Thanks!
I did. They look dope in hand and the quality is pretty good. Also was a super easy cop, doesn't seem people are too hyped about them.
Really like the look of them, especially with part of the upper being like this weird metallic color. It's like not quite black. And the gold glittering on the bottom is a nice touch also. Shit is like a Batman shoe.
lol like $100

Not at all. Best you can do is to look in FB groups and locals and try to talk them down. Least will probably be 600$. And then you'll have to be careful with how good the fakes are getting now. People are even calling some retails fakes because that's how good they are.
Tl;dr just buy fakes man no one is going to notice unless they're blatantly bad lol

I'm in the process of ordering reps right now lol. Gonna try and get some Oxford Tans

Oxford tans are the hardest to identify. The only real tell is the Boost and that's at the freaking bottom of the shoe. Who cares. Lol. I'm going to order some soon as well.
I like the NYC 10s. I thought it was an all black shoe until I saw some videos but there's this metallic shimmer to it. Still don't need them since I got the OVOs but I might consider it if I see them for a good price.
Yeah, exactly, that shimmer is cool.
I wouldn't be surprised if you'll be able to find them for cheap for a while. One of the easiest Jordan cops I've had lately.
I also got the Paris 10's, I love em. Very unique in hand, the upper part has a scaled texture and has this weird shimmer depending on how the light hits it. Goes from purple to like a light green. The ice / purple sole is nice as well.
Might as well post this here, since you're all talking about it. I ordered a pair of Turtledove reps from David who seems to have the best reps out there right now, cost was $160 American, and they just shipped today. They sent me these pictures off them to green light before they shipped them out to me

Look pretty damn good to me, and I know I won't be able to get a pair of retails anytime soon. I can let you guys know how they feel once they come in.

excuse me sir how can you live with yourself knowing the grey pattern on the left sneaker is exactly three millimeters off from the authentic sneakers
seriously they look great. considering buying a pair of reps at this point too, fuck these outrageous prices, the reps look god damn identical to the "real" thing.
Who is David? Do they sell any other shoes? I'm not really a Yeezy fan, but I'd like to see what else they offer.
Honestly, unless you're an expert and stop to stare at them, no one can tell the difference. I've tried getting up early for legit online sales it's been one of the most frustrating things in my life. Easy process, and these are legit as they come.
He's one of a few well known replica shoe sellers, has all kinds of shoes, but he's known for producing the most well made Yeezy replicas in particular.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post his site or not?
Wow. No chance I'd be able to spot those as fake.

Just go to r/repsneakers. Lots of info on there and what not.
Also, just know the difference between what are reps and "unauthorized authentic" shoes. UAs are basically what you see when people get early releases of shoes. Shoes with flaws if you will. There's a lot of people that are #teamearly that don't even realize that they're wearing "fake" shoes.

Get some ultra boosts and call it a day, son

Haha good luck finding color ways you like. They're pretty sold out online. Best to try locally. Adidas has some. Footlocker and similar sites. End.

Just keep an eye on this twitter account.

The white ones have been restocked a few times. I am waiting for the creams.

Isn't there somewhere to create a virtual CC? I don't recall the name tho. That's a possible route.
Edit: just googled it. Your bank may offer the service. I know Bank of America has ShopSafe.

Yea it's https://privacy.com/
My bank is garbage so it doesn't offer the virtual CC option or work with privacy.com. Maybe it's time to switch banks lol

Ffffff don't need them. Need money for trip. Don't. Buy.
Typically UBs have a warning saying that you can't use any coupons on them. I don't see that here.
You can potentially get another 15% off with the newsletter coupon.
EDIT: Yep. Users on Twitter were able to use 20% and 30% coupons they had. Adidas finally took off the coupon restriction.

anyone have an extra discount code?
Just sign up for the newsletter with a secondary email address. The codes aren't tied to an account so you can then use that code they send on your normal Adidas account.

mb, I have the 15%, was just wondering if anyone had anything better.
In any case, I impulse purchased these but I think I will try to cancel them. I don't want them that bad.

I just used my normal CC, he's pretty reputable and people having been buying from him for a long time now. Worst case scenario is you don't get what you want and you just call your bank and do a chargeback

Tried to buy some reps off someone on Reddit but they stopped responding. I hate it when people do that, at least let me know you sold them or whatever.
He was overcharging anyway but I was willing. Guess I'll have to get them from overseas lmao.
Edit: he stopped after I asked why he didn't want them and pics. I'm not the pickiest person so if it were really small flaws, I prob would've talked the price down instead of flat out buying. I guess he's afraid of showing them.

I'm thinking of picking up the white UBs replicas for the summer. I'm not crazy about them like everyone else, but I figure an all white shoe would be nice.
The reps are pretty hard to spot the difference anyways and they're $50.

Crazy to think that the resell game has us considering reps. Me 10 years ago would've made fun of present me lol

The only replicas people should be buying are those old Rick Owens joints.

Just tried to order Oxford Tans from David. Tried to use MoneyGram but the transaction was denied? I had to call and explain why I was sending money to China lol. They denied the transaction. Probably gonna look into some other methods tomorrow, why can't there be a proxy on eBay ;~;
You don't want to use a credit card?

I just don't feel comfortable with it especially after all the drama at /r/sneakers. Plus I only have discover atm
I paid using my standard credit card, and just received a tracking number for my order, should be here by next week. I don't think it's really that big of a risk, like a lot of people on /r/repsneakers say, if they don't send you the shoes you can just do a charge back through your bank

I think they only accept Visa or MasterCard. He has Discover.
Ah, I'm in Canada, we don't have Discover here.
how much cad did it come too my man?
With shipping I think $250 Canadian so around $185 American. Just got my tracking number today, should have them by next week
Definitely expensive, but thats the cost of legit replicas, and I know the retails aren't going to me made available widespread anytime soon.
