This chan guy, is very well educated, very fluent in english, well mannered, and care for his customers (more than the original brand) which is makes me laugh and admire him in certain way
What I love about replicas is that I can actually wear them and appreciate them and not care so much if they get a little crease or dirt because I know I didn't pay 5k resale.
I like the fact that I can get them in the first place seeing as most hype kicks i would have to import living in Norway, as alot of stuff just never makes it here retail, and if it does in very very low numbers that will be baught by bots like no other.

@@jenshattas You could try his subreddit but it's been known for a while now that Chan is a joke. What type of shoes did you try to get? I would Try Boost Master Lin, OWF, Linda, Will, etc.
... this dude dropped med school to essentially make in a month what some doctors make in a year. Our world values money much more than legitimacy. Chan clearly realizes that and doesn't judge others on what they do. Can't help but respect him.
What you mean by fake? Didn't you watch the video? Both sneakers are made by the same people and same material. Just that Nike sells them at an outrageous price and in limited supplies!
Dude is genuinely a business man at the end of the day. I would rather buy a fake pair of shoes that are made in the same place, by the same manufactures, with the same materials and have few stitches be off, then to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a shoe i'd be too scared to even wear to MacDonald's.
Why are they considered "fakes" when it's the same materials and factory workers making these shoes? It's essentially the SAME shoes without the ridiculous price.
@Kidd Thunder Also as the guy in the video shows, they dont have the quality control that the brand does. Adidas can afford to throw away shoes that arent 'perfect', these counterfeiters make far less money, and thus cant afford to throw away flawed shoes.
@@__aceofspades Not exactly true. Adidas will just sell the imperfect shoes at outlet stores for a discounted price. So even with rejects, they'll try to maximize their profits.
They aren’t fakes, they are perfect replicas which expose the pathetic hype beasts and overpriced companies - I love how people act like they can tell the difference, you can’t. Don’t stunt.
They are definitely fakes, because the real deal doesn't have the piss poor quality control that these have. There are an army of people complaining about lackluster quality or even getting straight up scammed by chan. Don't just hear his side of the story
His shoes are made in china by the same people and with the same material. Just like buying a cup of coffee from star bucks for $5 that you can easily get for $1 from the gas station (same beans) its all marketing.
@@jayleno1259 except the normal materials are the same, but he's ok with substituting a material to get the price down. Except that his manufacturing process is much less precise which overall means much higher variance and much less quality control. Oh, and except for the fact that he's vary willing to sell you a poorly made pair of he can get away with it
Replicas made in China by the same people who make the authentic ones really define that it all comes down to marketing. People are buying replicas because they still want the "feeling" that comes with wearing a brand. Imagine what Chan or someone else in Chan's position could do if they had the money to market a new shoe brand in the market backed by the top athletes and celebrities. If Chan is able to produce the quality, he could do really well if he decided to create his own brand that was backed by some big names. It takes a ton of money to break into a market that is decades old, but if marketed correctly anything is possible.
It seems ok when the Chinese are ripping off huge brands. But imagine you're a small inventor who has just released your first product. A month later there are cut price Chinese knock offs of your product and there's nothing you can do about it. It kills your business and some asshole in China gets rich off your hardwork and innovation.
@@manditogon that's a fair point, brands like Supreme purposefully make limited stock to hike the price up, so I don't have much sympathy when they get ripped off. But most creators don't do that.
@@user-il9qo4qc4n They do it for a reason, and thats so people keep coming back and back trying to get something directly from them instead of buying resale. Look at Bape, they no longer have limited quantity drops for most of their items, and because of that less and less people wear it. Just 2 years ago it was huge, now no one really talks about it. Compared to Supreme and Off-white which are extremely popular
@@marcwy no shit dude, i have been buying reps for almost 3 years now, and I was in repsneakers before it got huge, back when most reps were shit and costed retail prices, but now you can get almost 1:1 ultraboosts for less than 300 yuan
Dude is right. It’s a win win win situation. You may think otherwise on first look, but this is easily free advertising for the brand owners. Sure, people will buy fakes and might lose sales, but they also bring attention to the brand. Attention is what makes a business, I won’t be even surprised if these brand owners are funding some of these replica manufacturers
Most people who buy the fakes would never have bought the real thing, so the brands are not losing bussiness. Chan is rights: fakes are advertisement for the brands. If the brands were really bothered by his bussiness they would move production to another country, possibly even back to the USA or to Germany. Everyone knows that the same Chinese factories that make brands during the day make fakes in the evening.
domingowilfredjuan “so Chan how did you get in the sneaker game,I see you’re wearing some off white converse, do you consider yourself as a big sneaker head?”
