How do you really know he knows his stuff? How do you know he’s not making it all up? The shoe paper being “too thick” seems very strange for someone to remember exactly for a particular shoe.

I'm 38 and I feel like anybody who spends over 250 for a shoe is just braindead(no offense to anybody that does, that's just my opinion), but the way Rami spots the fakes so easily is nuts. Even if I was sitting on millions I don't think i could bring myself to spend that much on shoes that im scared to wear because they'd do value and they'd just sit on a shelf. >
@@LeeQuesada-CoTGaming So if "no offense" why say "braindead"? just say its not for you. Also bear in mind, most people are buying these on the chance they'll increase in value....ergo....an investment. Other people will wear them because they can. I'm 47 and own a lot of retro 90's Reeboks, etc because its my youth and I like them. Some people fish, some people drink, some race cars...some buy shoes.
I feel ya there but there is just no choice sometimes. As someone with a wide foot its so hard to find a shoe that fits, I am willing to pay 250 for a good one that lasts.@@LeeQuesada-CoTGaming
@@LeeQuesada-CoTGamingHoping to bring light to the sneakerhead mentality. I think everybody has their domain of choice that they are happy to splurge on.

It might not seem like it, but typically for a lot of the $150-600 range shoes there’s a lot of craftsmanship that goes into it. For example, the material of the different parts of the shoe, whether or not they want to change up the shape, features, or accessories of the shoe, picking the t pallet for the shoe then deciding where each color is gonna be placed. Even the placement and orientation of the logo of a shoe can make a huge difference (i.e. Travis Scott’s iconic reverse Nike swoosh). The result of that labor is a shoe you are excited to wear, and rhe fulfilling part for sneaker heads is curating a collection of sneakers you are proud to own. For example one of the shoes I own (Space Hippie 03) is a concept shoe that’s 80-90% recycled material, a shoe meant to show that shoes made from renewable materials can look cool too. Some other shoes I own just look nice and that’s okay too 😁
'Some people just have too much pride to wear fakes', loved that one. Honestly, when people are selling shoes for 800$, 1k$... I respect those who buy reps to have a similar experience. The problem comes when these people want to sell their fakes and make money out of them.
I would wear fakes if they are comfortable and cost 50bucks. I used to wear fakes bcos they cheap but they hurt like fk. Until i discovered Skechers. I could get a pair for 50bucks during sale and it's authentic and supports my weight. The only down side is they dont come in traditional sneakers of the 2k gen(aka leather top). I hate these mesh uppers.
How is that something you respect, with people knowing they are wearing fakes? Just wear regular shoes and save up to get real shoes if your heart desires.
I was impressed by the street wisdom to know not to walk around west la flashing expensive things. She probably been robbed a couple times before tbr lol

I'm almost 57, and haven't spent more than $70 on a pair of shoes in my life. 2 months ago i got the sneakerhead bug (looking for a safe and easy place to invest some $) and have spent over $7,500 on sneakers. Got a SHITLOAD to learn yet, but i'm getting there thanks to videos like this.
The mom was awesome. Wanting to make sure the shoes would be safe to wear, as well as watching out for her son wearing flashy shoes and not getting jumped. She rocks fr.

@@samhowell6729 nobody gets robbed where I'm at. They only get robbed in the city and liberal towns. Here it's safe as Mayberry. And yes kids get killed for shoes. Save that cash and move out those places. Especially now that they legalized theft and robbery. They even removed bail so they get let go and charges dropped.
Mad respect for how professional and respectful you are man. What a sad world we live in ppl making a comfortable ass living off of scamming innocent ppl who spend their hard earned money just hoping to get a pair of legit kicks.. ah
Yeah, I mean if you're gonna sell fake shoes or replica shoes just tell the buyer that and sell for a fair price. I don't have a problem with fakes. Just people who try to sell them off as real for full price.
@@W1ggumm you literally need it to survive. so not exactly. we dont love money, we love the things we want and need in life. money divides us, money causes greed, money causes egos, money causes death, money can let you live. So, money is, the root of all evil.
I know about this stuff because I heard about it when the craze started way back when people were trying to get a certain pair of Jordan's that came out & how expensive they were. This was back when Jordan was still playing basketball. I also know that people collect the shoes, put them up, & sometimes try to resale them years later down the road. Then there are stores where the owner has bought used ones, professionally reconditioned them & then sets up a used resale shoe store for these popular shoes. So are these people buying the used shoes that have been reconditioned only to find they're fake? Or, are they trying to buy current popular Jordan's that are brand new & the current craze only to discover that they're fake? If it's the later, what reputable store would sake a fake used shoe...ie..purchasing brand new ones at a Nike store or other kind of sports store, or Neiman Marcus, etc.?
