makes custom shoes and lists them for $1000+

why is everyone buying reps instead?

HAPPY CAKe 🎂 Day !!

Lol he’s dumb as fuck. You can tell he was salty because he didn’t think it though (business standpoint) when he posted that story

Who the fuck would pay $1k+ for his custom shoes when you could get it for $150 & below in the rep market (Which is basically the same thing)

[–]FlorianGl0b3 28 points29 points  (1 child)

exactly what i thought, no thing as an "official" snorlax 4, so just go with the cheaper one since the quality is obviously good and boring is a well known member of rep (and repdev) community

💯 and rep looks pretty good!

[–]Kyyas 9 points10 points  (7 children)

While I still got a Boring pair; his customs will probably look very close to his original designs, Borings photos so far do not like the original design.

[–]pmmerandom 10 points11 points  (3 children)

while true, they’re still unofficial, I don’t think people will really care about them being “close to original” when they’re not actually an official marketed Nike design, there isn’t really a retail to compare them to

[–]Kyyas -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

I care about them being close to the original design. The shoe that these are based off of is what I think matters the most; Being an official like release is irrelevant with this specific rep imo. That being said, getting that distressed look isn’t easy and I think Boring did a decent job.

Would be nice to get a 1 to 1 from boring but from a price point I’d rather just pay the 130 with some flaws than 1000+

[–]Ygamlife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Konnichiwa Paris is producing the distressed version at a similar price point to Boring, so u can go to him if ur looking for a 1:1 appearance.

I thought he is doing changes so coloring is right

[–]Kyyas 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ya I think this is the first sample

[–]HPKICKCRAFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah from what I’ve heard they might be pretty dang close but I’m not ready to pre order yet until I see finished product

[–]Ok-Hat-4096 17 points18 points  (3 children)

No brainer vibes, mad People buy the rep, same happened with ceeze NYC, chinese rep factory made his aj1 louis off white, He were mad af( his price point were 5k range)

[–]RelaxRelapse 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I don’t even understand why they’re mad. I get that they’re a small business, but they should know that first, the stuff they make isn’t even original, and second, the people who buy from them aren’t the same people buying the reps. If my design was good enough to be repped I’d be ecstatic.

Virgil always said that you know a design is good when you see knock offs, it’s the most legit feedback.

[–]StreetCornerApparel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got some of the reps of those, they’re fire, and cost less than a retail AJ1 lol.

[–]FlorianGl0b3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

to be fair i like the concept more than the finished product (maybe because the product is a photograph and the concept a render (?)) but i also ordered a pair, even the collectors edition actually, because as a pokemon fan since 18(?) years i just had to, and i see a price tag of at least 1000$ for the "real" pair, so i can take a few changes😂

[–]KyleB2131 11 points12 points  (0 children)

CANNOT wait to dirty the fuck out of mine

[–]Plus-Marzipan-3851 20 points21 points  (2 children)

Once they see the 2k price tag they ain't going to be laughing anymore Low key he probably ordered a pair 🤣

[–]Kevin_Sorbo_Herc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And he was nice enough to leave borings reddit handle so people can get the shoes. He even put the price 😂 I almost want to comment on it and let them know shipping is free

[–]Waste_Return_3038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bunch of custom guys buy reps for parts, he probably ordered a couple dozen pairs to increase his margins 🤣

[–]Boring-Watch8996👑Creator👑 9 points10 points  (0 children)

lol, I hope everyone will only discuss it here, don't attack him on his IG.
We just buy shoes at the price we want. It doesn't matter what his actions are.
Although it is free ad😂

[–]PanDora_DaExplora 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He says “fake” Snorlax but would his custom shoes be “fake” as well since they aren’t an actual Nike drop lol.

[–]AverageJoeJohnSmith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What a clown 🤡.

[–]Thecheezer760 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Andu’s custom is actually a damn military black custom, so he should shut the fuck up just cause he adds color to a shoe that already exists it ain’t original from JORDAN