*Running shoes and bags directly from factories* *Low price, the best quality* *Free worldwide shipping in 3 to 9 days* *Subscribe not to miss all-new* *products (Instagram)* @looky.like
As much money these shoes cost now I’m glad ppl are making replicas. As somebody who loves sneakers I can’t really afford them like I used to because I have kids and a mortgage. So I would definitely buy these
It's not that simple to be honest. They may be made in China as well, but there are a well defined production line and quality standards to be followed, while knock offs are stitched by some random dudes in a basement. I'm not a sneakerhead myself, yet I managed to spot fakes dozens of times
A year ago I ordered fake Nikes, they arrived and I was extremely impressed. Even though the site posed as a real seller, everybody could tell it was a fake. So I wondered how can some tiny company, reselling via Hongkong, make such original looking and feeling shoes. So I had an open and friendly email exchange with the guy on the other end, he was happy I liked them, usually he'd get angry mail from folks who "wondered" whether they had bought fake shoes because of how the site looked. Turns out he gets the reject parts *from the actual Nike factory* in because they pose as recyclers. Fucking amazing, same shoes, different price.
In my opinion, buying fake really isn't that bad. If your willing to wear fakes than that your choice. The only thing I don't like is when people buy fakes and try to sell them as real.
Definitely northern Irish accent but I can see where yous think. I'm Scottish and I even thought it was Scottish at first. Subtle differences. I think we sound the same but NI people tend to say their words longer were as we emphasize the same but more to the point and shorter.
I've never bought fake shoes but now I'm confused. Made by the same people with the same materials. How can a consumer really say it's "fake"? If you like what it looks like, the shoe is the shoe. What do you care if Nike gets the money or not? They don't care about you.
Shrimp God nope, if you use the same quality materials, you can sell for way less. You think the $500 price tag is due to quality materials? No LOL it’s due to brand image and hype. I had some fake yeezys and they were perfect except the boost wasn’t as soft
Not true. The materials can be very similar and still be cheaply bought. It costs NIKE almost nothing to produce a shoe. And its not just NIKE , any shoe you buy from a store is cheap to make for the manufacturer. Why do you think chinese workers are paid so little?
Jalen Davis it’s not made by the same people and not exactly the same materials hey just create molds some use different materials for every part some get from the same suppliers , china is a factory not a warehouse so raw materials is key here, I will be visit many sneaker markets and factories with and for clients next week. instagram.com/factory4hire also I will be going live
....but the only reason you want them is because the real ones cost alot. There's no actual benefit to wearing stuff that looks expensive. Logically it amazes me that people think this way. Just liberated enough to know that spending alot of money is dumb, but still dumb enough to think Yeezys or whatever are better than Nikes. People that buy fake shit are just sociopaths. A pair of amazing Nikes for 150$ isnt good enough, you want a fake pair of limited shoes for 150$ LOL. Dude cmon, do you also drive a fake Ferrari kit car?
I bet the production cost of those branded shoes is as cheap as the fake one. Not to mention branded goods were often made by cheap slave-labours in third world countries, it is a well known fact. Most of the time fake branded-goods manufacturers are a lot better and more honest.
DabTime fakes have the same material same everything except one is made by the actual company and the other sold by some guy honestly if you want shoes that bad it’s smarter to just but some cheap shoes that are the exact same
I've never worn fake brands in my life but now that i'm old enough i now understand that wearing original brands and buying them in a high price is just you clowning yourself. I respect Chan's hustle. What's his website though?
Looks like I’m your lord and savior, check out Brady’s channel and go to his discord in his video description. It has lists of verified sellers/middlemen people use for reps and a support channel from the first step to the last. ua-cam.com/channels/K-ZsB9FwbL1QBSntyzG1xg.html
The person losing is the bloke that paid resell price for a pair of Jordans, and found out that the middle man ripped him off by passing one of chan's shoes as deadstock.
True: the vast majority of Nikes, Pumas, Adidas etc are made by independent factories under contract. Often, these factories or a handful of people in then make some "extra" shoes over and above what they are contracted for, then send them to unofficial distribution channels. Legally, the shoes are "fake", but they are literally technically identical to the real deal. Almost as real, some factories bribe people in winning factories to send spec sheets: these are detailed technical drawings, materials needs and at times recommended manufacturing techniques. As long as you can source the materials (tricky but not impossible with Adidas Boost material), you can make a near perfect replica, much more accurate than reverse engineering the shoe.
if you had a factory that could make 1000 pair a day but nike only wanted 800 pair a day you would run the extra 200 and sell them out the backdoor. this has been done for ages. You also sell the ones that dont quite make the nike quality standard instead of destroy them. You also might know cheaper shortcut that nike would not accept but that doesn't affect the look of the product so you do the shortcut and sell those too.