They way you make everyone feel valued even if they might know they’re a fake pair is a tool most business owners do not possess. Amazing skills there.
I'm a grown working man and I only watched out of curiosity. Such things as designer sneakers are so unfathomable to me, I can't even tell you. So I expected to laugh and scoff. And I did. But I have to say the kid impressed me with his knowledge and professionalism. You won this old man over. I hope you keep doing what you're doing. You're going to succeed in life.
@@JanessaRios-w6dthis is either a bot programmed to comment stupid comments it could think of or an actual human being with reading comprehension of an average starving african .
It's fantastic that you genuinely assist individuals in identifying fakes and authenticating their shoes. I had assumed that this would be a video of someone making fun of con artists, yet you treat everyone with great respect. Fantastic work, man!
@@starblenderwym? There are so many factories out there that make fakes. Anybody now can buy shit from Pandabuy etc and get fakes. No matter what shoe it is.
I am not sure if you will see this. I am older and no nothing of your industry, but coming from 25 years in the diamond business it's amazing to see the similarities. Well done handling your customer base, and it was a pleasure watching your process with each item. I randomly found this channel and enjoyed it very much. Good luck to you in the future and keep it up.
They are not fake sorry. Nike has sub-contracts with thousands of manufacturers all over the world like China, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Cambodia, Mexico, Brazil, Honduras, Belize, etc to cut labour costs and the cost of material. Don't blame these people but blame those businessmen who make those contracts overseas. It's not the fault of the shopper or buyer but they want to make good deals too since most everything is overpriced in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe, etc. Even the packaging will differ depending on which manufacturer and country it came from. That guy thinks everything in the store thinks everything is made in the U.S.A. obviously each country that has contracted manufacturing from NIKE have their own type of packaging as per instruction on the contract specifications. That guy in the store is the final end of the product as POS but he travels with these NIKE executives who sign these contracts with these overseas manufacturers are the ones who do these things that know the real facts. Ya right, they're not real? You're the one that is NOT real. Like I said each manufacturer or country may have slight differences in the cut, material and coloring. They call those shoes "Factory Defects" but they are still made by the same NIKE SUB-CONTRACTED MANUFACTURER and usually are sold off market with below market discounts. I bought 4 pairs once during a stop in Southeast Asia. Some countries even sell those that were not shipped due to slight factory defects but they are still legit made by the NIKE contracted manufacturer. Go to Vietnam or South Korea or Japan because you really do not know that much. FACTORY DEFECTS ARE REJECTS NOT PASSING Q.A. SPECIFICATIONS, THAT'S ALL. STILL THE SAME BRAND NIKE BUT MANUFACTURED IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. It is the same brand and is the real deal. For sure it is NOT MADE IN THE USA but NIKE made those contracts in those countries for real because labour cost in North America is way too expensive for the company. My word?? DUE DILIGENCE. GO TO THOSE COUNTRIES WHERE NIKE HAS THOSE MANUFACTURERS CONTRACTS WITH NIKE IF YOU STILL BELIEVE THOSE NIKE CONTRACTS WERE FAKE. THOSE WERE REAL CONTRACTS. DIDN'T TRUMP EVEN SAID THAT HE WANTS THOSE COMPANIES PULLED OUT OF CHINA AND MOVED SOMEWHERE ELSE LIKE MEXICO, BRAZIL OR COLUMBIA? Stop faking those people. I don't know if you're stupid or you really know how to scam people. Really? Really??? REALLY????? DUE DILIGENCE DUDE.
This dude is charismatic as hell. Got finesse coming out his ears lmao. Some dudes come into the store looking mean as hell but homie is so friendly and disarming that they don't even seem mad when he tells them he knows their shoes aren't real. Even the ones who are trying to trick him. That's a real life skill right there. Being able to get people to like you off jump is hard enough, but doing it while giving them bad news? Man, I envy that kind of charisma.
