It’s always okay to wear UAs, but don’t try to sell them like they are real
Agreed
Totally agreed.. sound crazy but I believe authorized and UA are pretty much the same shoe and I bet anything that if Nike grab a pair of UA sneakers and say here are your Jordans, people will die saying this are authentic
Exactly. That’s the issue. People passing them off as authentic and reselling them as such.
They’re real, the fact that Nike QA didn’t stamp
It doesn’t say it ain’t real . And the lady was not backdooring to her son. He violated the credit card spending permission she gave him. The word fake is all in the head and Nike knows it. Nike has already said they can’t even tell the difference. MK got the shoe game and shoe tubers in their feelings big time. It’s so much folks could be talking about and coming up with their own material for their channel but today it’s all copy cat culture. Now foot locker invested in resell. I told my cousin this was coming years ago and hear we are.
@@unboxedla6013 and I can guaranteed that more and more people will preferred UA’s when they get tired buying resale
Remember, at this point, nobody knows its a UA unless you tell them
Facts
As long as you don't lie about it or sell it as it is retail, then its more than ok to wear Reps...
Unless you bought a terrible pair that’s way off
@@poohshiesty5624 Just need to do small research to find good source....Also you can ask the seller for pictures for QC.
Yap unless they hold the shoe in their hand and do a legit check.that only thing is scary is when some reseller will sell them a retail pair
Take it from someone who has been working in the sneaker community for some years now. UA’s are made by the same companies that are making the real pairs. They are using the same shoe molds to make the fakes that they use to make the real. The only reason they’re called UA’s because they are using the real company’s shoe molds with out their authorization.
I figured because someone in their basement don’t have that type of technology and equipment just siting around n know how
Thank you maybe they'll read your comment slowly.
@@truthseeker5863 people literally make Jordans from scratch in their basements in America for UA-cam videos. It doesn't take new technology to do, it only takes the technology to mass produce them
@@truthseeker5863 they have the technology nike don't own shit over there most of the time they'll over produce a shoe the qc person might strap those pair or tell them to burn or trash them and they sell them to resellers or people who own factories. Look at the Travis Scott fragment those pictures wasn't linked by nike every big factory in China has the final sample and materials.
Well said very well said 💯
Botters/resellers ruin the sneaker game more than UAs because they’re exploiting our love for sneakers for money it kills the culture
Facts...
Yeah man it’s crazy
Brah they get mad I sell a shoe for 255 and the resell is 800 and they say mine fake it's crazy lol
Nicky Diamonds was FSR the other day and he said he was mad people were selling the OG tiffany dunk at like... 250 resell..
Agreed 💯
I only trust Geveroti
It's UA's that look better then the Authentic pairs smh. At the end of the day, we need to stop showing loyalty to brands that doesn't show loyalty to us aka (the consumers). If I can't get a shoe I want retail then I'm getting them across the water myself.
Facts ! The UA'S 90% or higher close to retail.. im buying !!
Exactly
That's what I'm saying you hit on a retail pair get it and it has something really off on it. like the toe box doesn't match one shoe is taller then the other the color isn't a complete match between the two. Now your pair got "authenticator's" calling it fake because of it.

@@iharris3466 what are some good places to get Ua sneakers
Real and UAs are the same damn sneakers. Both come from China. The Chinese are making extra money on the side by making more of the sneakers. That’s why Nike is trying to go after these UA resellers.
Realest comment award 🏆💯 that's exactly what it is
The hardworking shoemakers gotta eat too 💲
Truth
Thats why I'm like there is no real way to authenticate a shoe outside of have a order of confirmation email and order number or an in hand receipt.
The reason I say this because *There is no such thing as a perfect retail pair/pairs.* If a retail pair can come right from nike and it looks off something looking funny on it and Authenticator deems it fake because of it. *HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU SEPARATE REAL FROM FAKE?*
@@PR3M3 big faxxxx
Salute to the shoemakers. Nike wrong for fueling this BS with limited drops and allowing bots to buy 100-300 pairs to resell.
