Fun facts, there's no such thing as NIKE factory. NIKE only sub-contract production to overseas factories. At present there are around 146 factories in China employing 189,000 workers. Nike make a large variety of products in factories across China. As Asian, we know Chinese very well and we know how they make more money than they suppose to.

that's a fact, I myself found a plug were I was skeptical at first but took a chance buying the kobe 4 protro I recieved them and was glad they wasn't fugazi, I like them so much that i bought another pair and will probably buy more in the future, people have no idea how much those kobe 4 Protro's shoes cost to get here in the U.S. these idiots would spent their whole paycheck and rent money for these kobes real talk and its sad while meanwhile I only paid $100 plus shipping and handling which cost in total $115 which ain't that bad 🙂

Everyone is free to feel how they feel. I have gotten pairs from nike direct via mail and in person with bad stitching, bad leather, paint issues, color issues, etc. I did the factory variant thing when I was young also, and loved going home to NY and buying off the street. All of that stuff was awful. Terrible everything. Today, the sneaker business is making private people millions of dollars, so it only makes sense that people are going to find a way to shit on (in many cases) an amazing alternative. I will NEVER spend 500 plus dollars on some nikes or some adidas, but the APPS won't even let you get them if you wanted! The brands are forcing people who just love sneakers and looking fly to look for other alternatives. I have had hundreds of pairs of retail. I was the nike factory store king for years. Now the outlets don't have shit, you never hit on the apps, and kobes cost 600 dollars. F all that. The UAs of today are as good as retail, often times better. I have had UAs authenticated by sneaker experts in my face, never in life have I had someone question my kicks. Everyone claims to be an expert, but I have held a UA and a retail in my hands of the same shoes, and boy do you have to reach to find differences, IF THERE EVEN ARE ANY. and who is telling you to take your shoes off, putting black lights on them, or checking leather density on the street? LOL. that's just silly. Literally no one would know, but me.

Some brands destroy their "b-grade" merchandise. Some brands send them to outlets and stores like TJ Maxx. Why in the world would people believe the largest apparel company in the world would just "lose" extra materials and turn a blind eye for contractors to manufacture more of their products is just nuts. By that definition you should be able to buy a UA iPhone, UA iPad, etc. Since Apple also uses favorites in China to manufacture their products too and they have "left over" materials.

You can totally buy all that stuff in China...(iPhone, iPad, etc). They actually have entire shopping malls and markets dedicated to high quality replicas of all types of products.

1. Alot of these factories get the original molds for the original shoe from the subcontracted nike factories 2. Now most of the UAs are actually better quality then retail because they send qc pictures before they send you your pair so if you see any defects you can have them swap it out and send you a pair with no flaws 3. Ive seen plenty of UAs that are better quality then retail like jordan 11, jordan 1 , chunky dunkys etc. the good ua companies try hard to perfect to where as nike just sends them shits out to stores with all types of glue stains etc. the ua companys deal directly with buyers so they try to avoid any flaws

All of this makes you have to ask the question….. what is “real” ? If the shoes are all made out of leather, nubuck, suede, rubber, etc. Why is one considered real and the other considered fake ? In the early 2000s there was definitely a difference, but now….. it’s all the same. There is no such thing as real and fake anymore.
@xaviveras9752
@xaviveras9752 2 года назад
I'd add that its all branding, if the "real" pair is recognized and sold by the Brand, then they're "real"...but the fact of the matter is, that they're made in the same place where these "fake" shoes are made. Yeah, you could argue quality or durability differences, but "real" pairs also come with minor and noticeable flaws. The game has changed.

One thing you can at least hold to merit of the UA sneaker title is that they are supposed to be the highest grade regardless of the background story, so it is best to go for them if you want close to 100% correct. From speaking to many suppliers it seems they still acquire the blueprint back door from the factories and try to match them, in some cases you can find the materials are slightly off but even higher quality funnily specifically with leathers. There are still slight differences with every individual release so you have to look at every colourway of every shoe compared to retail to see the differences

First of all, I’m 40 years old and been a sneaker head for quite a while now. I’ve sold nearly all my authentic sneakers. Except for my Chicago ones and bred ones. But I know what a real sneaker looks like and what it smells like and what the leather feels like ir the cheap leather that they typically used to make these shoes. So I can say and I can attest that UA’s or replicas are the same. Like I said, I’ve been buying shoes for over 20+ years now and every single pair of authentic sneakers I’ve had always have some slight errors with the stitching or you could see the glue or the guidelines I’ve had a pair of shoes that both don’t look the same. People need to understand that all these shoes are handmade in the same factories. People need to stop falling for these resellers by giving them your hard earned money for a pair of sneakers that probably cost $15 or $20 of materials to make in China.

From what I've seen, most replica sneakers you get are just replicas. Like there are a lot of different sites and sellers that claim they sell UA, but they are just replicas in the end. There are a variety of different factories that may get retail materials and machines but 99% of the time replica shoes aren't straight up from Nike factories and instead different batches such as M, CZ, PK, LJR are made. If you search up some factories a bit, you can see many get a retail pair in hand and they cut them up, dissecting them to find how they are constructed to build their own pairs. Although, I have heard of some sellers in China though that have sold "authentic" and actual UA sneakers in extremely rare cases, normally early pairs which have been verified authentic by some buyers, but they have all been sold only a bit under market price. Ex: There was a seller that sold "retail" Georgetown 85's for around 2000Y or $300 USD.

As related to sneakers, i would recommend to the young folks to get out of the hype trap, and if you can’t cop the shoe you want on retail, just find another shoe that you like and be genuine. I would prefer 100% wearing a product that i bought through a legit channel and show everybody else the finger. The industry will always work like that and there is no way around it. And stop paying triple the price on resale for a product that 2 minutes earlier have released cheaper. Save you money and invest. Fakes make you feel fake. And even if nobody else knows that you are wearing an counterfeit, the worst thing is that you know and in time it will make you feel devaluated.

