Adidas Yeezy Foam Runner Fakes in 2024?

[@Miltnificent]

Comment below and let me know what you think. I'll say that to say this, There are pros and cons with both the China and US pairs. I'm satisfied with both Yeezy models.

[@mrpersianality6363]

No one will ever look at your shoes that close. The fake ones off Amazon are great

[@etcot8220]

Interesting video, thumbs up for showing in details. Also its easier to see what you are talking about with your size 13. I also ordered 2 pairs, one in 11 and the other in size 10 tho, size 10 is still yet to ship, I will look into it as soon as I received my 2nd pair. It was my first time I hit on a FR so I won’t be able to compare with a U.S. version.

[@Miltnificent]

Ayeee and congrats on your pickup

[@wilsonimon2480]

Only the solid colors we’re made in the us, the mx ones were made overseas. There is a mx on the onyx but it’s a little harder to see. The ones made overseas are typically wider. But the new mx granite they made are completely new model shape.

[@EVANJ84]

I was just looking this morning, and the Granite are way more rounded compared to the Onyx.

[@SpoonieLuvFrmUpAbove]

Well done… great breakdown of the differences. I have the OG’s & the original Onyx Foam RNR’s, were made in China.

[@Miltnificent]

Do you feel a difference between the pairs?

[@SpoonieLuvFrmUpAbove]

@@Miltnificent the USA model fits better out of the box imo, the China pairs are more snug, I ordered another pair of the onyx, so I’ll see if anything has changed from the original.

[@michaelbonavita1800]

Gonna have to agree on the fact that they definitely have a different feel to them than the pre-breakup pairs. I hit on the onyx foam runners and dark onyx slides and feel like the slides run smaller and are more stiff than the slate marine slides I hit on last year. The slate marine slides have a definite different texture and softer feel on foot then the dark onyx and granite slides. That’s not to say the latter I mentioned were uncomfortable but there’s definitely and difference.

[@Miltnificent]

Agreed 🫡

[@shemk17]

Thanks for working so hard for us the people

[@Miltnificent]

Thanks for tuning in.

[@Jose49798]

My Onxy pair had 03/2023 on it. Have you noticed the different feeling between China and USA pair?

[@Miltnificent]

Yes, and specifically around the ankle area the more you wear it. The Ankle feels fine with the US pair but the China version, the ankle portion feels uncomfortable over time

[@franklinvasquez1927]

Adidas can do whatever they want with the yeezy brand. All these changes come down to one thing, and that's them not paying Kanye. These MX Granites are ugly. Completely different shape, I was disappointed on my MX Granite pair.

[@jordanherrera3504]

Thank you so much for the video man, I just bought some resale foamrunners sand and I was hella tripping because they felt so different than my “made in china” version.I ain’t gonna lie I ain’t really feeling my “made in USA” versions as they feel stiffer and feel tighter in the toe box for me. I appreciate your video because it gave me peace of mind that I ain’t the only one with this different variation.

[@Miltnificent]

@@jordanherrera3504 oh no doubt and thank you for tuning in. More to come

[@demetricesmith6886]

They purposely changing them, so they can say they are not the same. Some legal bs going on behind the scenes.

[@Miltnificent]

Oweee that’s a good point

[@coopess1]

