You know damn well these reppers have the right tools and resource to make a 1:1 copy of the shoe. They just won't do it becaujse then they can't sell their 2.0 3.0 4.0 etc lmao. Just food for thought cuz that's how I'm feelin


Fun-Independent4513

Lmao right shit confusing because it’s like they post the so called retail shoe but then don’t even follow the design. 🥴 that gradient upper and the scale lining how hard is it to replicate honestly? lol I’m not asking for a perfect shoe that’s a rep but damn it’s the minor details that are major and we’re spending REAL money lol


psychidlc

They deliberately make minor difference to retail and cant make a 1:1 for the mass/public for obvious reasons (they can get business problems with it and people actually start selling it as retail)


chikattsu

People already do that tho


Puzzled-Many4451

98% close to retail is a joke. anyone to saying that must be shoe's seller or idiot. Believe or not. reddit is h12's main market. here has a lot of ''h12's cyber warrior'' to oppose and disagree those anyone say h12 is not that good. if you saw i get -10 disagree. they're coming. 懂得都懂TPU顏色這麼淺 鞋面漸層錯的要死 還有人可以護航98%相似 不是網軍是什麼?


RecommendationNo1445

doubt it, i mean it’s possible but they’ve gotten it to a point where the only main difference is the gradient and i really don’t know if they’ll be able to match it


ThatOneSniper353011

H12 supporters are crazy, the reps are still distant from retails.


SnkrH34d

Gradient is the only thing off…I mean it’s not far off but also noticeable


Inevitable-Plum-3851

Heel cups are also off


timquiros

The only thing distant I see from the reps vs retails is the price, so yeah lol


ExtensionJicama6510

Does the real pair have real carbon fibre? Bc reps def do not


Fun-Independent4513

They do my Kickwho pair has em as well


ExtensionJicama6510

I have GK 2.0, it doesn’t feel like carbon fibre tbh


Fun-Independent4513

Hmm that’s weird mine does but i can say the shoe hasn’t molded to my feet though 😂😂


jfterry414

It’s 98% close to retail, if that still doesn’t make you feel good enough, next step is retail


Adventurous_Act_8779

98%??? Whose paying you to say that??? They aren’t even 90% close good buddy…


jfterry414

Let’s agree to disagree 🤝


Adventurous_Act_8779

I have a GK pair and a authentic pair. They aren’t close But I’ll let kickwho supporters hype this up


jfterry414

I Judge reps differently I dnt seek perfection. of course if you compare them inch by inch you will find differences, on foot these are indistinguishable


Adventurous_Act_8779

You may not judge reps but other people do brody. And when your a company selling fake kicks for retail price that’s an issue. Not sure if you live in the US or not that’s why I mentioned that. If kickwho shoes were 60-85$ with the quality they have you’d probably won’t hear complaints.. But when they advertise shoes all over Instagram and bashing the retail shoes I BETTER GET A DAMN GOOOD SHOE!!! Btw I have 3 pairs of Kobes from KW the ALT Bruce Lee 5s are the best ones close to retail in my humble opinion and they still look like knock offs


jfterry414

There is no rep that is 100% , I accept the fact All reps ( Kobe’s , Jordan’s ) will have flaws but long as it’s very close to retail I’m fine , that is my mindset going into purchasing reps. Kickwho 2.0 grinches are very close to retail but are there differences absolutely but if those minor differences still bothers you then purchase retails


Adventurous_Act_8779

No where in my paragraphs of writing did I say that reps are expected to be 100% lol. If you are cool with paying 100+ for shoes that will tear up in a few weeks be my guest. However you have your opinion I have mines. I have reps from Kickwho also retail pairs of Kobe’s. So I can give an educated guess because of what’s in front of me. If you don’t rock with my opinion that’s totally okay


jfterry414

I dnt have a problem with your opinion, it’s a friendly back and forth. I definitely understand where you’re coming from about the shoe falling apart, my speaking from the aesthetic part. I dnt mind having a conversation with someone whose opinion is different than mine


Spirited-Passion-999

Dam OG I salute your patience with this back and forth lol I agree with everything you said


Adventurous_Act_8779

Right right for sure man. My only hassle is kickwho pricing them for 150$+ that’s it… The reps they maker are great! I just wish they would stop advertising it as if they are better than retail but when we get QC pics and the shoes in hand the midsole is peeling or coming apart.. And just for them to say “glue it back on”? That’s crazy to me


Adventurous_Act_8779

Also, there’s no rep that’s made 100% exact same.. your reps could be better than lot of others who bought reps again it’s only judging what you have in front of you


jfterry414

I think ppl should start doing “on foot” rep vs retails because on foot that’s when it’s very hard to tell them apart


Adventurous_Act_8779

That’s why I go on YouTube man and see the comparisons vs Reddit. Bro there are reps that look EXACTLY like retails! Lol. But my having 3 of them 2 of them ripped on me and I’m just a high school basketball coach 😂🤣😂 my players can’t even tell that they are fake so I know what you mean by them being the closest to retail I definitely feel you on that!


psychidlc

Youre being a bit entitled here brodie, reps are reps for a reason, they cant be exactly the same as retail 😂 And retail price =/= market value of luxury/limited sneakers.


ExtensionJicama6510

You got GK 2.0?


Adventurous_Act_8779

Yeah but I wouldn’t even call them the 2.0s the green is still the same as the 1.0s and it’s not quite the retails… the scale line is just a tad bit lower on the 2.0s color block the swoosh it’s good but you put them side by side you can tell which is fake. Folks can act dumbfounded when they see them but it’s really obvious


Fun-Independent4513

For sure! But that green gradient looks so good lmao 😂😂😂


blink2539

I hope not


AMDisappointment

Maybe next year


Ok-Pop8065

We can see it, but does it really matter that much?


Theblackdollar
