 Is that new shoes right there? Real or fake right here with the blue shoes, the patent letters? He said it. We are here at SneakerCon right now and I've seen a couple of people walking around with some fakes. Let's go see if we can find some more. So my question is, are custom sneakers considered to be fakes? Because you customized a real shoe but you like did different things to it. So is it a fake now? Or is it a custom? Is it in its own category? Are custom fakes considered to be fakes? Or are they just customs? I'm interested to ask some people as well throughout the day. See a lot of people rocking some classics out here. We got some fours, some 11s, some different stuff right there. I got some Air Force ones. Everybody's looking to be checking out as legit so far but you never know. They could slide in front of you at any moment. Somebody might even think the shoes on my feet are fake. Good thing they're not. Ooh, off-whites. Chicago's. Let's check them out. Those are legit. Let's ask the guy if people ask him if his shoes are fake or not. Should we ask him? Let's ask him. Excuse me, sir. So. Oh, these days in the house. People, I see you got some off-white ones on. Yes, sir. They look like they check out as legit. Yes, sir. Do people ask you if those are legit or not? Sometimes, but not here. Yeah. People are like all the shoes too expensive so it can't be real. They can do a legit check if they want to up over there. Isn't it crazy how that happens though? It is crazy. It is. But where's sneaker time? How do you feel about that? It's a little, the level of disrespect. It's a little bit. You know what I'm saying? It's a little bit too much. I feel that. When you look good, I like it. You got the fit together. I appreciate it, bro. Thank you, bro. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Right here, right here, come here. This tail right here. Okay, so. My question to you. This is a table full of custom sneakers. Right? It's a regular and custom sneaker. So, how do people decipher like, cause you hear a lot of people say, is it real, is it fake, is it custom? It's real, but it's unique. It's what? Because the sole is authentic. Okay. And the manufacturing is for an exclusive model for every customer. So you have a real outsole and then you customize the entire upper. Can you repeat this because I'm from Italy. Oh yeah, you're right. So you have a real outsole and then you customize the upper. Yes, I customize the upper. We made the construction shoes and made the shoes with all premium materials. Straight out of Italy. Straight out of Italy. Right, yes. Oh, okay. Python skin, from here, Louis Vuitton, please. Okay. So you use an authentic bag, you take the material and then put it on the shoe. Put on the shoes, yes. Okay. So, I'll let you guys, oh there's like from a Gucci bag. That's on. Customize it. It's a leather shoes. Got you. Do everything. Okay, dope, I appreciate it. Thank you. Work on. Work on. Okay dope, I appreciate it. Thanks. Okay, so that right there. They use authentic materials and they customize the shoe. So how do you consider that? Is it a custom? Is it a fake? Is it a real? To me, it's a real custom, right? That what you're saying? In that kind of category. It's interesting how people have these conversations about the stuff, justifying the different things and everything. So I'm here to ask questions, get answers for you guys because I'm also very interested in this topic. Typically at the booths as well, you'll see a lot of the cheaper shoes are at the bottom and the more expensive shoes are gonna be at the top, the grails or whatever that may be. But another key thing to looking for sneakers is look for older stuff. When you look for older stuff, you know that the shoe is legit because when they make a fake of an old shoe, aging is a huge thing. You can see the aging in a shoe, whether it's yellowing, whether it's the paint cracking a little bit, whatever it may be. Those are factors on like, this is a legit shoe and it makes it a lot easier. So I always tell people like, if you plan on purchasing sneakers from like those other resale websites and stuff, you go after the old stuff, it's hard to fake the old stuff. Now the new releases, that's where they start to, you know, pull the wool over your eyes and get you with the new releases and stuff. So that's where you want to be more lary about stuff. But I'm interested to find somebody with some fakes on feet, you know, or some customs, whatever they like to call it, what the people got on their feet. Let's ask these people about fakes over here. How do you feel about fake shoes? I don't like it and hot take. Some of the people, some of the people who wear fakes, not real sneakerheads. I think it's ruining the whole sneaker game right now. Cause it's like, there's a lot of good fakes, but at the same time, just spend your money on real shoes. You know, that's what the