Thats because sellers swap items out and say theyre real. They find cheapo look alikes most people dont notice but it can ruin a companys image because people think they got the real thing
Of course they are. Hes manufacturing a product meant to be an exact replica of another product. It's not like people are paying pennies for them, they want their moneys worth.
@amoroso586 and what exactly makes them fake? Made with the same material same employee, there is no difference other than who's pocket the money ends up 🙄🤔
"I've spoken to some of our customers some of them are high school students some are college students university students." Chan told us. WATCH Next on China's handbag mogul HERE: bit.ly/2Mu8OPR
better off using other store links, Gavagai. Chan scammed a bunch of his customers a few months ago.. hundreds of orders then just left with the money.
You don't make any sense. There's a price tag on brands for a reason, beside quality, you also rock the brand's name. Right now I'm scared to buy a Gucci belt in Romania because there's so many fakes out there.
Chan seems like a wholesome guy :) I was looking forward to this episode. He's right, the Reddit community is savage at times, but overall I think it leads to higher quality.
thsis guy is a legend, all those shoes are soooo overpriced, i dont feel sorry one bit for the brands losing customers to replicas, sneakers costing 1500 dollars or more is just absurd and siply put arrogant
space raider, your just bitter that you can't afford the $1500 originals. I can't afford them ether to buy but, that is there business and that is what keeps them in business and employ people. Who died and made you now expert on what something should cost. If something is limited the price goes up. I just go on Amazon and buy me some ordinary sneakers for less then $100 and i'm good. You should just do the same and stop being bitter.
just dont buy em when you think they are not worth it ?!?! I dont go out, install a bodykit on my Honda to make it look like a ferrari because "ferrari are sooooooooo overpriced"
just because they are 'investing' doesnt mean they are getting a quality product. most of these shoes are not ergonomic, functional, or even viable for sport. their designs are so overblown that only people brainwashed by capitalism would even want them.
Virgil suing people for copying is the biggest joke and hypocrisy ever. This guy is shameless. His own business is built on copying Helmut Lang, Raf Simons and others. No wonder he said he loves fakes.
On his behalf after time has passed he is correct. You're working and building on your behalf with Nike to release product to the public, only for it to be over saturated, copied, and someone else makes money on your work. Cmon man!!!
it's not necessarily his belief, cuz after all he got a company to run and investors to satisfy. Those decisions could be made by the law and finance department instead of the designer
honestly bro i’m broke as hell and i’m just trying to have some nice looking kicks on my feet. if that means getting knockoff jordan’s because i don’t want to pay 200 just because i like the look of the shoe, then i’m getting those knockoffs in a heartbeat.
Malicous B lol you’re dumb those workers still get paid since nike adidas etc. still make a ton of money from people like you who think there’s some magic in the real shoes and what will some billionaires care for a couple hundred dollars missing? If anything the big businesses treat their workers poorly with them working hours for a couple of dollars people if you want shoes that bad just buy some fake pairs cheaper the same stuff
@Malicous B workers get 2 dollars an hour and i should think about the company??? Good joke i want them to make so many replica s that the company makes actual good quality so they cant replicate it
@@michaelcastro9932 Chinas labor laws has absolutely nothing to do businesses other than the fact that businesses exploit it, if you owned Lamborghini and someone was selling fakes and everyone bought the fake Lamborghinis then youd go out of business, then your employees will go out of business but I guarantee all those factory workers building the shit will get bought by another company and it's just a cycle.
"Rejects" can still be sold to other countries who likes and patronize cheaper ones. In the Philippines alone, there's a lot of counterfeit replica shoes branded as Class A, B, C, D. It sell from cheapest to much higher depending on its classes.
Nah, the reseller don't get the money. Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Off-white, etc. sells out 100% of the shoes he's making. When it comes to after market I think of it like this... one guy is putting in the work to make a 85-99% accurate shoe to sell around (or usually below) retail while another buys 20-50 real pairs to "hold" until the price goes up due to scarcity.
I never understood why they call it fake sneakers .... china makes the real stuff. Then they sell the blueprint under the table and other factories make the same exact thing. Maybe less quality but essentially the same thing. If you buy a really good knock off then the quality will almost be identical.... how does that make it fake? Because it’s not authorized? Lol. Just another ploy to sell the same item to you but 3-5 times more expensive.
@Walker Worthless lol keep falling for the predatory capitalism of the fashion industry. you're keeping those fashion designers and execs nice and rich.
A lot of asain knock off shoe sellers in my experience position the shoes that they are selling as the real deal. And when the customer gets them, there are often obvious discrepancies in the quality and ease of use in the shoe. I used to work for a credit card company and we got a lot of calls from people trying to dispute knock off shoes that were being peddled as the real deal. Im not sure if this guy here tells his buyers they are fake, but a lot of them dont. And it isnt just "fashion" shoes, but shoes with a purpose like running shoes where you expect them to have a particular quality, for a good run.
