You taking a gamble with reps though. You really don't know what you're getting and at the end of the day with all of those sites, you get what you pay for. You buy some jordans for $58.00 they may look like shyt and they will give you the :mjpls: if you try to complain.

The real problem is wanna be "sneaker heads" over inflating the market and the companies that only release a limited supply of shoes. And a lot of these shoes are (mainly jordans) are replica's in itself but nikkas will cop for $175 and resell them for $400 and $500.

That's an automatic no-no....:mjlol:

The thing is the real and fake joints are made in the same plants...

nikkas in the plant prolly stealing and then sell them on the black market

or whoever running the plant uses leftover material and tries to make it work as best as possible:francis:

I copped 2 pairs of the KG foams from this site years back..

1 fell apart:yeshrug:
the other one is actually in good condition..:dwillhuh:

nike has no idea wtf goes on:heh:

They're not made at the same plants. People flock from all over China to look for work. The people with the highest skill sets go work for the legit manufactures. The ones that didn't make the cut get scooped up and go work for underground spots that make reps. In some cases the material is the same but the craftsmanship is doo doo.

This isn't always true, as I've had some replicas actually hold up better with little to no flaws appearance wise compared to the actual legitimate shoes of the same style, plus many of the authorized name brand manufacturing plants have major production quotas to meet company supply demands, so the product quality isn't always up to par & can vary from factory to factory, shoe to shoe.

:mjlol: They not even trying to hide who thier target market is anymore. Either that or they simply keeping it 100 by not only replicating goods but the lingo as well. :dead:

Actually the site is named for oh boy Ratchet. He gets a pair of all of their shoes and reviews them. He's 100 with the reviews too. Follow him on IG.

Once I hit 30, I felt like I was too old to wait in lines and do all the foolish you have to do today to get shoes. Most of these new sneakerheads didn't grow up in the culture that made these shoes hot like I did. I aint mad, I'm just gracefully getting the fukk on. There's a few shoes I like that come out every now and then and I grab them. I have know problem with replica nowadays, as long as they look good.

I try to rock shyt nobody else rock. Or get a shoe that I like AFTER the hype wears out and it's no longer in "style" Once you stop following trends your cloths never look dated.

Real talk G. I got classic gear that I've rocked 5, 6 winters in a row and still fresh.
