I'm in Guangzhou. I once had a pair of luxury brand shoes that broke after just a few wears. I took them to a shoe repairman, who quoted a high repair fee. When I asked why, he said it was because the shoes were a luxury brand, so the repair price would be higher. I hurried to lie, 'These are fake, not authentic.' He replied, 'Who are you trying to fool? Fake ones wouldn't break like this—only authentic ones get damaged to this extent.'😂

Rather get a replica than give 1 penny to a greedy scumbag reseller

those aren’t “fake” replicas, those are just unauthorized backdoor productions from the same exact manufacturer.

Problem is the media made us believe fakes are bad etc…. When now we will never know if fakes are made at same factory as real ones

"A little off" always translates as "I want to seem like I know what I'm doing but honestly I can't tell" ;-)

I don’t care if they’re “fake, reps” whatever, if I like them I am wearing them.

Fakes? Nah that's straight from the source, might as well be the genuine thing

You'd be surprised how many of these came from the same factory as the authentic ones. The patterns, materials and stitching are from the same factory, and then some batches are sent to a different company for a complete assembly (glueing, tagging, finishing).

If they didn't know they were fake. They wouldnt be nitpicking at them like that. Im an old sneaker head. Nike and Jordan quality is so bad today compared to even 10 years ago. Many fakes are better

There's a classic saying that's been circulating among China's sneakerhead community: "How can you tell if a pair of sneakers is real or fake? Simple—the FAKE ones are the pair that actually last longer than a year without falling apart!"

Those malls require you to bargain. Never take the shopkeepers opening price as the actual price especially as a foreigner.
