It’s good to have someone challenge some of the myths in the sneaker world!! With there being so much hype and money surrounding such subjects it’s good to have a fresh approach!! Keep doing what you’re doing, fella xx
I honestly think it was a way of generating hype on the remaining pairs, but honestly i wouldnt be suprised if there were atleast 200 pairs most were kepts by shop staff or management but due to the circs, they kept quite.
Yeah I agree, if they already shipped them out to stores, I wouldn't be surprised if there was 1000's of them. Some stores didn't return them, some stores got lost in the mix and Nike forgot who exactly they sent them to.
@@Nahstee it was like 15 years ago bro, and Nike literally sends shoes to 1000's of different stores, some big who get 10 ful size runs, some small who only get one. I used to work in retail and if u saw how sloppy shyt was behind the scenes, wat I said wouldn't be so unbelievable.

Also zum Aufklären: Die Freddy SB wurden 2007 in Horropack released ( unter anderem auch die Jason Vorhees Dunks High und die Dawn of The Dead Air Trainer 1) Der Release wurde jedoch geleaked wodurch die Filmproduzenten gesagt haben Nike soll den Dunk canceln. Allerdings gab es in einem mexikanischen Skateshop ein early Release von 26 Stück. Hinzu kommen 10-12 Prototypes ( rot/schwarze Blutspritzer) und nochmal ca 30 samples (teilweise Nummer 666 auf der Rückseite). Aber den größten Anteil haben die Paare die eig hätten zerstört/recycled werden müssen aber Nike Mitarbeiter haben die einfach mitgenommen. Wir sprechen hier ca von 200-300 Paaren. Zusammengefasst gibt es also eher an die 400 Paare davon, was den Schuh trotzdem zu einem der seltensten macht!
There are definitely over 100 pairs of freddy's floating around. The reason why they are starting to pop up more often is because they are worth so much money the collectors that held on to them and never showed them are selling them off. I believe the reason why people keep going with the 26 to 30 number is to drive "exclusivity" and to keep the price on them high because if it got out WAY more pairs exist it would affect the market.
This is very informative. Amazing work, man. You should drop more of this kind of content. How about settling the debate on whether the Jordan 1s originally got retroed in 1994 or 1995?
Thanks man - took a while to make it as I was researching and going back and forth with a few people - it’s def interesting to shed some light on these types of things though
Absolutely sick pair, couldn't afford the real pair so bought the vicinity bootleg version, still super good quality, definitely a piece of sneaker history
There are way more than 300 pairs out there. My friend's dad used to work for a Nike distributor and every time someone asks him about the Freddy's he just laughs. He told me that there were thousands that were "released" primarily through back channels. The sneaker collectors hype all these myths because it brings in $$$
It could be but you’d have your work cut out with these - a lot of scumbags out there that would be tempted to try im sure but as a buyer you’d only be buying off someone who’s got a great reputation for selling these types of kicks
No they won’t they didn’t even get to release these cause of new line cinema lol. What are you thinking they will try again and see if they let them release them🤦♂️😂
@@ThatWrapperDudeMoney talks… Nike could license them from New Line. I’m sure New Line Cinema has a price, Nike just doesnt want to pay it. It could happen very easily. Same with Heinekens
a lot of good facts here but also keep in mind that when these shoes were made they didn’t ever get released so anyone who had them who shouldn’t have or somehow managed to have them most likely didn’t just keep them in a box and could’ve definitely worn them so that’s not really contributing to the number but just something to keep in mind because there was probably more pairs that just got worn and eventually destroyed
socalled oiled freddys r actually samples， theses standard green red straps，“burned leather” samples，cuz freddy was bruned to death，and blueish red straps
I talked to some of the guys at Cool Kicks about this… the rumor/story they have heard goes as such (The majority of the “oily” shoes come from the aftermath of the fire. That the cleaning crew must have snagged up pairs that didn’t get completely torched” Apparently there are pairs that have burn marks on them that have been verified as real… I have a hard time believing they oiled and burnt a mountain of shoes. If 200-300 pairs survived, how big was the original pile. How many pairs were made all together… where on their property would they have burnt them??? But there is the case of Atari burying 1000’s of copy’s of the game ET. People thought it was a myth for years, until they went out and found them all in a landfill. So I guess we will have to wait.