really like this channel for many reasons. a few thoughts and discussion: 1-in terms of fake or legit. the definition should be whether 'ye' approved as 'legit', if not approved by 'ye' then 'fake'. Kanye also point it out 'adidas' make 'fake yeezy'. So i dont think it matters where the shoes were produced. Its more cuz adidas went behind his back to make these shoes. 2- fits different This really drive me crazy because I just got mine based on adidas recommendation full size up. and my feet are swimming in them. I think they have several moulds for it. Just different in patch production the fits are different. (which they shouldn't do that. quality control thing on adidas side. but maybe they are tweaking little details who knows) 3-at the end of the day, it's a pair of shoe. Let's buy them, wear them, enjoy them and trash the poop out of them. I love the shoes but since they came out, there is so much hype. I could not win raffle and I do not believe in after market resell. I was rocking the 10 dollar walmart pair for more than a year now because I love the design and could never just walk into a store and buy the real yeezy at retail price. this onyx 2024 pair is my first ever pair that i won on confirm app. my friends and family says the fake walmart pair looks better lmao. (if you ever own a pair its streamlined more slim, real ones are huuuuge more exaggerated which I personally prefer- for the sake of being 'legit' In the end, life is simple, rock what you like and be happy. Fun fact, if you read a book called 'shoe dog' phil knight said in his book, there was a korean factory making 'fake' pairs of nike shoes that the quality is so good. Nike negotiate a deal to offer the factory became official contractor. Now the 'fake' is 'legit' what the world we live in. im not sneaker fanatics, so any opinions here could be totally wrong so dont hold me to it. just a normal fan writing silly comment. Love the release rumor you provide and hope I could finally capture some of these nice yeezy design at a reasonable price.

[@Miltnificent]

Owee this is an EXCELLENT TAKE! I appreciate this response 🫡

[@slavaistomin5605]

There are slight upgrades that are intentional, not mistakes. I.e. ppl complain about it being too narrow in the front so they put more room.

[@Miltnificent]

Good take 🫡

[@DavidJones-pv5wn]

I see the difference but still mess with them heavy like the way my onyx pair fit got them yesterday just waiting to see my MX granite coming Monday and glad I got them off CONFIRMED so it don’t really bother me love the video tho bro

Thanks for watching

Just received my mx foams i ant madd at the shape. Its nothing i can do about it. All of my foam runners i got came from China so i have nothing to compare them to.

[@Miltnificent]

I hear ya! Nothing wrong with em! Congrats on your W!

[@pincheterco1537]

All my foams vary, the stone toupe is the hardest one, the desert sand are so good I doubled up , adidas is gonna keep selling yeezy, seeing how retailers inventory sold out yesterday

[@Miltnificent]

Could see that

[@TheUrbanAlien247]

Bingo. This would explain all the extra pairs in certain colorways.😅 Great breakdown bro!

[@Miltnificent]

Appreciate ya

[@jr6136]

Adidas pays whoever they contract to produce the shoes, just as NVIDIA outsources production of its chips. There will be differences and inconsistencies between them. I do appreciate your willingness to dive into this, but the idea that they’re “fake” is only a thought because Ye didn’t approve them. And as many have noted, contracts could’ve required to produce out through the first two months of 2023. Haven’t seen any produced past Feb 2023…yet. They’re legit.

[@Miltnificent]

Seems others are finding ones made in march and April of 2023😮

[@jr6136]

@@Miltnificent 👀 I’m all for them continuing production for the record haha

[@martinrivas3867]

I just checked some of my early foams produced in china and my Mineral Blue, Vermillion, and Mx Cream Clay are spelled RNNR. The chips in the tag are also normal. I have the sulfur colorway made in the USA and it is spelled RNR so I believe maybe the spelling was phased out. My OG sand has both the man and women on the inner tag as well does the sand restock pair however the restock pair is spelled RNR.

[@martinrivas3867]

I just checked my yeezy 450 stone teal from the previous batch of Yeezys (produced in Germany)and the chip inside the tag is the same as the new chip in the foam rnnrs. The new 500 stone taupe (produced in Vietnam) also has the new chip. My Onyx Foam was produced 1/23 so adidas was pumping them out as a cash grab. Not fake just for money

[@Miltnificent]

@@martinrivas3867 bingo!

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

Not gonna lie the China pairs seems to be more refined somehow when i would expect the opposite the the 2 holes on the heel look more symmetrical then the Older pair that's made in the US. Same thing with the holes on the toe box area. Plus the fact its got more space for ur ankle and wont rub so bad.