value is at. Yeah, I feel it. I feel it. I like it. Okay. How do you feel about fakes? Fakes? Yeah. Did you see any fakes in the streets out here today? Not definitely for sure. Fakes suck, dude. Like, why are you buying a fake? Just buy the real thing. Come on now. Don't be that guy. Okay, okay. Hey, everybody's got their opinion. I'm not mad at it. He said I got the fake. See, I told you, I told you. They smell a little funky. Hey, it's been a long day. All right. Let's see what we can find. I need somebody with like, you know them like fake dunks there, probably be wearing with like the different stuff on them or like the, what's the other one? I think, oh, right there. There's somebody right there. You got somebody right here. You see the lightning bolt? Let's go ask him. I got a question about your kicks. Okay, so are these considered to be real fake or custom? People don't call them fake, but I think they're custom. I mean, he didn't do much, right? But I like them. Okay. So I think it just- They're considered to be a custom. It's a re-rock custom, however you want to put it. But yeah, I wouldn't call them fake, but you know. Okay. So what is the- They're dirty too. I didn't go to Mr. Clean yet. What's the title of the shoe? Cool Keys. Cool Keys? Yeah. And it's like, that's just the name of it. It doesn't say like Air Jordan 1-Low. No, no, no. So it's a designer named Key. Okay. I'm pretty sure he's from New Jersey. Okay. And yeah, no, he just, you know, at the time he was going crazy. So I probably got like 10 to 12 pairs. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I feel it. And they got different colorways and stuff. I understand why people, because it's like unique to that too. I mean, that's how he kind of got high. He was doing the color, well not saying he was doing the colorways before Nike, but you know, he's- The better colorways that people wanted. Yeah, exactly. And then all of a sudden Nike followed suit and started giving us all the color dunks we wanted. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Well, I appreciate the information. We're out here asking, you know, just trying to get the different perspectives to see if people rock and stuff. Like, I appreciate it. It's all good. Yeah, thanks bro. Hey. What's up? Oh, what's up bro? Hi. Are your shoes legit? Uh, yes. Yes? All right, let's take a pic. Let's take a pic. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. My dog. Yes, sir. I appreciate it. Hey, I love the shoes too, bro. Great shoes. I appreciate it. Hey, those is comfy too. I like those too. All right, I'll see y'all. We gotta ask some people if their shoes are legit. That's all we should do. Just come up to them bike. Are your shoes real or not? Oh, we got some right here. Right here, we got some off-white forces. Excuse me, sir. Are your shoes legit? Yeah. How much do you spend on them? Like six. Six hundred? Yeah. Do they look like that before you got them or after? No, after, they're brand new. You've been rocking them? Yeah. Honestly, I like the way they look like that. Thank you, yeah. I appreciate that. You've been putting that work in them. Thank you. OK, nice shoes. He says they're legit. Do you think so? Nah, they look legit. They look good. They look good. Everybody's looking solid, honestly, like, you know what I'm saying? And it's not as many people. Yesterday? Yesterday, they wasn't walking by left and right, but I seen a couple of ones. I was like, whew. Let's go to this table right here. What's happening? OK, load of stuff over here. You got to get close to this one. You got to show them all the stuff that's on the table. Tell them what we got on the table. I'll let her keep the camera on what's on the table. OK, so we got here the Jason Tatum. Tattoo force. Tattoo force. And canary mismatch sample. Luxy sample. OK. Belongs. History of fly. Nixie 3. Victory lap. Yeah, Victory lap. And for real. Spike Lee. OK. All these four are PJ's exclusive. OK. And the Futura. And these Travis 4, friend and family, signed by Travis. Go, go. The ore. And the true Oregon. Oregon ducks. Yep. What size are the ducks? 11 or 12. 11 or 12. OK. You're size 13. I'm a 13. I remember that, bro. Yeah. OK, so. Oh, that's a good one, too. So that's the prime example. This shoe is older. And you can see the yellowing from age right here. So when you say, oh, samples and PEs are so exclusive. They're so rare. How do you get your hands on them? If it was a fake pair that was made, you would be able to tell because these have aging because of time. So how do you go through, like, guaranteeing that you get a real pair of shoes when it comes to these samples and PEs and stuff? I smell it. You smell it? Yeah. Every time. Yeah, every time. I can tell by smell it. Yeah. Because the smell of all glue is different. So what about the people that say, oh, there's the good quality fakes without the smell. So there's always two friends. You're always two friends of fake and real. OK. Real, real. It was good. Hey, come here, come here. I got to go, I got to go. Yeah. So what do you think about samples and fakes and all that stuff? Like, how do you go through the authentication process and guaranteeing that your shoes are legit? Well, you can't replicate my eye or yours. Right. But initially, I don't know, man. I don't know if I have a nose for finding truffles, like a dog. Yeah. But you can just kind of sniff it out and just look at the shape and everything. But that's because of your experience over the years. Yeah. And that's a big thing, too. You've been in the game for how long? 23 years. 