Thanks for watching!
For reals bro. I show up to school with the really cool Jordan’s with the backwards swoosh and everyone thinks I’m so cool. I have no idea why the real ones are so expensive xDDD!!!
Cactus Jack would be proud🔥🌵🚀
"With the backwards swoosh" bro please at least learn their name for fucks sake😭
They are made the same damn way. Faces sometimes look better than the real ones.
Your a child and dont understand limited commodity markets
No one thinks you're cool for ur fake travis' gang💀
2 reasons they've said that:
1. Resellers tryna gaslight the market audience so that they can leverage themselves which is just pointless considering the price differences.
2. Some people are jealous that someone is getting the same or more attention than them wearing the cheaper option.
If you're broke just say that 🤷♀️
@@user-in7tb1ix6t u love getting raw dogged by resellers and nike aren’t u?
@01suku shii, guess I do. Keep rockin them reps tho gang🔥💯😂😂
@@user-in7tb1ix6t while getting hella compliments 😂🔥
@@user-in7tb1ix6t yea but to ask u an honest question, if u think a shoe looks nice, why not just get reps if reselling has made them hard to get? In theory its pretending to be someone ur not, but not every shoe looks good like a collaboration ya feel?
YOU are faking YOURSELF if you think designer items are worth the cost. 😂
Well said
For real Nike is overrated anyways
@RAMIRO0good reps can last years 😂
@@MpPickzeven bad reps tbh
@RAMIRO0 nah dude 20 bucks on dhgage you get wearable shoes
People buy replicas of items because they like how the item looks and don’t wanna sell their house just to get it, it’s not because we “are not being ourselves” it’s because we don’t care about the value of the product and only care about the looks.
Fr bro, I love how the Travis Scott dunk lows look and u don’t wanna buy the real ones cuz they’re 1k dollars, better to just buy repa
Realize ya making the real product more valuable. if it isn’t worth it I wouldn’t pay $1 or $1000 just pass 😂
@@ErN3S70you mean to tell me that you can’t find other alternatives out of the thousands of other options out here? That’s like trying to upbadge a V6 Charger to a Hellcat. Might as well throw on some clown shoes to show everyone what you really are.
@@donjon2816why should he find other products that he doesn't like? It's like having the option to buy bootleg CDs of your favorite artists for a fraction of the price instead of paying 10 times more for an "authentic" CD that just had better packaging. At the end of the day, you're getting the same thing out of the product at a much cheaper cost. If something costs x amount to make, you're just foolish if you're willing to spend 100x to buy it.
Well, replicas and real products are still made in China...
they doin it cuz prices is 450 brotha 😂
Ya I'm not going to spend 450 on something that truly is worth 120
So what ? Buy sketches are that you’re mother can actually buy you
If you’re broke then wear clothes that’s in your league instead of faking your entire life just because you’re desperate enough to look like you’re “ballin”
@@spikesgaming1960can you say that again, but this time in english.
@@chinbotsukid was stuttering behind his phone lmao
There is ZERO incentive for anyone to be loyal to ANY shoe manufacturer sans endorsement contract. You spend money on a product that's marked up exorbitantly at retail, then subjected to further mark ups dictated by individuals that create scarcity of said product solely for profit and expect the rest of the consumer base to follow suit. Yea, it's madness. Tulipmania all over again.
Well said!
Yes!
Meanwhile the fakes and real thing are being made using the same material and the workers are both being paid $0.50 an hour overseas.
Men buy power tools and invest money into office equipment to earn Millions. Lil boys out here buying cheap shoes to get some attention.
Resellers are one of the main reasons people have to wear fakes. They tax people so hard it's insane. Back in the 90's pretty much everyone got shoes if they wanted to, from a regular shoe store.
Exactly.
Nobody HAS to weak fakes
If you cant get the real just get something else
@Lee-ic2yn if they want the shoes that came out only way they can afford to is by getting fakes. Resellers take the common person and ruin any chance they have of getting something special. It would suck growing up and never being able to get the shoes you want because they sell out in secs.
@@Lee-ic2yndickhead
@@Lee-ic2ynthing is, a lot of people want a shoe that a company ain't producing.
Chicago 1s for example. A basic white and red Jordan 1, great casual shoe that goes with a lot. Huge demand for a sneaker like that, but Nike isn't meeting that demand. So, if someone is set on getting that shoe, they have two options. They can buy it from a reseller at a massively increased price, or they can get something else as you said. Reps are that something else for a lot of people who just like the shoe.
If Nike won't sell them the shoe, then they won't be buying the Nike shoe.
Imagine taking 2 items that look and function the exact same way and trying to call someone dumb for getting the cheaper one 💀. Have fun buying 10 dollar products for 600 bucks goofies.
Facts gang, markup be like 2000-3000% or more on some of these designer brands. Shits crazy.
Fr I just want Travvys Ive been listening to his music for years but never had a chance to get his shoes
