Yes where can I get some UA's from. I'm tired of having to hope to hit on these apps. Plus I'm a real working man and it would be great to get them for my wife and two children at a cheaper price. PLEASE HELP
Bro I’m glad you did this your trying to tell people just like the dude MK once these big companies have your trust it’s over for you and they bussin you in ya head 😂😂
@@TheSolution4Kickz I need to speak with you. I would rather keep my $ in the Country I live in. That simple. Only if you are willing sir. Mikesns@sbcglobal.net
THIS!!!! This generation doesn’t realize that the brick and mortar stores are here to make money and present the HYPE. This is where I used to get ALL my Jordans when my pops went to Korea on tour when the Starter brand was on and poppin. I’ve known UA products are Authentic for years! Thank you for clarifying this. The only thing left for you to do is.....research. This goes for clothes and food and everything we buy as consumers.
You're welcome! Read some of the comments. All they want are links to sites but refuse to gain a further understanding on what's going on out here because they want to parts of researching the very issue they have with this.
💯 but I do want you all to look into this on your own as well. I think you will gain a deeper appreciation of this once you uncover a lot of this stuff on your own as it will be your first hand knowledge.
sheeesh i learned a lot. I actually just bought my 1st pair of UAs because I got tired of taking Ls on releases. This makes me feel even better about my purchase 👍🏾
I will always try and get sneakers for retail on release dates but if i cant get em cuz now a days is super hard to get i will go the IA way cuz im never paying crazy resale prices hell na
Coming thru and showing luv bro and keep it up bro 💯 GREAT VIDEO More of us need to keep putting the truth out 💯 🔥🔥I’m making a final part 3 of my UA SERIES and if they don’t wanna hear it still/it’s on their pockets my guy 🤷♂️🤘⚡️💯🔥💯🔥 But all we trying to do is push TRUTH ✅
Nothing but facts brother... back in 2008 I was running around hustle UA sneaker to all my Local barbers out here on Long Island, NY.. They new what they were buying the local sneaker spots were buying them at wholesale from me and would resale them. They got a new subscriber!!
It was same in the shops back Baltimore and the surrounding counties in 2013-2014. Dudes would come in with bags with kicks in them. I wasn't heavy into retro J's just yet but there were two dudes moving a shaking I know of.
Nah bro, mids are trash lol. Its just the way they colorblock the shoes, I agree mids can be fire if colorblocked properly, but they never colorblock them the same as the OGS. Just look at the bred mids vs the bred ogs, they absolutely look different.
This guy and MK are speaking facts! I used to work at an outlet mall when I was younger! I thought “outlet” only meant that the non-outlet store would send their clearance stuff and/or clothing and shoes that they couldn’t sell in their store, and just ship it to the outlet store to sell at a discounted price. But what I found out was, certain stores would also sell what is known as “seconds”. Prime example was our Timberland outlet. That store sold seconds, meaning that it was the same boot, constructed the same way, with the same high quality material, but there was a defect. There might have been a scuff on the boot or the iconic tree on the side of heel was off a few inches or the stitching was kinda janky around the sole. The material was the same as the high quality boot as well as the construction of the shoe, but those inconsistencies qualified it as a “second”. They weren’t just going to throw it away, so it got shipped to outlet malls to places like Burlington, Rackroom shoes, Timberland, etc. When people found out that you could get the Timbs for 99.99 at any outlet store instead of paying 199.99 at Footlocker or a non-outlet store, guess where everyone went to get their Timbos! Nobody cared that there was a defect. They still held up like any other Timbs. I bought mine from Burlington 13 years ago and they are still in good shape. Primarily because I only wear them during the winter time or when I’m shoveling snow! 😆. This guy knows what he’s talking about. This is real grown man conversation! These young kids need listen and stop the clout chasing, because young fools grow up to be old fools!
Thank you! Thank you!!! You clearly nailed what I was getting at from a first hand retail experience. These kids don't want the boring fact based truth. They prefer the hype popular illusion.