@@austinwinters3281 that's a load of shit. Of course all knock offs will not be of the same caliber. The points original poster is trying to make is a thought experiment. If everything is the same, and there are Chinese manufacturers that can fake something so well it looks like the real deal. Counterfeiting has been a trade for most of human history. The point is, if there is a fake that is indistinguishable from the real thing what makes it different. Look up the menthol10s and look at their quality, it's not hard to imagine that many replicas have gone under the radar ever since 2008. Op don't care about the fakes that aren't true replications, op only cares about a replica that is so good it's indistinguishable from the original. Why would it then just not be the original?
Unfortunately this is close to the truth. Shadow operations are typically a stone's throw away from the real operation. Suppliers know to do multiple drops.
Its pretty funny that most of these high quality replicas are made from the same material as the originals. You can sue one company in China, but 100 more will pop up. 🤣🤣
Thats true. But also as someone previously said, these replicas are also made by people that work for the official company. They take extra shifts so they can make more money because they get paid like shit. And that's also a fact that I can confirm because I know several people that have these side jobs..
To be honest, living in both China and United States back and forth for 10 years, I have never seen even one pair of fake shoes that close enough to the originals. They do get recognized as fake instanly by "hype beasts". They all claimed they are from the same factory with same material blah, blah, blah, but those were just lies to increase sale volumes.
It's funny how they say it's made from the same materials as the real ones yet the quality of the fake ones aren't the best. They are not as comfortable nor do they last as long.
We need more people like him! To put a dent in Nike and Adidas. Maybe finally Nike and Adidas will wake up and start selling their sneakers at a reasonable price, and they can stop with the limited supply BS!
If someone else can make the exact same shoe for a tenth of the same price, then how can you morally justify the originals? It makes people that buy original shoes look really dumb.
@@stopit9280 there are people who like kanyes thinking behind designing yeezys and the name. I didnt even know this at first but yeezy is the old translation of jesus. Something like yeezus or yesuf which makes sense cause kanye is pretty religious and spiritual.
jus make sure you invest in some actual quality insoles so you dont kill your arches...i feel you tho on grabbng some replicas to jus workout or run in
Shoes should be cheap anyways , the big brands are scamming us all , this helps the little guys who can't afford the real thing plus they don't look that bad
who says shoes should be cheap? shoes are very hard to manufacture and take a lot of research and development to design. you can look good and wear less expensive sneakers such as vans and converse and not support some of the shady business tactics that come with fake sneakers.
branding, marketing and advertising are not cheap... employees of these big companies risk losing their jobs because of counterfeit market... no one is really forcing anybody to buy expensive, top of the line designer shoes.. if having a footwear to protect your feet is your purpose, then any decent shoe will fit... Walmart has hundreds of them
It's not like big brands are losing customers like me, anyway. I wouldn't care if they were knockoffs or good quality originals from a small or new unknown brand. Comfort is top priority, then style (specifically colours colours colours - I fucking love colourful clothing, but shoes in multicoloured styles tend to be quite expensive - $100+). If I like 2 similar pairs that are both comfy, I don't care if one pair is LE Nike and the other brand is completely unknown. I'll buy the cheaper pair. People who really, truly care about brands, and would love to spend $500+ on some collectable LE shoes, are more likely than not teens or young adults without that kind of money to spend, anyway. Adults with real jobs and any amount of maturity, whatsoever, aren't willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of shoes, (unless they're reselling). It's just ridiculous. So no, big brands aren't losing tons of money to knockoff manufacturers. In fact, those brands make most of their money off of cheaper pairs sold in brick & mortars that they mass produce. However, more choice to consumers is always a better thing, as it brings in healthy competition and price wars.
I really don't get how replica hurts the brand when the genuine one sells out in minutes. It's not like people are not buying genuine ones because of the fake.
@Paul Smith that doesn’t make sense, if the fakes are low quality it will be because they’re fakes not Nike. Besides if everyone is wearing Nike shoes fake or real, it increases brand awareness
@Paul Smith I just saw a video by Harrison nevel where he brought the fake offwhite Michigan State SB dunk and real pairs to the store and some of them even said that the fakes had a better quality.
@Paul Smith if you buy it from a good dealer you will find shoe models which are better in quality than the real ones. Especially the Nike shoes who are not limited edition because most nike shoes are mass produced on the other hand the replica of these models are not.
@Paul Smith so true man, I bought a pair of 'waverunner' replica 3 years ago for 50 bucks and it's still going strong no tears or problems whatsoever. One more positive being that I don't need to baby them. I just got an another pair of sb dunks for 50 bucks and those are just good as the original.