I ain’t never seen this many “sneaker head “ you tubers talk about UA shoes in my life... MK the truth done changed the community lol
Bro I’m saying. MK be speaking real facts tho bro
@@Mrkiddballer15 once I seen “ hold or sell” or “ resell prediction” videos I knew the game was fucked up lol.. niggas can’t just buy shoes and be happy it gotta be a whole stock situation

MK got the sneaker community on they toes..everybody talking bout UA now..lol
Agree 100%
Damn, u are right he brought it up first.
St8 that guy is the truth ......Salute Mk 💪🏾
Same thing I thought lol.
That man is the truth frfr
at the end of the day when UA's are on foot aint nobody gunna be hitting them with a blacklight to see if their real or not
fr tho 😭😭
Right
Even then most UA don’t even have any marks or stitching issues visible under black light 🥴 most of the time u can only tell from the under insole stitching and ain’t nobody finna ask you to remove the insole
some UA Passed the black light test lmaoo
@Michael Romero UAs are now passing that test anyway bro these Chinese people way too advanced bruh they make all the damn shoes anyway lol
Had UA version of these University Blues for 2 months now. It's not 2005 anymore. UA is THE SAME SH$T! No one can tell the difference on foot. Heck, most can't tell the difference if they had both versions in hand. If nike doesn't want my money, guess who does... At the end of the day, I will rock the shoes that I want one way or the other. Oh, and go check out my review on my pair.
I agree. All the shoes are hand made with the assistant of machine. If you take two retail pair and compare them. They will be slightly different.
Where do I get the ua pairs from? 😂😂😂

The sad part is the UA UNC 1s had way better QC than retail

I can care less what individuals do with their money, wear what you like, and buy what you like. Just don't tryna put a front and scamming someone. That's all
Facts I’m with you bro
I got a lot of retail shoes I still buy retail (can’t wait on red flints and cool greys) but some shoes I really wanted I’m not paying 1500 for so I went UA. NOT THAT I CANT AFFORD IT I just got more important stuff in my life
Soooooooooo was the ua hold up against the retailer
Cuz u a hype beast
Even if you not being able to afford it was the case, you was living within ya means and that's the smart way to do thangs
@@la-tronholston3847 I think it's hard to even tell that because when you buy resale at that price you ain't wearing them like that. When you get the UA's I'm sure they will be well worn.
@@la-tronholston3847 depends on who you buy from.
The other problem with resell is that some of the “resellers” got their shoes across the waters and they sold it for resell price and now theres people rocking fakes that think they’re real and even paid resale for it, sad man
Sad things is they're the same thing so that's kind of irrelevant

Also, think about those UA-camrs who keeps getting pair way before the release date from what they called plug, aren't those plugs supposed to be thieves because they're selling those shoes without the manufacturers consent...🤔

@@SolePurpose Yup... It is... Not saying it's you, but I guess a lot of UA-camrs out there prefer to support their plugs (thieves)... 😬
I've seen UA's that were made better than the retail pairs and that's just cold hard facts. Anybody that is worried about what another grown man has on his feet has some serious issues he's dealing with.
Bro facts I got a pair of Dead stock mochas for free that are UA’s and they are made better then an actual retail pair imo
What site ?
I will never pay resell when I can get them UA for 150$ or even less depending on which UA seller I’m buying from because at the end of the day it’s your money never let nobody tell you how to spend your money most of y’all are followers and think rocking UAs are bad because the next person says it is when it’s not mane it’s a lot of big time sneaker UA-camrs reviewing and rocking UA on the low just watch soon UA gone take over because of the scalpers and resellers real shit

Cop for retail or move onto the next release. Not giving any of these resellers any bread. No shoe is worth paying resell.
