    This thread is cope, and it ultimately comes back to caring too much about what people think. Your biggest fear in life is a kid in recess exposing that your shoes are fake

    if your willing to rip people off for their hard work, ur hard work will be ripped off.

    There are principles to life and it isn’t caring what others think, they jealous you can afford it and they cant.

    You continue to be fake, we will point it out

    What's s***ty about it? If you have the option to buy the real thing do that obviously; but if you're buying off the secondary market, none of that money is going to the original creator. It's a dubious ethical argument

    you answered it yourself, I will make you see. If you buy “secondary” the original work is not awarded, therefore, your stealing the food out of the creators mouth.

    so you're against paying resale for authentic designer stuff

    no, ur strawman. Buying resale is still awarding the creator as ur supporting their brand by not buying fake.

    I meant secondary market as black market fake

    How if the creator's not getting a cut

    How if the creator's not getting a cut

    he did by the original person buying it then reselling. Your essentially passing off the brand through resale as authentic and will advertise authenticity rather than fake

    What if it's not about signaling status and you just like the way s*** looks, or it's a rare piece you won't find in sellable condition. Some shoe designs like 2007 MF Doom dunks for example are genuinely unique, there's no affordable substitute and most "deadstock" pairs on the market are likely to be reps at this point

    I could understand this argument, but the only things that get repped are the most conspicuous and instantly recognizable items. Deep down we all know that it is about the status symbol

    the only way secondary market is legitimate if it fell off back of truck aka stolen authentic

    As much as s*** cost now a days I could give a f*** if someone buys reps.

  • TheRocket64

    What kills me is that most designer stuff is mid/trash

    The best dressed people usually have the least expensive fits tbh

    that’s why i support reps they need to get their game up so we should take money out of their pocket till they do

    the sweetspot is heritage/streetwear brands in the 200-500 range. you can tell when a fit is fast fashion: the fabric is thin as f***, the patterns look blurry and painted on, no attention to the finer details, etc. Only cheap stuff I'll wear is Uniqlo U, Levis, etc.

    Gas is almost $5 average. Rates are +7%. Both are only going to continue to go up. Someone rocking reps is the least of my worries.

  • I got MF Doom dunks because it's my grail shoe and it's a 20 year old colorway that I doubt anyone is still keeping on ice and I'm not paying $2k for someone's stinky shoes