Back in the day I was friends with a guy who has a huge sb account at surf shops here in so cal, they said like 12 samples back in day and there was like maybe 100 pairs out from standard release and people rocked em back then too, I think a lot of people have old A grade fakes cuz they was repo in these hard back then too
Bro NOT sayin' urs are UA/replica but comin' from regardless if 30 pairs of 300...I'd love to see pics of ur pair because I can look at them for less than 10 seconds and know if legit. ONLY reason why it's now in question is cuz batch #2 was FINALLY updated and they're STILL very "off" compared to what the samples, the pairs that weren't destroyed etc so my thing is , we really gonna say it's just a coincidence that since that restock EVERY reseller has a "couple" pairs??? I'm not and I can't just believe that all of u amazing sneakerheads are that niave. Lastly...this is a 15+ year old shoe sooo how they seem to look BRAND NEW lol??? 🤔🤔🤔...I Rock and support my guy (geesh he has so many different names I can't keep up) but my brotha Sneakernomics and I have talked about this and who really cares haha but its the resellers who just HAPPEN to randomly have tables at Sneaker Events with 1 pair...then video of them at another even and same cat had 2 pairs after selling his one pair he had left for 25k 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️...again, IF u truly have a sample or"made for retail" lol pair 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 crazy props bro cuz im one of the biggest Nightmare on Elm Street fans EVER lol...aaand I get shit free and won't even take those lol but respect to u and I'd Love To see em fam
I have 15-20 year kicks that still look Brand New because Im obsessed with taking care of them. I have the Freddys and I just sold my Pair of Miros only releaseed in Barcelona with only 1000 released with the olympic lace pack of 6 rings
In the video game world these would be comparable to “Nintendo World Championships 1990” and “Stadium Events”. Both very rare carts and they don’t pop up as often as these shoes do. If the numbers of 30 pairs or less is true, I promise you, you wouldn’t see them at every convention. Sneaker heads just don’t know how to legit check an unreleased shoe so they all think they have unreleased legit pairs, and its obvious we have several videos of sneaker heads failing the legit check on Jordan 1 off whites.
This would explain things, im one off them that has had toughts that something aint right regarding the numbers, when u see them literly every where nowdays😅
The fire story is obviously a myth, at the time i doubt Nike employees thought that the Freddys were so precious, seems more like a story imagined with todays point of view, back in the days SB dunks did not have the hype they have now
I love wearing my FREDDYs (reps) N.O.E.S. was my introduction into horror when I was like 12yo and I fell in love with the Genre. I love my horror movies 🍿 🔪 🩸🪓♥️♥️♥️
I used to be so into sneakers, but I just can’t anymore. Maybe I’m getting old, but sneaker collecting is just too cringe. It’s pure, indulgent materialism, and product worship.
I can tell when a shoe is aged 10-20 years. As apposed to brand new! Doesn’t take a genius…A certain type of aging and discoloring starts to happen in the midsole and the glue starts to get crunchy so you’d know.
There are way more pairs. A majority of them are circulating in Asia. It’s not just Mexico that received them. Another skate shop in Canada received them too. Also when the destruction of the shoes were ordered, they were set to be drenched in oil and lit on fire. But a lot of the pairs were stolen off that pile, which is why you’ll see a dark oil stain on Many pairs, like the ones in Asia. The dude ain’t Korean, he’s actually from Hong Kong and he’s been on this mission to buy up every pair of the rarest sbs around, completely mental. Great video man, love and enjoy every one of them!!
Lmaoo you can believe the pile of shoes drenched in oil story if you want. “A skate shop in Mexico” 😂. Who created these lies? It’s all made up. Wouldn’t be surprised if all but 5-10 pairs are authentic and everything else super high quality reps created by a sneaker head who flew to China to work with factories to make them 1:1 with a bunch of trial n error
This is not a true story. None of them were ever “drenched in oil”. The parts that look like they have oil on them is part of the design. That’s why you only see those “stains” on the panels and not the other parts of the shoe. Nike would never dispose of sneakers by putting oil on them and burning them. They would be going against so many regulations and they wouldn’t do that.
