Honestly I feel the same way the only thing that gets me is that I’m spending my hard earned money on an expensive shoe, I’d want my 200+ purchase to be authentic
Yep. They’re both sweatshop products. I think the 11s are the ones that are hardest to copy..as long as you aren’t paying exorbitant prices for the bootlegs…
Honestly I care… Michael Jordan himself worked hard & earn my respect 🫡 the way he showed his work ethic. He said “Whatever You Do, Always Make Sure You Give Your All. Me buying reps is a spit in the face to him… & ion like that 💯
Imma OG and will definitely rock fakes bc these resell prices are murdering the sneaker game. I refuse to pay resell from this point fwd and will buy fakes on shoes i really really want.
Lol UA last longer my boy got a UA black cement 3 and they have lasted longer then his retail his retail started to separate first it depends on the factory I guess
5:58 Look under the bottom eyelets you can see the yellow underliner of the shoe above the tongue cage and toe box the yellow gets cut off in the real ones fake shoes yellow underliner is persistent
The fake sneakers are getting way too close, but there are still a lot where you can see the differences off the rip.. luckily for me, I hit my pairs on SNKRS.. the shock drop and on release day yesterday.. Y'all be careful with your shoe purchases!
I haven’t worn a pair of 4s since 5th grade in 1989-90 so I’m excited to get theses. Of course I’m dying to re-get the black/red/greys and the whites and blues that I had back then
I’ve been gotten. I’ve seen better fakes than reals, box in perfect condition and everything. After the sneakers get released about a month later they’re almost the exact same. The only way I can tell is the smell.
@leew5647 received multiple fakes from goat.. one being instant ship do just over it. I live in Portland oregon.. nike mecca! People can do whatever but my hard earned dollar will never be invested with those crooks
I’ve been got twice and it’s a bad feeling but at the end of the day authenticity comes down to trust and if you trust the person you are getting it from then you are going assume it’s real. I picked up two pairs today , one from finish line and one from footlocker I believe they are authentic because I trust those retailers. I’m sure you’ve gotten shoes from people that are not retailers but you believe the shoes are real because you trust the people that you got them from 🤷🏾
Seems like you can’t tell the difference for most of these fakes now unless you have a real one in hand to compare to, by that time you’ve already been got…
For fakes vs reals, would be best to take those insoles out, flip them over to also see the difference to help those that's another way to tell from fakes vs reals
Thanks for everything you do and godless! Again shoutout from the 305. But I wanna know how much did you pay for the fakes and where did you get them was it StockX? It would help to let it be known cause I got a pair of Adobes SB’s and I got them from eBay and even though they say they authenticate, I do still see all the tell signs on my pair. Let me know.
I thought the same when someone showed my a kith receipt and I pulled the inner shoe sole out and the square on the bottom was pressed in and not pressed out and smelled of terrible glue, strong order, they were great feel and reps or UAs.
Real and Fakes have the same smell. Just depends how the shoe was stored and the time since production. Most retail were made many months in advance compared to UA that are made and shipped immediately. Put a UA in the closet for 4 months and it will smell like retail.
Hate fakes. I think the shoe companies have to start using HOLOGRAM tags to the size label. It’s almost impossible to duplicate hologram tags. This has to stop. Why I don’t buy resale items.
I watched this when it came out and I received my pair today that passed the eBay verification but they are 100% fake, they have everything you show on the fake pair here. The smell is horrid glue, that was the main thing because i love the smell of new shoes and these make you sick smelling them. They even have one of the bottom yellow tabs raised not stitched in flush, the mesh webbing is a bit more plastic feeling and crinbly also not so comfy on the feet. So this is scary because they are passing verification tests and I payed re sale price. 😢 Makes me think I should be a working at the verification place as I could tell heaps of these details that make them fake, I can't believe they got verified, it's my fourth pair and only fake ones that have been eBay verified.
Quick question… I was able to cop the Thunder 4 this morning from Shoe Palace, got payment confirmation and then said they would ship it to me. Was super excited and then a couple hours later I get an email saying my order was cancelled and voided. WTF!?! I never cancelled it at all! Has this happened to anyone? I’m new to the whole sneaker game, but dang… so messed up. I emailed them an waiting for an explanation.
Ive got, got on the jordan SB4s, showed me a kith receipt, got them in the mail, had a strong odor, all looked legit but had to pull out the insoles and the square was pressed in and the air soles have the square and numbers pressed out and I knew I got fakes, reps or high quality UAs.
Good stuff I buy UAs all the time, great quality. I know you tubers get "early pairs" that are UA as well. No Judgement, just wish they would be honest. Just fyi all of them don't have that smell. Depends on who you get them from but usually from my connect I been getting them from for years they don't have that but I had some I got from others that do. Got the cherry 12s en route ❤
@@Hegotkickz no knock against you my man. Love the videos and respect the grind. I still watch your videos all the time and will continue to. You all good with me. 🙏
I don't buy fakes because I don't care enough about people to make me want to buy a fake pair just to fit in And I don't pay resell anymore. It was just too stressful worrying about if someone got me. Straight sneaker stores
I got a pair of 4s came in today from footlocker n been doing mad real v fake videos n they look legit to a T besides the smell it's just a little different? What y'all think anyone else?
Don't realize that when they get the fake they put it too gather that day so in like 2days your getting them and the Jordan brand one it was made a year in average so It has time too Air out that glue smell gone
Thank you for the knowledge! Great content! I wanted to say that you are discriminating though lol! You are giving away size 11s, what about us Bigfoot size 15s lol! Just kidding! Great content keep them coming! 😂👍
I cant tell the difference. The shoes are made overseas anyway. Ive got some af1 from nike dem jokers was flawed and nike sent them to me i dunno TFS 🤗
No one is going to know that fake. I have 2 fake pairs and my co worker who is also a sneaker head had no clue it was actually kinda funny. The fakes you can tell right when you put them on its wrong. Also the rubber on the bottom are faster at wearing down.
Fakes catching up to real is a good thing. It’s kills the manufactured scarcity that Nike gets off on.
The tables are turning.
I've got to the point where I'll rock both , like who really cares . The fit is what everyone really looking at.
Reps lookin clean.