they're prisoners of capitalism 🤣🤣🤣
if you can’t afford a shoe don’t buy it then. ur logic makes 0 sense bc you’re mad at the inflated price that got caused by high demand. So for everyone agreeing w you they should all just start putting ferrari body kits on their hondas and wearing rolex from offerup cuz it’ll look “exactly the same”
@@Ryco99-z2pbut the things you describe actually do look different. In a lot of cases reps are actually better quality than the real thing so people who buy the real ones are actually buying a worse product for a way higher price
Fake yeezy's back in like 2015 were literally the comfiest shoe I've ever owned
Where do u get fakes from
@@Just_Teypandabuy or other sites like that
I have a fake pair of Yeezy’s that are now 8 years old. I just cleaned them up and they still look brand new. I literally beat the living hell out of them and they won’t die. The most bullproof pair of sneakers I own. Definitely outlasted all my real sneakers that old.
I recently bought some Yeezys from a guy that was selling them in the flea market,one of them you can easily tell are fake because of the SPLY=SPLV but the other pair you can pass as real and I like how comfortable they are I bought them 10xs less than what 1 original pair cost but not a lot of people care what you wear nowadays only the resellers and or sneaker heads the rest of the world have better things to do than to pay attention to what you wear
That's because you never had real boost before 😂
It’s not necessarily trying to be somebody that you aren’t. Some people just want to get away with spending money on something that shouldn’t even cost that much (fashion wise).
Others just want to wear the shoes they want without having to spend a ridiculous amount of money.
Clothes should never cost your whole rent check. I'll never see value in that
I don't think that goods like clothes say how you are 🤦♂️
It doesnt matter what you wear if you enjoy it then its good
Resellers killed the streetwear game I’m good ima buy a really nice pair of reps no matter what I have the connects I can live with myself lol
Yeah mate fund the chinese communist party and fund people having even less rights to make these trainers.
Fantastic alternative all because you are a cheap arse.
Imagine spending a months rent on a shoe😂😂
theyll retaliate by telling you cant affotd it sheep mentaluty to buy the real thing that is slightly better 10 times the price sure you got more money but that doesnt fundamentally change you if you buy materialistic items for the sake of flexing you are a sheep
They be homeless( not paying rent/mortgage) with cheap ( Jordan's are cheap sneakers) shoe's on their feet.....
People wear fakes because resellers are holding all the shoes and controlling the resale prices. F-em, let them keep the hype. Ill keep my money.
If you manage to cop a pair retail, most nike shoes aren't too steep in price, but the shoes that are like 2k for no reason fair enough, but don't buy red October's tho they just make you look tacky
Fr like what’s the problem with picking a pair of fake shoes that put a smile on ur face so many people worry about other and living for their happiness and expectations
pretentious people who think they are superior for wasting there money on fabric nylon leather when you got slightly worse fabric nylon leather for 10 times less the price financial sheep
Exactly
@@JohnKimble-bl9wvbuying fakes is pretentious as hell
You're literally PRETENDING you have something that you don't
sneaker collecting is a hobby for alot of people, so if they find enjoyment out of spending money on it, so be it. it also makes sense for people to not wanna pay 1k+ for some shoes. its their money, it’s their choice
i personally pay for real sneakers bc i feel better when i wear them and it feels good to get them on drop/win a raffle, but again to each their own
I’m right there with you Mori👌
@@nyc.shyeee"real sneakers"? they're all made in China😐
@@TB21hunnid then buy reps idc what you do with your money
@@TB21hunnidNot all Nike shoes are made in China. Even bad cheap product are made in China.
I'm honest that my sneakers are fake, cus i like how they look not how exclusive or exspensive they are.
Best way to approach fakes, buy a pair, give them to a friend then ask that friend to gift them back. No guilt feeling anymore .
That’s too much for me😂🤯
L take
If ur friend is paranoid about receiving fakes, but trusts that you're giving 'em the real deal, I'd actually feel even more guilty. I ain't about to be as fake as my shoes lol. If I wanna get fakes that's my decision, but I can't do my bro dirty like that 😂
What guilt feeling?
“When you buy fakes, you’re trying to be someone you’re not”
So let me get this straight: paying hundreds for a big red pair of boots makes you “authentic”, but understanding the value of money & opting into an identical Rep Jordan 1, for a fraction (yet somehow still *overpriced* , honestly) of the price of a real Jordan 1, makes you fake?
hilarious isn’t it😂
If your budget can go buy original go for it IF not dont stop them to buy yourself a reps.... mygod why this has to be a debate
For REAL!!
90% of resellers are middle class so the fact they wear STREETWEAR means there faking themselves cause they ain't from the streets!! 💯
I’m upper middle class now but I was from the streets most of my childhood. Still wear streetwear.
Yeah we only buy reps because resellers ruined the sneaker market

