Official Nike Air Yeezy 2 AFTERMATH THREAD ----- NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

[kilroythedon]

Lol do you even know how Nike does business? There are no NIKE brand factories in Putian China. You really think these factories would have access to the materials if Nike didn't provide it to them already?

I understand you don't like hearing it. But it's the truth. You'll also enjoy hearing that there are no copyright infringement laws in China. Just another by product of Nikes decision to cheap out on the labor costs to produce these shoes. The reality is that The reproduction of replicas or GM shoes has no bearing on nikes sales so they are not considered threats to the market. Hence why Nike does nothing to stop it. Lose a couple thousand a year or save a couple of million in outsourcing labor. Hmmm if you were a CEO what would you decide?

I'm gonna say this again. If you enjoy wearing fake shoes that's you. I dunno why your on a sneaker forum you clearly don't need to be on here. People on sneaker forums use them to get educated about sneakers or to find out the necessary information about sneakers so that they can purchase them.

You won't have a problem finding fake sneakers, so go that way... You don't need niketalk all you need is taobao or watever that **** is called. Were on here trying to get authentic Nike products. If we wanted Fake sneakers aint nobody would be worried about when the red yeezys dropped. We woulda spent out $85.00 for the fake joints. This sneaker **** aint for you. This spending money on legit products you not about this life. So keep doing what you doing elsewhere. You always find an opportunity to talk about fake shoes and front like they not fake. No there terrible.

 

[mart da god]

bro why are you in here preaching, your not gonna change anybodies mind. I'm not judging do your thing if you wanna convince yourself that reps are justified because there like a bi-product of Nike being greedy or something, but niketalk might be the wrong place to brag about it

lol at acting like reps are authentic pairs that Nike decided not to sell, they are what they are bro

 

[onlyjs]

mods should clearly ban this guy, all he talks about is reps and he's proud of them! and from hearing from the quotes this guy doesn't just buy fake yeezy's but other fake nike products as well!
no need for a guy like this in NT or any body else who likes fakes! of banning is not the way at least a warning system then if the problem consists POOF f'outta here

 

[madamimadam]

Ban me for what? Telling you the truth? I'm not the one who started this whole "Red October reps" discussion. And I never advocated buying reps over authentics. So way to go twisting my words and making **** up. All I said was that the reps are a good clue as to what the authentics are going to look and be made out of because the factories that make reps also make authentics.

Aside from that maybe if you could read you would see that there are plenty of other people in here talking about them and posting pics of the reps as well. So don't go singling me out.

BUT you said THIS:

I got the rep octobers and they are good enough for me. No need to fight the masses for a different toebox

And THIS:

Lol I don't care. Cost me 100 bucks and its the same cheap Chinese sneaker that y'all are buying for 250+

**** with your holier than thou attitudes. All yeezys are hypebeast shoes. If they were called montel Williams or "Montys" they wouldn't get a second look.

SMH at convenient amnesia... Banned Hammer where art thou?

we know those things because we got pics of kanye with em on, didn't need replicas for that. the authentics will be a different shape, different materials, a different shade of red. don't try and moonwalk over your statements by saying "all I said was that the reps are a good clue"

you basically tried to call everybody stupid for buying legit shoes

 

[jake82]

Idk about yall but the more ive been seeing those super fake super perfect yeezy they are still waay off. I know i said before i was contemplating coppin a pair to preserve my authentics, but i rather buy another legit pair...The super perfects are just as sad as the earlier trash reps...