@@__aceofspades Not exactly true. Adidas will just sell the imperfect shoes at outlet stores for a discounted price. So even with rejects, they'll try to maximize their profits.

They aren’t fakes, they are perfect replicas which expose the pathetic hype beasts and overpriced companies - I love how people act like they can tell the difference, you can’t. Don’t stunt.
They are definitely fakes, because the real deal doesn't have the piss poor quality control that these have. There are an army of people complaining about lackluster quality or even getting straight up scammed by chan. Don't just hear his side of the story
His shoes are made in china by the same people and with the same material. Just like buying a cup of coffee from star bucks for $5 that you can easily get for $1 from the gas station (same beans) its all marketing.
@@jayleno1259 except the normal materials are the same, but he's ok with substituting a material to get the price down.

@@markyacono9602 Bet again. If he's making money like that you can guarantee they're happy.
Replicas made in China by the same people who make the authentic ones really define that it all comes down to marketing. People are buying replicas because they still want the "feeling" that comes with wearing a brand. Imagine what Chan or someone else in Chan's position could do if they had the money to market a new shoe brand in the market backed by the top athletes and celebrities. If Chan is able to produce the quality, he could do really well if he decided to create his own brand that was backed by some big names. It takes a ton of money to break into a market that is decades old, but if marketed correctly anything is possible.

A month later there are cut price Chinese knock offs of your product and there's nothing you can do about it. It kills your business and some asshole in China gets rich off your hardwork and innovation.

@@manditogon that's a fair point, brands like Supreme purposefully make limited stock to hike the price up, so I don't have much sympathy when they get ripped off. But most creators don't do that.

Dude is right. It’s a win win win situation. You may think otherwise on first look, but this is easily free advertising for the brand owners. Sure, people will buy fakes and might lose sales, but they also bring attention to the brand. Attention is what makes a business, I won’t be even surprised if these brand owners are funding some of these replica manufacturers
Most people who buy the fakes would never have bought the real thing, so the brands are not losing bussiness.
Chan is rights: fakes are advertisement for the brands.
If the brands were really bothered by his bussiness they would move production to another country, possibly even back to the USA or to Germany. Everyone knows that the same Chinese factories that make brands during the day make fakes in the evening.