Respect sir. Regardless of how anyone feels about retail vs UA. At the end of the day, they are just shoes. A lot of people talk about pocket watching, but quick to call someone broke for not wanting to pay resell. You, and others with platforms have a lot of influence. It's dope to see you tell the truth, that's it's some people's preference. That's an important lesson for the younger generation that is more easily influenced by what you and other UA-camrs have to say. At the end if the day, it ain't my business what you wear, how much you spent or where you shop. I do not care about what the next man has or wears. I'm too busy looking at women. Life is too short and I spend more time living my life. It would do good for a lot of other people out here. We not in high school. Mind your business and keep it pushing.
W comment life is way too short to waste ur time telling sum1 "to get their money up" when the person sayin that shit is staying broke
I wear tf outta my UAs i rarely buy retail shoes anymore 🤷🏾♂️

How and where do you buy UA sneakers
People can wear what even they want, however people shouldn’t sell “FAKE sneakers as real”.
@@natureblank1401 bro as long as ain’t nobody selling it idgaf
@@natureblank1401 if anyone buys fake sneakers then they should have no say in anything tbh.
@@natureblank1401 I will NEVER sell a rep but best believe these “Travis 1s” I have are gonna be flexed as Travis 1s. I’m not telling u they’re reps da fuk lol
I’ve sold my reps as real. I know it’s wrong but I don’t care, because I needed the money.
@@natureblank1401 or what? What the hell are you gonna do?
So basically “real” vs “fake” isn’t about retail vs unauthorized because retail and unauthorized have the same materials minus some quality control. I don’t understand why people make it more complex than this other than they don’t want to diminish the resell market value of retail when unauthorized are the same fucking shoes minus the fact that they GO THROUGH Footaction Footlocker and all these other retail QCs. Right?
cause there’s no exist “unauthorized” those are just fakes with BETTER QUALITY
@@keos472 then it’s smarter to get the fakes and save money. It’s the same shit. “FAKES” are just the same thing but NOT sold at footlocker. FAKES would be the same LOOKING shoes but made totally different with different materials and possible made in a different place, like Detroit or New Jersey, maybe Appalachia. I’d rather get a ua pair than lay 1,300 for a pair of off white sneakers that aren’t even premium materials and comfort. And trust, I’ve paid for resell just to get a real pair and they’re no different from a good ua seller’s pair and it’s stupid that we get into real bad fake when there are pairs that aren’t sold retail (Unauthorized) that are the same. Y’all have fun paying resell and using tech to get bum ass sneakers that will just end up crumbling or wearing down tho lol I’m never paying resell again. It’s mad.
MK shook the shoetube world up lol.. my option b court purple 2.0s is on the way.. tired of taking Ls when I actually have the money for it.. fuck resell I just wanna wear the damn shoe
Same I got me the off white 5 muslin after watching his videos... can’t wait to rock them 🔥🔥🔥🔥

🔥🔥
I don’t pay resell I just take my L...these unc 1 hurt tho especially since Mfers just want to display the shit...
Where do y’all order from tho ppl keep this shit a huge secret gee I wonder why 👀😑
At the end of the day shoes are meant to be worn on you’re feet no matter where they come from or brand. Authentic or UA. Just don’t try to pass them off as real and sell them.
Saying "this is a subject nobody talked about or you havent heard anyone talk about " is wild disingenuous. Like you haven't seen MK or Weartesters or TonyD2Wild speak on this? lol You aint got to lie craig lol

I got homeboys who wear UAs and I don't think there is anything wrong. Something I don't like is that since people wear UAs others think they're broke N can't afford the real ones. In reality they can afford the real ones but just use that amount of money to something with my value.
Right! I’m married with a 2yr old and a sizable mortgage.
My days of spending $200 - $300 on shoes are over!
With pre-k, swimming lessons, and etc. on the horizon, UAs seem like a good option.
I am definitely exploring this UA world.
Especially at this stage of being 38 in this life.
The places I go, ain’t nobody gonna approach me on some authentication bs.
We should really pic a release and boycott that model for life to send Jordan and Nike a message! “We the people!” Say ENOUGH!
That would change the game bro
I agree fully.
That what be good but resellers will still buy up all the shoes nike doesn't care as long as they make their money
So basically y’all buying UA. Everything is from across the water tho.
