Great review. The Kobe emblem on the tongue is a little brighter than the one on the rep. The side plastic on the original pair is brighter and on the reps not so much. but if you're wearing a pair of jeans over the tongue you wouldn't be able to tell. I'm buying me a pair of the reps it's saving me some money, they look good. This review helped alot!
The red on the heel cup / side panel of the Rep seems to have a more strawberry pink color where as the Red on the Retail pair is more of that True consistent Crimson Red sheen color throughout, also the tongue on the Rep is fatter and rounder than the Retails tongue
I got my pair from StockX and it has the sticker on the insole on both shoes. I checked everything else on the shoe (shoe box, lines on side of shoe, side panels, heel, and tongue) and those looked good to me, but my only concern is my pair came with the sticker on the insole on both shoes. What’s weird is StockX verified and sent me those shoes even though most of the rep pairs had the sticker on the insole. Please tell me what you think. Thank you.
I got a pair from GOAT and it’s verified. Everything I’ve seen on authentic matches up with mine, but it has the circle insole sticker. I’m not too concerned about the sticker since everything else checks out and I doubt the fake makers could get it all right and forget to remove the sticker.
I got mine from GOAT and they’re verified. Everything lines up with authentic reviews I’ve watched. But it also has the circle insole sticker. I’m not too concerned because I don’t think the fake makers would get it all right and forget to remove a sticker.
I ball in Kobe V Protro Chaos UA’s and I love them! I would caution you to change the insoles. The ones that came with mine were garbage. Once I changed the insoles, I was good. Haven’t had any issues. My play style is like Rip Hamilton. I cut a lot. I’m also 6’1” about 210 lbs.
I’m really not sure of the reason. Looks like they never updated the website photos. They do QC pics though and they usually come back like the ones in this video. Thanks for watching
Sometimes you won’t be able to tell on your own if the rep is that good. Usually It comes down to your in hand experience in seeing real and fake versions. Sometime the weight and the feel can be a call out. Videos like this can help and also going to your local consignment shops where they see so many retails and know the common consistency’s and inconsistencies
I agree will be ordering me a pair. I've got a pair of fragments and i received alot of compliments on them while attending a concert. No one could tell.
Those are bad fakes the company that I bought stuff on accident I should have known the website was no good with the prices but I still bought couple pairs and there almost perfect check check went all way to the end the stitching underneath the insole was off it said only reason they failed
@@sneakerdon11they won’t that’s why in a sense I don’t buy resell man because you can’t tell me some of these consignment shops don’t push reps through for a bigger profit I’ve seen some reps in hand man that look better than retail I’m serious it’s scary to buy a top tier rep $200-$300 over retail that you thought was authentic I’m telling you it’s all about where you get the rep from man because these you tubers don’t keep it all the way 💯 they purposely buy shitty reps and do videos on them so they can scare you from buying reps so they can hold on to keeping resale strong but I’m a witness that it’s some UA factories that will made your eyes jump out from pristine craftsmanship them mf’s be literally 1:1 pure quality don’t let these people tell you it’s not and that right there even makes me scared to cop from trusted shops like flight club whom I’ve been shopping with for years yeah UA’s are that good
I do see a difference. The print on the bottoms are different the rubber on the back check out the pattern. Let me know if I’m not seeing something different.
you right the bottom pattern on them is different but the pattern is different from retail to retail as well which makes it a common inconsistency on these
