The mods get a cut of the money from the fashion industrial complex on every purchase made by any ktt member. The mods are always watching even when you aren't.

bro u talking about pheromones and piss tf is wrong with you man u gotta chill

this is cap because you do not dress well

imagine getting this heated over some fake shoes lmao

the moment you buy fake hypebeast shoes you lose the ability to call anyone else corny for doing anything

hope u flip them ugly ass docs bro 🤧🤧

better than being a barista king

i dont get paid hourly, nice try tho

good luck flipping them undercover umbrellas to try to make rent 🙈

people who are pro-reps have valid points on buying something that's basically the same item as the original but i feel like it's best to stay away from reps just for respect to fashion culture and the designers themselves

i do agree tho that it's dumb asl to buy shoes for resell but there are so many alternatives out there and buying reps is just the easy way out

These designers straight up copy designs of shoes at cheaper prices and mark up the prices because they know people will buy to flex.

Margiela literally made an AF1 copy and made it like $500. SLP copied AJ1 and did the same thing. Etc. etc.

you can't compare reps to margiela and SLP that are more so influenced by those specific designs rather than them copying designs

The Margielas are straight copies. Rick literally got sued by Nike for the dunks because he copied the swoosh. Stop moving cgoalposts

they're not straight copies tho lmaooo. they're not out here replicating every specific detail like reps. you can't even compare the two, reps are trying to replicate the exact shoe while these designers are adding their own twist to it

yall mad as s*** itt

i found out about the current rep game after i spent $450 on some aquas i could've gotten for $100. that s*** had me sick af

nigga really trying to compare rick dunks and gats to 1:1 'tryna copy and look real' fakes

there's a whole intent of 'i want people to think these are real' behind fakes. whether or not ppl that get fakes claim they care about others opinions thats literally the reason they exist

these mental gymnasstics

Same exact thing to me. Funny thing is Rick literally started his fashion career creating counterfeits so it’s just the cycle. Fakes exist because there is a market for them, that’s why they exist. People are getting fakes for everything even cheap items. There are people getting fakes for basic AF1s that can be bought in store

fakes exist mainly because people can't afford them. that's the market. that doesn't mean anything to me. it's simply 'not enough money but i want this/want ppl to think i have this'

nobody would ever see a dunk and think "damn he got on nikes, i seen those at the nike store" or some s***. that's why it's not the same. nobody bought dunks for the reason niggas buy fakes either

cause alternatives exist, and ppl still don't get them. stuff like knockoffs and s*** are slightly different because intent but when it's simply the former

It's skipping the line on swag. I get that shoes are overpriced and overhyped.
Don't wear those shoes then.
I'd respect someone's pair of Shaq's more than some reps tbh

All that to say, the quality on the last couple pairs of Jordan's ive bought has been kind of s*** 🥴 loose threads, uneven paint lines etc

it has more to do with the fact that we paying full price and they're paying less than half for essentially the same thing