Or your worried that the reps are getting to close to the authentics

 

[warbucks]

LMAO @ ballplayers finessed into buying fakes. people will see authentic pairs round Oct. 10th beginning with Virgil, Don, Ibn n freckle face Def Jam guy. idk y anyone will buy before seeing real pairs pop up. auto fail in my eyes

 

[mart da god]

are you surprised? the red yeezys havent dropped yet, we have like 1 clean shot of the shoe and it's at a dark concert. "super perfect" its just a name lol it doesn't mean anything, then next ones where they fix the toe will be the "super duper perfects", then when they fix the white lining they'll be the "ultra perfects" then they'll add better suede and mesh and call em the "Jesus perfects"

 

[warbucks]

^^^lol the Yeezus Christ Editions

 

[warbucks]

AT LEAST THE R.O WILL HIT SELECT FOOTLOCKERS AND ALL HOH. 

yea u heard right

 

[djlunchbox]

The pair of Dannell ellerbe also has the white inner lining. So also fake I assume.

What white lining?

It's sad that dude prolly did get taken for a couple of stacks on those Red Fauxctobers. I swear some people's thirst for e-cred is baffling. I couldn't tell from the video but i bet someone got a decent unbeat up box from China or swapped tags onto a legit NSW box. I mean its' not surprising that this is happening. With the quality of reps nowadays and this insane secondary market its no wonder these things are so prevalent. Especially because they look legit. . I mean just look at what some people get caught wearing on fake_files IG. If those people are rocking those out and about giving 0 *****s why wouldn't these be no brainers to rock?

it's not always the case that the same factories making the reps also make the authentics...

and it doesn't matter how "mega perfect" reps get, they're still fake.

So if a replica shoe has the same materials, exact same colors and mold as authentics, it's still "fake" to you? Because I hate to break it to you but we're at that point. Maybe not all the way there with Yeezys but I could show you several of the "perfect" Jordans that are out there and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the reps and the authentics. I'd wager any amount of money on it. The only difference is where you buy them from. No longer the quality of the shoe.

dude, take this debate to the grey market thread.

they usually slip up and something is off, that's how the concords got exposed, the grey markets didn't have the milky toe, and other things were off...

try taking these "perfect" reps to flight club, they'll tell you why they're fake and won't take 'em.

i know some of the reps are actual grey market pairs and are being made after hours in the same factories (and some are not, some are straight up fake, not the same factories, or materials, like the yeezybay's), but at the end of the day, even if they get them perfect, if i know they're fake, i don't want them.

it comes down to personal integrity, whether you're a herb who wears and tries to stunt with fake stuff or not.

that's not me. never will be. i take pride in my AUTHENTIC sneaker collection (and everything else i collect).

even if nobody else knows my joints are fake, i know, and that's not cool with me.

would never taint my collection with fakes, period.

people like you is what's wrong with the sneaker culture these days.

it's sad. a few years ago, "sneaker heads" would never do this crap. the only people rocking fakes were those who don't love sneakers like that, and didn't know the difference, nor care.

 

[hennessy]

Here's the thing... These replicas are so good that unless you get a few feet from the person wearing them or hold them in your hands AND you know what the real ones look like down to every detail and know how to differentiate them you will not be able to tell the difference.

A lot of people in here sounding upset knowing that people are going to stunt with fake pairs. I'm not sure why that even matters because only teenage boys and sneakerheads are going to care about the authenticity of your yeezys (and they still shouldn't even care).

Let them fake it and just be true to yourself, or don't be.

I like what DJ Proto J said about personal integrity. That's really all it is.

 

[locobans]

DJ Proto repped brother....

I would never buy nor wear fakes period.

Personal integrity

 

[dj proto j]

i don't think people are upset people are going to stunt with fakes, people are disgusted with the idea of doing that.

big difference.

that's why i wouldn't even go up to someone and give them props for wearing solars, cuz you don't know if they're fake or not.

and 9.9 out of 10 people wearing fakes, if you went up to 'em and gave them props on their shoes, they wouldn't admit it and say "thanx, but they're fake"... they'd sit there and take the props, let you walk off thinking they were real, and feel good about themselves, and that is SO WACK to me. absolutely pathetic. you're not just wearing fakes, you're a fake person.

like i said, it's not about what other people think of me tho, it's what i think of me. and i am not cool with me wearing fakes, even if nobody ever knew.