Exactly how i feel. If they're made from the same places either all of them are real or all of them are fake. Ibuprofen is ibuprofen regardless if it the store brand or the advil brand
the thing that makes people question wearing/buying UA’s is bc just 3 years back everyone thought they were legit checkers and would call everyone who would buy fakes out
Honestly UAs are the same as the retailed ones. Mk the truth reviews and wears ua an they are the exact same. He recently did two videos and cut them up to see if it’s real materials used or if they have technology in them. They had the same material it better because it’s real leather and and use the same air units in the Jordan 1s. That’s kinda sad if the ua has better material then some retail. Not to mention that some retail has a lot of flaws. I mean look at the Jordan carmine 6s. The after market prices for shoes is crazy and some people don’t even wear them
Carmine 6’s from NIKE.......FLAWS OUT THE ASS! UA carmines........FLAWLESS. But people will take the flawed ones because Nike sent them, but Nike just a middle man. People just go off name brands and hype. Weird mentality but that’s all it is
Yup... Facts!
@@REVIEWSWITJAY It's eaither go to the next sneaker if you don't hit or go option B and stop supporting big resellers...
@@REVIEWSWITJAY Facts!! 💯
He flipped the sneaker community on its head in like a month 😂😂😂🤷🏾♂️ people are waking up to the bs. Nike backdooring at the top level
I’ll be lying if I said I haven’t thought about buying fakes but I ultimately wouldn’t because of the feeling of knowing they’re not authentic. But I agree with you.
Facts I would cop but the feeling of it not being the real deal
It's all in your head.. If the fake sneakers that you guys think uses the same material, same build quality (it got way better now than say 2-3 years ago), and most of the time smells the same, then give those please.
Someome said "he would never wear fake sneaker because he feels like it's morally incorrect", well if you bought a sneaker from a plug before the release date, aren't those supposed to be unauthorized because manufacturers such as Nike, Adidas, etc didn't give consent to sell those before the release date which makes it morally incorrect as well... Which means UA-camrs who buys their pair (non-early access) from a plug supports stolen goods... 🤔
For me reps are more than ok to wear as long as no materials are switched and with good quality. In the end of the day, no one will legit check your shoes when you're wearing them... If I don't hit on retail, I go option B instead of giving my money to scalpers/resellers... ✌
It is authentic. It's all an illusion
Also a waste of money, you can’t resell them. Or Atleast you shouldn’t.
@@a11andiazzz it's cheap already. By the time you kill the shoes, you should more than enough $$$ to get a new one... The point of having a rep shoe is so that you won't feel bad wearing it almost carelessly and not looking like a penguine when you walk in it... 🤣😂
When it comes to sports shoes I always wear UAs and OEMs or even Class A and I don’t even feel a slight embarrassment in public. Even if I’m filthy rich I’d never pay $300 for a freaking pair of Jordans. There are more important things out there than a classy shoe.
I worked for Timberland in Dom. Rep for my first job at around 16. In that era there was also Nike & Rebook in the same spot putting together "Authentic" and Unauthorized sneakers. Keep in mind, we did the same shit at Timberland. During the day all the "authentic" stuff shipped out the proper way and 3rd shift handled all the shit that went out the back door... So many of you would be butt hurt to know that you all rocking the same shit! Not all places do the same, there are spots that do use different materials and its easy to tag as fake... I am 40 now, Nike & Reebok are no longer on the island but Timberland continues to feed us a bit of both real and unauthorized Tims.
I have been lucky enough to catch at retail everything I have wanted. Would I rock Unauthorized? Hell yes! Truth be told at the end of the day both Sneakers regardless they are "Authentic" or Unauthorized. They all come out the factory at tops a $15 to $20 sneaker. 24 years later it was even cheaper what Nike was paying the factories for a finished product. Importation fees and Nike selling to retailers may bring the kicks up to $35 to $50 depending on the kick and then they throw their suggested retail on them...
Man I respect you so much, just the way you talk about this subject with absolutely no disrespect to any side.
