A brief look at the differences between retail Adidas Yeezy V2 and the replica version. #yeezy #adidas #sneakerhead Follow on IG @jacob.marcellus This is for educational purposes only.
Bro your so right, that's why this is so funny to me. it's all made in China. I'm going to pay 3x the amount just to use the sneakers in a year to paint my house or use as a gym shoes. 😄 Woman have been using replica LV for decades now. Now guys have replica to wear. Wear what you want!
Hi_ Pierre yea made in China , not where in China tho lmao it comes down to qc, they look good but I wonder how shit the glue is in 100+ degree wheather, shit rubber like it looks great but the fakes don’t last all the time . Point blank they didn’t come from the addidas factory so who knows what your actually going to get it’s risky
Daniel Lewis they all come from the adidas factory it’s just that some lucky sellers buy em straight from the factory and that’s why they sell em for cheaper
Phylicia Sadler that’s a no brainer . We all know that they’re made in China . Just because they’re made in a certain demographic doesn’t mean they’re made equally.
Pffffft... Because I'm not a Yeezy-head, I tell you right now throughout the whole video, I kept gettin' mixed up - them boyz across the way doin' they job! Thanks for the review!
@@JacobMarcellus nothing to sneaze at .. there made in the same factorys. If you cop the best 1:1 quality of UAs you basically cutting out the big retail "middle men" and getting the same shyt
Thank's for the video! I thought there was no hope but that UV light brought it all back and now I'm less stressed about getting my incoming StockX order next week. I'll just have to grab a UV light to get rid of any paranoia ahah
My original V2 cream/white drops copped on Adidas have a bit of some glue/adhesive on the sole also, the authentic pairs do have flaws also, these reps been getting better and better, nearly a true 1:1, I’d go .8:1 lol, great review
Reps are literally the same now lmao, the funny part is with backdoor and rep factories getting better/producing for adidas, all shoes look handmade cuz they are, and carry mistakes.
Because of you I just ordered a portable black light😄🤣 I hit a deal with a sneaker head but I told him to wait till i get paid (I got money!) But I'm coming with that black light tomorrow. Thank God for Amazon prime.
@@JacobMarcellus thank you for this review brotha! This is the realest one that made a lot of sense. BTW. Do the fake ones also have the back part of the shoe going at a angle? Because I hear that the back part of the fake there's no angle that cuts sideway
I just got scammed on Grailed and IF they do switch the box, the UPC code on the box should match the UPC code inside the shoe tag. Also when the box sticker says EPC Inside that means the tag on the shoes should have the RFID chip inside the tag. you will see wires if you hold a flashlight to the hang tags. Found this out because I think someone put fakes shoes in a real box and tried to get me.
The main thing I see on fakes is the “adidas” on the size tag, the “R” symbol touches the “s” in adidas, or its placement isn’t correct. Take a close up photo and compare the two.
Mmmm Scrumptious It’s not about being broke. Some of us don’t want to pay a unrealistic amount of money for a freaking shoe A SHOE. Some fakes are exactly the same as the real ones so why not buy them? They are Yeezys just like the real ones if they are exactly the same. It’s not like Kanye has to bless the shoe or something to make it “real” one day reps won’t be a big deal because everyone will give up on distinguishing between shoes. People go so far to see if shoes are fake and it’s a bit stupid to be honest...fakes are even made in the same country as the real ones...
That doesn't even really matter, cause I've got a few retail pairs of 350's with crooked pull tabs... Just factory flaws man - they're hand sewn on... Matter of fact, I've even seen fake pairs with better quality than the retails, soooo... lol... 🤷♂️
keep the fake and real in the same spot ...top/bottom would be helpful..or label..it gets a little confusing with the switching. Thanks for the info. scary how good the fakes are
I bought mine for 140 dollars on black friday knowing it was obviously fake. Unless I happen to have a black light I would not be able to confirm if these are real if I didn't know how much I spent and how long it took for it to ship here from china.
Great video... The light made it much easier to figure out the Fake from the Real.. Other than that, the fake is an excellent replica and both made in China 😂
I got mines off eastbay and was worried at first. Thought maybe someone switched them out. My insole was folded at the front like someone didn't put it in correctly. Hope I was just a factory flaw.
Phylicia Sadler regardless of what they say the UV light shows the differences between the shoes . I know where both shoes came from because I purchased them. Retail and counterfeit pair. Period
@@JacobMarcellus regardless of what they say?! These people actually speak for the brand. Regardless of what you say the black light test doesn't mean anything.