The fakes are made in China
Same materials, different distribution channel.
It's not that simple to be honest. They may be made in China as well, but there are a well defined production line and quality standards to be followed, while knock offs are stitched by some random dudes in a basement. I'm not a sneakerhead myself, yet I managed to spot fakes dozens of times

NIKES used to last me 2yrs not a mark on them now 6 weeks fall apart thats 150 euros robbery
nah if u know whats good reals from jpn
A year ago I ordered fake Nikes, they arrived and I was extremely impressed. Even though the site posed as a real seller, everybody could tell it was a fake. So I wondered how can some tiny company, reselling via Hongkong, make such original looking and feeling shoes. So I had an open and friendly email exchange with the guy on the other end, he was happy I liked them, usually he'd get angry mail from folks who "wondered" whether they had bought fake shoes because of how the site looked. Turns out he gets the reject parts *from the actual Nike factory* in because they pose as recyclers. Fucking amazing, same shoes, different price.
In my opinion, buying fake really isn't that bad. If your willing to wear fakes than that your choice. The only thing I don't like is when people buy fakes and try to sell them as real.
Exactly. As long as they don't hide the fact they're fakes, I don't mind.

I've never bought fake shoes but now I'm confused. Made by the same people with the same materials. How can a consumer really say it's "fake"? If you like what it looks like, the shoe is the shoe. What do you care if Nike gets the money or not? They don't care about you.
Because it's called proprietary ownership.
Shrimp God nope, if you use the same quality materials, you can sell for way less. You think the $500 price tag is due to quality materials? No LOL it’s due to brand image and hype. I had some fake yeezys and they were perfect except the boost wasn’t as soft
Not true. The materials can be very similar and still be cheaply bought. It costs NIKE almost nothing to produce a shoe. And its not just NIKE , any shoe you buy from a store is cheap to make for the manufacturer. Why do you think chinese workers are paid so little?
Jalen Davis it’s not made by the same people and not exactly the same materials hey just create molds some use different materials for every part some get from the same suppliers , china is a factory not a warehouse so raw materials is key here, I will be visit many sneaker markets and factories with and for clients next week. instagram.com/factory4hire also I will be going live

Chan you are the fckn man. Thank you for making these ridiculously over priced shoes affordable for humans.
I thought that's what y'all are crying for, its better than Venezuelan socialism huh
....but the only reason you want them is because the real ones cost alot. There's no actual benefit to wearing stuff that looks expensive. Logically it amazes me that people think this way. Just liberated enough to know that spending alot of money is dumb, but still dumb enough to think Yeezys or whatever are better than Nikes. People that buy fake shit are just sociopaths. A pair of amazing Nikes for 150$ isnt good enough, you want a fake pair of limited shoes for 150$ LOL. Dude cmon, do you also drive a fake Ferrari kit car?
Yea it’s true we shouldn’t be spending hundreds on shoes
I bet the production cost of those branded shoes is as cheap as the fake one. Not to mention branded goods were often made by cheap slave-labours in third world countries, it is a well known fact. Most of the time fake branded-goods manufacturers are a lot better and more honest.
DabTime fakes have the same material same everything except one is made by the actual company and the other sold by some guy honestly if you want shoes that bad it’s smarter to just but some cheap shoes that are the exact same

The fakes are made from the same materials by the same workers at the same factory as the real ones lol :D
Caught my ear to!
Not the converses, they're having trouble finding the see trough material
True: the vast majority of Nikes, Pumas, Adidas etc are made by independent factories under contract. Often, these factories or a handful of people in then make some "extra" shoes over and above what they are contracted for, then send them to unofficial distribution channels. Legally, the shoes are "fake", but they are literally technically identical to the real deal. Almost as real, some factories bribe people in winning factories to send spec sheets: these are detailed technical drawings, materials needs and at times recommended manufacturing techniques. As long as you can source the materials (tricky but not impossible with Adidas Boost material), you can make a near perfect replica, much more accurate than reverse engineering the shoe.
Not boost
if you had a factory that could make 1000 pair a day but nike only wanted 800 pair a day you would run the extra 200 and sell them out the backdoor. this has been done for ages. You also sell the ones that dont quite make the nike quality standard instead of destroy them. You also might know cheaper shortcut that nike would not accept but that doesn't affect the look of the product so you do the shortcut and sell those too.
Chan should be commended. He is providing a service that's affordable to working class people throughout the world
you know what's funny with this video? "customers expecting perfection from fake products" lmao
sedna16 and then they get it
Thats because sellers swap items out and say theyre real. They find cheapo look alikes most people dont notice but it can ruin a companys image because people think they got the real thing
Of course they are. Hes manufacturing a product meant to be an exact replica of another product. It's not like people are paying pennies for them, they want their moneys worth.
@amoroso586 and what exactly makes them fake? Made with the same material same employee, there is no difference other than who's pocket the money ends up 🙄🤔

