fake's are pretty shitty IMO....i only see the poor people purchase them because they have no way else trying to buy $200+ sneakers every week plus the limited production run. vs $50 for replicas....it should be looked down upon like LG's buying fake LV purses.

Chinese counterfeits will never be 100% as the real thing...as much as they say 1:1 - super perfect - Grade AAA+ as marketing

they will feel like 2 dollar shoes because they are!....there most likely made in a slave factory paying workers 20 cents a day...so the mark-up on what you think you're getting a good deal on is probably making someone a millionaire.

again,you're not fooling anyone but yourself,your feet will be sore as shit like stepping on cardboard shoes....all these nikes/air jordans...they leave out the air cushion for plastic alone...they don't care,more $$$ for them cutting costs..long as the outside looks okay they don't care about the inside at all...again...anything in china can be created for fakes if their is money to be made.

i wouldn't recommend throwing your money away...no quality control,cheap low cost material...the shoes will fall apart sooner or later & sometimes dealing with these counterfeiters is sketchy....they don't send all the items you ordered as a scam and there's no way of getting your $$$ back because its already in their hands.