Exactly I used to work at Marshall’s and that’s the items they sell. As well as TJ Max, Burlington and other what you would call “b grade” stores. In fact there was a TX max commercial that explained exactly what he was talking about. When I was in high school working there they used to get a lot of Jordan’s and all kinds of popular sneakers. We’d stock the J’s when the style was out of season. So if a certain style of J’s came out in the fall we would get them right after New Years and put them out in March. And they were the shoes with defect’s.
@@ChrissyAnn85 to this day, I still get my Ralph Lauren Polo’s from TJ Max and Marshalls. It’s better paying $29.99 - $39.99 instead of paying $90 - $125 for a shirt. The only difference is, I’m buying last seasons shirt and the color of the logo is different. Lol
This makes sense to an extent. Wouldn't you think after not being satisfied with so many factories they would just end up sticking with the one they have been satisfied with? Why would they keep trying different factories wasting resources?
Demand states they need multiple sources. That's why you inconsistencies with the same shoe. The Travis Scott 1s are a perfect example of what happens when they have multiple factories.
@@TheSolution4Kickz I think so too. I believe the duties and custom taxes are the most expensive part of the process. It cost a good bit to get them over here in one piece. Great vid man. Just subbed.
@@abrahamisaacaguilar7046 I think he was just pushing more for the educational aspect of the UA misconception, I’m sure with further research you’ll find plenty of websites
Clothing companies do this too. Including luxury brands. Often times the same rep you buy came from the same factory that the one in the LV store came from. In other cases it could be a clandestine factory run by an ex employee of the factory that has all the files and equipment to make them. It’s like if an ex tech from a car company works on your car outside of the dealership.
One thing I learned after researching is that UA is becoming almost like an umbrella term. There are shoes that are made like you described but rejected and deemed UA, others that are made by replicating a certain blue print, or those trying to imitate the others but lack the quality and just end up as bootlegs/fakes. The words are sort of synonymous but there absolutely IS a difference. Much respect for stating facts. Def worth the sub
Ive been doing my research on UA sneakers this past week after completely being turned off to shoe buying thinking snkrs and exclusive drops where thenonly way to buy shoes, abd being beat by botts every time! Lol Just got my first pair! AJ4 sails, cant wait.
they dont make those bigger of sizes because nobody in Asia has that big of feet, UA have sizes only 13 and below not because of America or any other country wanting them, but because the people in asia have small feet so the demand and supply is for those sizes and nothing bigger. Plus bigger sizes mean more material on the shoe
Man this is straight actual factual’s. I never bought a pair of sneakers from a reseller just because they say a expensive price. They’re just shoes! I’m buying UA sneakers from now on! I always took an “ L “ on sneakers I wanted. Never again my G! Thanks for the info. 👍🏿🤙🏿
People think that if u don't get ur shoes from stores in the mall that they are fake. I've bought plenty of ua sneakers that actually look better than the ones from the mall
A friend of mine moved to China 6 years ago to teach kids English and teach. A couple of his friends are actually the guys who work in these factories. Lol They laugh at us Americans who think there's any difference. The main reason these guys make "UA" Is because they're sick and tired of being paid pennies in those official nike sweatshops so they leave and start their own business doing the same thing using the same product, materials machinery etc. THATS IT! LOL and yet these fools really believe there's actually a difference. Everything u said happens as well with the factory contracts. It truly shows how easily a mind can be convinced of anything. His name is Eric btw. We were butchers together in Portland Oregon ironically. Lol. Resellers will be dead eventually. UA ALL DAY! 💯💯
I was going to talk about that element within the manufacturing process. That's probably the biggest reason the UA/Non-Retail market thrives. The workers are tired of the low pay and are working around it.
Extremely risky transaction. Most boutiques don't have contracts. The brands require a lot to secure tier 1 listings. Most boutiques don't have that kind of capital to get those limited or in demand pairs.