@@v8monster23damn you want Travis that bad 😂😂😂😂😂
Wearing fakes is a message „lower your prices and I’d be glad to shop with you but when you charge over 300 for a pair of j4s then we have a problem!“
Ill just say ONE thing.
Wearing Replicas is okay.
Selling or passing off Replicas as Real Sneakers is not.
Know the difference. As mong as it involves just you and your choice its okay.
If you wear fakes you are trying to show your personality in clothing without having to spend all your money
the only people who are against reps, are the people reselling and buying reps at marked up prices, the people buying real shit trying to look better than those who don’t, and the companies themselves 😭
I wouldn't buy a fake Rolex, but I would buy fake Nikes if they were comfortable enough to wear.
Most people buy replicas because they like the way something looks and wears and can’t afford the astronomical prices of some of the collabs
Yeah resale markets and hype has played a huge part in it

I’ll take a nice rep of the Yeezy 2s any time. I thought paying $700 for them back in high school was insane, and I think its psychotic if you’re really willing to drop $3K+ for a cooked pair. I’ve seen so many people wear theirs out in public just to look disappointed when literally no one cares that they got these super cool expensive shoes on 💀
Trading Yeezy 2s for a used car could be a good vid👀
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I can see it happening. People back then were trading their used cars for a pair of Galaxy Foams lmao
I blame the "botters". But in a way they have also done us a favour because reps are so good these days, who actually needs to get ripped off with retail prices any more??
Fr tho, i would rather wear fakes than wear a 25k sneaker while being broke af
Nowadays with resale prices dying down there’s so many good sneakers that aren’t reselling for crazy prices
Yeah but the other option is just buying a different pair of shoes that doesn't cost crazy and looks good.
Only people who care about shoes think your a fake, I’ll wear fakes I don’t mind. Cheaper too!
if you broke af than a 25K sneaker should be the last thing you should be wanting lol. If you can't afford it it's not for you. Go buy some good GR's
@@ZonbiZonbi89 literally theres always nice pairs of Air max 90s or AF1 or React visions or some Adidas sambas/gazelles etc etc

Let’s be honest here, some reps look better and are even better quality than the originals 😂
My Jordan mocha replicas just came in today 😂. You have to really stare at a shoes to tell if it's real or not these days.
Where do u get fakes from
@@Just_Tey idk if you’re still wondering but DH gate is good
If you're spending 4k on shoes...... you're screwing yourself over lol
It only makes sense if you view fashion and the brands you wear as your identity. Most people just think a thing looks nice. And if it’s significantly marked up, they’re going to find alternatives.

Do what makes you happy. I don’t personally buy fakes but I don’t knock people that do. Same with all those people who buy hundreds of pairs to resell for a profit, whatever. Do what makes you happy.

Nothing wrong with buying fakes, just don’t claim it to be original.
This! Don’t be on the Gram or at a sneaker convention trying to flex 😂.
ON POINT! Also don’t deceive others by saying it is original
i buy clothes because i think they look good, they buy the same clothes at a rediculous cost BECAUSE of the cost. money can’t buy style. i love wearing reps and so does my bank 😂 as long as i think the clothes look good and are comfortable then im happy idgaf about anyone else lol.
Buy quality fakes and invest your money! Stop making these name brands rich at the expense of your sweat and time
How can you be this stupid
imagine buying a product for over a $1000+ that costed a company $22 to make and you call people who buy the cheaper option fake 😭 💀

If I wear fakes it is because I can’t afford the authentic version, so I buy fakes. Not because I’m trying to be “someone else” I just like the sneakers. I don’t get why we get so much hate for this 😢
I wear replicas with no guilt or shame. I’m not even a sneakerhead, if a shoe goes with the fit then why not wear fakes. Who gives af.
People outside the US don’t care or watch for fakes like in the US. Shoe culture isn’t big like that in Europe.