I bought a pair of Freddy Krueger SB dunks I remember following the horror pack with the Jason Friday the 13th dunks and the Air trainers I remember hearing them being canceled but I knew a guy who got comparison way way back in the day and I bought a pair of my size size 10 I think at the time I spent $300 maybe $350 and I warm them a few times but from what my guy told me was that there were at least a couple hundred pairs that were freed from the Nike factories but to this day a lot of pairs don't pop up on the market they are in the hands of collectors because New line Cinema could technically go after them because the way that it all went down and to be in possession of a pair of Freddy Krueger SB Nike dunk lows is literally a direct middle finger to new line cinema
Lol they wouldn’t go after anyone they aren’t watching people with the shoes lol. If so they would go after all the UA-camrs that post them🤦♂️😂💀use your head sir
@@ThatWrapperDude That's why I said technically I didn't say they would because you were absolutely right they can't go after every individual but I mean stranger things have happened but the likelihood of them going after every single person that post them or owns a pair of them is about one of the billion That's why I used the term technically
I always thought it was a little truth in all stories. They had more than 30 pairs, they never destroyed them, i heard some were authentic greenlit by a scandalous Nike employee, i think some are 1:1 fakes that have aged well which makes it hard to tell the authenticity. I always thought the fire story was more of a homage to the original Freddy story then anything else, he terrorized kids in their dreams and they set him on fire but he still survived just like the sneakers till this day just seemed contrived.
i personally think the design itself is also just for collectors satisfaction only because of how well designed it is for the movie and its culture impact. because really, would you really wear the shoe if you put aside the hype? it’s actually pretty ugly and hard to match a fit unless you’re going for halloween.
There is likely more than 30 pairs out there but you see so many of them because the same 20 guys keep selling each other the same 20 pairs. They're just playing hot potato with them increasing the price each time
If a skate shop in Mexico were able to sell 2 size runs that just shows they had these already off the line and ready to go. There’s probably thousands. An owner of a skate shop near me kept all hit Heineken pairs once he got the notice he wasn’t able to sell them but he already had the shipment. Dude has tons of old nike SB gems up in LA Rif and flight club.
I used to work for Nike distribution in LA from 2005-2009, many of the Freddy’s were modified to change the look and sent to outlets, some pairs were placed into storage, some employees were able to cop them along the line ie “backdoored”, or you can believe that they were sent to a dump and set on fire which at the time would violate so many environmental laws, then again congratulations you made it to the end, I am just kidding and it’s all cap!
The video's reliance on hearsay makes it less credible fighting unverifiable information with unreliable sources. the existence of oily pairs contradicting to the argument People understand why these sneakers are highly valued, questioning their authenticity is a valid concern. The video fail to acknowledge the possibility of fake pairs in the market undermines its credibility by dismissing it as the opinion of "Dumb 12 year olds."
Yeah, too many assumptions majority are reps. This makes it sound like every single pair has been re sold which I would imagine some people would want too keep such a limited release. Look at how many people are already re selling "early" pairs of palominos without questioning how they made it out of the factory.
@@sneakernomics5547 But that's what this video just did? You didn't have any manufacturing logs, no single witness statement and no actual way to legitimately verify a real pair of freddy dunks. This was all just a story to proactively inflate the number from 26 to 300 and justify the high amount floating around?
@@miggyontiveros2394 yeah I’m not claiming this is an authoritative take, I specifically say this in the vid, the research I did and the interviews I conducted provided the evidentiary support (a lot of it is screenshotted in the vid) to help me arrive at my conclusion - the number didn’t even need inflating as the 30 number was always bunk and unfounded it’s more about making a better educated guess on how many are out there
@@sneakernomics5547 However other people will cling onto this vid and now claim their pair is "one of the 300 made". You just gave an easy way out for a lot of people to claim legitimacy of their pairs.
@@miggyontiveros2394 not really bro - the number could be way higher for all I know - the goal was to dispel the myth that there are only 30 pairs and to hazard a guess as to how many could be out there - I’m very clear in the vid it’s all speculation
With so many variations of this shoe its impossible for anyone to accurately legit check them too. Surely there has to be a number of reps popping up on the internet for hype or even getting passed off as real pairs.