Agreed
I’m personally not paying $500 or buying UA. I’m just gone move on. N a dream sneaker world, all youtubers should get there following to stop buying Jordan’s then Nike would listen to us.Man thats 100’s of thousands of people but I know that’s not going to happen. #strikenike. Lol

Agreed. I have kids. I got my son some UA's he said he got so many compliments. My kids are way too rough on shoes to be spending hundreds on one pair.
Appreciate your honesty, a lot of sneaker heads are salty they have spent thousands for the same thing people get for a fraction of the price, it’s all about preference like you said.. I have a pair of the red October’s and I def didn’t pay 10,000 for them 🤣🤣🤣🤑
I have 15 pairs of UA sneakers and they are honestly better than retail pairs. Ive compared them
Make videos
Bro how and where do you buy UA sneakers
@@spiderj85 hit up allkicks247 on insta gram they got great uas
Im ok with as well but I just don’t like the term unauthorized. I feel like its a term the sellers use to make people more likely to pay more because they think its 1:1. Maybe there is a few unauthorized pairs but most are just replicas with UA slapped on it for marketing
“Is it okay to wear UA sneakers?” Let me save people time watching this video and say “Yes. Wear whatever the fuck you want and whatever makes you feel good.”
I'm a watch guy, and can't justify wearing a fake. But some of these sneakers that are going to get dirty and are supposed to be worn, I don't get the big deal with wearing a "ua" shoe.
U right, it is about preference. U either are willing to pay the bread for retail or u pay the bread to get them for resale. Or u either go the ua route. But whatever way u decide to go, it's strictly about preference. My preference has always been to buy authentic sneakers.
Everybody is entitled to do what they like with their bread
Just don’t sell reps as a retail pair and it’s all to the good 💯
That's all that matters. Don't try to resell the UA's and it's all good in the hood.
Facts
I sell unauthorized shoes as real all the time and the ppl that bought them from me couldn’t even tell anyways. If they didn’t check the shoe to see if it’s real or not, then it’s their fault. I don’t care how anybody feels, if I need my money I’mma get it! I’m a hustler, so that’s what I do.
I don't see anything wrong with someone wearing UA's. Like MK said at the end of the day it's all about preference. The only problem I have is when someone tries to sell them as real.

@@tjs-_goated7449 don’t you think it’s wrong that someone wants to buy an authentic pair and you knowing that they’re fake continue to sell. That’s what I find wrong with it. I wouldn’t mind buying UAs knowing they’re UA but don’t charge a person authentic pairs for UA.
@@arkhamshinobi6197Yeah I know it’s wrong but I still got the money so I can care less.
He said “ it’s a preference “ like 1000 times 😂
I’ll save my money and invest it into the market before I pay resell for some sneakers! I use to only wear authentics ONLY then I got older and started to realize the difference between UAs and Authentic shoes are nothing literally nothingggggg!! You must find the perfect seller who sells the best batch of UAs then you’ll realize how crazy good these sneakers are nowadays. I have my sellers and they never lets me down.!! Shoutout REPFAM!!!
I don’t flex fakes or nothing but if someone asks if they real I just say yeah and move along. Nobody knows the difference so there’s no point in paying the extra 900 dollars for a pair
Nothing wrong with a good pair of replicas, unless you’re trying to sell them like the real deal and scam someone
I sold my UAs, it’s hard to tell if they are authentic or not because they are top quality and I sell them for good prices. I don’t tell them they are UAs because if I do then I wouldn’t be able to sell them. It’s part of the hustle and the grind. trying to make money to get by and survive. I Know it’s not right but I needed the money so as long as I got it, I can care less. 🤷🏾♂️
I wear UA’s and when people ask me if they are real I straight up tell them “no, they are UA’s” and when they ask me why I wear UA’s I tell em “because I want my outfit to look good and I’m not dumb enough to pay 500-1700 for a pair of kicks”.
