You can’t tell the difference with good reps unless you have the authentics side by side then you still have to look at it close up and analyze it.

Plus they are cheaper than retail price or close to it and aren’t bad quality materials either.

I wouldn’t buy reps personally, I just wouldn’t get the shoe honestly.

Are you surprised by the price of reps or the amount I paid for the shoes?....thats retail bruh....Like I said some people have it and some don't.... :manny: ....but in this area of TheColi alot of you don't have a clue....
The secret is to buy replicas of kicks that don't have the logos on them, that are more casual. At least that's what I do.

we got to stop acting like these reps dont look good. i understand not wanting to rock them out of a sense of tradition and on some level to limit accessibility to others. i fully understand that. i get that. but lets not act like the shoes look bad. the game has changed and it has changed forever. you walk down the street somebody got on some heat you have no way of knowing he is rocking a rep or retails anymore. thats just the new reality and it will never go back to being the same.



read the comments its some sneakerheads acting like you lost if you still cop retail. not saying i support that attitude but that is to say this is the way the sneaker game is going. reps are like peds its even established sneakerheads supplementing their rotations through rep use and achieving better results in this modern era.
