I prefer zoom air over cushlon personally and want the rep/ua pair for this reason
Our thing is if you play in them will they tear apart? The bottom of the shoe is a mute cuz youll step on them. The residue is like okay whip it off and the grip at the back of the shoe is we guess obvious if you look at another shoe. We like the information. The Box is the give a way.
Nice vid, Where can you get the fakes at? I used to be against fakes but seeing that Nike could have easily released enough kobe's to satisfy everyone's hunger and didn't, makes me say "uck you" to the swoosh brand!
obviously the R is fake. i can determine it thru outsole and the back of the shoe. the fake one has bigger honey comb pattern compared to the retail one
My StockX verified pair has the cm sticker on both of the insoles of my pair. Usually the cm stickers on the insoles showed up on the rep pairs through YT. Is this something to be concerned about?
i just wouldn’t wear fake basketball shoes if you plan on playing in them because you just don’t wanna get injured. other then that if you just plan to wear them around who cares
"Night a black light".... like seriously 🤔🤔🤔🤔???? Who da fck cares if they're fake or not 🤨🤨🤨🤨???? It's just too much for me..... that's why I rather wear shoes that are not popular.
Crazy they were labeled L & R for Left or Right and could have been called Legit/Rep accurately as labeled🤣 Scale lining isn’t always an accurate giveaway of Legit/Rep Legit laces are rounder and more beefy Height of heels can differ also from pairs or Legit/Rep Bottom line is w/o that box deez are barely noticeable at all
Which shoe did you think was the rep?
I thought left was the rep, still haven’t finished the vid but I got a pair of real ones from SNKRS
@beastlygarage where can I get the link to purchase the fakes.?
Want more info on the rep pair?? Watch the review on my 2nd channel youtube.com/@BeastlyReviews?si=iN88vkwi8W_7FtVp
the ones on the right are real
So hard to identify it.
Used to be against fakes but with the resell market being so crazy plus the quality of fakes have drastically improved, there’s really no point paying x5 for a shoe.

Facts
100 percent. These resellers have ruined it for anyone wanting to actually buy a pair and actually wear them. And we have to put some blame on the buyers who keep these resellers in the game.
If you wanna play the shoes just go buy china brands which is better than these. If you wanna collect, then buy original
Just bought some and I suggest buy real ones
It’s ok to rock fakes. Everybody is fake nowadays, fake smiles, fake friends, fake body parts (plastic surgery), fake relationships, the list goes on and on, etc.
😂
Big fake facts
Nikka saved me a headache and $300+ dollars !!!!!!! think& grow rich 📖🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not okay to be fake if you hoopin in them though cause that shit could cause injury
Lol who hurt you my guy. I’m here for you
The fact that on any of these fake vs real episodes that it takes that close of scrutiny to determine if it's fake or not and the average person who will wear them and no one will know at a casual glance or even a close glance that you are wearing a rep tells you how good these reps are.

@@nkanski8854 who is it?
This was a thorough examination man... VERY well done! You can already see you've got the people here makin business decisions! 🤔🤔🤔
@2:12 in the video, I knew L was the retail. The midsole line part on the R was done a tiny bit sloppier. But hey, these are insane replica pairs, I would rock em! good stuff!
Will you ever tell us where you got the reps from? Even subliminally tell us. Not everyone can afford 500$-1600$ shoes.
That swoosh (bleeding) and the back heal on the outsole design reveals the difference every time. Either or is fine to wear 👏🏽
What is bleeding on the swoosh mean? I don't understand what to look for
reps r good for my country as reps looking like reals i wld have to pay 1k plus for reals
The swoosh doesn’t look that much different on both lol
It's no way in hell to tell the authentic from fake on feet 😮
This is pretty much why i only buy direct and Ill take my Ls lol
So in order to see which one was fake u need a black light lol but ppl will pay 2 times more for the same shoe lol
I hope your channel blows up bro much love
🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏾

Where u get the fakes

That’s my plan!
Can they perform?
God killer batches looks identical and performance I rather buy them and hoop with them instead of paying 500-600
The real ones have smaller patterns on the heels. The reps have larger patterns on the heels
I couldn't tell, but I never get lucky on any Kobes. Sad😢
Did you try them on? Feel the same?
I'm going to be honest I guessed wrong. This review helped me out alot. I was not able to get them at retail so I will buy a pair of rep. Again, Thanks for your review
it's even harder to identify if you don't have a legit shoe to compare it to but I notice the side where the heel counter is thicker
Look at the side of it that flap from the heal its more sleek in the real one and over sized in the fake pairs. That's the only indicator for me and the black light you did, try to check it out if im right.
If Ja Morant can drop 47 points wearing Kobe reps, you guys can too at your local 24 hour Fitness 😂💀
It was easy to tell for me cause the tongue was tucked in more and the style pf the Nike Zoom was drastically different from the R pair. Both very close but luckily I got them for retail on Friday so don’t gotta worry lol
Where did u get the rep bro
I noticed a little contour in the heel outside plastic panel where as the rep pair was flat
I have the max batch of UA of this reverse grinch and i have the nike release. And base on my comparison, the max batch is the best batch of UA for kb6 reverse grinch. Even for the details of the box it is the same.
Just subscribed thanks Ron. Your reviews are so good af.
Guessed it right!! But damn very close. Reps getting scary
The red on the heel cup and rear side panel has more of a strawberry tinted pinkish color on the Rep while Retail appears to be more of a true consistent Crimson Red sheen in the heel cup area also The tongue on the Rep is Fatter and more rounded than Retail pair.
Honestly it you don’t plan on reselling them get the reps they look exactly the same and they fit good especially if you put a better insole in them like the vktry insole for example i only use them to hoop don’t plan on selling them at all
I noticed from the laces 🤷🏾♂️
Really? They looked identical to me. Thanks for watching!
@@BeastlyGaragerep laces are thinner compared to legit laces. No wonder its hard to find exact replacement laces for kobe 6. 😂
Can you pass the link for the ua website you bought the koves ?
What’s the fake site ?
If it ain’t direct, on to the next shoe
Where can i get those?
They look pretty good. I wanna know how the fakes compare to the real.
Pin me! at this time I watched this video the quickest way to check are 6 ways. 1 is the scales thickness the reps are still a bit thicker. 2 is the swoosh is a bit smaller.