The way I see it, if you collect sneakers go for it, pay the money for the legit ones and most respect to you buy if you want to just have a drippy outfit and look good go for the UA’s, just don’t be that guy that tells people they are wearing the real deal.
when you say preference, you are assuming people who wear U.A's prefer to wear U.As and that sir is not the case... of course people would prefer to wear the retail shoe but some people love a specific shoe so much and because of bots/backdoors and ppl who have connects (i.e trophy rooms) ppl don't have a chance, they're are some ppl who haven't hit on snkers in over a year... you saying to just move on as if people don't move on already, how many times are people suppose to move to the next L?? so instead of taking L after L they go to china and buy U.As so they can wear them, these U.As are getting so good that you can't even tell they difference most times.. so NO people don't prefer to wear U.A's its just that the sneaker game has become a resell business that real sneaker heads who actually wear their kicks are left with no choice...
THANK YOU
You know it’s really unfair because some ppl live in areas that have sneaker stores or where the sneaker culture is apparent. It can be easier for those ppl to get sneakers they want for retail or close too retail. I have never hit on the SNKRS app before and live in an area that has no sneaker culture or stores. I’m tired of paying resell so UAs are definitely sounding nice.
After watching the video I 100% agree. end of the day it's your bread your spending, they're your shoes to wear and who tf really cares what anyone thinks as long as you happy. I mean unless you're rocking some payless specials and trying to pass them as diors that's a different story
My point exactly bro
A lot of UAs I’ve seen either have a better shape or look cleaner and feel better than their counterparts. Wear what you like - just don’t sell it as authentic.
Sniper to be honest you can feel however you want to just like I can about the issue when your getting hard to get sneakers from brands like Hibbett for free when Hibbett keeps giving out L on there app when they could have just gave people a chance to get the shoe they gave to you UA-camrs for free.
Yea Snipe is plugged in we the one taking Ls. Of course he not wear UA he plugged in for free
For the first time in 8 years I’m switching back to UA for certain sneakers I want. Fuck paying resellers $1000+ for a sneaker that’s going to wear out just as quickly as a $100 pair.
I love how humble this video was
When I was younger did I? Yep...but would I wear them now? No...and that's only because I can afford them now. Would I ever judge or knock anyone for wearing them....nah. Your money, your feet, your kicks, your decision....do you my guy.
Basically, i def ain’t wearing that shit.
People need to stop buying resell. Just buy reps. Stop feeding the resell monster. .
Think about it logically 1.3 Billion people live in first world countries, a small percentage of that are sneaker heads , 120k pairs last release. We should all have a good chance at getting them, but the issue is 100% bots not even resellers who buy 1. Its people getting 100+ every release.
Quick tip for UA the factories are actually starting to get crackdown rig now so production been kinda crazy lately with some factories people ❤️
I’m here waiting for the MK video in the next couple hours😂

By definition any shoe sold that does have official permission or approval by the manufacturer is UNAUTHORIZED
Resalers started treating Sneakers like Stocks and retails like their IPO😂
The question is not UA or retail. The question is UA or Resell. And the answer is always UA>Resell. If the retailer don’t do enough to combat resell then in my book UA>Retail too.
Answering ur thumbnail question . It shouldn't matter to anyone what "I" decide to wear... 😂 People with thier "oh move on to the next release" .. "More like move on to the next L "... Im not filling a scumbags pockets to wear some sneaker i like.
Late comment. I am Indonesian. As you know adidas , nike, gap, etc make their some products in here. Those brands make lot of money, while they paid very cheap to factories, and labours are struggling with money.
So it's not really wrong if labours make extra pcs of those brands' products to make more money.
They made by same people, anyway.
I respect your stance on it bro. My issue with UA sneakers is there are people out there that will attempt to sell them as authentic and have been successful in doing so. We've heard of those stories about people buying from Goat or StockX then get disappointed when they realize they were sold a fake. I've even seen resell shops just glance at a shoe and accept it. Without diligently evaluating the sneaker. There are sneakers I'm willing to spend the extra bread on but don't because I can't trust it's not UA. Like you said if I don't hit at retail it's on to the next one.
