I wish Nike would just mass produce a sick colorway so that they don't just become another re-selling object for sneakerheads, and skaters could actually afford and use them 😕
the new business model revolves around hype if nike only makes 1000 pairs of xxx dunk they can guarantee they will all sell out pretty much making sure they spend the least amount of money and maximize profits. its all about hype cuz hype sells than it resells than it resells again. i would absolutely love nike to release like a regular all black suede dunk low, or something along the lines of that but those days are probably gone for good.
Christian, you make the absolute best skate show review videos on the internet, hands down! I always love watching them even if I have no intention of getting new shoes any time soon. Thanks for all you do!
Great video! There are some rep dunks that are made waaayyy better than others. It would be worth doing a little research and comparing a really good rep batch compared to the OGs. I have wondered this same thing too! Great channel!
It would be interesting to share some thoughts on the best skate shoes at different price points. Thanks for reviewing the Tyshawns, because of you I picked up a pair.
Maybe do replica dunks but from a better replica place and a simple one not the p rods and get the right sizing throw some insoles in there and see how it is
I am currently skating rep dunks and have owned regular dunks in the past and I’d have to agree with this video but at the same time if you can get them for cheap I’d go for it
I Skate fake Dunks all the Time , they’re Great. There’s also different levels of Replica Quality,, from cheaper to higher end makes and materials and rather Exact Copys , sometimes they seem to be even better than the Nike distributed ones
When i was in china, I have skated many fake dunks, around 35 usd each. I would just slap on a good insole and it was good to go. it was almost impossible to tell but the material was cheap. The out sole would wear out in 2 weeks only.
Great video!🔥🤟🙌🤘👌👍✌😎🛹 The white weave pattern material on the left shoe lateral side is the quickest to check the difference. The FAKE one have a more long thin rectangle or in some are squarish pattern and the REAL one have a more rectangular brick laying tile pattern. There was a fake 2019 Rayguns my brother tried skating , it feels almost the same. Fits just right and much better when he change the insoles into FP insoles. A friend told me the FAKE ones are made in different factories so that some may be good to skate and some are real that bad. For skate shoes I'll just buy the REAL ones and it doesn't have to be a hype one as long as it skates well and protect my feet.
As others have mentioned, if you do your research, there are definitely some high quality “fakes” if you know who to buy from. Sounds like you got a low grade tier. I have some reps that are legit 1:1. Not defending them or saying they’re all perfect, just pointing that out. But of course- the real McCoy should always be better. But with the resell market for dunks what it is and being a skater… at the moment how can anyone justify skating real dunks at the price they are going for only to tear em up in a month. If you’re dead set on skating dunks, buy reps.
These are budget reps. The flimsy sole is a dead give away. You can get a good quality reps that looks and feel the same as retail, but they cost more.
Were these high quality fakes (over 150 dollars) or a below 100 dollar fake? Im thinking of my next pair of shoes to be DHGate Nike SB dunks because dunks are cupsole and I hate the way vulcanised hurts my feet (skating Nike SB Shane's rn), would you say the cupsole is still better protection than a normal vulc build?
Ow my feet hurt because these dunks that are fake suck, don't get them. But links down there but whatever anyway Hey could you do a review on the Nike SB chron solarsoft if you haven't already. Love the videos!!
I love Nike SB Dunks and skate good but I had to retire all mine cuz I caught a switch heel primo nasty and bruised my foot the middle part where you land primo so now I only skate Tyshawn’s adidas
@@christianflores it always depends on the seller you buy from and what batch, I'm not trying to guide you to the path of evil that is reps, but ad a person who buys them and tells people no matter who they are that my shoes are fake, you can find perfect quality shoes to skate.
I’ve never bought from this seller, but they use retail material and they look spot on Pk Kim sneakers They sell for like 150$ for Sb dunks I think but I’d say it’s worth it especially for over the top colorways
i know you said the fakes made your feet hurt and all, but they were not your size so of course they hurt, also they're brand new shoes; you can't expect them to be immediately comfortable can you? especially with chunky shoes like dunks.
They’re pretty good, the toe feels wide while the rest feels narrow it’s weird. I was skating those and emerica low vulc at the same time and it feels so bulky in comparison. The mids would be nice to try. The impact protection is that pop cush which isn’t bad.
You should have said a little bit more that these will cause heel, knee and back pain due to the bad quality of the shoe. I skated a pair of fakes, and Once landed primo while doing a 4 stairs handrail, and since then I got heel pain as soon as I do a little gap. Just buy them if you want to look fresh, don't if you wanna skate them
See how easy you were able to fold over the shoe, that's a cheaper rep. If you can find a good one with a more solid sole like the retail it would probably have you think things over, maybe... 🤔🤷♂️
you should see the "Fake" ones coming to Argentina; they don't even are fake, they just shit... in just a couple of days they got unglued, and then you go buying shoe glues to constantly keep glueing the sole.... reaaaaally shitty XD
...and i'm talking of waering them just for walking... you cannot even think of using them for skating or BMXing jajajajajajajajja for skate they rip, and for bike the sole got burnt/holed in just some hours
I wish Nike would just mass produce a sick colorway so that they don't just become another re-selling object for sneakerheads, and skaters could actually afford and use them 😕
They’d probably make more money from it