@@flipalips1173 also, how do you “fake the job that you work for” ?
i used wear fake ones at that moment i can’t afford them. but not because to lied myself and other, but because i just like them.
My biggest preference for fakes is simply because of how cheaper they are. Even with this fact, I still rarely even buy fake shoes and jerseys having only done it in a total of 6 times. It was always the thought of having that look I wanted with the shoes which make me appreciate having fakes instead for the benefit of my allowance or my parents if they're the ones who buy it.
*edit*: I only focus on the thought of why they bought these fakes for me, and any gift they give me is never worthless. I don't even ask my parents to buy me anything anymore, I just do my best in school to make them happy so that I make sure the money they spent for my wants are paid off by my hard work.
Even if the sneaker they bought for me is fake, the love and thoughtfulness they put into spending that money to buy me makes it worth more than any legit sneaker worth over a billion dollars.
Plus, I actually prefer window shopping more than actual shopping, to the point where I try to learn prices of objects and calculate an imaginary budget. When I said "preference for fakes", its cause I like window shopping through this big ass market selling them nearby. Since I live pretty far from where those big shopping malls and outlets can be found, I like spending my time looking at all the fakes at that market and counting how much each would cost.
So sue me, but I have a soft spots for fakes.
Buying fakes is literally burning your parents money though because they are literally worthless.
Buying fake jewelry will turn you green, the only thing buying reps will do is hurt a sneakerheads feelings 😂 idgaf about any of that, people are slow and can’t seem to remember when you leave this earth you can’t take your expensive shoes with you 😂
If you’re paying up to 2 or 3 times the retail price of an item YOURE only fooling yourself😂
I honestly do agree, I don't see a reason for buying reps at all. If I don't score the shoe I like on release then I just get another pair or try again next time. There are also other brands than Jordan and Yeezy out there, just saying. If you get a fake shoe then you are most certainly trying to associate yourself with that 'brand', there is no way around that.
I do understand the argument tho, resell culture is certainly fucked up but you will never catch me buying or wearing reps.
THANK YOU. This is the only comment that makes sense here. If all of streetwear and sneakers were reps then there's no point. Might as well just wear generic non-branded apparel. You're trying to obtain a specific look but if you can't afford that then that's not the space you need to be in. Start from the bottom, buy piece by piece and build your collection like we've always done. Trade up, double up, sell or do what you gotta do to get that grail but reps should NEVER be an option

he said he disagrees with it
Use your brain dog
if u rly think abt it “real “ shoes and “reps” are made within the same regions with similar factories. one just has the rights with the Nike company while the other does not.
For the People that buy fakes, just buy regular stuff. Since it don’t matter lol
Lmao what that made no sense
I've noticed people usually buy reps cuz they wanna fit in the sneakerhead community but dont have the money to spend on it yet in my opinion.
@slatt Hahahah exactly, the internet is full of these people who think they've said something profound
Why do you care what other people wear?
if i buy fakes it’s because i care about the design, not the designer lol. no way im spending hundreds on a shoe just because of the brand when all i care about is the shoe design lol 😂
The popularity behind fakes is a true example of the free market. Scalpers have made it to hard to buy shoes and people are just reacting to being priced out.
why do you care
To me, it’s more “I like the fashion, I don’t care where it was actually made” and “pay less for the same thing”, then it ever being about “maybe these people will think I’m rich because I’m wearing discount Yeezy’s”
Faking myself?
Geez 🤦🏻♂️
I’d be faking myself by not being realistic and aware that I’d be out my mind spending tons of money in clothing
I’ve been getting reps since I first understood the concept of them at 12 yrs old
fr
The reason reps are so popular is due to all the greedy people that made it impossible for regular people to buy the real ones for the actual price
some fake look better the real one .always supply and demand.
Facts. People are paying five times retail for colorways of shoes that have the exact same material as shoes that sell below the cost of retail.
The manufactured scarcity utilized by these fashion companies is directly to blame for the rise of fakes.
I wear fakes and will always post them
I remember in high school when people used to expose people for wearing fakes I think wear whatever makes you comfortable
yo fr, sum guy from my class said mine were fake and a few months later, he got the same ones 💀
I bought reverse mocha replicas because I think it’s a nice shoe and I’m not paying 1700 usd for a god damned shoe 😂
I've gotten a ton a compliments on mine
The only opinion that matters about which sneaker you wear is your own, as long as you're honest.
Id buy real shoes if resellers dont make 100$ jordans to 500$ jordans
The only reason I’ve never bought replicas is because when I buy the real thing, it gives me a sense of achievement, and I don’t have to worry about the insecurities of having a replica and worrying about if something’s off. But I do hate the fact that resellers are holding shoes hostages by jacking up the price.
😂😂😂😂 they have you mate big time no1 care if ur shoes r authentic or not no1 give a crap its the same shoe no1 inspects ur shoe there are no massive tell sign of fake or real without having it side by side in ur hand walking down the street 600$ on ur feet vs 33$ and $577 still in ur pockets is a better achievements
@@musclemadnes nah look wise might not be a difference but quality is 100% different. I have a friend who buys DHgate fakes but they feel completely different.

