Thank you for making these videos… you claim not to be a pro at verifying, but you sir have had your hands on more fakes than most. I definitely value your opinion.

[@snide.]

I appreciate that. I’ve learned to know what to look for, but that doesn’t mean I can guarantee to get it right every time. Yeezy busta used to claim that and we saw how that went…best to keep it humble and keep learning

[@vileslay94]

This honestly is the best fake-check video right now for these popular, highly-sought out shoes for new year. Even though a commenter made you do it, it’s still very helpful right now. Thank you! 🙏

[@snide.]

Thanks man! Yeah I’d have done it regardless, and the commentator only gave me an incentive to make it slightly more interesting. They don’t bother me - i just figured I’d use his comments for content instead.

[@theogpop]

Great review and what a great punch back on the annoying commenter. I actually used your video to do my own quality check. I got my pair from GOAT. Everything matched up. Well done

[@cmazz_318]

Great vid. I can only expect the inconsistencies to narrow the longer they produce them. I like both shown so, there's that. Thanks for the extra effort on this one man🤙🏼

[@snide.]

Agreed - I think they already have…I’ll get my hands on them and do a 2.0

[@pattonPwr]

Wish you can do a video blog at the Nike factory..or even images from the outside. That would be really interesting… even trying to speak with any of the employees

[@dirtysneakers]

I always enjoy your reviews and explanations.

[@snide.]

Thank you for checking them out!

[@dirtysneakers]

I wanna visit China in May. Any chance for a meetup and strain thru these markets?

[@ghegabtat]

Thanks Snide. Really detailed review, Mores subs for you!

[@snide.]

Thanks for the sub! Share the video with anyone it’s useful for! I don’t do it for the views, I’m just a shoe nerd, but if it helps someone out, that’s a huge bonus!

[@swoosh1sh]

Great video bud. Thanks for the comparison. It could help those who may need it for legit checking 👌👌

[@snide.]

Glad it was helpful! Hope it helps folks in the US next week

[@CareyLikeMomo]

Thank you for making this vdo particularly !! ❤❤❤ I was worried that I got the fake one!

[@snide.]

Glad I could help!

[@CareyLikeMomo]

@@snide. 😍😍😍😍 but please no knife next time ahaha 🤣

[@luv4kickz741]

Another BANG ON REVIEW!!!! Always love the content!!! Remember to smash the thumbs up and keep it SNIDEY!!!!!

[@snide.]

Cheers Will

[@devs1590]

Also did you get a Chinese sticker on the bottom? Mine from Hong Kong still have the Chinese info on the bottom from store, thought it was cool.

[@oojii6285]

Great info.

[@snide.]

Glad it was helpful!

[@barryschalkwijk9388]

the easiest giveaway is that the scales on the sideheel part are irregular while on the fake ones it's an even pattern throughout

[@smokeyfuma]

Great Video 📹 Salutes 🍻

[@snide.]

Thanks man

[@vcmtbpinoyito]

Good job man👍

[@snide.]

Thanks for the visit

[@kingofgames5254]

Can you do a comparison of j balvin jordan 3

[@devs1590]

The charm should be silver under light and the fake one has a slight goldish tint.

[@renatorodrigues5016]

Great info

[@snide.]

Hopefully useful for the US after the release next week

[@osholajones5084]

Dam your content is king. I feel like I'm the last bugger to see your channel.Where would find a high quality dupe vendor ??? As the one you just used for the review ? Stay bless brethren

[@snide.]

Thanks for your kind words. My channel was taken down a year or so ago, so this new isn’t so big. I can’t share that info on here, it’s against terms of service and I’ll get taken down again.

[@osholajones5084]

@@snide. I totally understand. You got a discord or on IG . Can I run something by you brethren ?

[@Nerfedjosh]

Nice review sir it is not important if the shoes are not the same as real but the happiness I feel to have this pair of shoes

[@snide.]

Enjoy!

[@user-yn4bm8js1e]

do u know LJ batch for this pair

[@joelock6918]

hey bro, i had a discord issue and need a new link if at all possible? great content as always my guy

[@snide.]

Thanks man. No more discord. It’s gone.

