DabTime I don’t completely agree with you. People might just genuinely want to wear certain hyped shoes, like Yeezy’s, for which their retail price is less than $200 (not extremely expensive), but it’s hyped and limited and gets sold out in seconds. So, if you want one, you can either go to a reseller and buy it for 5x the retail price, or buy these “fakes”. It’s not always about wearing something “expensive” for cheaper nikeshoeshot4sale/, as like I explained they are not that expensive if you look at retail price. It’s just that companies are releasing these limited making them exclusive, and so expensive on resell. I mean, you’re right if it’s a LV or other designer brands shoe that has a retail price already at $600, and someone wants to buy it for $100. But in most cases it’s about hyped shoes, of which retail prices aren’t even that high… Dispelling false info presented in this video.
1. It is not illigle to own fake shoes, only to sell and distribute them.
2. The “legit” warehouses also employ children and do not pay them proper wages in “Most” (not all) circumstances.
3. He does this as a career to earn money not to educate people. No matter how him or resellers try to frame it, they thrive on the scarsity of those shoes and the over hyped, over priced nature of sneaker culture.
Noone should feel bad for not being a sucker and purchasing a shoes that fits the style you want at a lower more affordable price.
Please support independent artists and designers that source their shoes humanely and pay their employees a living wage. Not mega rich celebs that couldn’t give less than a whole ass shit about you. Roman DickwadZilla Doesn’t seem to hurt Nike or other companies much. And definitely beats having to pay ridiculous prices for a shoe people genuinely like the design of. If Nike really wanted to put fakes out of business they could easily up stock numbers on limited releases (Not making them GR’s but more reasonable amounts) and actually make efforts towards making a better system to dispense their releases alla Adidas. (I say this as I’ve had the opportunity to buy 4 different limited yeezy releases (Only actually bought one cause I thought about each one as I sat in queue) while not having a single Snkrs purchase as Nike’s LEO drop method seems fundamentally flawed. Also, not trying to burn or talk down to anyone — just trying to make conversation as I don’t really agree with fakes being so heavily looked down upon.