not quite right.. nice try though
@@IO279K4RMN loool what ever helps you sleep at night mate
If you don't flex fakes its fine. I ain't spending 1k+ on shoes.
I think it's a mix between "not trying to get bullied for wearing cheap brands" and not being able to afford the expensive ones.
You can get the real brands without breaking the bank. I just bought brand new Pumas for 30 bucks at Ross. A few months ago I bought slightly used Air forces near perfect condition for 25 bucks at a flea market. So what if it's not a super limited edition sneaker that only whoever is famous wore.
Before you know it, reps are gonna take over, which it kind’ve feels like it already is, but reps are probably gonna get more expensive
The only real downsides are that if you don't know exactly what you're after, the appeal of cheap designer/fashionable clothes promotes buying a lot of clothes you don't need, aren't versatile, and will leave you pigeonholed in the typical r/fashionreps flashy style - very easy since those flashy but one note pieces are what's produced the most. Shop smart and versatile, know what style you want, and reps can be a useful tool
I completely disagree. I personally buy fakes because I can’t afford the real ones that I like. So you keep liking your reals and go broke.
THE GIRL SNIFFING THE SHOE THOUGH- 😅😭
I’m not spending like 2,000 for some shoes that at one point won’t fit me fakes save a lot of money and is the same thing
i say that people who wear reps shouldn’t be embarrassed and all that stuff but the people talking abt how and why u shouldn’t buy reps and stuff and saying that “ThEy DoNt ReTaIn ThErE vAlUe” they are the exact reason why people buy reps and they are ruining the sneaker community.
Maybe some people genuinely f wit da products but aint spending thousands on it
MOST people buy designer clothing and buy high-end items to over compensate their "normal" lives. It's all about public image to these people.
I personally buy things for the best comfort and value. Not about a specific brand or public status.
Fakes are a moral issue for me but I won’t fault anyone for wearing fakes because these huge corporations have a bunch of moral issues. I’d be a hypocrite to judge people for buying fakes.
Its crazy how much people wear reps now they say “its the same thing” but its not the quality is significantly worst and noticeable just work hard and save your money and buy the real deal instead of copping a fake pair ….
I don’t own fakes of anything, personally. But I have zero issues if someone else buys and rocks something that’s fake. Things are ridiculously expensive these days. The ONLY time I put my foot down and actually say something about others and fakes is under 2 situations. First, they try to sell them as authentic, and second, they actively advertise to others that it’s authentic. As long as they own up to it being a fake, then who cares. Let them be happy.
In life if you are a collector of anything art, coins,stamps and so on, you see someone with a fake it's not respected. Wear what you want. Buy what you want with your money but if you wear fakes you are a part of a whole different community...
Yeah exactly I feel like 2 whole groups are arguing for no reason; sneakheads who have a love and passion shoes and people who don’t care and just like the look of them. Ofc they’re gunna choose different choices
For sneakerhead and collectors. Buying fakes is a no no. But for normal people if given a choice to buy something much cheaper with the same function. They will gladly buy fakes.
if YOU buy reps you are a SMARTER individual than people who don’t as you know it’s possible to spend 10-20x less on the exact same product.
Spending thousands of dollars on a pair of sneakers is the definition of pretending to be something or someone you arent. Literally most actual rich people dont wear expensive clothes. its always the poor people wearing expensive clothes becuase they want to act like they're rich
No resellers are the problem now they are pannicking because the brands are pushing out more product so theres no longer scarcity of demand.
i'm way to poor to buy shoes over 150$ which is why i'll get fakes where no one can tell the difference and save 70$
It re-sellers didn’t F up the market we wouldn’t have to.
ALSO, ain’t no better feeling than messing up your sneakers on a night out and not having to worry about them because you can just buy another pair, that for me is worth every reason to buy reps
Bro had me deleting paragraphs in the beginning
even when im rich ill still b shopping at ross/marshalls/tj maxx for the deals and occasional treasure finds…its all about how much u save
You’re saving money ! 😂 stock X scammed yall for years