It's not as hard as you think... just be nice, that's it... the fact that simply being a decent person is seen as a hard skill in today's world shows how far society has truly fallen🤦♂️
I'm really not even into the shoe game but I really appreciate how this guy treats his customers so respectfully.and even takes the time to inform people on how to spot fakes so they're less likely to get ripped off in the future. Knowledge is power
Yeah dude looked like a clown. Dude was smart to just pass. Seems like the type of dude that would've caused a huge ass scene just because you told him he had a fake pair.
This guy’s personality is kind of a rare gift. His eye for design, color, texture which he’s using to spot fakes is obvious, but HOW we manages calm interactions and tough messages could get him FAR in many industries. I hope this guy is getting paid.
For those who own the fakes. You can’t wear the box. Wear them in good health. You already lost your money and a “slight” difference is what it is. But don’t try to sell them. Don’t do that.
I really appreciate how you deal with sketchy offers. You say no without putting anyone down. It’s a class act and I’m moved by it. I ether wear work boots or race shoes but I appreciate your craft even if I do not full understand it, or why I have watched the last 4 hours of it sir. Keep up the good work.
I like the fact you just keep it a hunnid and all love. No negative tryna joke too hard or put people down at all, just informative and giving information to those who need it. Love the vibes in the shop. Need to come through soon!
Let’s get real isn’t watching Rami therapeutic.😅 Everyday after coming home watching Rami always puts a smile on my face ❤😊. And the way he always interacts with his customers is so legendary . Let’s get that one mil!!❤❤❤
What I really like is how homie at least still treats them with respect and not outright clown them, even though they are trying to get over. Much respect.
I am amazed at the knowledge. One has to know so many details when dealing with sneakers. My favorite moment was the group that looked like siblings. Enjoy your channel.
I’m the father of a teenage boy and stumbling across these videos has been so intriguing….it’s also helped me with the “coolness” rating from my son by actually understanding the world of shoes ….fascinating to me is the cost of some of these and the network people really into this. Cheers for your videos and continued success!
I'm not anywhere near a sneakerhead so Idk why UA-cam threw this in my homepage to watch. But I'm glad I checked it out cuz I absolutely loved the way this dude interacted with everybody and how unbelievably professional he was at the same time. Mega respect for this dude and his craft... Immediately subscribed
I really appreciate how willing to help you are even if you almost got sold a fake product, you keep it professional and educate your customers. Keep being you dawg!
Really appreciate the friendliness and the professionalism despite some of these fools knowingly trynna flip fake pairs. You can tell he enjoys hoods work. 🙌🏼
I've worked retail most of my life and even had my own business at one point. This young man's product knowledge and his customer service skills are impressive. Wish him continued success 🙏
Like he said. You gotta look at the color the box the designs how heavy they are and how they feel. It's all kinda factors in play. Fyi stock x sell a lot of fake shit
I’m starting to think it’s because there’s so many fakes that he’s able to so easily spot fakes. Like I was so impressed when he’d say they’re fake from the second he saw the box but I’m realizing that he handles hundreds of real boxes and fake boxes daily, to the point that even small details are blatantly obvious to him.
Thats how you should treat a customer (& another human being). Empathy Politeness Understanding the situation Professionalism Were all spot -on. This video was a compilation across days/weeks, and you were consistent across, you are a natural bro. Great job bro, this is a master class on customer care.
It's always funny to me to see when people got like a $6,000 sneaker and they bring it into try to sell and then you tell him it's fake and they're like it's all good and then just walk out so you obviously know that they knew it was fake walking in cuz otherwise if I thought a pair of sneakers was real and they were six grand and I found out they were fake I'd be a little upset
they want to sell brass in a pawn shop, but they want the price of gold in return. its more like a very basic, and very safe way of doing crime. if it doesnt work out, they can say with a very innocent look on their faces that "really? its fake? daaamn :) ookaay bye :)))". I think its fucking disgusting.
Bro said someone gave him Diors Jordan 1s. They go for like 7k. Anytime I see someone with them I just assume it’s fake and they bought it for a couple hundred not knowing what they really are.
I am not really into sneakers, but I love your attitude, your drive and your genuine love for your followers. Much respect and hope you get to your million soon.
Dude I gotta respect how you stay chill in these situations. Like if I met a dickhead who were trying to scam me I'd be WAY less accomadating. And that's an understatement.
Relax, kid. In business, you have to remain respectful to your customers regardless of the situation because even one rude encounter will tarnish your reputation.