@j Harris Jordan will never know who bought his shoes. Buying reps is still buying into his brand. In that case buy his jumpman brand.
Imma OG and will definitely rock fakes bc these resell prices are murdering the sneaker game. I refuse to pay resell from this point fwd and will buy fakes on shoes i really really want.
💯They better than prowings ain't they OG.
Reps tend to fall apart more often
🤣🤣I still can’t tell who’s really going to be looking like that Nike makes a lot of mistakes on there shoes as well 🤷🏽♂️😅
Quality…when the fakes start to fall apart people will know
Lol UA last longer my boy got a UA black cement 3 and they have lasted longer then his retail his retail started to separate first it depends on the factory I guess

The smell is not a dead give away. I have Nike pairs that smell like glue or acetone.
With reps the smell is very distinct, not just glue-like.
@@demetriusjames9535 they smell the same
@@QuinLIVE Well, not any that I have ever had in hand did...it was totally different than glue.
The fakes are so close that some people would go for it. The average person won’t know the difference.
Is this rep from flightkickz by any chance?
I haven’t worn a pair of 4s since 5th grade in 1989-90 so I’m excited to get theses. Of course I’m dying to re-get the black/red/greys and the whites and blues that I had back then

@@eyeofheru5677where from
I want the FAKE one so I can keep my deadstock 😂😂😂😂
Nike authorized retailer or skip for me.. never again will I buy from goat or stockx!
Why?
@leew5647 received multiple fakes from goat.. one being instant ship do just over it. I live in Portland oregon.. nike mecca! People can do whatever but my hard earned dollar will never be invested with those crooks
I hit on footlocker first W of the year lol. I also think that the Travis Scott’s are some of the best UAs I’ve seen. I couldn’t tell the difference.

I’ll never be “got” because if I can’t catch in a real and legit way it’s just not for me
You're not going to tell the difference if you have the real pair with you. But them "fakes" looking way better then the real pair lol.
I was able to get a gs pair at Finishline but my pair came defective
Seems like you can’t tell the difference for most of these fakes now unless you have a real one in hand to compare to, by that time you’ve already been got…
Is that JAY the sneaker guy on the TV 😂😂😂😂
For fakes vs reals, would be best to take those insoles out, flip them over to also see the difference to help those that's another way to tell from fakes vs reals
I agree, I was waiting to see the insoles and the stitching. 🤷♂️
Dese more difficult to figure out da UA nd da rill pair. Is it js me? but da back da shoe da UA is more fatter den da rill?

There are no fakes from Adobes because of the price,they still sitting in everywhere here in Europe
@@attilahuszar8139 Hopefully because I’ve seen fake pandas and all. Fake air forces and fake blazers.
Do you have the sb 4s? You should smell those, mine smelled strongly of glue and they're authentic.
I thought the same when someone showed my a kith receipt and I pulled the inner shoe sole out and the square on the bottom was pressed in and not pressed out and smelled of terrible glue, strong order, they were great feel and reps or UAs.
I got a pair today from Hibbett Sports. Color looked good but they definitely had a glue smell. Are the shoe stores selling fakes too?
No the smell test is just BS. Fakes are made in the same factories and country as the "real" ones
That’s why I order on the sneakers app
Real and Fakes have the same smell. Just depends how the shoe was stored and the time since production. Most retail were made many months in advance compared to UA that are made and shipped immediately. Put a UA in the closet for 4 months and it will smell like retail.
These fakes are getting crazy still don’t see myself copping them tho
No cap I can’t tell this is one of those I have to be in person kinda thing for me.

Why do you hate reps bruh 😂
Where did u buy the fake ones? I can't afford real ones
I just bought a pair on stock x they came from Japan you think they fake?
I have a real (off of sneakers) and fake pair of 4’s and I know what to look for and you can’t tell them apart. Crazy!
Where can u buy the fakes???

@@ShortChizel31 thanks for letting me know… will have to try a bunch of places, even if I hit on one, just in case something like this happens again.
I ordered it from stadium goods, ant they also has a smell of glue 😣
Thanks for the video. Those are 1 to 1. Just buy retail only
Mine is out for delivery right now!!!!!!!¡
Them UNC 5s this year smelled like got glue 😂😂
Where I get janky jays like these 😂
How much are the fakes going for? 50% to 60% of retail price?
Crazy thing is it’s the first pair of Jordans I ever bought
Ive got, got on the jordan SB4s, showed me a kith receipt, got them in the mail, had a strong odor, all looked legit but had to pull out the insoles and the square was pressed in and the air soles have the square and numbers pressed out and I knew I got fakes, reps or high quality UAs.
Odor or order? 🤔
Or clones.
U can tell the box is off also in color
That’s why I’ll only buy retail
Really can’t tell the difference off hand
If Jay-z, Beyoncé, solange, p-diddy, and mike Rich revealed that they wore fakes, would that change the game?
Not for real ones! And why you clumping my guy Rich in with them people? 🥴
Bro i hit on everything got to many pairs now🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣
Definitely got those from StockX glad I caught mines on snkrs 🔥
bro talks about heights while he ordered dif size
Glad I got a retail pair
There's gonna be a ton fakes running around on people's feet, especially with youtubers hyping up goat and stockx lol