This is a good challenge and makes more sense than just blanketing the 'all are fakes except the genuine 30 of 'em' conclusion. Is there a way to authenticate tbe oil splatter (much like a blood splatter that Freddy would leave behind!? Hehe...) or any kind of a distinct and less known technique to differentiate the authentic ones? Will Nike really b🔥rn those shoes as per cease & desist order? As Interesting as the resell price its demanding for. I'll appreciate answers for these. Thanks --- ■
I've been saying this n from what I've learned most are fakes but alot are one that got messed up when they where supposed to be destroyed only 30pairs ds existed
most the ones we see in videos are real the fake ones dont have the same quality or even close to one that looks a bit legit theres only a couple batches in the reps market and thzy both look horrible the one that is rlly FAKE is the "sample" that got red and green splatter instead of blood splatter those got a rlly accurate reps batch out there
@@ThatWrapperDude nike have cancelled a lot of contracts with skate shops over the years - in fact there are only a small handful of skate shops in the UK that have a nike account - if you want to keep getting stock directly from nike, esp the desirable stuff you have to keep them happy
“Don’t believe those guys believe these guys.”It’s much more likely that a bunch of reps are sold and treated as the Originals. Now it’s easy content so I can only see more reps being pooled into the market.
Even 300 is a relatively small number globally. I’m more prone to believe there’s some reps being used as props for content.
100%, its probably some combination of the two. it's probably also the same 6 resellers just trading them back and forth.
Props for content? The reps for these are so good they are selling on legit platforms 😂
@@ZbiegzBINGO
Shoezeum guy said the main dif between the real and 99% of fakes is the top of the tongue is curved, and fakes don’t have that. He spent years looking for the right pair on eBay.

They had more than 30 pairs, they never destroyed them, i heard some were authentic greenlit by a scandalous Nike employee, i think some are 1:1 fakes that have aged well which makes it hard to tell the authenticity. I always thought the fire story was more of a homage to the original Freddy story then anything else, he terrorized kids in their dreams and they set him on fire but he still survived just like the sneakers till this day just seemed contrived.
Another HOOD classic!!!
crazy part someone had gave me some Freddy n I thought they was fake didn't know i think I have the prototype Freddy]
Nike is the DeBeers of sneakers. They mastered the art of artificial scarcity to blow up sales.
Would never buy these only because I can’t trust authenticity from anywhere.
Great video!
i personally think the design itself is also just for collectors satisfaction only because of how well designed it is for the movie and its culture impact. because really, would you really wear the shoe if you put aside the hype? it’s actually pretty ugly and hard to match a fit unless you’re going for halloween.
Great video! I agree 100%
comment number 4 here, nike could make a krueger today but they just wont.
I was in a sneaker store in Sydney yesterday and they had a pair on display. Told me they wanted 200k Aussie for them
Wow that’s a bit too much tbh but there can’t be that many pairs in Aussie
@@sneakernomics5547 wouldn’t even offer me afterpay !
There is likely more than 30 pairs out there but you see so many of them because the same 20 guys keep selling each other the same 20 pairs. They're just playing hot potato with them increasing the price each time
Facts weren’t these shock dropped in resell land 😂😂 I’m just fuckin around
They kind of look hideous… imagine if Nike all of a sudden decided to rerelease them i huge quantities they will eventually end up in outlet stores
Freddy shoes not going to be worn at 20-30K
If a skate shop in Mexico were able to sell 2 size runs that just shows they had these already off the line and ready to go. There’s probably thousands. An owner of a skate shop near me kept all hit Heineken pairs once he got the notice he wasn’t able to sell them but he already had the shipment. Dude has tons of old nike SB gems up in LA Rif and flight club.
Yeah good point
I used to work for Nike distribution in LA from 2005-2009, many of the Freddy’s were modified to change the look and sent to outlets, some pairs were placed into storage, some employees were able to cop them along the line ie “backdoored”, or you can believe that they were sent to a dump and set on fire which at the time would violate so many environmental laws, then again congratulations you made it to the end, I am just kidding and it’s all cap!
These are a case where I think Reps are warranted.
The video's reliance on hearsay makes it less credible fighting unverifiable information with unreliable sources.
the existence of oily pairs contradicting to the argument
People understand why these sneakers are highly valued, questioning their authenticity is a valid concern. The video fail to acknowledge the possibility of fake pairs in the market undermines its credibility by dismissing it as the opinion of "Dumb 12 year olds."
