The thing you gotta get outta your head is the term flaw.. a flaw pertains to something wrong with the shoe.. These GMs are not flawed, they are made differently so these flaws you speak of are actually TELLS that the shoes are fake.. You guys need to get that THE MATERIALS are not expensive or rare.. You can go online and buy every material necessary to make an air jordan too.. What makes a legit shoe expensive is it's limited numbers, not material.. Legit or Fake they cost probably only about $12 in materials..

also what makes shoes expensive is how many hands it has to touch before it reaches the consumer. Every hand it touches is someone that needs to be paid. From the people delivering the materials to the factory to the employees at the Nike store. All of that cost is passed on.
very true.. I didn't wanna go into all of that but you are 1000% right.. there are tariffs,taxs, importing fees etc.. Most of the bootlegs get in without these fees..
These GMs cuts out many of those hands and are much cheaper to produce and why they can sell them As cheaply as they do.
+1...Ill believe it's the same material when one of these knuckleheads breaks out a spectrometer and proves it.. Also peeps don't consider material thickness etc.. A few MM is very hard to see with the naked eye but means a lot when it comes to wear and tear.. I know you have seen the GMs that crack through the creases bc the material is thinner..looks the same but it's not meant to hold up to normal wear.
Fake is trash, thats why.
You dudes are wasting your breath. 95% of NT has its mind made up that if you wear GMs, you're poor, unclassy, and not a real sneakerhead. Just do you, don't let this board dictate what you do with your life. Remember, this is the same board where dudes are smashing nothing lower than 9s and driving nothing less than BMWs
On the saving up thing, I had enough money to drop $600 on a new pair the day mine got stolen, but that's nowhere near the point. I'm not dropping $600 on some 2012 Jordans, I would rather cop Balenciagas or something worth that price quality wise. Had a guy selling them for 350 on here, and I would've copped but other stuff came up before I had the chance to purchase. Only reason why I copped the GMs are the scarcity of a deadstock pair for reasonable pricing in my size, if that lowers my credibility, so be it.
Also, I was mislead by the original thread, but I spent money on something so i'm going to wear it.
Denial isnt a river in Eqypt fellas. Your shoes are fake plain and simple. Rationalize it to yourselves as much as u want, u still are wearin fake Js. Just as bad as wearing fake jewelry.
*uninstalls Niketalk*
Its ok brotha, one day maybe youll have your money right, and youll be able to buy real Js. Sucker lol
Trash, no. They are a shoe and they do their job and protect your feet. Are they FAKE? YES. Some cubics look and shine better than my girls engagement ring, should I trade her AUTHENTIC diamond in with some minor flaws?!
analogy doesnt really work
Just saying everything that glitters isn't gold. I don't know how else to break it down for dude. This is why there's such a big market for fakes. Bout to start making "quality" J's in my basement with the "same materials" and laugh all the way to the bank like all these GM companies are doing.
