That one cool intro bro. I hit on shock drop and I was just a little disappointed on the leather quality at first but somehow the leather is becoming more plush feeling. Like always very informative and on point when it comes to these fakes floating around, it seems they're getting better and better and time goes by. Thanks for the vid. bro. and stay safe, take care.😎

Thanks, RZ! CongratuLAtions on your Shock Drop W! Nothing better than securing a popuLAr release a few weeks early. I wasn't expecting anything spectacuLAr with the leather quality, but it's not too bad. I do pLAn to get a lot of wear out of them, so hopefully the leather will show some character. Always appreciate the feedback, bro! Be safe out there 👊🏽😎

I just got a pair from GOAT, got two different production dates on the inside tags that was the first red flag and then there suede on both pairs is different one is super buttery and the other one seems to be more flat, the Nike air logo on the bottom outsole is also super off compared to my other 4s. Pretty sure I got some fakes, I’m requesting a return hopefully I get a real pair next time /:

Thanks for this video RETROspectiveDAVE. I got a pair from StockX. Label says factory SZ and in the box it came with a YBM green sticker, the smell of glue is terrible. No size stickers in the insole but quality and colors and box info vs. shoel label looks legit. One thing another fake vs. real said was that under blacklight the stitching on the front toe box should not glow, but mine does. Also the blue midsole above the air bubble is smooth, one video said this should have brush strokes visible. What do you think??

@retrospectivedave9018 Ай бұрын

My pleasure! Unfortunately, I don't have any knowledge of an SZ pair for this shoe. I know there was an SZ pair for the Reimagined 4, but I'm not sure about the Military Blues. I just uploaded an updated video addressing the YCM sticker, and I've come to the conclusion that there shouldn't be one. The stitching on the front of my pairs do not glow under bLAck light. As for the paint on the mid sole, my pairs have visible brush strokes. If you're unsatisfied with the pair you got from StockX, try contacting them to see if you're able to return your pair and exchange it for a better pair.

@vincestenning7711 Ай бұрын

I got mine from goat, also SZ region glue smell was so strong, had the stickers the lot. Looked really legit stitching on point although no size stamp under insole, and green sticker, my toe stitching on the toe lit up under black light one of the reasons i returned them fortunately i had a friend who won from SNKRS, his toe box looked slightly darker and the fibres on the toe box looked longer (had more texture) also the blue on the outsole underneath the texture and grain seemed more prominent. If they were reps they were bang on but I didn’t wanna pay that price for copies so sent them back. Hoping the next pair are from different region. Nike need to get a grasp on this really.

Yes, that's correct. The 3 letter code is what I'm referring to. It's possible the stickers were removed or never there to begin with. As for the dates, it's becoming less common for both shoes to have different dates, but that doesn't mean that it won't happen.

I got one pair from Nike SNKRS and it didn't have a Green YDM sticker in box. It says LN4 on size tag. I also got one pair from Stockx that came from Netherlands. This pair had a Green YDM sticker in box. The leather was a tiny bit different than SNKRS pair (small pebbling on leather and SNKRS pair leather was smooth). Also, there was a rectangular sticker on insole as well as size sticker on Stockx pair. Also, the cut on the mudguard on Stockx pair was a bit thinner than cut of grey mudguard on SNKRS pair. Also, the size Tag says SZ on Stockx pair. The weight on both shoes is the exact same and insoles are the same, too. I'm thinking the Stockx pair is the European release and SNKRS is the US release. -Mark S.