[@Miltnificent]

Yea I felt like the pairs mad in China allow for the material to not break the tread so fast but the original US pair wouldn’t rub your ankles so much, little softer but more narrow

[@trevordusseau4633]

I just got my 2nd. pair of Onyx Black Foam Runners. And I can 100% say there's a huge difference between the 2022 pair made in China, vs. The 2023 pair also made in China!! I'm not to happy about it either. The pair I just received 2023 pair are a lot softer, bigger, and much more shiny. It's very strange man.

[@Miltnificent]

Oh wow😳

[@trevordusseau4633]

I mean don't get me wrong, I still love the foam runners. I just wasn't ready for the new mold? Or sizing. I would've stuck tts with this last Onyx Black drop. Oh well, HAPPY YEEZY MONTH! lol. 🙏🏻 🥳 🎉

[@trevordusseau4633]

Also my first pair I bought were manufactured in 2021, not 2022.

[@stevenguyen8161]

Uncle Milty! Are you doing anything to control the odor and airflow in the shoebox wall?

[@Miltnificent]

its a mancave lol but its all good

[@a3rrowman3]

My stone salt pair of rnrs is a half size up from my tts and they fit snug. I bought a legit onyx China pair from confirmed and it fit big and then the Mx granite pair fit differently from the onyx! Like, I noticed they had little bumps for your toe to grab. Like, they HAD to have had changed the design.

[@Miltnificent]

Oh for sure and the density

[@Vitaminac809]

I have mostly all pairs of foams the early models (og) are indeed different from recent models so before the split I ordered the first onyx and they do say made in china I also have the Mx version and they also say made in china so I don’t know what to believe also the new models are rounder at the toe box area

[@Miltnificent]

Oh definitely because Mx granite was real rounded

[@JFgym-14]

then the pair made in china is original or fake?

[@marconoguera36]

A bet you take another color way made in USA will be different at the sand that you have, the manufacturers change slightly every batch, year need his money as well we need discounted prices but this video don’t prove anything, of course china pairs are different than the made in USA

[@Miltnificent]

the US Pairs are similar imo

[@SneakerzKB24GA34]

R the YZY MX Cinders from 2023 fake

[@SneakerzKB24GA34]

Not fake, but should I say were they made in the US?

[@Miltnificent]

@@SneakerzKB24GA34 the sneaker community feels like Adidas outsourced the original build of the Foam runners in the US to China to obtain more money in return. A lot of businesses not just Adidas moved Manufacturing jobs overseas to pay for cheaper labor and lower taxes. So essentially they were making more money. If that’s the case, why don’t they simply pay Ye for the Trademark percentage. Seems simple 🥶

[@twoleftsright]

Pretty sure stuff produced in 2023 is just leftover factory contracts Adidas had to fulfill. It's not a huge conspiracy I don't think. If there were pairs produced in like 06/23, that's a different story

[@No_Hype85]

100% agree!

[@Miltnificent]

I hear ya, the two different dates still iffy specifically after the announcement from Adidas is what the sneaker community pointed out. Kinda like saying oh we're not supporting anything Ye but then you're still making more lol

[@jerryreal5784]

So which is origInala the china or usa

[@Miltnificent]

It was produced first in the US

[@CupCake-sk2iy]

It may just be them switching things up a bit for legal reasons I just find it hard to believe that Adidas the owner is making fake shoes they originally created. I get ye was in partnership but I'm curious if Adidas all of a sudden started paying ye again would they be real again

[@Miltnificent]

It’s all about perspective and who you’re asking but it’s definitely an interesting take. If Jordan and Nike separated and Nike decided to sell Jordan’s with his trademark logo without paying him, would the sneaker community continue to buy Jordan’s?

[@SNKRS908]

Imo these new pairs fit big. Had to sell em off and get my true to size.