@@foncbi Ive only worked customer service so far, but Ive had the pleasure to work with a manager who knows when to have my back, Some people just dont deserve respect
@@hunterkinsella5303Well he's smart. If someone is willing to try to scam you, then they are more likely to be confrontational. So instead of being angry and rude and getting into an altercation over some shoes, be chill and dismiss them. Simple.
A couple things I find crazy, how far the shoe collection thing has come and that one person knows so much about all these different kinds of shoes, insane
They were sued by Nike. Since then, they dont authenticate. They check "quality". At a push, they might reject a "bad" fake. But a good fake will pass. I paid £200 for fake Jordan 5s.
If you do just buy fake ones lol, the only ones that really care if there real are sneaker collectors. It’s a slight gamble but fakes can be better or worse than the actual thing.
Just happened upon this. But. My wife is a pawn shop manager. I have seen tons of not great customer service. And I wanna say that your customer service is so wonderful. Even when you know people are trying to pull one over you are so damn pleasant. Big ups
Exactly and equally as impressive of a trait is knowing/determining the person youre dealing with. Theres people who know their shoes are fake but will try to fight you even if you politely say theyre not real. Sometimes rami will make up an excuse like they just don't go for much and I don't want to disrespect you on a low offer. As opposed to saying we don't take fakes, in order to diffuse a potentially heated situation. Super smart on his part!
Just started watching this channel, it's great, thanks!. I've never been in the shoe game but this is too cool, very informative. Man I would be handling the paper like royalty putting them in and out of boxes lol
@macewindau3060talk shit. Its in the persona like he is clean cut and above it all. Definately a sociapath especially molotto skin bruddas, all socios
I like videos like this. When it comes to shows, autographs, cars, and so on. The way they are able to just look at things and tell is pretty good. The sellers are hilarious wanting retail.
Not sure how this ended up in my recommended but I went down a rabbit hole and I can’t stop watching these vids. To be able to look at the box and shoes and tell right away they are fake or not is crazy. Subbed.
First time viewer & I have enormous respect for you how you treat each customer with such respect & how you even compliment the customer so many times & tell them there fakes look nice even though they clearly know there trying to sell fakes to you. I worked in retail myself & anyone who works with public knows the frustration of dealing with so many people per day & your making them know they can’t mess with you lot selling fakes but there made to feel comfortable & appreciated for coming in so they’ll probably end up coming back in the future:) so many cashiers would shout & say leave banning the person from spending money in the future were you genuinely handled all of this like a boss & tell your boss from me to give you a bonus unless you are the boss in which case talk to whoever is higher as your customer service is just amazing

You can literally see the disappointment on that kid’s face on the first video, little man thought he’ll get away with it 😂
you could tell he knew they was fake
When rami hits you with the "Where you get these ?" that's when you need to start worryin...
Mad respect for how professional and respectful you are man. What a sad world we live in ppl making a comfortable ass living off of scamming innocent ppl who spend their hard earned money just hoping to get a pair of legit kicks.. ah
money is the root of all evil
Yeah, I mean if you're gonna sell fake shoes or replica shoes just tell the buyer that and sell for a fair price. I don't have a problem with fakes. Just people who try to sell them off as real for full price.
@@Quazimo The love of money is the root of all evil.
@@W1ggumm you literally need it to survive. so not exactly. we dont love money, we love the things we want and need in life. money divides us, money causes greed, money causes egos, money causes death, money can let you live. So, money is, the root of all evil.
I know about this stuff because I heard about it when the craze started way back when people were trying to get a certain pair of Jordan's that came out & how expensive they were. This was back when Jordan was still playing basketball. I also know that people collect the shoes, put them up, & sometimes try to resale them years later down the road. Then there are stores where the owner has bought used ones, professionally reconditioned them & then sets up a used resale shoe store for these popular shoes. So are these people buying the used shoes that have been reconditioned only to find they're fake? Or, are they trying to buy current popular Jordan's that are brand new & the current craze only to discover that they're fake? If it's the later, what reputable store would sake a fake used shoe...ie..purchasing brand new ones at a Nike store or other kind of sports store, or Neiman Marcus, etc.?
12:07 Dude in the back had to walk his laugh off and checked a shoe on the wall real quick lmaooo
slappin the soul outta those reps

best answer if u dont wanna get a fist in your head x'D
@@HungryFor_Games”fist”😭😭 more like some rounds
People be giving StockX a bad name lmao 😂
Fr knowing they didn’t get them from StockX😂😂
Never really bought off StockX but out of curiosity do they authenticate on there?