Just buy a rep and enjoy life fam , it’s not that serious
@@THEKLEVER187 reps are expensive. I rather stick to my $60 converse or vans
@@baonguyen3484 hey I respect that all day long , but if for some crazy reason vans start getting bot’ed up And put on stock X for $200+ then yea I’m definitely buying a rep van lol 😆
I was sold on UA'S when my cousin brought his pair of Jordan Dior 1's to my house and compared them to my retail pair. He got everything that I had and I couldn't even tell the difference between the to it was crazy and he only paid $280 for them. Smh I'm still amazed by it!!!
Would you share your UA plug ?
Cannot find any reliable one :(
Honestly the only difference is that Nike approved there shoes and the others are not approved... that’s the difference can’t blame the factories for making there shoes and getting paid pennies on the dollar.... resellers and holder’s drive the price up as we do as well but holding shoes seeing if travis will wear them or Kylie.... this is what we have come to vs just enjoying our kicks Nike back doors shoes as well all shops real and fake raffles go on footlocker cancels your reservation. The list can go on and on but we support it we say let’s pay resell or trade our 10 dollar shoes because that’s what it cost or less 15 for off whites that. Resell for hundreds and thousands. All we can do is blame our selfs because we Let it happen. Just like MK the truth said we let this shot happen and it’s not going to stop even with Ann Herbert Nike is to powerful. The UA business is to big as well the resell business is to massive.... yes we all miss walking into footlocker buying our kicks or them telling us another shipment will be here on Thursday come back. We got you
Its all mentality nowadays especially since the quality of UA is so good now. You're getting same quality or damn near same quality for less money. Then you don't have to worry about wearing them since you paid a low price for them. Rock them with confidence. 99% of people wont notice.
I would say some of the UA shoes are better
if i’m being logical and i want a Jordan 1 TS, I ain’t spending $2,000 on a shoe that’s worth $175, even if i got the $2,000. It just ain’t right, you could buy a whole ass car for $2,000.
great video
much love bro 👏🏽
You unknowlingly bought a pair of UA's.
Hell yea !! Them mochas
Personally, i like the turbo greens and ion wanna pay like 500 for them, i feel kinda wrong doing it but they look the same to me, so why not. But when you resell them as fakes your wrong for that
I buy UA / Rep shoes bc I’m just not willing to spend $300 to more than a thousand dollars for a pair of shoe. The problem is I like a shoe but I can’t get so I find a different option to get em which is the UA route. Imo the feel same and look same so I’m happy. If somebody calls me out I’mma tell them they’re UAs. What the gon do about it?
Exactly. Nike already made their money. No sense giving some loser with a bot a pay day as well.
So, here is a good question:
With all the imperfections that that authentic shoes has, like the jordan 4 fire og, jordan 1 unc, etc., how can one tell the difference between an authentic shoe from a UA shoe?
Anpkicks seems to have a good report and the bred 4s pass check check and scanner
Where can I get UA shoes?? I’m kinda nervous to buy one some sites.
Wow. So I’m convinced, people are wearing the UA ones and are selling the real ones for resale. That actually makes a whole lot of sense
Me and my friends do that lol
I love you Bruh but you did do a real vs fake comparison on the Mochas but me myself I would have no problem wearing Ua sneakers because FAKE implies they are made of cardboard or plastic so I don’t agree with the FAKE LABEL but you’re absolutely right it’s personal preference
Well said brah. I was just talkin with the wife about this, I feel like I can walk away from shoes I couldn’t cop, I haven’t done UAs but if there’s a color way I really want, and I’m not talkin about getting Yeezys or highly priced shoes. Regular ol dunks, Jay 1s is all I’m looking for, and again if I can’t cop, walking away is easy.
Thinking of buying UA Travis Scott air Jordan 1’s what y’all think?
how you know your hibbett sneakers werent made in the safe factory the "UA" joints was made ?
They are. I just got union 1s and yeezy zebras and they are so 🔥 🔥 🔥 same materials
@@dallen7548 what’s a good ua site
@@Ksndfg I mean if need to know some I can tell you a few.