[@Miltnificent]

I hear ya

[@SNKRS908]

​@@Miltnificent for anyone out there curious about slides. Go a full size up. Foam runners, I recommend true to size

[@bmore_brian8682]

My Onyx pair were made 02/23 🤔. I think Adidas took a bigger hit than intended so they’re dropping these in hopes we will make up for their losses . I got just about all to wear it doesn’t bother me much . But i think share holders were barking down adidas ear .

[@SamuelThadius12]

So I have the OG pair of Onyx RNR’s(sz12), my wifey has the recent pair of onyx RNR’s(sz7), and I just got the MX granite RNR’s(sz12) and all the boxes are the same. All 3 were made in China, all say FOAM RNR, newer ones have the 11/22 production sticker, OG pair has a 5/22 date. Also, all 3 have a single man that’s by the size sticker inside the box. 1 thing I did prep on wifeys rnr box, on the outside bottom of the box, it does show a ©️2021 in small fine print, but that’s only on THAT box. My OG pair & the MX pair has no writing in the price of the box.

[@gauravdey2335]

Even the US pairs aren’t similar if that’s what you’re implying and differ from batch to batch. In fact, every pair I have had has been different from one another, 3 were US and 2 were China made. So this video proves nothing. And I am not talking about current releases but the ones from Ye’s time with Adidas.

[@vaughnronald-james7248]

Ok so why was there was production of product in 2023? The answer is actually simple and uncomplicated. So with corporate production companies like Adidas they offer plastic manufacturing companies the opportunity to manufacture products they sell. Most companies bill out their projects a year before they release the the public. Adidas would have had multiple manufacturers bid on the job and paid upfront to manufacture the products they are selling now. So when production companies (who have obligations to complete production or refund the money) have production contracts they are not in position to join in on whatever boycott Adidas is on.

[@Miltnificent]

So why not just pay Ye for his trademark signature? 😳

[@vaughnronald-james7248]

@@Miltnificent i actually think that the “Yeezy” trademark is still licensed by Adidas the same way Jordan is licensed by Nike. You can transfer the trademark to another company if you have fulfilled your contract obligations with the company you signed with. Most companies have a “prove it” structure for the initial contract term leading to a second much longer contract term. (hence why most people like Kobe who originally signed to Adidas was able to sign with nike a few years later) what people struggle with is the morality clause in contracts that often hold harmless liabilities from a company that needs to sever ties from their perspective associates like Kanye when he is cancelled for what he was saying. This allows adidas to fulfill the full terms of the agreement to “recuperate losses” based on what adidas would have made, NOT based on what the productions costs were. They then can use the “Yeezy” brand name until such time as they either sell enough to cover their projected losses or whenever the contract terms expire whatever comes first. Lol its alot but look up force majure and hold harmless contract language thats how adidas is able to “grape an artist”

[@vaughnronald-james7248]

@@Miltnificent sorry for the lengthy response but I’m 90% sure im right and theres more to it like adidas would totally sue kanye because they front loaded his payments and he didn’t follow his hold harmless liabilities so they would have to go after him to show whatever losses were reasonably recouped before they get tax credits and subsidies. Again its law its annoying i did contract work for years and adidas is just sloppy but they are actually not wrong

[@yrbek]

Yup they made him a billionaire and he made them win and lose a lot of money in the same time. They have to sell all of the yeezys they have left to recoup some of the money back they invested to produce them, some are new (when the broke up happened 💔 doesn't mean production date have to be before Oct 22 cause it 's planned way before ...) and all the leftovers they didn't sold before... Anyway pay Kanye for breaking the contract ,being a total weirdo on social media ... Would you ? Now onto the next video when you receive the Mx granite Foam " RNR " with a total new shape for new comparisons.

[@alvadagansta]

99% sure Kanye had nothing to do with production, regardless of when. Anything from sizing and shape and "buoyancy" are all decided by the manufacturer. The variations in mold and material are just variations. There's nothing deep behind it. There are a lot of variations in Jordans too.