Man I had some guy that had some UAs and he said in the description that they were UAs and imo I think that’s better than people that sell fakes as reals
Wish they all did that and put the high res pics on too so we can judge them. Back in the day got fake Lebrons AND it was obvious. A couple years ago, had it happen again with Lebron 15’s but the pics did not really give it away (until I knew what to look for). Used PayPal to purchase thru eBay, so I was able to get refunded on both shoes. I am ready for these UA’s because the quality is there, I want to wear my shoes and I am not tryin’ to pay these resellers the CRAZY prices they tryin to get for these shoes nowadays!
@@TheSolution4Kickz I have completely changed my mind on UA’s because of MKTHE TRUTH and now you! My only questions are where do you buy your UA’s from and have you seen any real quality differences on the shoes and on the actual sneaker boxes? I appreciate the info and the help. Thanks my brother!
Bro, finally someone explains how UA’s happen, thank you! I been knew this and would’ve made a similar vid on my channel, but it got shutdown years ago.
The biggest difference in UA and reps is that you can find any shoe for reps , UA sites can only sell what’s available, some sites will have pairs that others don’t. They don’t sell shoes that got never before seen colorways like rep sites do. UA will never charge normally less than retail either. Reps will charge 50 bucks and send you back a muffin for a sneaker
this is FALSE, ua is constantly restocking their stock. i buy top teir reps that cost a little under retail. UA is a fancy name for counterfeit/fake/ rep sneakers
I understand what you're saying and everything but have a couple questions. Whats the difference between UA's and Bgrades that you got from outlet stores that're marked down do to the factory flaws? And also, what about the UA pairs of kicks that haven't been retro'd or in production for a decade that they continue to pump out? How are these pairs that simply didn't pass QC?
Because what these ppl are being told are UA are actually high quality fakes. UA are very hard to come by and there aren't no where near as many leftovers as this guy in this video is stating also you won't find them with full range of sizing just the odd pairs in random sizes. U would need to be well plugged to get a pair of UA.
If U.A. is really that good, the problem is that bootleggers will also use this term just to justify selling fake shoes while claiming that they are authentic one.
Thx! From what I've seen they are rare sellers that go that high in sizing. It's not really economically feasible because it's not buyers in volume to support making them.
So ur telling me Nike Yeezy 2 UA sneakers are unauthorized shoes that didnt pass QC in 2012? So they are selling an 8 year old sneaker? Then explain why the sneaker smells new?
First off great video. Everything is correct you mentioned . I’ve been wearing reps since 2011! OGs know the old rep RU-vidrs like Niolaires, 24/7 rep reviews etc. There are levels to this “ rep “ , “ UA “ game & always has. YOU ALWAYS PAY FOR THE EXACT QUALITY IN WHICH THEY WERE MADE AKA BATCHES like you mentioned. Back in the day there were UA, AAAA, AAA, and regulars. The price ranged from a high of $300 (Yeezy Nike’s back in the day) , to UA costing RETAIL, to AAAA a little cheaper, and so on and so fourth. Nowadays everyone only wants UAs for the most part from what i see but why not pay retail for a shoe that has 1-2 small flaws max? I’ve bought everything UA from DB color ways to Lebron & KD galaxies 💪🏾 The game has grown sooo much since then lol it’s really crazy... in a good way 🚀
Thx Rep RU-vid was pretty wild back then. I saw some of the old vids. People that dispute what you said are the resellers that see their consumer base could shrink. People are figuring how to cut them and websites out as well.
2 things. 1 If you scan the barcode of the ua snaekers it usually says a large boutique. 2 more of a question. How in the hell can you walk into a boutique and grab a pair of shoes that was limited but are able to get the shoe in every size?
Bro, you said it best, the foolishness is that of the RU-vid criteria, aka The Popularity Contest Syndrome. It's what the internet's Social Media Potters Mentality, Sheeple.