[@BURP39R]

One other thing I've found. I have 3-4 pairs of reps now. Insoles are never glued in. Funny.

[@joumasevoet]

Hey quick question! I see on retail pairs the back heel varies a lot, some have the wide pattern for the snake skin like yours at 7:44, some is the same as the toe pattern, have you noticed the same?

[@snide.]

That was what I noticed when I was looking these up! Though it’s the same on both shoes on my pair. Have to wait for the US release and see more pairs out there.

[@joumasevoet]

@@snide. Glad I'm not alone in this, I ordered my pair with a local reseller, Thailand based. Authenticated and arriving this week, will hit you up and let you know what the pairs here look like when they arrive.

[@snide.]

Most likely genuine mate, but yeah, be sure to check back here when they’re in hand and check them over!

[@joumasevoet]

@@snide. Yupp, they're the biggest company here, basically GOAT but for Thailand, called SASOM. Never had anyone get fakes from them, and the past two kicks I got from them were legit so I got no worries for them, but will definitely go over them when I get them in hand which will be in late march as I'm currently abroad. Thanks for the replies man, really appreciate it and the content you put out!

[@solepriority]

💪💪💪💪

[@isaacromero740]

is there no more discord ?

[@DonnyDrapers]

What happened to the Discord & your IG?

[@nobtonghaing]

The different is one is 400+$ and another one is 40$ just buy

[@Offroadhanson12]

Is the oposit your comments are right

[@SiddarthSharma-qu6dx]

Where did you get the fake ones from? And for how much?

[@snide.]

That’s not the purpose of this video.

[@rogermartinez9943]

I just got mine from goat and I’ve noticed one side is slightly long than the other is that normal ? Other than that the scales on both shoes are exactly the same as the retail pair in your vid. Never mind one side is real while the other side is fake. Can’t believe this would pass verification. Wow just wow I bought 8 pairs of shoes off of goat. Who knows if the other pairs are real or fake. This is my last purchase from goat. I’m DONE. NO MORE BUYING STUFF FROM GOAT. I’m only buying shoes of the sneakers/Nike app or from retail stores. And if I can’t get the shoes I want on the release date then that’s OK because IM ABSOLUTELY DONE PURCHASING FROM GOAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GET MORE MONEY OUT OF ME. PLUS IM NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THESE OVERPRICED SHOES FROM GOAT FOR IT TO BE HALF ASS REAL.

[@snide.]

One real and one fake? Are you certain? That’s bonkers, why would someone do that? I’d really like to see this pair - if you could DM me on IG? @_snide

[@panik28]

I'm more worried that the shoe hasn't been released yet and there are already some fakes out there.

[@snide.]

Yeah US release is next week right? This is always going to happen with this type of shoe - the demand will be high for it here in China and other areas of Asia, let alone in the west. There’ll be an updated version soon enough too I reckon. Saw it with the year of the rabbits last time.

[@K_j_M]

Who is that walloper haha... Some people need some real issues in their lives 😂

[@acemany1126]

The scales on the back heel is a dead giveaway. The real pair have some big to small scales....vs the fake scales are all mostly small. Besides that, crazy similar.

[@snide.]

Right? You’d struggle seeing them walking by though. I think they’ve actually improved this pair already. I’ll do an update

[@LegitCheckers]

If he is a real man he will apologize in the comments.

[@snide.]

We likely won’t hear from him again. Maybe it was a troll? Either way, it spurred me to make the video I was being lazy about doing.

[@tariksultanigy6839]

Bruh 😐 those scales really don’t match…I hope the snides are able to replicate the real ones.

[@snide.]

There will be revisions, there always are. The retails haven’t climbed in price though. See what happens with the US release

[@asiankid5036]

why the fake is way more better

[@snide.]

In my humble opinion, neither are better - they’re just different and the same.

[@BURP39R]

When you get hate it makes me think of Gervais and "guitar lessons". If you aren't interested fuck off then! Don't watch the video! It's just madness!🫣😂🤣

[@snide.]

That’s exactly right! The whole world’s knowledge and entertainment on their phone and they decide to get upset about something they elected to watch? 😂
