Good for you nerd

ion think anyone in real life would ever notice so why care

Dudes like Satan tossing and turning in his sleep over reps lol

you cant buy fake clothing and say other people are trying to impress other men lol. throwing stones in a glass house

if you swagless just say that

reps dont occupy no space in my mind because im not enough of a fashion victim to even consider them. im just calling yall losers because i call it how i see it brother

its funny because reps these days are literally 1:1 lmao

is that supposed to make it any less lame? if yall really didnt care about it being fake or other people knowing, yall wouldn't be so worried about whether its 1:1 or not.

case in point, ive yet to see anybody buy an unbranded rep of anything. where yall swooshless travis shoes?

Man emotional over some rubber and fabrics made in the same sweatshop :jordanlaff3:

ya u be s***posting alright

yall be going through 9 pages of mental gymnastics bc y'all cant accept the answer that wearing reps is a dweeb activity

like ya buy & wear reps if u want

its still lame tho

They aren't 1:1 though. That's a myth. I've seen reps and they are usually poor quality and not as durable as the authentic clothes. Obviously normal people won't be able to tell the flaws on the better ones but they definitely aren't 1:1. I think my biggest gripe is more with rep culture. How it's full of hypebeasts and tiktok trend hoppers. None of these folks know how to dress or actually put together an outfit with these pieces. Now I'm seeing kids in high school wearing fake Rick Owens and Balenciaga, just looking cringe cause they have no clue how to actually wear these pieces and are just clear trend hoppers

Why is it okay for Europeans to practice capitalism and not the Chinese?

if you know where to look 1:1 reps are everywhere

i agree though rep culture is lame and them niggas rarely know how to dress lol

1. Whether they’re reps or real, you could still not know how to dress lol.

2. Does it matter at all whether it’s real or not if they’re not trying to sell it to others as real or flex it as real?

3. Do you feel empowered or special because you spent a lot on real clothing? Does it make you feel better about yourself?

There’s an argument that both are lame af. One isn’t more lame than the other.

Not true. The best reps are like 0.8:1 but those are much more expensive. Most people buy the s***tier ones that go for cheap

1. you'll be more likely to find and develop your personal style if you cant just blindly trend hop every trend with reps

2. not really, but most of the time it will be apparent/fit or look worse

3. no not at all, I also dont pay resell prices for anything

I think people who buy the real thing are more likely to actually like the pieces and have an understanding of how to wear it. People who buy reps are more likely to be trend hoppers/hypebeasts that are just trying to ride a wave

reps really made stanning any type of brand corny to me, cause i second guess if anything is real or not so i don’t pay attention past that

Yeah I understand the trend hopping aspect but I feel like most people see pieces worn by celebrities and try their best to copy that.

Most people who shop specifically for brands don’t have their own sense of style imo.

and while most reps are terrible, there’s like an entire underground for getting near 1:1 stuff so unless you’re physically inspecting, it would seem nearly impossible to tell idk.

….so basically reps are bad, got it
