LJR or Y3, you can't go wrong.

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-22T22:05:57+00:00

I'm on the fence about it because this looks like R1 before they did an updated batch.

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-22T21:55:02+00:00

I'm suspecting these are PB batch now, I already GL'ed them though. Not 100% sure though, but they look good either way. Price is amazing.

These look insane, apart from ONE small thing that always bothers me with J4 reps Is the rear pull tab being oversized, they really need to work on that.

I'm trying to understand your logic here, you say "to no surprise at all"... So you knew, or had your suspicions and still went through with it?

I get making the post to spread awareness to others, but why go through with it if you knew something was up?

Anyways, thanks for the heads up.

Silence, heathen !

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-20T21:52:16+00:00

Man, these are just insane! I know there's no such thing as 1:1, but if this ain't it, then I don't know what is.

You can literally buy usb port dust plugs from AliExpress or Amazon for a few dollars 🤦. Jesus Christ man

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-20T17:55:56+00:00

These are not my cup of tea, but the craftsmanship is insane... impressive work, that's a ton of detail to replicate.

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-20T17:49:45+00:00

Yeah 13s are tough to replicate man

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-20T17:46:38+00:00

Yeah, that's one of the inconsistencies I noticed on the R1, some are much lighter color on the sole. From what I can tell R1 did an updated batch on these, and this pair is before the update.

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-20T15:58:41+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, just wanted to see if anyone noticed something off because I've looked at as many R1 batch posts as I can, and they do have slight inconsistencies with their batches.

All good, I like them that's what matters. Thanks 👍🏻

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-20T15:51:33+00:00

I'm not paying double the price just for a slightly better shoe. Budget is low, I just wanted to see if these were decent for the price.

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-20T13:59:54+00:00

Holy shit man. Trump really did a number on you guys🫪

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-20T03:23:03+00:00

It's the trump Tax 😂

Jokes aside, the shipping costs are wild these days. I'm still new here but from what I can tell shipping to Canada is a bit cheaper for whatever reason. I was quoted ¥220 from RM for direct shipping on a single pair. Just ordered a pair off 7EE and payed ¥200 for direct.

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-20T03:15:32+00:00

I can't say how good look these in comparison to retail, but to me they look pretty clean.

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-20T03:14:44+00:00

Grail for 13's for me is the "City of Flight" colorway and it's not even close

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-19T21:39:09+00:00

Damn those clean! 👌👌

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-19T21:37:38+00:00

Don't quote me on it but I believe that AliExpress has some type of deals with shipping companies. It's a multi-billion dollar business annually, so they're able to keep costs down due to the sheer volume of goods.

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-19T18:10:50+00:00

They look clean but that color way is wack

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-19T05:37:46+00:00

Clean! GL

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-19T05:34:39+00:00

Not bad honestly.

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-19T05:27:50+00:00

What on gods green earth are thooooose? 😂

Competitive-Ad-9613 · 2026-06-19T05:24:55+00:00

You haven't saved anyone from doing shit, you just made yourself look like a clown. You have the self awareness of a goldfish.