This is all utter bollocks. U hearing this guy. (Oh the factory makes 50,000 pairs and then the QC guys come along and go Nah these are rubbish). U think the factory can afford to have 20,00 left over sneakers. UA is a made up thing and does not exist. So how am I suppossed to know if I have a real UA pair or actual fakes someone tell me that?
Yo bro I would appreciate it if you could help guide me where to go to order from it's my first time. I've never ordered from a reps site. Some advice on which sites to buy from. I don't want to get ripped off.
Think about it. The brand QA/QC IS the only true authenticator. They are ones who know exactly what to look for not some secondary market employee or eBay chic sniffing a shoe 😂🤷🏾♂️🤔😂
Just a question for education purposes: what if a company makes shoes outside of a contract or just whenever they want? What are those called? Fake/real/UA?
Would you buy a pair a Grateful Dead green bears for $200 that was UA brand new with the boxSomebody I know has them I just wanna know if it’s worth it
PKGOD! I just copped 4 pairs from him. Baby Blue OW 1’s, Travis Scott Moca High Top 1’s, Travis Green 6’s, & the cream yeezy 350s. Quality fer days bruh.
That needs to happen, NW been in the game for years, you and MK seem to have a really good handle on this information about UA’s AND resellers are really messing it up for the regular guy who wants to get a pair of these shoes he or she really likes but they have bought up ( hoarded ) from the masses and now gouging buyers like Purell, Lysol and Chlorox products during this pandemic. Terrible for the regular sneaker heads out there who don’t have money like that to throw away! Appreciate what you guys do for us.
Good explanation. It makes sense, but what about when some of these factories come up with new versions. They must be violating some kind of contract. Either way, I agree the sneakers are the same. It's resellers who caused this.
They don't care about the contract if a buck is to made by cutting out the brands. It's same concept of hand to hand dealers cutting down product to make something extra.
This was a treat to watch the game & jewels being dropped. Subscribed. A lot of information kicked; however, there’s not enough time to break it all down in one video. The UA market has arrived. I’ll leave it at that. For those that love their "plug", bot or resellers, this may not be the content that you want out there. Cheers & happy hunting!
I’m very interested in this. Sick of paying all these resellers my hard earned money. I have been a sneaker head for 30 years. Where is a good place to get UA authentic sneakers???
I new sub and I really need the best UA website for retro Jordan’s 1-13s and not DG GATE PLEASE!!! can you please recommend a few? Not the 40-50$ I mean the good UA with the boxes and great quality
Exactly! Well said 👏 I bought a pair of Jordan 1 bloodlines from a boutique and on the insole there was no font saying white man can't jump. If I sold that to stock x it wouldn't of passed authentication. Also there's shops in Australia with full run of Travis lows recently that have dropped at resale prices before Sneakers and Travis Scott drop them. UA is real, don't believe the scalpers lies
10 years ago I would have gone on a rant about how real is real and fake is fake but these bots and backdoor antics is just disgusting. I’m cool with regular everyday people getting the shoes they want for a fair price and not being ripped off by these computer nerd weirdos.
Took the L, this morning on the AJ1 Zoom CMFRT PSG’s and StockX has them already for almost 2.5 times retail! 🤬 if I knew which site to get those quality UA’s from at the right price, I would have bought them today! Bot scammers 🤬!
That’s the problem. I feel like more people would buy UAs if they knew which sites to get good UAs from. People want shoes they don’t have to worry about selling out for a good price but they also don’t want to be scammed.
@@rolodexpropaganda 💯, need to get MK and others like him here on the Tube to get us some info on the sites they buy from. Maybe DM direct to us on the DL! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
They just dont want people to cop. They want them to buy from them. Meanwhile they out here buying UA. UA just means they are not authorized to sell the sneakers by Nike, adidas etc. Thats like someone going to a store downtown thats not champs, finish line footlocker etc. and buying shoes. Same thing man !
