THE TRUTH ABOUT UA SNEAKERS | Are UA Sneakers Real??

[@kevindurden337]

Fun facts, there's no such thing as NIKE factory. NIKE only sub-contract production to overseas factories. At present there are around 146 factories in China employing 189,000 workers. Nike make a large variety of products in factories across China. As Asian, we know Chinese very well and we know how they make more money than they suppose to.

Everyone is free to feel how they feel. I have gotten pairs from nike direct via mail and in person with bad stitching, bad leather, paint issues, color issues, etc. I did the factory variant thing when I was young also, and loved going home to NY and buying off the street. All of that stuff was awful. Terrible everything. Today, the sneaker business is making private people millions of dollars, so it only makes sense that people are going to find a way to shit on (in many cases) an amazing alternative. I will NEVER spend 500 plus dollars on some nikes or some adidas, but the APPS won't even let you get them if you wanted! The brands are forcing people who just love sneakers and looking fly to look for other alternatives. I have had hundreds of pairs of retail. I was the nike factory store king for years. Now the outlets don't have shit, you never hit on the apps, and kobes cost 600 dollars. F all that. The UAs of today are as good as retail, often times better. I have had UAs authenticated by sneaker experts in my face, never in life have I had someone question my kicks. Everyone claims to be an expert, but I have held a UA and a retail in my hands of the same shoes, and boy do you have to reach to find differences, IF THERE EVEN ARE ANY. and who is telling you to take your shoes off, putting black lights on them, or checking leather density on the street?

Some brands destroy their "b-grade" merchandise. Some brands send them to outlets and stores like TJ Maxx. Why in the world would people believe the largest apparel company in the world would just "lose" extra materials and turn a blind eye for contractors to manufacture more of their products is just nuts. By that definition you should be able to buy a UA iPhone, UA iPad, etc. Since Apple also uses favorites in China to manufacture their products too and they have "left over" materials.

[@KicksonKicks]

Shhhhh… you’re being logical way too loudly lol

[@andrewwhite8651]

You can totally buy all that stuff in China...(iPhone, iPad, etc). They actually have entire shopping malls and markets dedicated to high quality replicas of all types of products. That being said, I don't really believe the whole U.A. myth, but if you're saying that there are no replica Apple products that are extremely close to retail, you're dead wrong.

[@_illmatic_]

@@andrewwhite8651 there's absolutely no website where you can buy a brand new current gen iPhone, iPad, or MacBook for a quarter of the retail price. That's the point it's not "high quality replica".

1. Alot of these factories get the original molds for the original shoe from the subcontracted nike factories 2. Now most of the UAs are actually better quality then retail because they send qc pictures before they send you your pair so if you see any defects you can have them swap it out and send you a pair with no flaws 3. Ive seen plenty of UAs that are better quality then retail like jordan 11, jordan 1 , chunky dunkys etc. the good ua companies try hard to perfect to where as nike just sends them shits out to stores with all types of glue stains etc. the ua companys deal directly with buyers so they try to avoid any flaws

Real materials means it’s a real shoe…. It’s simple.

[@SmittDawgg]

All of this makes you have to ask the question….. what is “real” ? If the shoes are all made out of leather, nubuck, suede, rubber, etc. Why is one considered real and the other considered fake ? In the early 2000s there was definitely a difference, but now….. it’s all the same. There is no such thing as real and fake anymore.

[@xaviveras9752]

I'd add that its all branding, if the "real" pair is recognized and sold by the Brand, then they're "real"...but the fact of the matter is, that they're made in the same place where these "fake" shoes are made. Yeah, you could argue quality or durability differences, but "real" pairs also come with minor and noticeable flaws. The game has changed.

[@KicksonKicks]

That’s not a fact though. They’re not made in the same place. Unless we’re just naming the whole country of China as the place.

Both are the same exact shoe, regardless of where they were made. Unless the Nike logo is spelled wrong or some crazy off the wall shit, ain’t no point in calling a 1:1 rep fake.