@@Smokeybean32 stockx has sold alot of fake pairs
Nike literally bought off stockx multiple random times and they were all fake. Thats why mfs all say they got it off there. Not the other way around
They way you make everyone feel valued even if they might know they’re a fake pair is a tool most business owners do not possess. Amazing skills there.
Dude, I'm freaking addicted to your vids!! Love how patient and cool you are about it brother! Much love and God bless!🙏👊
I'm a grown working man and I only watched out of curiosity. Such things as designer sneakers are so unfathomable to me, I can't even tell you. So I expected to laugh and scoff. And I did. But I have to say the kid impressed me with his knowledge and professionalism. You won this old man over. I hope you keep doing what you're doing. You're going to succeed in life.
I would be like" Sorry dude, they're just shoes....:

I agree

It's fantastic that you genuinely assist individuals in identifying fakes and authenticating their shoes. I had assumed that this would be a video of someone making fun of con artists, yet you treat everyone with great respect. Fantastic work, man!
He a coward and fake. He never tell them in their faces it's fake. Wtf??? Is a man? No.
This gon be one of your most viewed videos, like that you keep it real with the sellers but are also respectful. Keep up the good work👍🏻
Shout out to China for making this video possible
This guy has impeccable customer service skills and an amazing attitude and demeanor.
😂 love how he sends them to the other stores lmao
I’m not a sneaker head but this is interesting. Dude is an expert. Always cool to see a master of their craft
I find it hard to believe there's just mass-production of fakes. Feel like this is mostly cap for clout.
@@starblenderfor clout 😂😂😂
'expert' yet misses fakes
@@starblenderit definitely is , the fake factory is literally normally across the st from the real one . Over seas
@@starblenderwym? There are so many factories out there that make fakes. Anybody now can buy shit from Pandabuy etc and get fakes. No matter what shoe it is.
Man you got a lot of class for letting people see the difference, and educating. I appreciate you.
I am not sure if you will see this. I am older and no nothing of your industry, but coming from 25 years in the diamond business it's amazing to see the similarities. Well done handling your customer base, and it was a pleasure watching your process with each item. I randomly found this channel and enjoyed it very much. Good luck to you in the future and keep it up.
Wow, I had no idea fake shoes were this common. That's crazy. You really know your craft, I respect that.
CHINA 🇨🇳
They are not fake sorry. Nike has sub-contracts with thousands of manufacturers all over the world like China, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Cambodia, Mexico, Brazil, Honduras, Belize, etc to cut labour costs and the cost of material. Don't blame these people but blame those businessmen who make those contracts overseas. It's not the fault of the shopper or buyer but they want to make good deals too since most everything is overpriced in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe, etc. Even the packaging will differ depending on which manufacturer and country it came from. That guy thinks everything in the store thinks everything is made in the U.S.A. obviously each country that has contracted manufacturing from NIKE have their own type of packaging as per instruction on the contract specifications. That guy in the store is the final end of the product as POS but he travels with these NIKE executives who sign these contracts with these overseas manufacturers are the ones who do these things that know the real facts. Ya right, they're not real? You're the one that is NOT real. Like I said each manufacturer or country may have slight differences in the cut, material and coloring. They call those shoes "Factory Defects" but they are still made by the same NIKE SUB-CONTRACTED MANUFACTURER and usually are sold off market with below market discounts. I bought 4 pairs once during a stop in Southeast Asia. Some countries even sell those that were not shipped due to slight factory defects but they are still legit made by the NIKE contracted manufacturer. Go to Vietnam or South Korea or Japan because you really do not know that much. FACTORY DEFECTS ARE REJECTS NOT PASSING Q.A. SPECIFICATIONS, THAT'S ALL. STILL THE SAME BRAND NIKE BUT MANUFACTURED IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. It is the same brand and is the real deal. For sure it is NOT MADE IN THE USA but NIKE made those contracts in those countries for real because labour cost in North America is way too expensive for the company. My word?? DUE DILIGENCE. GO TO THOSE COUNTRIES WHERE NIKE HAS THOSE MANUFACTURERS CONTRACTS WITH NIKE IF YOU STILL BELIEVE THOSE NIKE CONTRACTS WERE FAKE. THOSE WERE REAL CONTRACTS. DIDN'T TRUMP EVEN SAID THAT HE WANTS THOSE COMPANIES PULLED OUT OF CHINA AND MOVED SOMEWHERE ELSE LIKE MEXICO, BRAZIL OR COLUMBIA? Stop faking those people. I don't know if you're stupid or you really know how to scam people. Really? Really??? REALLY????? DUE DILIGENCE DUDE.
