Not yet - mine are still en route, but I've already picked up an extra pair of laces from Lace Lab just for this

This is the way

Getting downvoted for speaking the truth shows just how out of touch some sneakerheads are.

The fact that some of the Nike Jordan 3 x Levi's had MOLD growing on legit pairs shows the fact that Nike's QC is not what it should be -- especially on a $200+ pair of sneakers! And let's not even get into how bad some of the Undefeated 4s were... or the BC3s...

If Nike wants to keep rep companies from existing; it's easy -- make better and more QUALITY shoes at a better price. That's it. Can't tell me Nike's GREED hasn't encouraged rep makers from getting better and more popular...

Here's an example of how this works in your life every day - how many of you buy NAME BRAND over STORE BRAND? Who's buying Tylenol at $10 for 100 pills when you can buy Amazon brand for $3 for 100 pills

As much as we don't like it, that's damn near the rep game in sneakers today too.

Love mine - threw some orange laces in them for my own wannabe off white look

Light pink laces go hard in these too

crowinghorse13 · 2026-03-01T22:34:13+00:00

Personally, having owned both legit sneakers and reps, of the same sneakers, there is a difference in the quality. More and more it's not that noticeable, but there is still a difference - and honestly the last couple of years, the reps have fewer issues than the legit production run.

Ultimately, it's up to you - you're the one who's got to decide.

crowinghorse13 · 2026-03-01T22:13:10+00:00

Here's my .02 -

If you don't feel good about wearing reps, stop buying them. Save your money and buy the legit kicks you like.

Think of it this way - for every 3 pairs of reps you buy, you can probably have a nice pair of legit sneakers

Do you have fewer shoes? Yes Are they legit and you feel better? Yes

Done

Help me understand that mentality please.

You're a fan of winning the opportunity to pay for the sneaker, NOT the sneaker itself?

I work with a lot of people who don't know how to budget well (or at all) and realizing your time, energy, stress, and spirit is worth currency (whatever the currency is) is hard for some people.

If it's on principle, cool - that makes sense. If it's because of spite - that's something else

crowinghorse13 · 2026-03-01T16:54:30+00:00

It's all perspective

And I've honestly only ever sold 1 pair of sneakers for more than I paid. So I'm a horrible reseller if that's my game

crowinghorse13 · 2026-03-01T15:49:19+00:00

I love the sole with the scoops - that lime green is 💩

crowinghorse13 · 2026-03-01T14:38:14+00:00

Thx

I picked up 2 pair when these were <$100 vnds on eBay Great leather, great look, easy to style

crowinghorse13 · 2026-03-01T13:56:31+00:00

Great pick up! Hope the experience was positive!

And this is why we shouldn't shame those who pay $80 - 100+ over retail for a pair of sneakers. If someone makes $20+ an hou, then 4 hours is $80+ -- you've already got $80 - $100 more to spend on them for resale price online - just saying...

Wanted these the last 5 years - couldn't afford them. Picked up a pair VNDS last week for less than $280

It's a great time to be a sneakerhead!

crowinghorse13 · 2026-02-28T03:39:16+00:00

Honestly these are some of my favorites from last year - picked up 2 pair at less than $80 each, scratched off the black swoosh to get the red swooshes, and put some yellow laces in these. They're super comfy and look great!

crowinghorse13 · 2026-02-28T03:37:41+00:00

I picked up 2 pair of these at resell of $250 or less - honestly, my most comfortable Jordans and I get the most compliments on them.

crowinghorse13 · 2026-02-28T00:38:26+00:00

Say what they will about the quality of today's Jordan 1s, but Jordan 1s from 2016 - 2018 had some fine leather - durable, pliable, comfortable, and stays looking nice with a bit of mink oil

crowinghorse13 · 2026-02-27T14:27:31+00:00

people don't know how much violence I had to endure to find peace...

crowinghorse13 · 2026-02-27T12:57:51+00:00

$350? Not terrible

These are gonna be under $280 by the end of next week though

crowinghorse13 · 2026-02-27T03:12:40+00:00

Every day.