Frasereder236 True which is why I would never pay more than $80 US dollars for any kind of shoes.
just because they are 'investing' doesnt mean they are getting a quality product. most of these shoes are not ergonomic, functional, or even viable for sport. their designs are so overblown that only people brainwashed by capitalism would even want them.

Virgil suing people for copying is the biggest joke and hypocrisy ever. This guy is shameless. His own business is built on copying Helmut Lang, Raf Simons and others. No wonder he said he loves fakes.

it's not necessarily his belief, cuz after all he got a company to run and investors to satisfy. Those decisions could be made by the law and finance department instead of the designer

Nah, the reseller don't get the money. Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Off-white, etc. sells out 100% of the shoes he's making.

Maybe less quality but essentially the same thing. If you buy a really good knock off then the quality will almost be identical.... how does that make it fake? Because it’s not authorized? Lol. Just another ploy to sell the same item to you but 3-5 times more expensive.
You really had to talk yourself into that one
@Walker Worthless lol keep falling for the predatory capitalism of the fashion industry. you're keeping those fashion designers and execs nice and rich.
The knock offs don't use the same material, especially if the original is leather. Most use cheap glue so your shoes will actually fall apart.
A lot of asain knock off shoe sellers in my experience position the shoes that they are selling as the real deal. And when the customer gets them, there are often obvious discrepancies in the quality and ease of use in the shoe. I used to work for a credit card company and we got a lot of calls from people trying to dispute knock off shoes that were being peddled as the real deal. Im not sure if this guy here tells his buyers they are fake, but a lot of them dont. And it isnt just "fashion" shoes, but shoes with a purpose like running shoes where you expect them to have a particular quality, for a good run.
@@austinwinters3281 that's a load of shit. Of course all knock offs will not be of the same caliber. The points original poster is trying to make is a thought experiment.
If everything is the same, and there are Chinese manufacturers that can fake something so well it looks like the real deal. Counterfeiting has been a trade for most of human history.
The point is, if there is a fake that is indistinguishable from the real thing what makes it different. Look up the menthol10s and look at their quality, it's not hard to imagine that many replicas have gone under the radar ever since 2008.
Op don't care about the fakes that aren't true replications, op only cares about a replica that is so good it's indistinguishable from the original. Why would it then just not be the original?

Its pretty funny that most of these high quality replicas are made from the same material as the originals. You can sue one company in China, but 100 more will pop up. 🤣🤣
Or even the same factory in different shifts.
Fake or not really depends on whether it's from official channel
Thats true. But also as someone previously said, these replicas are also made by people that work for the official company. They take extra shifts so they can make more money because they get paid like shit. And that's also a fact that I can confirm because I know several people that have these side jobs..
To be honest, living in both China and United States back and forth for 10 years, I have never seen even one pair of fake shoes that close enough to the originals. They do get recognized as fake instanly by "hype beasts".
They all claimed they are from the same factory with same material blah, blah, blah, but those were just lies to increase sale volumes.
It's funny how they say it's made from the same materials as the real ones yet the quality of the fake ones aren't the best. They are not as comfortable nor do they last as long.