UA sneakers are best for non-resellers or non-sneaker investors cuz they aren’t Authentic.While Authentic sneakers are best for resellers and sneaker Heads. There is a reason a sneaker is sold at a certain price point. I think both people have a right to wear what they want and not get judged cuz pockets are different and tastes too.
Always consider,Durability,Material,and “Reality checks” with your Hommie’s😂 which is a last factor to consider.
Watch your budget to avoid Dripping on debt⚡️

You just made me sub bruh, loved the way how you were spitting facts, straight up genuine, now I might not be a day 1, but best believe ima be active in this channel.
Keep it up 💙🤟🏽
Just received my UA Concord 11s the other day and they are fire AF only wore them yesterday and today, wore them in Walmart today and this chick a stranger straight said Hey I like your shoes I was like oh yeah thanks lol, these Concords turning heads No 🧢
UA IS THE NEW WAVE 🔥🔥🔥
where do u cop?
@Firekitz i was mad at first but sifting through the comments I’m not as mad about copping reps
Ong I agree, it’s preference. I like the real thing because it’s part of the experience, you cop and you know they real??! That experience feels good and it feels like you’re an actual sneaker head you know? I don’t mind paying resell but it’s very few shoes that I’ll crack my head open for *cough* Chicago 1’s *cough*☠️☠️, and lately I’ve been tryna find new ways to cop shoes for as low as possible. I just like the real thing, but I wouldn’t knock a person wearing UA’s. As long as they aren’t noticeably fake then whatever, cause if they are it seems like you didn’t even try to get close to the actual item, but I still don’t call out people anyway cause that’s non of my business😭. Plus the thought of wearing something fake would never leave my head and that shit bothers me, not really caring about what others think but personally that wouldn’t make it feel genuine😭
Facts!!!
I'd never in hell by resell. I'm not that desperate to get a rare shoe I like, or something I didn't cop taking Ls.
Option 'B' can sometimes be better and more consistent than retail. That is a fact. To each thier own. Just wish there wasn't so much hate for people that wear UAs. Sell UAs, hell to the nah!!
Wendy is going to be very busy next week, DHL 🚚 all over the hood in about a month n is totally ok if u ware them not sellthem
😂😂😂
imma buy ua dunks cause skating breaks your shoes so i dont feel like spend so much for shoes that will break
The prices are crazy now day's to a point. The main problem is not being able to get a pair. Everyone is either hyping a shoe and or promoting all the releases. If it's wasn't for social media yah probably have more of a chance of getting the pairs you want but can't. Resellers be hitting on the head after paying retail and ya'll wonder why specific shoe prices are the way they are when they release.
Damn bruh first time watching one of you're vids but you a real one!
Bro, thank you so much for this video. I will most likely end up paying resale and don't want to end up getting a fake. Your Mocha vid helped me a lot too, bro. Thank you.
🤣🤣🤣
you do you man... But just letting you know, the more we support resellers/scalpers, nothing will change...
For me, i rather look the alternative way if I really want a certain shoe than giving extra $$$ to resellers... rather keep the extra money or spend it to my kid and family.. 😉
Compared my Turbo Green Jordan 1's (UA) with the one's my brother got from actual retail and there was not even a single difference to him and to me to find. Used to buy retail and some from resellers here and there but spending money like that for something that absolutely no one cares about except yourself has nothing to do with being broke or being rich, be smart and spend your money wisely. Unless they somehow ban bots or make limited sales per person/company etc.. i'll stick to UA's/fakes/replicas (whatever you wanna call them) from now on. MK got me into this mindset 🙏
Man why everyone praising MK?... Y'all forgot about Rupa?... "There's options out chea!"
MK making good vids... But Rupa been on that UA game for a minute.
You're right. Rupa got knocked that's why
Facts, I forgot about him. Watched a video where he explained the whole situation. Was crazy
Rupa got me into the UA game... i met homie hes as real as he is on the videos
