When I worked at FootAction in college my manager would let me get any shoes drop I wanted. Whenever we got a shipment of shoes we literally picked out what we wanted and threw the rest onto the sales floor. 😂😂
Mike, thank you for keeping it real and giving the proper education and responsible financial influence with your content lately. Real talk I rock with all this info that you’re producing and I think it’s needed especially in today’s society and the new generation of growing young teenagers and kids around. “Money buys everything, stop trying to keep up with the jonas.” “RUN IT.” ❤
I know a lot of the big youtubers and I can confirm that they do just buy it early from GOAT / Stockx and pay premiums just to make the content. Its a smart business decision as the views they get from the early videos and the Ad revenue is usually more that the premium they spent on the shoe. I personally don't watch sneaker reviews from youtubers who get shoes early mainly because I know these guys don't really care about the shoes and just do this to pay their bills.
I have no doubt that a lot of big TH-camrs have connections or buy from StockX etc. But there a few that have bought fakes for sure. Richie Lie for example, has a video on an early look at the Travis Scott Air Max 1 Wheat, and there’s a color difference on the midsole. And I’m not talking subtle, I mean a part of the midsole is dark brown when on retail it is all a much lighter shade of brown throughout the shoe.
You’re the REAL deal bro! Keep putting your content out because what you do can’t be bought with money. I used to have 50 pairs plus but my soon to be X wife made me sell them off. She would always poke fun at me saying “Your in your 30’s and how immature are you for buying damn shoes?”. And I’d always feel guilty and sell them off and give her the money from them. I had collected them since high school. I don’t drink or do drugs or gamble. It was always like a hobby to me and I love Jordan’s. Now in my late 40’s this year since I left her I have been trying to get some Jordan’s back. It’s been a rough year medically for me and they bring me a sense of pride, as weird as that may seem to people. I am praying Feb 17 (my bday) that I can score a size 13 Jordan Bred 4 Reimagined. I had a OG pair years ago and gave them to a neighbour that loved mine. He had no shoes to play basketball in. Here in Canada we don’t have the SNKRS app and shoes that are rare are hit and miss. But enough about me! Your channel rocks bro
I was about to say, most creators that I’m familiar with literally just bite the bullet and buy on goat or stockx because they are content creators and having the sneaker first is big for content and as you explained can pay for itself with the content you make. You got me with the beginning man 😂😂
I was back dooring back when i was in high school lol i used to go to footlocker in the mall ask the manager if they got the new jordans in the back he would be like they aint out yet thats when you tell him ill give you 200 lmao but that was when jordans were 125
Jay the Sneaker Guy got early pairs of reimagined 4’s. Then He Shared a pair with He got Kicks and Mike Rich borrowed that pair and returned that pair to He got Kicks. Sometimes it’s about who you knew
Even if you not a TH-camr/Celebrity, just a normal person and you get a early pair authentic, people will say ain't no way they real they fake, they not even out yet. Bro I remember that video when you had a lot of white Cement 4s back in 2016, I was like did he really win so many raffles 😂.
Honestly the word "Fake" gotta be canceled outta sneaker culture everybody just got they own factories they cop from simple And most these sneaker stores do sell b grades you just gotta know ya batches
When I worked at The Finish Line I know we got shoes early before releases. Not sure how long but these days I do see Reps available months before the release dates so I did wonder how they got them. I'm thinking they have to be made so they can be packaged and shipped to the retailers but I don't fully understand. I thought that some have to be buying Reps and showing them online. For the ones that have stores and tons of boxes on the floor already, I'm curious about them too.
Backdoor is also the other way people get pairs early from a legitimate retailer with a Nike & Jordan Account. I also know a Tier-Zero Retailer who backdoors every hot release. No one stands an honest chance from cop'n the "good releases" from these type of retailers. Only legit retailer is a LIVE/RISE Nike Store or Brand Experience Nike Store.
Before I click the video I was like I feel like they buy fakes that’s how they can review early and literally the first couple of seconds you said it. 😭
Thanks you I swear they be having fake ass shoes 🤣like how you only have 40k subs 5k subs 1k subs and ppl with over 1m don’t even have em that early but them reps always come out early 😂😂
I think the bigger ones like break have straight connections and flight academy kick’z he definitely have connections I believe one of marcus jordan gifted him 🏆 rooms
@@ASneakerLife nope, after I herd you say trollin yall I felt hurt and tuned out bro, I was looking forward to hearing tonyd2lost copin and promoting fakes right after that speech that’s all 😎.

You definitely need a podcast Mike and i think u should make one and talk ur shit about sneakers and life

another youtuber playin dumb. China man dan is faster and cheaper. why pay more.

china man dan is faster and cheaper than stock x. so why buy from them? remember we tryna pay off this credit card debt. make it make sence.

the real question is. u think they paying 150 for reps or 350+ on stock x??????? use your brain and wallet.
3:50 it’s different when you hear it from other people or strangers
Great video Mike!
Thanks!
Drop a pod cast mike, that more of your style

Watching before it gets taken down
Before I click the video I was like I feel like they buy fakes that’s how they can review early and literally the first couple of seconds you said it. 😭
100% correct my man. its not like we would be able to tell anyway.
Great feedback, keep’n it real 👊🏼
Bro you cant tell me some ppl fake shoes to do reviews early
Yessuh anotha banger 🫡🔥
Money is the key facts bro 💯
Please Please do a podcast….that would be so dope!
Intro was hard bro!😂
thanks 😂
the intro was true.
Also I’m assuming u guys jus buy early pairs off goat or wutever at insanely high prices
or they buy it for 150 from china man dan? its not like they will admit it.
Thanks you I swear they be having fake ass shoes 🤣like how you only have 40k subs 5k subs 1k subs and ppl with over 1m don’t even have em that early but them reps always come out early 😂😂
In for a Sneaker Life podcast! 💯🔥
Podcast would be dope, ya got that podcast voice.
I think TH-camrs can write off the shoes as a business expense too. 🤔
Correct!
2024 "Year of Truth "
Tax deductible as well if they have things set up correctly
I think the bigger ones like break have straight connections and flight academy kick’z he definitely have connections I believe one of marcus jordan gifted him 🏆 rooms
I have always suspected that some review Rep's!
Most buy reps others pay a kidney for the real thing…
why u think they dont do Legit checks. lol