@@lordgutterrat9634 no kidding dude
Or even any color way really. Even straight up the most basic dunks are not the easiest/cheapest to get your hands on in a common size
homie said he is good after having a dent in his leg
Honestly I felt very proud of him in that moment.
Thomas built different
that happens with wearing compression/ tight long socks while skating
its some real skater shit

You gotta get the 1:1 replicas with retail material. It would probably feel the same then I think
Where do you get them?

@@ihtruong0822 I’ve heard pk Kim sneakers are spot on.

Where do you get rep dunks?
Where did you get them?
Where did you get em
Your shoelaces should be global man. Would love to support & let my friends know bout it. Keep up the good work dude! From Malaysia.
dang bro sick vid! just wanted to say i love the honesty in your videos man andd ofc i love you too for making content worth watching
Your shoe drops are amazing and work so well. Thanks for the help Chris. You're a life saver!
The session was so fun to watch more of these please.

true I use wtg sb dunks and they work very good
Last time I checked russian and chinese mobsters sold these fakes.
Can recommend some rep dunk company or store that got some good shoes? Really wanna skate dunks but not for that price
Where do u get ur reps from?
@@Ok-qg7pj go to Reddit and search fashionreps it is a big rep community with a lot of guides
this video gave me the same vibes from the "weekend sessions", such a dope video
0:06 DAMN THATS A CLEAN CELICA GT-FOUR
Yo Christian, Could you try a pair of FP insoles in those fake dunks to see if they improve the wearablity of them????
Where did you get them reps from they look good!
Been waiting for this!!
👊👊🚀
nike be like hmmm lets produce a small line of skating shoes and sell them at a ridiculous price so that skaters can’t even buy them
Shame on them. These reps suck too lol
Capitalism
This is where we are, from getting sponsored by Nike SB, to getting sponsored by the very factory that makes them.
When i was in china, I have skated many fake dunks, around 35 usd each. I would just slap on a good insole and it was good to go. it was almost impossible to tell but the material was cheap. The out sole would wear out in 2 weeks only.
Nice. Yeah that’s what I’m thinking I might want to do too. . .
Thank god this video was made Ive always wanted to know how they sk8
Great video!🔥🤟🙌🤘👌👍✌😎🛹

Love you man keep up the good work❤️🤘🤘
Aye here we are again with another fire video 🔥🔥
Ayyyy 👊
I’m gonna try some wish Travis SB’s bc I lokie like the way it looks
Sick video happy holidays
Ledge down the hill spot was crazy.
Love the skating in this one. Good energy.
No interest in skating Nike. They are just not for me.
Bro you really need to get your laces to ship to UK. We need them so bad!