blue tonik 🤣🤣
i support replica industry if they presenting themselves as replica & not original. chan is a humble guy.
He speaks with a northern Irish ascent
Scottish
Yeah. With all the input, one could find this individual fairly easy.
Defiantly Scottish when he says originally you can tell
don mcateer do love a Scot 🏴
4:09 "being made" sounded pretty NI to me
This man went to medical school in northern Ireland. You can hear it in him lol
I was wondering was i picking up that. He absolutely does have a northern accent.
So his degree will be a counterfeit just like his shoes?
Conan Byrne He made a lot of photos in Ireland, with his mask on. Thieves.
If someone else can make the exact same shoe for a tenth of the same price, then how can you morally justify the originals? It makes people that buy original shoes look really dumb.
If you want to have a look at what you can get @yeezyfellas on Instagram for a full album
because it's more than just a shoe. most shoes have stories behind them and not only that it's also about creative design.
And it's the same materials from the same suppliers in the same city in China as Nike.
Cali God Almost as unsatisfying as blowing thousands on a couple of pairs of kicks
Cali God I agree with you. If you can’t afford to buy a real pair just don’t buy it. Simply as that.
Man was ahead of the time and was preparing for the pandemic before it even started.
So same material ,same workers(sometimes) made in the same place (city) 😂
stolen design. Nike and Adidas designed them. It Is more than just a random ass shoe. most of them have meanings and stories.
@@ethanc.6860 nobody cares.. but the cost😄
@@legocitybatmansetlifestyle7761 a lot of people care actually. Because most people care about the story behind yeezy and ajs
@@brianmolina2615 yeah....no
@@stopit9280 there are people who like kanyes thinking behind designing yeezys and the name. I didnt even know this at first but yeezy is the old translation of jesus. Something like yeezus or yesuf which makes sense cause kanye is pretty religious and spiritual.
who else wants to hit this guy up for some shoes? lol
TheGamingCaptain101 fr im gonna cop some fake yeezys to run in
He’s on Reddit 😂
BROKE ASS
jus make sure you invest in some actual quality insoles so you dont kill your arches...i feel you tho on grabbng some replicas to jus workout or run in

Shoes should be cheap anyways , the big brands are scamming us all , this helps the little guys who can't afford the real thing plus they don't look that bad
💯💯💯
who says shoes should be cheap? shoes are very hard to manufacture and take a lot of research and development to design. you can look good and wear less expensive sneakers such as vans and converse and not support some of the shady business tactics that come with fake sneakers.
branding, marketing and advertising are not cheap... employees of these big companies risk losing their jobs because of counterfeit market... no one is really forcing anybody to buy expensive, top of the line designer shoes.. if having a footwear to protect your feet is your purpose, then any decent shoe will fit... Walmart has hundreds of them
It's not like big brands are losing customers like me, anyway. I wouldn't care if they were knockoffs or good quality originals from a small or new unknown brand. Comfort is top priority, then style (specifically colours colours colours - I fucking love colourful clothing, but shoes in multicoloured styles tend to be quite expensive - $100+). If I like 2 similar pairs that are both comfy, I don't care if one pair is LE Nike and the other brand is completely unknown. I'll buy the cheaper pair.
People who really, truly care about brands, and would love to spend $500+ on some collectable LE shoes, are more likely than not teens or young adults without that kind of money to spend, anyway. Adults with real jobs and any amount of maturity, whatsoever, aren't willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of shoes, (unless they're reselling). It's just ridiculous.
So no, big brands aren't losing tons of money to knockoff manufacturers. In fact, those brands make most of their money off of cheaper pairs sold in brick & mortars that they mass produce. However, more choice to consumers is always a better thing, as it brings in healthy competition and price wars.
They wouldnt look bad otherwise anyway. They just want to be socially accepted/standout for having those type of material possesion
Just happy to see my man Gerald from Hey Arnold making a name for himself in journalism industry:)
🤣🤣🤣
I really don't get how replica hurts the brand when the genuine one sells out in minutes. It's not like people are not buying genuine ones because of the fake.
It results in dilution of brand over a long term. Secondly they are losing big Rev share on licensing , just like pirated software
@Paul Smith that doesn’t make sense, if the fakes are low quality it will be because they’re fakes not Nike. Besides if everyone is wearing Nike shoes fake or real, it increases brand awareness
@Paul Smith I just saw a video by Harrison nevel where he brought the fake offwhite Michigan State SB dunk and real pairs to the store and some of them even said that the fakes had a better quality.
@Paul Smith if you buy it from a good dealer you will find shoe models which are better in quality than the real ones. Especially the Nike shoes who are not limited edition because most nike shoes are mass produced on the other hand the replica of these models are not.
@Paul Smith so true man, I bought a pair of 'waverunner' replica 3 years ago for 50 bucks and it's still going strong no tears or problems whatsoever. One more positive being that I don't need to baby them. I just got an another pair of sb dunks for 50 bucks and those are just good as the original.