Sausage comment
@@sneakernomics5547 sausage response
I got my Freddy’s the other day. And I’m wearing them. I’m not one of these idiots who buys shoes and doesn’t wear them
is it a new zealand rugby shirt? been getting into rugby as of recent
It is. Wanna guess why?
Yeah bro - all blacks 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 good rugby team
@@sneakernomics5547definitely. I particularly like a all blacks vs our English team always good matches.
There's only 26 pairs in existence.... I'm Nike McNikey I would know🤓🤓
Looks like 30k pairs every short you see has at least one pair
But the sketchy part is.. even the sellers don’t even know where they came from 🤷♂️ haha
How do you know?
why are the sfx only in my left headphone 😭
How is this hypothesis more valid than the "30 pair"?
W video bro
Great video topic
Yeah, too many assumptions majority are reps. This makes it sound like every single pair has been re sold which I would imagine some people would want too keep such a limited release. Look at how many people are already re selling "early" pairs of palominos without questioning how they made it out of the factory.
A lot of fakes out there sure - but if you’re going to claim a pair is fake you should justify that claim based on some evidence
@@sneakernomics5547 But that's what this video just did? You didn't have any manufacturing logs, no single witness statement and no actual way to legitimately verify a real pair of freddy dunks. This was all just a story to proactively inflate the number from 26 to 300 and justify the high amount floating around?
@@miggyontiveros2394 yeah I’m not claiming this is an authoritative take, I specifically say this in the vid, the research I did and the interviews I conducted provided the evidentiary support (a lot of it is screenshotted in the vid) to help me arrive at my conclusion - the number didn’t even need inflating as the 30 number was always bunk and unfounded it’s more about making a better educated guess on how many are out there
@@sneakernomics5547 However other people will cling onto this vid and now claim their pair is "one of the 300 made". You just gave an easy way out for a lot of people to claim legitimacy of their pairs.
@@miggyontiveros2394 not really bro - the number could be way higher for all I know - the goal was to dispel the myth that there are only 30 pairs and to hazard a guess as to how many could be out there - I’m very clear in the vid it’s all speculation
With so many variations of this shoe its impossible for anyone to accurately legit check them too. Surely there has to be a number of reps popping up on the internet for hype or even getting passed off as real pairs.
Nike let those dunks flyyyyy. Nike just covered their butt by stating only very few got released.
LMAO@tsunami.
This is a good challenge and makes more sense than just blanketing the 'all are fakes except the genuine 30 of 'em' conclusion.
Is there a way to authenticate tbe oil splatter (much like a blood splatter that Freddy would leave behind!? Hehe...) or any kind of a distinct and less known technique to differentiate the authentic ones?
Will Nike really b🔥rn those shoes as per cease & desist order?
As Interesting as the resell price its demanding for.
I'll appreciate answers for these.
Thanks --- ■
Everyone googles shit an google never gets Updted, shit changes. Thats why i dont go buy shit from anybody but the mall when they come out.
I've been saying this n from what I've learned most are fakes but alot are one that got messed up when they where supposed to be destroyed only 30pairs ds existed
most the ones we see in videos are real
the fake ones dont have the same quality or even close to one that looks a bit legit
theres only a couple batches in the reps market and thzy both look horrible
the one that is rlly FAKE is the "sample" that got red and green splatter instead of blood splatter
those got a rlly accurate reps batch out there
Nightmare on Hype Street
You know damn well stores didn't send all their stock back to be destroyed. If I was manager I would told Nike sorry we sold em all already. 🤷♂️
Yeah that’s a fair comment tbh although if you want to keep your Nike account you tend to do what they say
@@sneakernomics5547well if they are already sold how can you do what they want🤦♂️😂 Nike is huge they aren’t gonna stop giving to skate shops.
@@ThatWrapperDude nike have cancelled a lot of contracts with skate shops over the years - in fact there are only a small handful of skate shops in the UK that have a nike account - if you want to keep getting stock directly from nike, esp the desirable stuff you have to keep them happy
“Don’t believe those guys believe these guys.”It’s much more likely that a bunch of reps are sold and treated as the Originals. Now it’s easy content so I can only see more reps being pooled into the market.
Do a collab w trippin plz
