One thing we should all know is. IT DOES NOT HURT NIKE OR ADIDAS 99% OF THE TIME!!!!! The yeezys, and jordans they sell get sold out 100% OF THE TIME, paying resell HELPS RESELLERS, it does not help nike AT ALL. So if you get a rep of them, you are not hurting the brand, they already sold 100% of the stock, and made all the profit. so I am 100% okay with wearing reps, because resellers can EAT SH!T for ruining the sneaker culture.

[@veez_si8897]

I refuse to pay more than $400 on a shoe no way, I have to be making $1000 an hour to think about it💀💀

[@ghostl337]

Ain't no difference, they're usually made in the same place as reps, the only difference sometimes is where they get finished.

[@jermainelamar3093]

Honestly it’s just clothes, not the biggest deal either way. So many people are trying to find ways to say “I’m better than you” that it just becomes ridiculous. Find a way to look how you want to look, if you even care enough to put that much thought into it and that’s the end of it for me. But I will say this, authentics tend to look better and have better construction “usually” so if that matters to you, that should be the determining factor in what you decide to get, along with your bank account. 😅

They’re shoes. The only article of clothing we actively drag on the ground non stop. Get any shoes you want. They have a lifespan if you routinely enjoy them and actually wear them

[@SNKRS-]

I feel the same way about reps as I do sponsored ads in videos I don’t hate them but their just there

[@DIORGUILTY]

“even if people happen to be paying attention to you, like in your dream” LMFAOOOOOOOO

[@koma3475]

IDC, I love reps/UAs/option B’s/fakes. They’re a great option to get the shoe you want for less. I was just on /Repsneakers researching for TS x Frag 1 lows cause the silhouette and colorway IMO is gorgeous and I ain’t dropping $2,010 on StockX even though I got the money to do so. I don’t do it for hype, just to pull off great fits.

[@OuttaThisWorldProd]

People will assume it’s fake even if it’s real. Wear what you want!

[@stoneyrules]

If It Looks the same, feels the same, then It's the same. Reps have been getting better with every batch nowadays. Hell, a pair of reps was featured In a SNKRS store Ad. If Nike themselves can't see a difference, no one would. (I suggest Muk Rep's btw)

Buying reps and learning to cut my own have been the best decisions I've made this past year, promise you no one cares most ppl ask for the links

[@kaiwesener3650]

Rick Owens got started his career cutting patterns for a rep company in LA. If you're worried about buying reps, know that it's okay as far as Rick Owen's goes.

[@IvetteJeffreys]

I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on apparel... so more people choose fashionable *amzclothes* . However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.

Even when your not broke keep buying reps I promise you the real ones are not all they cracked up to be

[@anotherimpact8302]

there is absolutely no way that 1% of people can actually do legit checking,most people just make assumptions considering what they think is your budget so yeah ,rock both your retail pieces and your reps confidently,in the very end it's all about taste and style and not budget.

[@Manuel-kx4qt]

Bro at this stage in the game some reps are better quality than real origionals. To the people under 18 dont waste your money on real pricey items instead by reps and with the money left over go out with your friends trust me fam

[@daelaenor]

I still remember the 25$ fake yeezys I bought as a kid. They were the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn.

[@dionyzas]

Personally I've always been on the fence about reps, but recently I got obsessed with Rick Dunks and wanting to own a pair. But, as everyone may know, getting a pair that doesn't look like it has been used in both world wars and that don't have cracked pissed soles resembling that of my dead aunt's ashy lips for a price that isn't lower than a downpayment on a house is practically impossible. So, I decided to get "1:1" reps. In instances like these I strongly feel like reps are a necessity because the secondary market can honestly suck my left nut when it comes to pricing of "grails". I get a never warn pair of dunks for $3-5k, but all these used pairs on grailed going for $2k+ (if you're lucky) is ludicrous man.

[@antwyy3785]

The only reason I personally buy real kicks (grail wise), is I find fantastic deals on stuff and know when I'm done enjoying them, the price is going up with time and I can make money. The best out of reach shoe here are the Newport "forces", which were a limited run "bootleg" that go for around $10-13k. But, if you were spotted wearing them, you wouldn't get the same looks as wearing a shoe in the same price range like the Jordan 1 Diors. Yet, reps for the Jordan 1s (and probably the Newports somewhere), are so good to where most people wouldn't care. Interesting!

[@ultraroi]

In middle school people used to point out that I was wearing fake yezeys, It never bothered me because I didn't even know what they were. I just picked out the shoes that looked cool

[@fitchyyboi]

I can see myself buying reps if I actually like how something looks and can't afford it, not because something's a status symbol or a trend

[@bonkoce]

honestly, price based everything is through the roof and going even further. if you dont have the money and as long as you dont try to sell them as authentic or if someone asks you if they are real and you dont claim them as real then who cares? it doesnt even hurt most companies, they still sell out all the time.

[@trevor4533]

Personally, if I don't cop for retail and I REALLY want the shoe, I'll go for a rep pair. Not interested in getting fleeced for hundreds by some greasy pasty boi running bots out of his mother's basement. However, I am pretty conflicted on reps for shoes that actually retailed for several hundreds, thousands. Dior 1s, Balenciagas, high end designer clothing, etc. I probably wouldn't buy anything like that, but I have zero issue with those that do, as long as they're not trying to scam you out of your money.

Bruh u rocking the mullet w/ the fade on sides in 2022 is straight 🔥🔥🔥 Much love from 🇮🇹

[@parkerirish]

Honestly I don’t care if you wear reps, UA’s, etc. Stuff is too expensive to pay resell nowadays but if you buy reps like UA’s, don’t resell them as real and if someone asks if they’re reps, own up to it; like I’d imagine someone would be impressed that your UA’s are that good. Just my opinion. Shoutout r/repsneakers 😤

[@remedyplays40]

Walked into a hype sneaker shop wearing some rep Yeezys just to look around. That being said the owner of the place loved them and complimented me on them. I told him that they were reps because I don't want to spend the amount of money that the resold original sold for. He was legitimately amazed at the shoes quality even if it was a rep, and asked me to take it off so he could see it 👍 he seemed to agree the rep was fine 🤣