[@JPR22]

One thing you can at least hold to merit of the UA sneaker title is that they are supposed to be the highest grade regardless of the background story, so it is best to go for them if you want close to 100% correct. From speaking to many suppliers it seems they still acquire the blueprint back door from the factories and try to match them, in some cases you can find the materials are slightly off but even higher quality funnily specifically with leathers. There are still slight differences with every individual release so you have to look at every colourway of every shoe compared to retail to see the differences

[@Wrcallofduty420]

First of all, I’m 40 years old and been a sneaker head for quite a while now. I’ve sold nearly all my authentic sneakers. Except for my Chicago ones and bred ones. But I know what a real sneaker looks like and what it smells like and what the leather feels like ir the cheap leather that they typically used to make these shoes. So I can say and I can attest that UA’s or replicas are the same. Like I said, I’ve been buying shoes for over 20+ years now and every single pair of authentic sneakers I’ve had always have some slight errors with the stitching or you could see the glue or the guidelines I’ve had a pair of shoes that both don’t look the same. People need to understand that all these shoes are handmade in the same factories. People need to stop falling for these resellers by giving them your hard earned money for a pair of sneakers that probably cost $15 or $20 of materials to make in China.

The guy has been making shoes for 35 years by hand so he knows a thing or two about that

[@supavegetasama]

We own factories producing only adidas collabs. When there’s a collab, they send us nearly the exact amount of fabric to produce the quantity ordered. Usually margin for error is 1 shoe. If there is an incident that occurs, we don’t just pick up the phone and ask for more fabric. There’s an entire process behind to ensure UA’s don’t happen. We don’t produce mass quantity models, so not aware of how those work. But I imagine Nike operates a similar way. So to say there’s many UA of collabs and exclusive Nikes is a little shocking for me.

[@supavegetasama]

However, I will say I’ve seen first hand “factories”, where ex employees quit and purchase old equipments that factories like ours retire (either because we upgrade new equipment for new technology or from wear and tear) and they have the skills and equipment to make nearly perfect replicas. 10 years ago, there were still many flaws. But over a decade, they have become nearly perfect. You could argue, if it was the early 2,000s QC team would approve. QC now is very different than the past. There are bad replicas out there, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

[@pooolish334]

At this point, it's not about feeling bad or justifying wearing replicas. It's that spending $500+ on a $150 nike shoe is absurd. If you want to rock some Travis Scott Nikes you're going to have to spend a ton of money on a nike shoe that someone is profiting 2-5 times the price it costed them. People with good contacts getting these limited shoes for the sole purpose of storing them until they can profit triple the price on them. This is when good replicas come into play. If the shoe is on the shelf, then yes, get the Authentic pair. But if the shoe has an absurd price on it (like the Travis Scott ones) then get the PK, H12/KickWho "godkiller" replica and you will be able to rock shoes that you couldn't in the first place. This shoe game today is disgusting. They hype a shoe or they buy out a limited shoe for the sole purpose of cashing in on them and then they shame you for wearing reps. Wanting you to buy the Authentic pair at an absurdly inflated price that they themselves made in the first place. Who are the evils one here actually?

Those pairs go through an additional QC check so the 75,000 pairs only 25,000 pairs get selected for your known retailers : footlocker etc. what the hell you think the left over pairs from Nike and back at the factory?

At my age, I don’t go out like I used to. I may take my grandkids out somewhere or even my teenage kids to the movies and whatnot. So who would even be able to tell if my shoes were UA or not. I’m about to pull the trigger on the Jordan 4 motorsports and the Breds, both for $270 out the door. As opposed to $1,000+ for legit ones. If I like the comfort and look, I’d probably choose to get replicas of the shoes that are way too expensive for no reason like these pairs. I don’t mind spending $300 or even $400 which I have in the past on some J’s but when we get into the $600 range…for a pair I’ll probably wear once every few months, and during that once it would be for a couple of hours max…it just makes more sense. I’ll keep you posted.

