Nike QC is terrible too
Nike shoes have variation as well!
Don’t forget those lol
The biggest issue is that the people driving the discourse generally have no idea what they’re talking about or just leaned way too far into the fact that fakes actually end up being pretty decent shoes even by Nike standards. but here we are in 2022 and folks are still buying rep Travis Scott highs and drenching them in mink oil to darken the nubuck, brushing them for hours with a suede brushing them for hours, and using salon care to bleach the soles to try get those yellow a** soles a little less yellow But they somehow come from the same factories
The hard truth for everyone is that fakes have gotten good enough that most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference on foot. They’ve functionally replaced a lot of high dollar resell shoes that folks don’t want to drop the money on. But it’s not gonna take a microscope for for someone who knows their **** about shoes to be able to tell.
