The game has changed. I can tell a lot of you guys age just reading here by your comments. If I don't get something for retail I just don't buy it.
You aren't a sneakerhead if you wear fake kicks, stop with all these excuses and silly logic. Like watch a sneaker doc, youtube some OG sneaker heads, wearing fake kicks does not make you a sneakerhead, it is not apart of the culture. You can't redefine it to your liking, your "membership" is null and void if you've willingly purchase and/or sell fake kicks.
You are more hypebeasts than sneakerheads if just because the resell value is out of your reach you buy a fake version. Have some dignity fellas, if you stop spending your money with resellers and the Chinamen selling these fakes the market will die and Nike will have to adjust accordingly. The culture is tainted now crazy.

This is more fitting for you folks wearing fake kicks. Find a new hobby please.
I'm sorry man. Just stumbled upon it read the first few pages and got sad.Shouldn't have revived this thread.. Now all the hypebeasts are going to comment false statements about why they believe these fakes to be real.. If they haven't learned now they probably never will...
True dat'.. It's gonna be a sad day for a few when the walk in FC or somewhere with what they think is $20,000 worth of heat in a trash bag an walk out with $500 worth of grass cutting kicks in the same trash bag..hahahaThe kids with the fakes will realize they ****** up when they're tired of collecting and they try to sell their kicks and they realize theyre collection of bootlegs have ZERO resell value cause they're fake. They'll believe it then.
Get sold a pair of fakes that the seller is claiming are 100% legit from Nike and u find out they're fake and can't get your money back. See how u feel about fakes then. Majority of folks dealing with fakes are trying to pass them off as legits. And its mostly resellers ripping off the young crowd or the uneducated older crowd with the $100 fakes and double and tripling their money.Why knock somebody down just because they buy GM shoes? Honestly I can careless if someone rocks unauthorized or fakes or whatever you want to call them. It's just irritating when people on this thread act like they're above the people who DO wear and buy shoes that don't directly come fro nike.
I've never bought a pair of GMs or fakes or whatever but I really don't care if you wear them or not. As long as you don't try to pass them off as authentic it's all good in my eyes.

Unfortunately those people are in the minority big time. And to them I say why don't u jus buy some legit shoes with that money instead of a buying a replica. For the money these folks pay for the HQ fakes they could easily buy themselves a pair of brand new legit nike/air jordan shoes directly from nike. I'd respect a dude much more who rocks some Jordan True Flights than some poser rockin some bootleg bred 11s. I don't get buying bootlegs under any circumstances but who am I to tell someone else how to spend their own money. Jus my take.I get what you're saying and trust me it's happened to me. That's why I don't do deal with anybody I don't know or don't cop shoes off of ebay. We're in a age of time where people just don't give a **** and would do anything for a buck like what happened to you.
I'm not with people selling fakes as legits. I'm just saying, if you acknowledged they're fakes and you are cool about it and just rock em why not?

Want me to link all the Instagram pages of kids with big cartels of "Authentic" kicks. This is the culture now. It is flooded with Fakes. When NDC FL EB etc sell out quick where do you think the hypebeasts are going?Why knock somebody down just because they buy GM shoes?

I believe most of those young kids really believe their shoes are real and are being scammed and lied to by whoever they buy from. Unless those 14 year olds are posting pics saying "look how cool my super perfect replicas are" which they arent cause they would get made fun of. But I've also seen some videos on YouTube of youngsters who knowingly buy reps straight from the rep sites and know what's what. And i can respect that I guess. At least he knows what he's buying and isn't paying a middle man bootleg reseller extra $$ for no reason.Why does it annoy you so much? Let those kids post whatever they want it isn't harming you is it?
Who cares if a 14 year old is posting fakes on IG flexing. Does it harm you in anyway?

Would you buy a fake car? Wear a fake Rolex? Drink fake milk?
Why would you buy fakes if you are not making people believe they are real?
And yes they do have fake milk in china.
DB Foams, Red Octobers are a deal compared to resell but you are still spending over $500 on the replicas. So that isn't wasting money?No I wouldn't buy fake shoes or fske watches or whatever the deal is. The thing is some people just don't want to buy a pair of shoes for 700 dollars when you can get one for 200 with the same materials (I'm not trying to defend any GM shoes or whatever) I'm just going from what people say that buy unauthorized and from the videos I watch.
Some people just don't want to waste so many money on a pair of sneakers. You can't blame them.
All true man, I want Royals BAD but I rather not cut corners. When you have been collecting sneakers for some time its just instilled in you. Wear good ish. It is tempting but even the reason the thread was started is for reassurance. "Oh if he says its ok to wear fake kicks then I will buy fake kicks" It's on us to keep the community loyal to the roots.I was looking at some of the unauthorized shoes and I've seen reviews and all of that and the quality is actually pretty decent. If you think about it most of the unauthorized are the same as the retail pairs. Yes they're technically fakes because they're made without nikes knowledge. But they use the same materials and are constructed the same from what people have told me and from what I've seen.

There is ABSOLUTELY ZERO proof of fakes being made with the same materials as the legit pairs and are being constructed the same. U can't trust a review from someone who is selling the product.I was looking at some of the unauthorized shoes and I've seen reviews and all of that and the quality is actually pretty decent.