I mean this is a compilation video lol
@@Myfrilleddragons Even the real ones are made in China
@@EdoHPmost Nikes are Vietnam I think
This dude is charismatic as hell. Got finesse coming out his ears lmao. Some dudes come into the store looking mean as hell but homie is so friendly and disarming that they don't even seem mad when he tells them he knows their shoes aren't real. Even the ones who are trying to trick him. That's a real life skill right there. Being able to get people to like you off jump is hard enough, but doing it while giving them bad news? Man, I envy that kind of charisma.
It’s the Rizz. He’s got that moxie that you can’t teach
It's not as hard as you think... just be nice, that's it... the fact that simply being a decent person is seen as a hard skill in today's world shows how far society has truly fallen🤦♂️
@@justno984these damn kids man 🤦🏾♂️ It’s madness,
He’s just talking normally, it’s not hard. Parents just aren’t teaching their kids how to be proper anymore.
So when's the wedding?
🥰😍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm really not even into the shoe game but I really appreciate how this guy treats his customers so respectfully.and even takes the time to inform people on how to spot fakes so they're less likely to get ripped off in the future. Knowledge is power
Just randomly clicked on this, and ended up watching the whole damn thing. Props for showing respect, kindness, and even educating those that want it!
Yeah I don't even like sneakers and I just randomly stumbled upon these videos. I've watched like 50 of them so far haha
my fav was the gang banger trying to tell you not to touch his shoes. you handled it well
You shouldn't have to tiptoe around confronting someone that's trying to rip you off.
How you know he was a gang banger?
@beatsbydonjulio401 ikr he's probably cartel 🤫
Yeah dude looked like a clown. Dude was smart to just pass. Seems like the type of dude that would've caused a huge ass scene just because you told him he had a fake pair.
@@callilove8378 now why tf would cartel be selling fake jordans? 🤡
This guy’s personality is kind of a rare gift. His eye for design, color, texture which he’s using to spot fakes is obvious, but HOW we manages calm interactions and tough messages could get him FAR in many industries.
I hope this guy is getting paid.
What a sweet Momma! Sending you love Momma from one Mom to another…you’re doing AWESOME!
For those who own the fakes. You can’t wear the box. Wear them in good health. You already lost your money and a “slight” difference is what it is. But don’t try to sell them. Don’t do that.
Yee fakes are nice to wear since you dont pay an exorbitant price for some sneakers who cost 30$ to make
less @@ronaldmcdonald6067
There all made in china 🇨🇳😂
They bought them fake on purpose. Scammers lol
I think they’re buying fakes with the intent of reselling them for more money. That said, I didn’t even know the fake shoe problem was this common.
Respect to the people who brought in fakes they thought were legit but then just learning from Rami and appreciating his time
I really appreciate how you deal with sketchy offers. You say no without putting anyone down. It’s a class act and I’m moved by it. I ether wear work boots or race shoes but I appreciate your craft even if I do not full understand it, or why I have watched the last 4 hours of it sir. Keep up the good work.
I’m genuinely impressed at how good the fakes are.
I like the fact you just keep it a hunnid and all love. No negative tryna joke too hard or put people down at all, just informative and giving information to those who need it. Love the vibes in the shop. Need to come through soon!
NO YOU DONT CLOWN 🤡
Let’s get real isn’t watching Rami therapeutic.😅 Everyday after coming home watching Rami always puts a smile on my face ❤😊. And the way he always interacts with his customers is so legendary . Let’s get that one mil!!❤❤❤
jumping jacks on it
Bro swallowing and gargling on it😭
Only when ur moms there 😒😏
@@heyoitsyaboi 🦗🦗
doing tricks on it god damn
What I really like is how homie at least still treats them with respect and not outright clown them, even though they are trying to get over. Much respect.
Happy Bday Rami! Thx for always being here after all , even on your vacations, you are a legend man!
This guy seems nice and knows how to talk to people. Props.
I am amazed at the knowledge. One has to know so many details when dealing with sneakers. My favorite moment was the group that looked like siblings. Enjoy your channel.
When Rami says "Where'd you get these?", you know you're cooked.
