Vlogmas 19 | would I wear UA sneakers (fakes) | My understanding, and views on them over legits

[@Swooshman_3]

I just copped my first pair of UA’s; the Mocha 1’s. I am and have always been skeptical of UA’s but after taking L after L & my girl getting the exclusive drop of the Mocha’s I decided to dip my toes in the water. They just arrived last week & I wore them today. I am extremely happy; yes there are flaws compared to the retail versions, but they’re small and not visible while on foot. There’s only a couple kicks that If I couldn’t cop retail I would consider UA’s. At my age, who TF is gonna question me and my fit?! I dare a kid to... and grown folks don’t check another grown person’s pockets or fits. I now completely understand now if people resort to UA’s, but do your homework. Buy from trusted sellers (s/o to Reddit) & use trusted payment methods...

It’s not really Fake when it’s from China where authentics are made and the materials and blueprints are the same. They just aren’t authorized by Nike.

I learned late lol

[@tjgotkicks3466]

Then why can’t you resell them?

[@soILLitsADVISED]

@@tjgotkicks3466 lol, You can but you should let the buyer know it’s not “authorized” or store bought. The rest is up to them to green light

[@TwoSpirit06]

@@tjgotkicks3466 Be careful selling those. I wouldn't say that I was or advertise. You'll be like Rupa with the popo at your door.

[@soILLitsADVISED]

That resale QC pic idea from consignment shops is the best direction because I can bid based on the condition of the actual pair I’m buyin (like eBay).

If I want it and can’t get it retail than UAs are my best option.

[@doodiesduties658]

I’m witcha fam

[@lujanlegacy5907]

Agreed

[@TwoSpirit06]

Yep you have to be smart about your money and UAs look the same as authentic.

[@lujanlegacy5907]

The mass produced shoes from Nike/Jordan brand are made in multiple factories. Authentic shoes have many inconsistencies. Some Authentics have more flaws than the UA’s. Especially the Jordan 3’s. The elephant print shape varies a lot. I have several pairs I compared to verify. That’s why I don’t mind UA’s when the Sneakers app gives me an L.

[@doodiesduties658]

I totally agree 🤝
