I cant find any info and searched everywhere.. hopefully you can help. If you fold the backtab, is there supposed to be letters on the shoe? Not on the back tab itself, but on the shoe. You just need to fold the backtab to expose it. Mine has HS on them.
I wonder if you rock one retail and one rep if it would be noticeable to the average eye? I know a sneaker head could prob spot the differences immediately if they stop you and examine them for 2 sec. but what about at a distance while it’s being worn and moving?
Not something I would wanna do but that would show you how similar or 1:1 they are. Shit I could barely tell the difference while watching this comparison video. First 2 minutes I honestly thought the reps were retail and visa versa. I have the real white cement 4s never worn (other than 5 minutes on my carpet in front of the mirror) so I’m looking to buy the best reps available to wear and keep the real ones pristine. Gonna get the real bred 4s soon and same I want some reps to rock and so on and so forth as I grow my collection.
I have the winterized 4s (aka the poor man’s Eminem 4s) but i wouldn’t get those reps (doubt they even make them. But idk everything gets pirated nowadays) I rock those as my daily beaters and they’re actually going up in price. Size 12 was almost 400 last time I checced. New or good condition/barely worn
Even if you wore the reps and a sneaker head examined them they wouldn’t be able to tell cause remember Jordan 4 “bred” or “black cement” as they say has been released multiple times. They wouldn’t even be able to tell what year the ones you are wearing are from unless they owned the older years and so forth. Also, the color black hides a lot of flaws!
That’s how you do it. A lot of people don’t believe me but many resellers do exactly what you’re saying about keeping the authentic on ice and wear the reps instead
That air bubble is not a good way to tell. I have retail pairs i bought from credible sources and they have 2 pillars or whatever in the air bubble. So thats not a good way to tell most times
The only difference between the shoes is the price that they were bought for, but other than that they look identical no one could really and honestly nobody is really going to get on all 4s and start inspecting every single detail on your shoe that wierd ASF unless your shoe looks like a really really bad Knock OFF.
