Uncle Martian bootleg of Under Armour vol Chinese did it again

You think counterfeit products are exactly the same as authentic? You think you're just paying extra for marketing? And you calling OTHER people gulible. See how long those fake jordans last on the court. See how long before you need a new pair of fake beats headphones.

You are what companies dream about. That clueless retailer who pays ridiculous sums of money for something because of the brand. An imitation shoe can be the same or higher quality. You do realize there is no actual difference there right? What you are paying for is Curry to advertise it, billboards, movie spots, etc etc. At least with phones (such as iPhone) there is ancillary reasons like the apps available, compatibility with other devices etc.

I really gotta learn how to capitalize on peoples need for validation.

I read comments like that and it makes me realize how easy it is for people to like Trump, buy $200 shoes, etc.

not really true, at least on some major sportswear company like adidas and nike they also doing research to find new tech, material, component to make some kind ground breaking new performance sneakers and don't forget they actually pay designers to design their apparel not just copy from others
 
those expensive shoes arent much different than your 15 brands. trust me, i hooped in expensive nikes/jordans and in starburys and there was 0 difference
would not be surprised if they are made in the same factories with same materials

I think for shoes they pretty much are the same. Shoes are shoes...it's not like the counterfeit is made out of drastically different materials. Stuff like headphones is way different. For Beats of course you are paying tons for marketing. There are plenty of other good headphones out there at a much lower price point.

The way I see it: in a blind test of consumers would people be able to tell the difference between a $200 pair of headphones (beatsnpowerbeats) and a $85 pair if the test is done properly (e.g., have them rank 5 headphones). My guess is no.

Who said I buy all those brand names? I don't buy/wear jordans, nor do I care for flashy logos.

I just think it's wrong to support counterfeit goods when you can just buy something else that is actually in your pricerange instead and support a real company. Let's take the Rolex example. If I want a Rolex but can't afford one I'm not gonna look for a replica Rolex, I'm gonna look for another more affordable watch, such as a Seiko. Why would I support counterfeit goods if there's so many other options from actual legitimate companies? If I like Beats headphones but don't want to spend that much I'm not gonna buy some bootleg beats, I'm gonna look for legitimate cheaper options such as Skullcandy.

The counterfeit market is the epitome of vanity. People crave that expensive brand logo/prestige so much they're willing to buy inferior counterfeit goods when they could just get a cheap and better alternative from a real brand instead.

I'm sure there's some people who buy counterfeit goods because they simply really like the look but can't afford it but let's not act like 99% of them aren't trying to fake stunt.
