Someones a bit butthurt that more people are going to be wearing yeezys.. Hypebeast WE know about ya
QFT.Well no, cuz they won't actually be wearing yeezy's. they're not yeezy's, no matter how bad you want them to be, no matter how close they get.
Funny, you're calling me the hype beast when you're the one who wants a shoe so bad you're trying to justify buying and wearing fake shoes (now that's beasting). If you don't have it, or don't wanna drop the bread, then that's it. Move on.
To me, it's not about liking things to be limited, hype, exclusive, or anything. I buy things i like, and pass on things I don't, or can't afford (I want Mag's, but I don't wanna spend that much on 'em, and I certainly wouldn't buy a fake pair)... Hype does not sway my purchases... This issue is about me not liking anything fake. To a lot of people who really love sneakers, to the people that this isn't just some fad to be cool, a lot of us wouldn't dare taint our collection with a fake shoe. I love 'em too much to ever do that.
I like Lambo's, I want one, but can't afford it. But I'm not gonna try to customize, or pay someone to customize a car to look like a Lambo. That would be silly, and you still wouldn't have a Lambo. Lol. Now if you have a real Lambo and wanna customize it, paint it, whatever, that's different (I once had a paid of J's customized, so I figured I'd put that out there)...

This is exactly the point I was trying to make earlier in the thread. Repped!u cant compare a car...
here my 2 cents on the topic
I know many wealthy people, people that are wealthy enough to live next to kobe and they buy a lot of fake stuff like purses or shirts... some people willing to drop $$$ for authentic stuff some people rather buy fake and use money on other stuff. who cares, its kind of like trying to get rid of racism... its always going to be there no matter what.
at the end of the day its ur money buy what you want. who cares about hypebeast or the person next to you.

There seems to be a rash of threads like these, and every last one of them should be locked. NT is not a place for people discuss high-end replicas of sneakers.
AgreededRight, and that's fine. If you want to buy fakes, that's on you. If you want to lie to yourself and the rest of the world, that's your prerogative, Bobby Brown.
But, you shouldn't be tainting what was once considered the pinnacle of the sneaker enthusiast community (but is now a borderline cesspool since this thread has made it 12 damn pages) with talk of FAKES and tortured justifications for why it's okay to buy fakes.
Yes, people buy bang bang goods all the time. People buy fake Yeezys all the time. But, people who truly love sneakers don't.

i disagree with this. I agree they shouldnt be arguing why or why not buy rep but they should be discuss so that people have knowledge when they are trying to check for authenticity
A hypebeast at their prime. If you can't afford them don't get them.Grown men who are complaining about people getting these high quality fakes need to re-evaluate there priorities and life, especially if they are justifying spending 3grand on a shoe.
At the same time I agree with the poster above completely correct. especially with the airmag comparison.
AAAAND you know what? Ima sutnt hard in these fugazzi like they yeezy, you call me out and ill still say they real haters just hatin.
No but it doesn't give you no reason to cop a replica if you can't get it for retail. There really no other way to get them beside reseller unless you got extremely lucky and got them for retail.Im sure ppl could afford retail ... Resell price is a totally different story...
So all u guys sayin that if u cant afford em ....
Does that mean ure approvin resell prices??
Ohh no, you have voiced that you bought a fake pair. The world of the sneaker game is coming to an end as we know it. Glad to see someone with real priorities.I had a fake and have a real pair. I wasn't trying to pass the fake off as real. I got the fake because I'd rather put that 3k towards something I really need like a breast reduction or an electric wheelchair. I will save up in time again and try to get an authentic pair when I can, however just because I had a fake doesn't mean I disrespect the sneaker game...I just liked the design of the shoe and there's no shame in that.
As long as they don't come on NikeTalk supporting their fake shoe purchases..I agree with the sentiment that people who are sneaker enthusiasts shouldn't be voicing opinions in support of buying fake shoes..1. The shoe shouldn't cost that much. Its a shoe worn by a rapper, thats it. No matter how limited it is, it shouldn't be 2-3 grand.
2. You shouldn't want a shoe so bad that you cop a knock off. Its just a shoe, in 10-20 years nobody will care about a Kanye West sneaker.
3. Theres no use in arguing over it, because at the end of the day people buying the knockoffs will continue, and the people spending mortgage payments on sneakers will continue.
So in the end, no matter what side of the fence you stand on the subject, we all just have to deal with it.
This thread should be for knowledge and helping people spot fakes so they know the difference between a genuine AY2 and a fugazi.
This thread wasn't created for people to share their opinions on whether or not they would wear a fake and where they stand on replica sneakers.
We got other threads for that.
