So with your logic, if I buy a car and customize it by re-painting it a non-factory issued color...then my car is a variant or fake?Originally Posted by MJ All Day45
Technically they are...if you can't purchase them in a store with that exact colorway would they be? Regardless if they were authentic at one point. IMO your customs are terrible (no flame) as long as you enjoy them. who cares?
but they still look
As long as the shoes that you bought were authentic, then you are in the clear.
As for customs, I still haven't taken a side yet cause one day I will see one and be like

It's like if you painted your car a different color from its stock color. If you can make it look cleaner, go ahead and do it. If you do something whack though like choose questionable colors, of course people are going to look at you like you got on fake sneakers.

The car analogy isnt even a fair one
Come on
Be real in here
How many knock off vehicles is there around?
But fake jordans are all over the place
Therefore the reason why customs look fake on jordans.

True. Aight I will give you that and use a different analogy.
There are plenty of fake iPod/iPads/iPhones around.
If I bought a new authentic iPod and completely changed the color to a non-factory based colorway, is it now fake?

Yay if they look good, i love the AJKO black toes. What i'd really wanna see is a Varsity VI into a Sport Blue custom. I wanted to make a Stealth V into a Grape V but the leather isn't the same so that was a Nay. White Cement III into a Katrina III is a total Yay. The right color on the right shoe always works out

Wear what you like, but personally if I saw you with a pair of Jordans that didn't release, I'm assuming you're rockin fakes, no matter if they're customized or not.

Actually knock off cars are pretty common.
A customized authentic product and a replica are two completely different things. Putting them in the same category is complete idiocy.
