“Leather” on the toe box is almost always cut too high on replica dunks. Most people will never be able to tell.

Authentic dunks already get the worst materials avail. Plastic synthetics, glue stains and overall poor QC. The panda dunk is the suburban teenage white girl staple.

If you want QUALITY. Jordan 1 reps come with premium leathers and the manufacturing process for reps on these was perfected years ago

Re sell market crashed about 8 months ago. Less demand due to economic conditions. Jordan 1 also has 0 hype anymore unless it’s an OG colorway or a hyped Collab.
Nice! I’m byke and about to feast! :blessed:

Chrome 6s still at retail price

I have a fresh Lloyd Banks SnapBack that’ll match those:lolbron:

im leaning towards getting retail moonlight 5s now, but i might get military 4 reps in the future though. they look exactly like retail

Counterfeits kept some people's pockets full as broke college students:sas1:. Making 4 to 5 times your money off one bag or sneaker... Same profits as drugs but without all the jail time:sas2:.
