Reddit is where most of the LEGIT UA shoe activity goes on. You don’t actually buy them on there, that’s just where all the links to the legit/non-scan stuff and the discussion about them goes on. Theres plenty of Chinese fake sneakers floating around claiming to be UA’s, so you gotta be really careful. The difference between a UA and a fake is the UA’s are made with the exact same materials, cuts, and molds and are 99% the same as the retail shoes, whereas fakes are obviously fakes (cheapy materials, “Nimke Air Lordan”, etc.). The exactness of the UA’s makes some speculate that they are made by Nike or at least Nike employees as a side hustle, either by just the workers making a quick buck or by Nike trying to capture both markets. The production of UA’s is pretty under wrap, but they’re better than feeding the 15 year old nerds who’ve been scalping the retail pairs. Funny thing is one of the major scalpers was found to be the son of a Nike VP, he was caught after using his mom’s credit card to buy $150k worth of one single shoe using bots to buy them.
The UAs look, feel, and even smell exactly like the retail pairs, and people have even caught folks selling UA’s on eBay and other marketplaces for the same inflated resale prices of the retail shoes. Even StockX has been fooled by UAs so pretty much if you didn’t get the shoe at footlocker or from Nike.com, your best bet is a UA
Ah, ok. So like Tunghori?