My roomate has a few reps, compared one to my retail and I was surprised to see that the rep was even better quality than my retail, same materials and everything. So in my eyes they’re real, just not sponsored by Nike 🤷🏽‍♂️ they contract hundreds of different factories all over China. Who’s to say the rep you’re getting is not from that same factory? It would be foolish to think that these factories wait around and only rely on Nike to make money when they could get it on their own

Yo not gonna lie i have a pair of off whites chicago 1s that i bought at retail, my cousin bought a pair of reps from one of those "good reps" sites and bro we looked at them side by side and we brought them to our friend's dad who is an artisan shoe maker and knows about different types of leather and materials we just had him inspect them for quality of the materials and overall quality, the replica was built better than the original one according to him. The guy has been making shoes for 35 years by hand so he knows a thing or two about that

We own factories producing only adidas collabs. When there’s a collab, they send us nearly the exact amount of fabric to produce the quantity ordered. Usually margin for error is 1 shoe. If there is an incident that occurs, we don’t just pick up the phone and ask for more fabric. There’s an entire process behind to ensure UA’s don’t happen. We don’t produce mass quantity models, so not aware of how those work. But I imagine Nike operates a similar way. So to say there’s many UA of collabs and exclusive Nikes is a little shocking for me.

However, I will say I’ve seen first hand “factories”, where ex employees quit and purchase old equipments that factories like ours retire (either because we upgrade new equipment for new technology or from wear and tear) and they have the skills and equipment to make nearly perfect replicas. 10 years ago, there were still many flaws. But over a decade, they have become nearly perfect. You could argue, if it was the early 2,000s QC team would approve. QC now is very different than the past. There are bad replicas out there, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

This ain't true, because anyone who has done any production in a factory setting knows that if you get an order for 1k shoes you don't make only 1k shoes. You probably made 2k shoes to get the best 1k to the buyer. UA is picked from the remaining 1k shoes. Are there ppl saying they're UA that are not yes, but don't say it's BS

Imo there’s nothing wrong with replicas. In fact, I just bought a pair of replica University Blue dunks. As long as you’re not trying to sell them off as real, no harm no foul. I personally will only buy replicas of expensive sneakers because I just can’t rationalize spending over $250 on a pair of sneakers I’m planning on beating into the ground. If you’re someone out there who buys reals and actually wears them, god bless you. I’ll never understand the hypebeasts who have collections with hundreds of sneakers that they’ll never wear because they simply succumb to trends instead of buying sneakers they actually enjoy and will wear.

Bro I just came from Vietnam and don't get fooled I saw some of the best quality sneakers ever there .The only difference in quality is in the molds Nike sends out different molds to different manufacturers the workers can make any shoe to retail specs it's just the materials that you have to pay for to get retail quality.
@pooolish334
@pooolish334 Год назад
At this point, it's not about feeling bad or justifying wearing replicas. It's that spending $500+ on a $150 nike shoe is absurd. If you want to rock some Travis Scott Nikes you're going to have to spend a ton of money on a nike shoe that someone is profiting 2-5 times the price it costed them. People with good contacts getting these limited shoes for the sole purpose of storing them until they can profit triple the price on them. This is when good replicas come into play. If the shoe is on the shelf, then yes, get the Authentic pair. But if the shoe has an absurd price on it (like the Travis Scott ones) then get the PK, H12/KickWho "godkiller" replica and you will be able to rock shoes that you couldn't in the first place. This shoe game today is disgusting. They hype a shoe or they buy out a limited shoe for the sole purpose of cashing in on them and then they shame you for wearing reps. Wanting you to buy the Authentic pair at an absurdly inflated price that they themselves made in the first place. Who are the evils one here actually? The people making the 95-99% accurate reps, the Nike company purposely not making enough shoes for the demand it has, or the BS resellers buying shoes that they won't wear for the purpose of cashing in on them.

Fun facts these factories do what Nike asks of them. They give them the molds and the codes for the fabrics to be used.They say china factories a, b, and c. Make 50,000 pairs each factory. Nike goes their and picks maybe 25,000 per factory. Those get sent to Nike in the USA. Those pairs go through an additional QC check so the 75,000 pairs only 25,000 pairs get selected for your known retailers : footlocker etc. what the hell you think the left over pairs from Nike and back at the factory? They don’t burn them shits they go back on the market to be sold. But not every factory is the same but the good ones you find “god batches”. At the end of the day you don’t wear your shoe boxes 🤣. UA’s are a avenue to get what you want for not ass raping prices. Choose your pill

I seriously got into sneakers about 10 years ago. I’m 44. I have a cool solid collection, pairs I like and wear. Some pairs I haven’t worn yet and have been sitting on them for a couple of years. Waiting for that special occasion that hasn’t come around yet. But I’ve been researching UA shoes and websites and was thinking…it might make sense for someone like me. At my age, I don’t go out like I used to. I may take my grandkids out somewhere or even my teenage kids to the movies and whatnot. So who would even be able to tell if my shoes were UA or not. I’m about to pull the trigger on the Jordan 4 motorsports and the Breds, both for $270 out the door. As opposed to $1,000+ for legit ones. If I like the comfort and look, I’d probably choose to get replicas of the shoes that are way too expensive for no reason like these pairs. I don’t mind spending $300 or even $400 which I have in the past on some J’s but when we get into the $600 range…for a pair I’ll probably wear once every few months, and during that once it would be for a couple of hours max…it just makes more sense. I’ll keep you posted.