I’m the father of a teenage boy and stumbling across these videos has been so intriguing….it’s also helped me with the “coolness” rating from my son by actually understanding the world of shoes ….fascinating to me is the cost of some of these and the network people really into this.
Cheers for your videos and continued success!
W father
W dad
The energy is intoxicating. So much positivity even when people try go rip him off.
I'm not anywhere near a sneakerhead so Idk why UA-cam threw this in my homepage to watch. But I'm glad I checked it out cuz I absolutely loved the way this dude interacted with everybody and how unbelievably professional he was at the same time. Mega respect for this dude and his craft... Immediately subscribed
I really appreciate how willing to help you are even if you almost got sold a fake product, you keep it professional and educate your customers. Keep being you dawg!
Really appreciate the friendliness and the professionalism despite some of these fools knowingly trynna flip fake pairs. You can tell he enjoys hoods work. 🙌🏼
Required a lot of strength and self-discipline to engage with fools and treat people with kindness and deflect unnecessary fights.
I just recently found your videos. But I just have to say we need more kind and genuine people in this world like you.
I've worked retail most of my life and even had my own business at one point. This young man's product knowledge and his customer service skills are impressive. Wish him continued success 🙏
This has to be my favorite content rn on UA-cam and I never thought it would be lol
Good grief! Didn't realize how much fakes are in the US. You have a talent to identify fakes. Guess if I had a fake, I would just wear it. 😂
Like he said. You gotta look at the color the box the designs how heavy they are and how they feel. It's all kinda factors in play. Fyi stock x sell a lot of fake shit
I’m starting to think it’s because there’s so many fakes that he’s able to so easily spot fakes. Like I was so impressed when he’d say they’re fake from the second he saw the box but I’m realizing that he handles hundreds of real boxes and fake boxes daily, to the point that even small details are blatantly obvious to him.
@@Omni313rdwhat place only sells real online ?
There are fakes in every country
Bro thinks he's charlie brown
Subbed. I don’t even care about kicks like that anymore but you’re so chill and genuine. Glad you’re not out to be an asshole or make people look bad.
Mad respect. Studying the authentic, you can easily spot the fakes. This can be applied to many things.
Especially women. Lot of fake stuff to make a modern women.
You know they fake when I say “I got em from my friend “🤣😭😭
Thats how you should treat a customer (& another human being).
Empathy
Politeness
Understanding the situation
Professionalism
Were all spot -on.
This video was a compilation across days/weeks, and you were consistent across, you are a natural bro.
Great job bro, this is a master class on customer care.
excellent comment 🤝
It's always funny to me to see when people got like a $6,000 sneaker and they bring it into try to sell and then you tell him it's fake and they're like it's all good and then just walk out so you obviously know that they knew it was fake walking in cuz otherwise if I thought a pair of sneakers was real and they were six grand and I found out they were fake I'd be a little upset
This is excatly what I was goin to comment…. SMH
they want to sell brass in a pawn shop, but they want the price of gold in return. its more like a very basic, and very safe way of doing crime. if it doesnt work out, they can say with a very innocent look on their faces that "really? its fake? daaamn :) ookaay bye :)))".
I think its fucking disgusting.
Fr, I didn't think about that 😂😂😂😅
Bro said someone gave him Diors Jordan 1s. They go for like 7k. Anytime I see someone with them I just assume it’s fake and they bought it for a couple hundred not knowing what they really are.
“Can you legit check these” is the part that is said.
“If I’m able to fool you, they’re for sale” is the part they don’t say.
I am not really into sneakers, but I love your attitude, your drive and your genuine love for your followers. Much respect and hope you get to your million soon.
I like that you're educating your audience. Big ups for that!🙌
Honestly my totally respects for explaining every single customer how did you knew they were fake, and getting them their explanation is just top!
You know what's coming when Rami leads with the "where'd you get these?"
You’ve mastered the art of being so chill but also so professional at the same time, I’m shook fr
This guy is the nicest guy on UA-cam.
I dunno why watching this guy is so entertaining, but he is and i can watch him all day. Good shit bro
Dude I gotta respect how you stay chill in these situations. Like if I met a dickhead who were trying to scam me I'd be WAY less accomadating.
And that's an understatement.
Relax, kid. In business, you have to remain respectful to your customers regardless of the situation because even one rude encounter will tarnish your reputation.
@@foncbi Ive only worked customer service so far, but Ive had the pleasure to work with a manager who knows when to have my back, Some people just dont deserve respect
@hunterkinsella5303 you cross the wrong insecure guy and he might just come back with a gun. These days it’s best to be careful.
