    Yo, Floss. You a real one for uploading something like this. The points you bring up in this video is why I refuse to pay ridiculous amounts of money for cheaply made shoes on the aftermarket apps. I own 4 pairs of reps (UNC 1s, J1 85 Varsity Red and 2 Neutral Grey 85s) and the quality on them is A1. I've gotten compliments wearing em out to work or the gym and people are surprised when I tell em they're reps lol. As someone who is still new in the sneaker game, if I can't hit on something retail (and I have lots of success actually), I can just hit one of my plugs up and they got me lol. It's all about spending money wisely, you're exactly right. And I'd love to see more videos like this from you.

    Floss is 100% right. I been tryin to tell my boys this but they act like it's some sort of sin to be rockin reps. Meanwhile I'm wearing every shoe I've ever wanted whenever and they just gotta shoe other people the picture of them in the glass case they keep on they closet 💀.
    Especially working in a healthcare setting where there's always a potential of being blood or other random body fluids on my shoes reps are a must!

    I seen the Red October at the Nike outlet for $80 years ago..round the holidays after their release. I have regrets for not pickin em up. I've been searching around for a good rep sight. I dropped $140 on some Cactus Jack Jordan 1's on another sight and they were utter garbage. Thanks for the lead!

    I never knew replicas looked that good. I've always bought legit and then wear them. 90's Jordans, Rodman's, Scotties, Penny's and Barkley's. Absolutely love 90's kicks. Looking to change it up and buy some Shaqs if I can find them in the black and blue.

    I've seen crazy fakes like the Travis Scott 1s. Side by side, it's almost impossible to distiguish them apart besides the box. I have nothing against fakes but selling fakes as the real deal is the issue I have against. Hell I have a fake pair of Yeezy 2s and no one can tell the difference.