Hxll 300 400 is still too much. Man I'm telling you, just make that switch. To UA. There's a sneaker boutique here in my city that does us dirty on their pricing. So I ordered a couple UAs and put them in the real box. Took them to them to legit check and see if they'd buy. They got happy is fxck and wanted to buy them, so I said "shoot me a number" just know they killed themselves 😂. Imma try them again soon, I'm tired of them playing predators to these kids and other people just trynna buy a pair of kicks they like

After you wear a pair of Max Cushion Skechers, no other shoe will feel the same. Don't know how basketball players can wear them tight ass Nikes.

Do you have a recommendation where to get best UA Air Jordan 11 concords with the 23 on heel? I found on sneakerwade but still $150. Cheaper is preferred but that’s not too bad.

need help im buying my first ua pair from an online shop, how to know about the size/measurements? thanks

[@Standdividedfalltogether]

80% of the time the suede is lower quality so is the leather. But most of the time is so not noticeable who gives a shit. I’m not paying 1000 for a shoes that dropped this week. It hasn’t aged, there’s not a limited amount, it’s just shoes that were sent to secondary market instead sold as retail. It’s all bullshit.

[@Yannis-bt6cy]

So where can I get authentic shoes cause I wanna start a business

[@gregkareem9824]

Goat ebay

[@kirk7504]

They have the same machines and materials when u pay for the higher end NA . They have caught up with the times . It’s almost scary . The Yeezy 350 , jordan 1 and 11 are spot on . The dunks are 98% spot on . At the end of the day shoes are just leather and glue rock the snot of them and stay fresh

[@KicksonKicks]

I’ve reviewed a few of the Yeezys. I’d NEVER trust anyone other than a retail store and even them I’m iffy about. That’s how good the fakes are lol

[@kirk7504]

@@KicksonKicks they won’t authenticate 11’s on the apps . It’s crazy , and Nikes QC has gone to shit . I feel like the over sea sellers have more to lose by letting shitty pairs thru

[@albertaguilar681]

Hi, where can me buy UA?

[@swoosh1sh]

No such thing as UA unfortunately they are mostly fakes/reps. Materials are always easy to replicate in the tear down process of the shoe to study the materials. But the thing is when it comes to air units, tech etc. they are produced somewhere else meaning not the same factory. They are just illegally produced replica shoes

[@Jmelpegues]

These sellers be having people think they got retail no. Are they the shoes that didn't pass qc no no no no heck no they aren't stupid in China you'll pay more then resell for a shoe off of the assembly line now the early shoes with no box yes. A seller told me they get them but you're going to pay resell for a retail. So $170 or more you're buying a mid if lucky a top tier replica shoe. I say this save your money if you miss a release go for the next one just hold on to that money or buy a car

[@ALGreeneHTown]

Man I've been buying legit sneakers my whole life. I love shoes just to buy and wear not to flip and make money. It's so hard to get some jordans now. I've recently bought a pair of midnight navy 4 reps and man they look good!. The real ones sold out so I took a chance and got the UA pair. I will always try to buy the legit pair 1st but if I can't get it ill go the UA route cuz I'm not paying over retail price.. I got wife n kids and bills lol 😆. I buy the higher tier Reps. Man my plug even sold out on the lost and founds reps.... 😂 crazy yo!!

Hello! I js watched this vid and wanted to know how did you do this snkrs biz at high school! Where to buy em, how to sell em shoes, et cetera.

[@KicksonKicks]

simple version, I bought the shoes in bulk at a discount, and sold them to friends or online. Didn't know at the time they were replicas. All the people I was in business with back then have shut down or assumed other names. Not sure how you'd get something like that started now, or if you would want to. Bc it's definitely illegal lol

Who cares about the box or a bit less in quality in shoes look at the price man 40$ vs 400$