Phylicia Sadler your lying 🤥, Nike knows there brand and would never tell you that! You must be a reseller and your losing business. The glow is proof that it’s fake period! Im tried of people taking a vantage of other people hard earned money.
Eugene Smith he’s not Misleading no one! He’s absolutely correct. You must also be a reseller and it’s hurting your business! Jacob is bringing light to the sneaker community. Your comment is the most ignorant, comment I ever read. 1 Word of advice, just stop watching his page!
Real and fake are both made in china. Using pretty much the same process. The real ones sell out online in 30 seconds and ppl only buy them to flip them to suckers for 2x-5x the price. The reps are readily available for less and in every style at all times. While I'd love to own a real pair I'm not going to camp outside a shoe store or pay $500 for them.
Nah. The black light shows that the fakes have a cheap adhesive. Might only last you 6 months. And comfort is questionable. Always go for the real. Find your plug.
You can clearly tell by the 3m on that back inside of the heal the fakes are like a shiny plastic that are not lifted from the material the real will be like a Matt finished it glows in the dark and is raised slightly from the material
wrcallofduty82 i have good reps and they are very comfortable I’ve never worn real ones but in assuming they’re similar. Super cushiony. I see no reason why you should get real ones honestly. Just try to find good reps and never pay more than retail ever
If you look at the box sticker, in the bottom right of the sticker, it will say V03 or on older pairs, V02, on a real pair. This is one of the easier ways to spot real and fake yeezys. This is true for tags that have three number sizes, not six (European tags). On a European tag, I’m fairly certain it should say V10. Also, looking at the heel of the boost from the side, real ones are rounded better.
Damn the fake ones looked really good but what gave them away is the insoles the adidas logo looked kinda ugly on the fake pairs that's the major difference I've noticed on the comparison...
Stitching inside the fakes are bad compared to the real ones idk if anyone peeped 👀 lines on the sole in the back of the fakes look like they’re going straight up the real ones not so much
Fakes have a little smaller strings. I also have a real pair I copped from stock x and a fake I got from dh gate so similar to mine. But your fakes are a little better than mine. Where do you purchase your fakes and how do you get a perfect box from china. My fakes the box looked like it rolled off a bluff . Good video my dude..!!
@@JacobMarcellus DH gate doesnt suck, I have a legit connect I use all the time. You just have to talk to the right people and honestly pay a lil more $ like $80-$130 for a very good pair.
Sometimes the "fake" one has better qualities. Not all fakes are trash quality. BM Lin or GooseMasterKim make good reps near 1:1 for less than $60. Plus, if people have to be on their hands and knees to tell they're fakes, they probably aren't bad fakes and they didn't spend a fortune on em.
If can't directly distinguish the difference between fake Yeezy sneakers and real Yeezy sneakers, then I am more willing to buy Yeezy sneakers at www.topsneakerstore.com/, after all, the quality is the same as real Yeezy sneakers. The price is even cheaper.
@Mmmm Scrumptious No he's woke. people who buy fakes see the world like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yjw_DuNkOUw.html Idiots who pay resale dont know they are living in a capitalist regime!
Is really hard to know which one is real for me, i think they even used the same materials to made the shoes. Which made me think, the fake one is not that bad, these are just shoes. Or damn, i just bought a pair of real and a pair of fake, then i wear real “right” side and “fake” left side, so i got 2 pairs of it
I don’t have a problem with people wearing fakes just I do have a problem when they call them “real” when they’re really fake. And selling fakes for the real price is just messed up I got scammed for 150$ on some fake yeezys. Overall if someone has fakes you can’t do nothing about it so honestly it’s whatever. Awesome vid though!
Man this is crazy, I've owned both and to tell you the truth it didn't matter which pair i had on i still recieved compliments. Everyone will have an opinion at the end of the day, for me personally i think the people that resell the yeezys and make good profits will always protect that side of things verses the people that like the replicas and they both have their perks. People will say man you sold someone those fake shoes that you only paid 40 to 60 dollars for, not knowing that there are different levels of replicas. You get what you pay for in my opinion. I also read in here in the comments that some replicas are aroundbthe same as the retail price which is true, i think it depends on where and who you buy them from is what makes a big difference. Everyone here has a point on where the are coming from, i feel that the authentic ones are very expensive and i try to get a pair every now and then if they drop something i like, but the hella majority of the time i never get lucky so i have someone that i can buy the replicas from and i don't mind because the quality is just as good as the authenic and as long as he told me what they were i knew at that point what i was buying "replica" so for me and me only i wad cool so to each its on.
