[@kujichaguliaself-determina7388]

My question is are these authentic shoes being made because why would Nike let this get out or is this video showing out counterfeits are made? If this manual labor went into the making of each authentic shoe I would think Nike would charge way more than a couple hundred dollars retail. If this video is of the authentic shoe being made I will never complain about paying retail for a Nike shoe again.

[@edunpeal]

So much work put in just for a single pair, and they made almost 1M of these😮

[@DeepDishPizza]

These are replicas. Aka fakes.

[@tech4life884]

Nike needs to FIX the high squeaking the 11's have always had. All 11's squeak. The area between the soles air unit and the fabric of the sole on the inside of the shoe needs a material between them.

[@BlubberGod]

I really hope these people are paid very well for all of this.

[@TheManWhoSawTomorrow]

[@redscorpion9325]

Obviously not and if they were the Sneakers would double or triple for Retail Prices

[@BlubberGod]

Yea it blowz ass. They deserve more. I know some dont but i actually care about the employees. If my said company was making BILLIONS of dollars id make sure some of that shit trickles down to the team(be it outsourced or not) . Greed is not a part of my resume. Period.

[@ThePervertedHymns]

come on, you know they not or they would be made in the USA

[@billybassman21]

They are paid better than they were in the 90s when they were using child labor. People complain about the price, but they are actually cheaper now than back then when you adjust for inflation. The 11s were $125 in 1995, today they would be $250. The Gratitude's are going to retail for $225.

[@SoleMax23]

This debate has been going on for years. I’ve been comparing UA and Retail for years since 2012 and all I can say is that the legit top notch factories got it down to the T. They might not get the official Nike contracts to produce the shoes but they do get the same materials, schematics (for those out there wondering what schematics are, they’re the drawings/plans that break down the shoes design), molds, etc. Only thing that they don’t spend time and money on is the box. They have no control over that and the factories making the boxes I guess don’t really give a shit. As far as the shoe…you peeps out there take it however you want. The quality and effort that’s put on the UAs is top notch and it’s killing the resell and retail market. UAs are slowly becoming the purchase of choice for the masses who want the shoe to wear and look fresh without paying the retail inflated prices or the ridiculous resell prices. Now you see Retros sitting on shelves for retail and sitting on stockx for under retail cuz resellers can’t sell them and stores are not taking them back. Yeezys and retros nowadays purchased from the big retailers are “All sales are final” purchases. They are not taking back the shoes from resellers that cannot move the shoes for resell prices. The game has caught up on them and UAs are capitalizing the market. Just putting my two cents in! 👍🏽👊🏽
