Jordan 1 Chicago - Reimagined aka Lost and Found - November 19, 2022

Maybe its because im in my 30s or because im a 6'4' 245 black guy but this never happens to me. I might get some looks or the occasional compliment if im wearing some dope but ive never been approached and ask me any questions about where my shoes came from or how much i paid.

Whenever I’m rocking a fresh pair of kicks, I’m always asked at least one of these questions after getting complimented on them:

“Where’d you cop from?”
“How much did you score em for?”

So for those who are into fakes, how do you answer that question? Y’all just lie, or are you straight up telling em you’re rocking fugazis? Because either answer seems like a lose/lose to me. Lol
Sounds like they lining you up for the vic. If they ask what size they are, run :lol
 
Nobody will need fakes, there’s gonna be pairs for everyone. Production amount gonna be close to 7 figures 😏 expect a percentage of those pairs to come in plain orange boxes..🫢
Excuse my ignorance lol but what is the meaning/significance of the last part referring to some coming in plain boxes
 
With the way these rumors are spreading, it's either gonna be an epic release numbers wise or the pump fake of the century
It’s gonna be plenty of Ls to go around and then everybody gonna get mad and blame the resellers/bots/backdooring when in reality they just never made that many pairs to begin with

Update:

Linked up with MJ today for lunch. He was trying to keep as much under wraps as possible, but he mentioned there will be a second wave, but also a third wave released that stores will sell at $24.99. To mimic the OG sale price. Looking good fellas. 🔥#BirdmanHandRub.

Good one.


















 
Kid came up to me and said nice shoes I have the same ones (was wearing 350 Zebras) and I could tell from a mile away his were fake asf. I asked where he got them and he said his friend. Told him he might wanna get those checked out.

So if you get good fakes I guess so. If you’re gonna be a scumbag, at least get good asf fakes :lol:


I've had students try to test me with that. Had one kid a few years back who got fake Yeezys, and another one brought him to me to legit check. Broke his heart. That kid's brother tried to question one of my pairs and kept asking how I knew mine were real. Told him unless Adidas was selling fakes directly from their website, I was pretty sure. Had another kid last year come in my room and say "Blake says all your shoes are fakes." I said "no he didn't," and then that kid proceeded to call him out in front of the class. I told him to present any evidence he had, and we could debate it from there. Whole class went oooooooo! and in a shocker to absolutely nobody, kid never said another word. :rofl:

Man it’s **** like this is why replicas are toxic af for the community. It creates this atmosphere of constant suspicion, distrust, and paranoia. It’s so obvious Idk why anyone tries to argue resellers are worse. At least resellers always been an accepted part of the game. Flight Club’s been around since mid 2000s. Fakes are not and never were accepted

It's kinda funny, because for the most part it's a very easy rapport builder with most of the students I have. They get excited to come show me their new pairs, no matter what brand or style. They ask me for cleaning tips. They ask me if I've seen whatever unattainable hypebeast shoe is about to drop. Matter of fact, literally saw a kid this morning with the black/royal Jumpman Pros and he got super fired up when I told him I had them back in the day and they were one of my all time favorites. The instances like the fake accusations are super rare, and most kids have fun with it. It's also funny trying to get them to understand that just because they haven't seen them, doesn't mean they're new. Stuff like that allows me to preach taking care of your belongings and to take pride in your appearance.
