What's the difference you say? The retail one leaves a nice big dent in your wallet and the fake ones allow you to eat 😂

For everyone: If you pair has a chinese mark - it does not immediately mean that they are fake - the protection pack sat on the shelf in china at offical new balance stores (yeah chinese also wear originals - dont be racist) - also the insole hole check is not accurate because it depends on the size of the shoe where the holes on the insole end up - so you need a second pair of the same size to check that - also the shoe tree papers can be different - i recieved two different shoe pairs with two different shoe tree papers inside - both are legit I would say the best spots to check it are the overall colour, the suede material and the seams that are difficult to see, and the heel part especially the holes on the back part (in the video you can see how unclean they are and on the original pair, they run in a sharp curve)

You can’t tell from box color. For some reason NB grey boxes come in different shades

I prefer NB for their comfort and durability. Are the fakes noticeable interior?

I have a weird R8 on my box when shining blue light, and then on the back of the shoe there’s invisible ink/stitching marks at the exact half way, normal or fugaze?

Watching you from the beginning of your Channel. I believe one day your channel will get recognized by true Sneaker Lovers. Keep going Buddy 😇👍🏻

My box looks just like the Chinese label. Suede is very thin and I had to brush the suede for hours…to make it look close to real. Date on shoe saids 9/22 so not sure if that’s right. Oh yea box had a stamp on it. Found it near the goat barcode sticker on the outside. Looks like someone tried to take it off but the stamp is still visible. Get a black light flashlight to check everything! Especially with that box

The fake is spot on but not over the original price tho, 50 bucks standard flee market price will be cool

So mine checked out on everything you said except mine came from goat out in china tho an it does have the yellow circle sticker but everything else fall in place with what u have so mine must of been a china release ??

Where did you buy the reps from?

Where and when did you buy these when u bought them? Just for some clarification so I can check my pair against yours.

jus got fake ones off goat😭

Could have just said the mesh on the toe box is darker on the fake. These actually fit chunkier

Do a Syracuse comparison!!!

I had no idea people were cloning these

Would the lack of white dusting on the green part of the heel considered to be fake?

That's crazy, almost pretty same shoes

Well done. Consider doing some "on feet" and comfort after 30days of wear comparisons.

Just got my pair from stockx, seems chuncky and the back triangle panel looks like the fake pair you showed in this video, but everything else looks legit, thoughts?

The best way to decide the shoes are fake or not is to wear it and walk

Does the fake have the same comfort as the retail one?

Some new balance are manufactured in different countries don’t mean they’re fake smh

My box has Chinese label but the colours are right even on the web part on the underneath also the swede is rugged and resembles new ones

where can i buy them

Hey bro, good review abour 2002 rain cloud. Did you see the prices in Stockx is going down? It’s because New Balance China been restocked this cw imo. They call “Refined Future” the Protection Pack collection and there are some differences between them. The main difference is the “first” Protection Pack was made in Vietnam meanwhile “Refined Future” are made in China. Suede is not that good as it was and quality decreased. How about make a review comparing both (supposedly) legit pairs?

Goats been doing a lot of fakes lately. A lot of sending one real shoe and one fake. Most likely so the person could sell two pairs. They are probably only checking the first shoe out of the box. Even though they are supposed to check both sneakers.

The difference is one is over £200 and the other is £50...... Good content though, helping the replica factories improve there products.

Thanks! Looks like GOAT didn’t screw me over lol

N logo is much bigger on the fake pair too

I got a fake 1

If it from china it alway fake or not? Or they have real made in china too

I got a pair from goat and I’m kinda iffy, under black light on one shoe the stitching glows and my pair is from China with a mfg date of 092022.

From what website did you get the reps pair?

Where did you buy the fake shoes please ?

Mine seem to be real from goat but they said made in china on the inner tongue? And one of the N logos has a tiny black mark on it haha just my luck always

Wait so my 43 dollar pair is literally 1:1

no difference when you are in a nightclub or walking down a busy street... nobody would know..

Is it just me or does the fake one look better?

forsale? open price real new balance mr

They looks similar. I would have fake pair

Chinese label doesnt necessarily mean fake

Mine is i bit chunky, but the rest of the shoe is authentic… I am so confused if they are real or fake

Merci tu m’as permit de bien m’assurer que ma paire était vraie personnellement je l’ai commandée sur stockx et elle correspond en tout point as une vraie je pense que tout les sites se valent en terme d’authentification donc autant prendre le moins cher et bien revérifier chez sois qu’on as bien une vraie paire merci pour ta vidéo 😊

FlightClub sent me fake ones bruh

For a Friend where can you buy the fakes?

Just got a pair from GOAT - the production date is 01/2023 and made in china. The rest all checks out but the production date has thrown me off. Has anyone else had the same or later production date?

Fun fact.. The matter is not about fake or real but whos wearing the shoes.. 😂😂😂

Its not a fake

Fake or real omg is the same

I have a pair of legit and a pair of fakes and ill be dead honest, the fakes are nicer and more comfortable 🤷 i said what i said and orderdd another fake pair

mine are fake as fuck then😭😭

Stockx send me the box of right

Fake looks better

plus u bought bad fakes

If you have to sit down and intensely examine to tell the difference - then there is no noticeable difference. Haha. Except the cost. I hate these bias reviews. Dude is trying to put every difference in negative light. I love how when he gets to the back strap of suede - and says - this is opposite of the other suede - the fake is more furry which hides the perforated holes more. But now this is not good haha

the fake pair you have is dhgate quality level. Get a good fake.
