“You’re not winning, you’re paying them…”. That line earns subscriptions.

Great commentary mate. I’ve gone back and forth on reps for a while and the more I watch/listen to you, the more I agree that it doesn’t really matter. I’d prefer top tier though lol. Still want them to look premium.

YT snide hits different. Glad you’re back

Sellers love Snide, they are going to step up their game more than ever.

Been watching for a long time now and I have to say the in depth vids on the rep world (factories, businesses, & how nike operates their production) is amazing to watch. I would really like to see more of Journalism Snide. Lol

So thankful for this video! I recently bought a resell pair and I was really sceptic whether it was fake or not since the price was fairly low compared to other offers. Turns out it's real and I didn't get ripped off 😅 But at the end of the day you're right, it's just mass produced shoes meant to be worn!

Man, I love how you broke this down, I just found your channel. I have a pair coming in from goat. And I just want to make sure they are legit. I appreciate the time you spent explaining to the viewers in intricate detail on how to be able to tell the real vs. the Reps. Gave me chills at the end of the video when you said you took the L. In this new gamified system you lost". Of course, in which i went scurrying to pay resell, happens to me more often than not unfortunately. "Food for thought" I subscribed instantly after that. Frfr

I'm in Vietnam now, a few sellers at the market have them but they're wrapped in plastic. Going to go back tomorrow now that I know what to look for. Thanks man, just subscribed

I'm here in California and I don't collect shoes but, I really like your videos for your honesty! Putting the pretentiousness. of most of the watch and sneaker wearing herberts on camera is pretty funny!

Great video to educate people on values, of what you can purchase. You pay for the quality you want to wear. Keep this up Snide educate the snideverse

Glad to see you pop back up! Love your content as always! And don't cut the retails up. They're too nice! Rock em and enjoy!

I struggled with the left foot vs right foot at first, but then I saw the toebox and knew immediately. I will say, GX has impressed me so far with their attention to detail and it seems like their SB4's are very close. Would love to see you do a video of one of their pairs.

First time coming across your channel, you just earned a new sub. Your presentation is authentic and unfiltered.

The GOAT is back!

I’m glad I found your channel you make a lot of sense but In my experience I’m an x heroine junkie and I used for about 15 years and it took me a long time to find a hobby that kind of gave me the same high or satisfaction cause I’ve always been into sneakers my whole life but you are totally right about us paying insane amounts of money just for the right to buy a shoe for 210$ or more we are all totally getting played and you know who wins at the end is the company’s that sell them and also let resellers use bots to win all the shoes so then we have to go out and spend hundreds or in my case even thousands on one shoe it really sucks thanks for the video

Nice video, good to see you back! Concerning the insole, I've observed most top tier have wrong insole, most of my top tier SB Dunks have a softer air unit than retails insole and the foam quality isn't the same. Do you have an explanation about this? Can the insole really be a techy thing to reproduce?

You're the GOAT 🐐 SNIDE! I've learned so much from your videos; plz keep up the good work!

got it right but at first look thought right is the retail one. The back tags length is the biggest giveaway on the replay once you know it, from that distance a very good budget version for sure

Great comeback video. Your insta updates are the first thing I go to when I wake every morning. Superb ! Those Snorlax 4's... Best shoe I've seen in a while

I'm so glad you're back. Thanks! I hope the content keeps coming.

So refreshing to hear someone speak intelligent, logical, truth about what the "sneaker game" and sneakers in general is. Thx for this vid and for spitting those facts.

Easiest way to tell retail from the others is the toe strap. The grey suede comes higher up onto the toe box and has a lower degree slant to it. At the end of the day, no one’s going to come up to you and say anything lol

My dude is talking facts ! Just shoes made in massive production

I know I’m late commenting but you are the all access 🐐 in the option B market always keeping it thorough 💯 I just grabbed a $150 pair and my QC looks amazing … I been watching since they let you in the factories keep up the solid content

Thank for the vid Snide , what did top tier cost approx?

i didnt know uncle snide is back. immediately subbed. welcome back unc!

Snide’s backkkkk!!! Let’s goooo 🙏🏽

I could tell which was budget but I thought the top tier was the real pair. Great video mate good to see you back on youtube!

Love how genuine u are man

Class mate, looking forward to seeing the updates batch. Looking dapper in that suit 😂👌🏻

Best outro ever! Love your perspective, Snide! Thank you for making this video. Keep it up!

My guy woke up and chose to speak nothing but FACTS.

Loved the video snide 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 As always NY is and will always be here supporting 💯💯 I appreciate you going into details on this one ! I needed a pair of these for my son because they match his uniform but they wanted 500$ 🤦🏾‍♂️ He’s literally in 9th grade bro😂😂😂 so I’m definitely getting a top tier but then again I’ll probably wait till you get the 3rd version

Glad I could help you brother. Can’t wait to have a sit down discussion soon

Tbh, it hasn't changed for corporate. The only thing that changed is more resellers nowadays, and they are winning.

Love it! Cut em up! Would also love to see a how to cop vid! Specifically for diff price points. To clarify, a guide that shows you how to cop and shop for budget tier, mid tier, and top tier! Keep it Snidey

The upper on the retail if you look from the side it is higher before the side cage is attached

Well done comparison man. Way to put it in perspective.

