No where near its value. If you actually like the shoe (this goes to others too), I would look at some designer shoes. There others that are on the lines of these with top materials. Not yeezys but you get a top quality product

No doubt
Well, good luck to your buddy. Tell them at least there is one less person looking, meaning me!
NO WHERE close to its value. Too many shoes are overpriced at retail, these are no different to me. Just something to accept or move on :\
Done with Qasa's until winter line hits, but those big gold chain Versace sneeks have been calling me name.
Gonna chill though

That maybe, just maybe we are looking at this all wrong. We like the style of the shoe no? Who cares whom gets paid for it, or who's name is attached to it. If you do..... then it could be argued that YOU are the one that has fallen victim to hype. When you pick up your prescription do you give a damn if it's name brand or generic? Or do you care more about fulfilling your need? Replicas have been given a bad connotation and I find that it has conveniently worked against the very people it should help. Perhaps it is time to reconsider our position on this topic., or continue to be taken advantage of. Just food for thought; for those intelligent enough to think. But by all means; feel free to continue to walk around with blinders on. I'm sure there were some cavemen back in the day that weren't on board with the concept of fire.

I know what point you're trying to make, but this is different. Replicas are different than off-brand. At least generic brands have the legal rights to operate, and generally speaking the appearance of said generic-brand doesn't matter (i.e. drugs, cereal, etc.) Apparel is different. All clothing has is the design, the aesthetic. If someone comes in and conveniently steals your design and then start selling it cheaper to undercut your sales, they're harming you. Replicas are adverse to the brand they imitate. Where as a generic-brand serves to offer competition, a replica factory serves to steal from the company, as well as steal its consumers. How can a brand compete with another "brand" that has all its same designs for a cheaper price? I can't say I haven't been tempted to buy replica items before, but at the end of the day purchasing a replica product only serves to destroy the brand you wish to represent.

As visually alike the counterfeit may come, you will always be able to tell the difference in quality of the materials of each shoe.

I see them both. "...size 6 a real one of a kind collectors piece..." This is bs. Before I came here I thought no one gave a crap about small sizes. Guess I'm not getting a pair.Yup. Could be the same pair. I didnt even bother with the ad when i saw the price, but I'll check to see if its a repost. ...if you havent already found it.

Damn I would be nervous as hell opening that box! Still salty I ignored my phone notification when the RO's dropped. My boy called me a few minutes later after he copped a pair. I got to hold them and while they're nice, they weren't my thing. These boosts though...
Btw, looks like the boost tech is directly below the insole. Not familiar with boost tech so I have no idea if this is the typical setup but thought I'd share.
And no they're not for sale so please don't PM me.

The white laces are so much better than the ones they come prelaced with.

Welp there is only one way to get these shoes at retail IMO. So I bought a 6 and 8 at a less inflated price then what I've seen on eBay and will sell the 8 at current value on eBay to pay for the 6. Now I'm going to be a douche bag reseller.

Dude, you don't even know. What made that day even more nerve wracking was that prior to receiving the package, I had a deal in place with this local kid to buy them. (No, I'm not a scum reseller, I just preferred 4k to a pair of overly hyped red shoes that were horribly manufactured, but that's besides that point.) The only caveat with his deal was that he wanted to watch me open the package from Nike so that he could be sure they were legit. No big deal. So I'm literally on my way out the house heading to work when the UPS truck pulls up. Guy brings me the package half opened and I'm bugging out and dying to make sure my shoes are inside BUT I PROMISED THE KID I'D WAIT TILL WE MET UP TO OPEN THEM. Needless to say I got jack**** done at work that day just worrying and wondering. Like literally having the box right next to my desk all day. The kid ended up getting flakey later that night and I couldn't take it anymore, so I called the deal off and opened the package to find my RO's safe and sound.
The 750 Boosts look great man! Congrats. Definitely more my style than RO's. That is the normal adidas boost set up. Some shoes like the DRose 5 came with thinner insoles, the pure boost have no insoles. The only thing with these is that the boost is encapsulated in the midsole. I've read that boost works best when it's exposed (like the runners) so it can expand. That's why pure boosts and the runners are so damn comfy. I'm sure these are mad comfortable, but I just know we're not getting the full boost effect when it's encapsulated like that. Either way, sick pick up. I'm hoping to cop a pair this weekend or in the future, but I'm ordering my consolation prize tonight regardless.

this is different than most situations tho where counterfeits serve to provide a lookalike item for a much cheaper price
these counterfeits are being made/sought after specifically to help fulfill demand
not exactly apples to apples

If all you kats suddenly reppin fakes feel this way, why not just buy all your kicks on the alternate market? Is your closet filled with off brand kicks or is it only ok when you can't get the real version of a shoe due to limited availability? I don't personally care what kats rock as long as it makes you happy, but don't try to sell it as doing it to get back at Nike, Adidas, etc. when it has nothing to do with any of that...
