yeah the 12s are so clean. The black 10s have dropped in resell but the white 10s are still up there in the 500s. I probably should've traded while value was high but I still wear them so whatever.

Anybody here get a pair of Flyknit Prestos? Can't decide on them.
12 or i guess 11.5 on adidas size
Yep. Thinking of biting the bullet and paying resellers price
Reseller price is even more ludicrous in canada

Yup. I was thinking they're ok too but I want opinions from the nit picky people on the Reddit sub lol

Nit picky is putting it lightly lol
sooooooooooo anyone know where I can cop some lance mountain 1 reps?
panthapanda
Member
They don't exist yet XD. Might be possible now since they have reps of the Wing 12s I think.
Went ahead and approved the TDs. Now I gotta wait out these 14 days or so.

hey brehs, here's my review for the REPLICA yeezy oxford tans i just got. I'm new to this whole thing, and still pretty shit at telling the differences between good reps and legit pairs...but here goes nothing. Pics will be at the bottom, but here's the full album.
The Seller:
I ended up going with someone named Lin on TaoBao. He had a batch of zzTop's Yeezys and was a little cheaper so I decided, why not. Dude is awesome. I had talked to other sellers like David, Eva, zzTop, and Jessie, but Lin was super fast with communication. When I sent him a chat request on wechat it took about 12 hours for a response, but after that at most I waited like 4 hours for response, sometimes less that a half an hour. He sent QC pics the same day I ordered and shipped super fast. Sometimes I needed help with translations and other info from DotDotBuy (agent I used). He's awesome.
The Agent:
So I was paranoid about putting my credit card info on an unsecured sites. Most sellers won't take paypal so I was trying to find a way to get around that. I had learned about websites that have agents who take paypal and will essentially buy you the item and send it to you. This is what I did. I chose dotdotbuy and they were great. They sent me more QC pics and even told me the wrong size was sent (I requested Lin send me a different size then what I ordered). Translations from Google chrome were super spotty, but overall a good experience with them.
Packaging + Shipping:
I had no idea what to expect with this. I'd see some sellers ship with NO box and just put shoes in a bag. I was super happy to see the shoes double boxed with a ton of bubble wrap for protection. You can see pics of packaging below. Shipping took a total of 6 days (10 days including weekends) which was painful because I'm so used to my amazon shipping.
Stained Shoes?
So dotdotbuy had told me the soles of the shoes were stained. They sent me a picture (I don't have it) and it made me pretty nervous. I didn't know if the translation actually just meant dirty..but they are stained:
I tried to use jason markk's cleaner, but no luck. NBD though since it's the bottom of the shoe and it's gonna get dirty anyways. Lin told me he'll take 10 bucks off the next order because of this.
THE SHOES!
Man these are nice. I've never seen Yeezy's IRL, but these seem really nice. Quality seems good, they are nice and comfortable and look awesome. It took me a while to finally order these because I was nervous ordering replica's but I don't regret it at all. I'm never going to spend almost a grand on sneakers, so this is a nice alternative. I'm probably gonna buy another pair lol. Really the only thing that's a little annoying is the ridges are a little low, but it's not a big deal (to me)

I ordered on Friday I think. Got mine this morning. QC pic, 2-3 business days friend lol.
Those OTs look great. I really want a pair, I might go with the 75$ batches for those since OTs are so hard to see anyway. Ali Express is safer too lol
Did you specifically ask for them when you ordered them? Might not send them if you didn't, you can just email Rebecca and she'll send you some before they ship.

Man I just noticed that my reps have a bajillion dots on the back pull tab lmao. Oh well too late not since I approved them. Honestly, I think I can probably go through with a seam ripper and restitch them. It's not that big of a deal.
A plan on doing a bit of touch ups on the shoe anyway. Going to try to implement "eyes" on the pattern and fill it in more since a Reddit user said that was noticeable to them. Should be fun.

Looks good to me. I've been staring at patterns for so long, I can basically tell a pair of David's instantly.
Heard they feel somewhat like boost but it doenst have the 'bounce' to it

All white Yeezys rumored to release August 15. Y'all ready to take another L?
thanks to rep makers, there are no more Ls.

I actually like the shoe. Will definitely try to get for retail if I can and keep them unless there's a trade that I just can't pass up. Like Fragments or something.

These are dope. I'm gaining an affinity for sand/off white/sail/cream colored sneakers.

I've been wanting a sand/cream version of the Hurache NM for ages now. So much so that I've actually considered doing a dye or paint job on my triple whites.

Yo so Helen is real lol. That's interesting. Her TDs look like they line up in the back tho so idk about that but the pattern looks good.