Amazing that you are Back. Best Reviews ever. All the BEST and Hope to See more soon 🎉

We back with the bangers yessir. Missed these videos.

I saw reviews of the real ones and the skate really well, I would definitely get a fake pair if the “feel” the same as the real ones, do you think they feel pretty similar in feel and material???

finally you back mate! its been long time waiting for you to make more vids, always here to support, great vids and cheers!

Welcome back, Sir!

@snide brilliant video, good to see you posting new content you KZfaq. Liked seeing you wearing the 4 SBs.

Nice review. One thing I saw that is very, very apparent is the actual side box on the original is square where reps both crap and higher tier is rounded.

Great comparison

Great Video Salute👌💯

What’s up Snide glad to see you back. 💯

welcome back man 👍

Waiting for the premiere 👏🏽👏🏽🔥

Welcome back!!!

i guessed wrong...i wasn't able to buy a pair and to be honest, don't care. not a pair worth chasing. raffles never really existed, especially not the skateshop ones. i'm with you, tired of nike's bullshit. these things are already overpriced as they are.

Oh, and, I agree with the resale market. It makes NO sense as to why these are $700 or more, but yet, the Black Cement Reimagined and Military Blue 4s are sitting near MSRP. The energy towards these shoes makes no sense. You have sneakerheads, and then, you have "sneakerheads".

Where did you end up buying the resell pair from? The resell shops in HK are hit or miss. Also dont trust buying from stockX all the way to china.

Best detailed breakdown of this shoe I've seen on youtube. Would love to see this video format more

Snidermen back lessssgoooo don't forget to smash the like button, comment and subscribe!!!!! Bang on brother!!!! Glad to see you back!!!!!!

Wow back from dead like the undertaker!! 🙏

Top tier and retail are close enough for me. Not to care cuz I'm not paying crazy high resale price

He’s back !

Yaaay. I guessed it correctly. I won’t ruin it for people catching the replay. Great video 🙌🏽

Nahh bro your wrong. Your guy people need to see. I follow you from day 1 of discovering your channel. Your advice and opinion means a lot to me I learned so much from you. Thank you 💪💪

Love the LED on the mic!!

So what's the price difference between the budget and the top tier?

Hi where can i contact the shops for good reps. Thanks upfront

You look like the Snide version of yourself 😂 looking sharp dressed man

Great content man and here’s to hoping you get back to the regular upload schedule!!! 🙏

1:41 just looking at all 3 shoes, I’m gonna assume that the far left is a replica because it’s a solid white. I also think the far right is a replica because of some stitching and the green eyelets looking a different shade as well. If the right is a replica, it’s a good looking one nonetheless

Welcome back bro

Great educational video. I knew the left was retail jus because the cage is set higher for comfort

Your so right I will hit on a raffle and I’ll be like celebrating at work and my co workers thought I was getting shoes for free and I was like no this just gives me the right to buy them for retail then I tell them how much and they look at me like I’m nuts it’s kind of funny your right there just sneakers at the end of the day and nothing special thanks again great video

welcome back

Right is fake stitching is off

I hope my favourite rep makers are paying attention to this!!!

I have these shoes but it’s 2 different manufacturer dates in each shoe, not the same dates for both, does that mean they are fake?

Im about to be doing the same type of review in a few days. they were quick with this one

Your intro made me subscribe 🤙🏽

Yes!!

The one on your left foot is retail

Where I get the high quality rep

Holy shit at like 4:19 where you said the thing about tik tok attention spans I had to stop and comment “thank you”. Cause that tik tok shit is literally giving people adhd. Thanks for the drawn out thorough content.

Where can you get the best ua’s?

Where u get the top tier from

"They're all mass produced pieces of shite" and he's back! Missed you mate!

I like this guy keeps it a buck. Nike will never stop reselling bcuz it’s free advertisement all the hysteria and buffoonery that comes with a drop is nothing more then free promotion

It's a shame you did not have the latest batch as think ot would highlight the quality of rep more 😊

Great educational vid 👏 looking forward to more

What is the name of the top tier wholesaler you went through. I didn’t get them on Nike and I need a pair

Welcome back

Very true only if I could get my hands on size 15 replica I would start wearing them screw paying 4 and 5 hundred resale for every shoe I want and that’s the cheap inex

Bought yesterday real one . Never gona walk in it . 😂

Retail or nothing!!! 🔥🔥🔥 good comparison video

Great video! Don't cut open any shoes, no need to waste your time doing that! These shoes are made to be worn and nowadays made with the same or similar material and designs!

What’s the price on the Top Tier?

Are you willing to share the seller who’s updated batch will be closer to retail?

For 150 rmb (20 ish usd) that’s good enough for me

Just ordered my pair from Poizon. Thank goodness you bought a pair and explained it

This straight heat 💯💯💯

Does the retail pair have a strong aroma of glue - I purchased from Poizon and the pair I received reeks of glue

I have a question does the retail have red Chinese letters under the sole ?? And the shoe size on it ?
