according to this video, even big box retailers are adding fakes into their stock (that's f'n scary)
 
interesting concept about making their own brand. 
Never even crossed my mind

I rarely ever buy sneakers anymore and I don't miss it one bit

maybe 2-3 pairs a year if that now and it's usually Nike SB stuff that I can get at retail or below

Only pair of kicks I want/been wanting are low top Concords. And Spacejams as well since I regret selling mine a few years ago.
 
there is no gray market.... its all done in the same place...

back door deals overtime production equals todays marketplace.. its quite simple...

nike/jordan lowered the quality of materials used therefore it has become easier for knockoffs to pass as authentic because its using the same materials.. slightly different cuts but overall 98 percent exact same shoe...

10 years ago knockoffs were so bad they were literally an eyesore from a black away,,,, now u gotta smell the inside of the sneaker to find out if its legit.. lol


havent bought a pair of NIKES in 2 years or so..

want to buy some knicks foams but ill wait til they go down a bit.. they're sitting hard...

Most of these new retro color ways would've been or probably made as variants back in the early 2000s. Lol.
 
Not sure if fakes are stepping up or nike/jordan's quality going down.
 
couldn't care less. about ten years ago this would have annoyed me; now it's lightweight comical that adjectives like 'scary' and 'terrifying' are being thrown around in here. they're all made by using the same shady practices anyway. i haven't bought some kicks in years and i hardly ever wear athletic shoes. still rock the black and red foams that i copped in 11.
 
Jordans coming out with remastered line higher quality to combat the gm market tho we good


Just have to pay 200 before taxes :lol: jordans are a joke now
 
Quality of kicks have definetly gone down. Every air max model I've had since 06 360 have popped on me. Even casual/leather ones pop. And these were purchased nt, eastbay, ..etc

This is what blows my mind, the same kicks cars were getting clowned for back in the day are dropping in retail locations and selling out.

The "remastered" collection is like a slap to the face for everyone who bought the "we didn't care" poor people models Jordan is dropping now :lol:


Literally all the shoes kids "collect" now are garbage and Jordan brand pretty much admits to it

only pair I regret are my Carmines just because they were my 1st pair of Jordans as far as J's go

Dunk SB's would be Supa's, my grail :smh:
