nah the 750 outer rubber soles are different, doesn't chip like the 350.

And for the people who are saying wear your shoes, I agree. But some of yall complain about the JB quality control, but come in here saying "wear your shoes" and act like complaints can't be made about some adidas shoes?

I dont buy jordans anymore lol...

So I know that wasn't me lol
 
I wasn't specifically pointing anyone, but saying theres always going to be complaints about quality control so other people telling people to wear their shoes and stop *****in don't really make sense to me. People are wearing their shoes though, they're just pointing out that paint rubs off on the first wear without doing much activity in them. Theres a difference between getting dirt on your soles (which should happen) and paint coming off just from wearing it 1 time especially for the $200 price point. Just like how people complain about the 750 boost zipper breaking or Mirror Foams paint finish chipping, like yeah I'm rocking it but I didn't pay $300 for a 1 time wear shoe. I agree to the "wear your shoes" part to an extent, such as creasing and dirt on your soles which should happen. But when a shoe "falls apart" on the 1st wear, then I'd be more worried about wearing it and will speak my mind. 

FYI, I'm not complaining about the paint, been wearing mine since the day I got it and didn't even complain about the holes. I'm just saying that I understand why people are complaining.

Understandable.

I knew this would be an issue right off the bat when I held my pair. I told myself.

"This sole is nowhere near as durable as the 750's" lol

i really dont wanna start a whole replica thing.

but how do they get the materials so close.

are they using adidas materials? like stolen and putting the shoe together themselves?

Some of the Legit factory workers probably trying to make some cash on the side once they realized the the sneaker market overseas.

One of the Rep videos for the 350s actually said their pair was made by a Factory worker, and that is the reason the newer UA's are so close.
 
Exactly. I been wearing mine since I got em pretty regularly but noticed the paint coming off and exposing the foam sole. Also to the one dude that said "if you're worried about getting the sides dirty change your walking pattern." Do you own a pair? Because the paint comes off so easy and I wasn't saying that it gets dirty I'm saying once the paint comes off it gives the shoe a dirty look. The foam cannot be cleaned easily if at all. And that sucks.
 
HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE THREAD IN A BIT. SEES "13,682 NEW POSTS".


CLICKS DIRECTLY TO THE END. NOT GONNA READ TO CATCH UP. :lol

Same factories and workers are a myth people used to pass fakes off to people that wouldn't normally buy them.
What happens in China is just straight up corporate espionage, they pay employees to steal anything they want to duplicate while its in production then reverse engineer it themselves to make the counterfeit.

The mythical third shift doesn't exist, fakes are made by different people at a different location entirely. That's why stitching will always be slightly off no matter how close the get to a perfect copy. Same with materials and build quality. The fakes usually get good enough to fool most people in pictures but once you get them in hand they'll never pass a side by side comparison.