@@BeastlyGarage no problem glad to help the community
I bought reps fom yesYeezy and they are perfect
Not much need for me to watch these videos, but I really like your presentation, so I subscribed. I don't even collect shoes, but I might start now. lol
Something you won’t see there is a difference tech wise if you have the really high quality reps;
Retail cushioning; nike Cushlon in the heel and zoom turbo forefoot,
UA has Zoom air in the heel and zoom turbo in the forefoot - the edge actually goes to the rep/ua to me
I prefer zoom air over cushlon personally and want the rep/ua pair for this reason
Real one has thicker shoe lace, the heal pattern on the bottom of the shoes webbing has more detail to it. And the detail that you pointed out aswell!
Another great Vid! You know your stuff!
Our thing is if you play in them will they tear apart? The bottom of the shoe is a mute cuz youll step on them. The residue is like okay whip it off and the grip at the back of the shoe is we guess obvious if you look at another shoe. We like the information. The Box is the give a way.
Where do you get the good fake ones from. At least I might be able to actually get a pair
Nice vid, Where can you get the fakes at? I used to be against fakes but seeing that Nike could have easily released enough kobe's to satisfy everyone's hunger and didn't, makes me say "uck you" to the swoosh brand!
@Temporary-Neck2549how do we order. Thanks
Where did you get the reps from? I’d like to grab a pair since I took all Lssss today on 5 accounts smh.
@Temporary-Neck2549 thanks appreciate that bro! I’ll check them out for sure!
@Temporary-Neck2549 also what about Artemis? You think they will have good pairs like these or better?
quickkicksz1
@Temporary-Neck2549 what's the site?
Rep is the right. I can recognize the carbon fiber because I got sold a pair of 8s that were reps 😢. They do both look good though. Dope vid
Where can I find the reps?
what website did you get these from?
Where did you get the reps by any chance because I’m thinking about buying some
@Temporary-Neck2549 what does that mean where do I buy them I’m confused
you are twisting the facts @Temporary-Neck2549
obviously the R is fake. i can determine it thru outsole and the back of the shoe. the fake one has bigger honey comb pattern compared to the retail one
he looks like kobe with the beard
it was the matte carbon fiber on the R that did it for me
Did he ever say where he got the reps from?
Where do I buy reps from? What website
Where did he get the reps from????
Did you notice writing on the front of the shoe?
I have to be honest I couldn’t tell much of difference. But besides the dead giveaway box, the one on the right looked a little better 😩
kobe sign on the reps was diff
but i noticed at the end
Should’ve did the kickwho pair best rep shoes
The scaling line height is a dead giveaway, but there is a better batch that has better scaling line. Overall, great comparison.
Best Performance reps are KWs hands down …
Godkiller batch 🔥
Can tell with the logo on the tounge
I will subscribe if you tell me were you bought the reps from. I struck out and I refuse to pay resale
My StockX verified pair has the cm sticker on both of the insoles of my pair. Usually the cm stickers on the insoles showed up on the rep pairs through YT. Is this something to be concerned about?
I went by the creasing on the reps
Why is my shoe darker red? does the color fade a bit after used?
I think the left shoe is the legit pair
around $70 is going to be bad?
Is the rep pair the GK pair from KickWho?
Not GK it's S2 BATCH bec of the extra red laces.
Not GK it's S2 BATCH because of the red extra laces.
I have a question ,, Where was that shoe made? What country does it say on the sneaker ?
Only difference I could see is the red on the heel.
I dont see valuable differences between real and fakes except for the huge price gap between the shoes! SHOES are all the same Wear and Tear... 😅🤗
Be nice if you wouldn't jerk the shoes around every 0.1 seconds.
Is the side
Different?
The
Back.
Look over
Here on the
Side.
i guessed iit right!
Where did you get these reps
What is the best site for rep’s?
i just wouldn’t wear fake basketball shoes if you plan on playing in them because you just don’t wanna get injured. other then that if you just plan to wear them around who cares
If Ja Morant can hoop in reps, you can too at your local rec league bro 😂
How to cooperate with you?
I can tell because the replicas are more comfortable
where u got em from? the reps)
No such thing as fakes. The real vs fake is just a scheme in itself
"Night a black light".... like seriously 🤔🤔🤔🤔???? Who da fck cares if they're fake or not 🤨🤨🤨🤨???? It's just too much for me..... that's why I rather wear shoes that are not popular.
Where you get the Reps from?
Pandabuy (s2 batch is a good) or lucas kicks (website)
Those even arent the best fakes of the reverse grinch's
L
Why are you gate keeping? Just tell us the link…
Maybe you need to watch the vid again 🙄 and pay attention this time 😉
So where them reps from?
you look like a clown@Temporary-Neck2549
I can tell which one is the fakes
Ain't nobody checking to see if Kobe shoes are real or fake. They look like a basic shoe.
the only thing thats fake here is this guys mustache
Tongue is the dead giveaway. R are the fakes
L is real
Hope that atleast we have what fakes batch are those. Too many out there
They are fakes that made in three same factories that Nike made lol. Same child labors same manufacturer just not sold by nikes😅😅😅
Crazy they were labeled L & R for Left or Right and could have been called Legit/Rep accurately as labeled🤣
Scale lining isn’t always an accurate giveaway of Legit/Rep
Legit laces are rounder and more beefy
Height of heels can differ also from pairs or Legit/Rep
Bottom line is w/o that box deez are barely noticeable at all
Honestly the fake is better looking in my opinion
