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 have a rep pair of Kobe 8 BHM, everything but the kobe symbol in the back are identical, even the nice insole is in my reps. I compared it to my friends authentic kobe BHM, he was surprised that they were pretty much spot on. No rep will ever be a perfect match, that's why they're reps but I've seen some pretty much identical versions that would give the authentics a run for their money. I'm talking look wise of course.

You're free to think whatever you want about people buying reps and how they feel but like I said, some people, like myself who don't need performance, don't feel the need to spend the extra money, we're happy with the way the shoe looks. To each their own

PS The LG's with the fake purses try to pass them on as authentic