OMG IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT GETTING REPS TO SKATE BUT WASNT SURE ABOUT IT THANK YOU
Also, ive heard Eleven kicks makes the best replica shoes, the prices would indicate so, too.
you should make more of these types of videos when you get tha opportunity bra
Hey Christian u should check out the sub forces they seem like a more affordable dunk kinda
I skated fake dunks before and if you change the insoles with some real ones and it was all good
Rep dunks are the best shoes that i have ever skated in, i just perform really good with them, insoles are comfy and soft.
where u get em
What's you background song?
Is that an s-chassis at 4:43?
If you buy a UA pair its just the extra shoes that didnt get sent to Nike. They're "real pairs" just not sold by Nike.
wouldnt that only be the case for specific ua sellers
@@user-bu8ty1xt7c Theres a difference between UA and Reps. Reps are fake. UAs are real, but just not sold by Nike.
Hm. Iv never heard of them. How do I get some ?
@@christianflores Not sure if youtube is deleting my comments or what but "kickwho" is good.
Bro this is a great experiment, also make a vid reviewing walmart shoes or something!
More of these vids with your friends please
Been thinking of just buying reps to skate
I would imagine the closest feeling shoe and flick is a Jordan one low, not extremely expensive either, about as much a caruimas
That switch bigflip was crazy
Were these high quality fakes (over 150 dollars) or a below 100 dollar fake?
Im thinking of my next pair of shoes to be DHGate Nike SB dunks because dunks are cupsole and I hate the way vulcanised hurts my feet (skating Nike SB Shane's rn), would you say the cupsole is still better protection than a normal vulc build?
Prob low quality. They looked good. But yeah not good when I skated them.
Gotta be cheaper ones, those soles folded over like breakfast tacos...
Great video dude
4th time asking for a review on the Chuck 70s
Ow my feet hurt because these dunks that are fake suck, don't get them. But links down there but whatever anyway
Hey could you do a review on the Nike SB chron solarsoft if you haven't already. Love the videos!!
Yea I like this guy but this video was dog shit smells like paid advertising.
Interesting video idea, nice one bro
Ow my feet hurt because these dunks that are fake suck. Don’t get them, but links down there, but anyways whatever. Ok bye
Lol. Yeah pretty much.
Ow my feet hurt because these dunks that are fake suck.
Just paused the video, I believe it's number 2. Now back to the show!
Hahaha. Yeah you were right 👊
CHRISTIAN !!! ❤️❤️🎥🎥🛹🛹
where can I get a fake pair of dunks that are similar to real ones? I wanna skate them, but for real cheap
What’s the website?
Another good video bro
def the second one no question
I love Nike SB Dunks and skate good but I had to retire all mine cuz I caught a switch heel primo nasty and bruised my foot the middle part where you land primo so now I only skate Tyshawn’s adidas
I’m sorry to let you know but. It’s not the shoes fault. Everyone dose that at some point.
Can you please skate the Adidas forums?
I wish you and Luis Mora could do a collab, it would be epic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What's the website to buy the fake ones shit I cant afford the real ones
Can you review the Nike sb zoom blazer low pro gt? I know its a really big name 😂
diff rep batches have varying quality. can't generalise cause some are of better quality than the og and some are barely related back to the og shoe.
try the blondey superstars
Skate the Romero emerica shoes next. They are one of the cheaper skate shoes.
Why just not skate es accel slim?
*mid video* "well my friends are doing something fun so we're gonna go watch that instead" thats some good content
Hahaha. Yes.
🔥🔥content
Funny how Nike went from being an affordable ATHLETIC company to a clout chasing "Fashion" brand.
I would like to request a KEEN jump ramp review….if the answer is no, I would settle for Transformer Rail review 😅
Let's go Panda Chen plug
Lol. I wouldnt skate them for real.
@@christianflores it always depends on the seller you buy from and what batch, I'm not trying to guide you to the path of evil that is reps, but ad a person who buys them and tells people no matter who they are that my shoes are fake, you can find perfect quality shoes to skate.
Maybe you could slap a pop Cush insoles in em then maybe they’d be sick?
Anyone know where I can get good quality replica dunks?
I’ve never bought from this seller, but they use retail material and they look spot on
Pk Kim sneakers
They sell for like 150$ for Sb dunks I think but I’d say it’s worth it especially for over the top colorways
i know you said the fakes made your feet hurt and all, but they were not your size so of course they hurt, also they're brand new shoes; you can't expect them to be immediately comfortable can you? especially with chunky shoes like dunks.
I love San Diego!
video 58 asking for a review of the gilbert crockett vans
They’re pretty good, the toe feels wide while the rest feels narrow it’s weird. I was skating those and emerica low vulc at the same time and it feels so bulky in comparison. The mids would be nice to try. The impact protection is that pop cush which isn’t bad.
Do lakai telfords
Imma about to buy fakes
U won’t regret it reps are the move
I have a fake pair. It’s impossible for me to get a hold of a real dunk
niceeee, you got actual replicas instead of dhgate ones

It'd be funny if eS or DC ripped off the dunks (enough not to get sued) so skaters could afford get them.
A good video would be to wear one of each for 6 months then report which lasts or looks the best.
I think shoe one is the fake at 1:15 seconds in.
ow my feet hurt because these dunks that are fake hurt. dont get them but links down there
It all depends where you get them. There are some fakes that are straight up dogshit but you can find some that look and feel just like retails
Where do you get good ones?
Dunks give me heel blisters
I’m in that:D