@@hunterkinsella5303Well he's smart. If someone is willing to try to scam you, then they are more likely to be confrontational. So instead of being angry and rude and getting into an altercation over some shoes, be chill and dismiss them. Simple.
A couple things I find crazy, how far the shoe collection thing has come and that one person knows so much about all these different kinds of shoes, insane
I mean he’s been working at shoe store since 13…
Right?? Like how does he know everything??
@@ramsam4522 cause he is educated, it is his hobby and niche too
I love the pace of the video ! Its great to watch a master at work
Gotta love that this man is still posting while on vacation.❤
Grinding will get him far... 1M subs coming soon. 1hunna.
Coming from an outdoor profession I will never understand sneakerheads but this dude has a one of a kind eye
I like how he sends them to the competition after noticing they're fake.
i’m not sure but i’m pretty sure they own that store too
Dope that you let people down easy instead of disrespecting them. Much respect
Stockx needs to be held accountable for promising "verification" this is ridiculous
You know half of the people saying that are lying
They were sued by Nike. Since then, they dont authenticate. They check "quality". At a push, they might reject a "bad" fake. But a good fake will pass. I paid £200 for fake Jordan 5s.
This has convinced me to never buy a pair of designer sneakers. Wtf. Great vid, love the respect you show your customers.
If you do just buy fake ones lol, the only ones that really care if there real are sneaker collectors. It’s a slight gamble but fakes can be better or worse than the actual thing.
just get them from a real store bruh
edited 👎🏿
Just happened upon this. But. My wife is a pawn shop manager. I have seen tons of not great customer service. And I wanna say that your customer service is so wonderful. Even when you know people are trying to pull one over you are so damn pleasant. Big ups
“Houston we have a problem” you’re funny af bro 😂👌🏼
Love the way you're so respectful in rejecting shoes. Especially knowing most people blatantly know they are fakes.
Exactly and equally as impressive of a trait is knowing/determining the person youre dealing with. Theres people who know their shoes are fake but will try to fight you even if you politely say theyre not real. Sometimes rami will make up an excuse like they just don't go for much and I don't want to disrespect you on a low offer. As opposed to saying we don't take fakes, in order to diffuse a potentially heated situation.
Super smart on his part!
This video should be called “where’d you get these” lol
Great customer service skills and amazing how fast he can tell fakes.
Love how respectful you is bruv much love 👌🏾🌹
Just started watching this channel, it's great, thanks!. I've never been in the shoe game but this is too cool, very informative. Man I would be handling the paper like royalty putting them in and out of boxes lol
Rami the icon always making my day💪🏽
I had no idea how big the Nike shoe craze is. This guy is very professional and doesn’t seem to want to poke anyone’s eyes. May God bless you bro.
I feel bad for the people who legitimately thought they had the real shoes & ended up being fake,unfortunately too many people get scammed everyday
“ Houston We Have A Problem “ 😂
He's so nice. Doesn't try to embarrass them. Helps the people who genuinely don't know. I like this guy a lot.
please make another one of these. 12:07 was perfect. Frankie's reaction
He has the energy of a deceptive police officer. Im glad hes in the sneaker biz.
Lol why u say that?
@macewindau3060talk shit. Its in the persona like he is clean cut and above it all. Definately a sociapath especially molotto skin bruddas, all socios
I like videos like this. When it comes to shows, autographs, cars, and so on. The way they are able to just look at things and tell is pretty good.
The sellers are hilarious wanting retail.
love all the effort you put in your videos Rami!!
Not sure how this ended up in my recommended but I went down a rabbit hole and I can’t stop watching these vids.
To be able to look at the box and shoes and tell right away they are fake or not is crazy. Subbed.
Literally going through the exact same thing 🤣
First time viewer & I have enormous respect for you how you treat each customer with such respect & how you even compliment the customer so many times & tell them there fakes look nice even though they clearly know there trying to sell fakes to you.
I worked in retail myself & anyone who works with public knows the frustration of dealing with so many people per day & your making them know they can’t mess with you lot selling fakes but there made to feel comfortable & appreciated for coming in so they’ll probably end up coming back in the future:) so many cashiers would shout & say leave banning the person from spending money in the future were you genuinely handled all of this like a boss & tell your boss from me to give you a bonus unless you are the boss in which case talk to whoever is higher as your customer service is just amazing