23 years. How long have you been in the game? 10 years. 10 years. So over that time, it's like easy to kind of identify the shoe. You can see it walking by from 30 feet away and just know. Yeah. It's crazy how that works. I've seen a lot of people wearing fake shoes. That's what I was saying. Bro, we're trying to find out up here. I've seen so many. I've seen the worst. Some dude came over with, we literally have a legit Paris, Freddy crewers, all this stuff. He's got to put this thing up right next to him and said that we're real. I was like, are you out of your mind? Hey, mind you, he's the guy with like, how many Paris's did you have? 33. 33 Paris or Paris dunks right here. Crazy. Not anymore. Not anymore. But yeah. He knows about some shoes. My hand all sweaty from his mic. But yeah. So that's kind of my question about it. Everybody's always interested in how do you build that confidence in going after and buying? Like, what was that first shoe that you spent a lot of money on that was like, ooh, I hope this is legit? Oh, the first one? From you, maybe. OK. The real and he. Oh, you got your first one for me. That's crazy. Yeah, those are legit. You don't have to worry about that. It's the first expensive shoes. Before that, all the general release shoes. That's fire. Yeah, but I know you. I saw your page. Yeah, I like that. I forgot about that. I didn't know that was like the beginning. Yes, sir. All right, good seeing you. Yep. OK, that's crazy. I forgot about that. I remember selling him some PEs back in the day. But like, I didn't realize that was his first one. And I got him started and now he got all these PEs. Let's do it. OK, y'all want to see some of my stuff? Shall we show them? We show them? OK, so we brought out, you know, I got to represent hometown Oregon Ducks always. Switched it up, brought some more expensive stuff. We brought the Oregon 5 basketball team. That shoe is like, people always ask, it's like a $20,000 shoe. Ooh, 28 days of flight right here. Brought these out for display this time. Another one that a lot of people, oh, this shoe's fake. No, this is a Lixie sample. Nobody's ever seen these before. I'm letting you guys get a quick look at them. Come on, give them a quick look. Lixie, Lixie. All right, get them out of here. Get them out of here. Get them out of here. Get them out of here. We'll do a review. I'll make sure I make a full review for you guys. Ray Allens, Louis, all the different stuff. Got some college PEs over here. Yeezys, red octubers. This is a shoe that got faked heavy back in the day. I feel like they don't fake them as much anymore. Maybe they do. But I remember there were some bad fakes of the Yeezys back in the day. Luckily, got mine from the homie at Nike. I got the whole set. Ooh, these things are beautiful. But yeah, this is some of the stuff I brought on display. Do we got anything else for them? What do you think? I have a question. What's up? What would make Yeezys great again? What would make Yeezys great again? I think, honestly, if you just buy the hat, that might make them great. Shopdncho.com. I'm out. No prepub. Are your shoes fake? Actually, yeah. You say what? They're custom. Oh, they're custom? Custom fakes. What kind of customs are those? We call these Uncle Granddaddy's. Granddaddy's? Uncle Granddaddy's. Uncle Granddaddy Kane's? Yeah. What do you mean Kane's? He's related to Dingleberry Larry. And Ashley Larry's his second cousin on his mama's side. I get it. Where can I find those? I got them from DHgate. I know a guy. He's in China. And I'm going to take about, I think it takes two weeks. But if you pay for extra shipping, it's extra shipping is like $27. $27 American dollars. And you will get them in, I think, I want to say five to seven days. OK, what's the plug's name? I can't tell you the plug's name I just have is WhatsApp. WhatsApp? I have his WhatsApp. Right, right. He's probably in the comments section right now of the video. He probably is, but I'm not going to, you know, I can't tell you the plug's name. I feel it, I feel it, I feel it. OK, what else we got? What's good? How you doing, bro? Appreciate it. Thank you, bro. Much love. How you doing? Good, how about you? What you rocking? Oriole floors? OK, OK. Are they legit? Yes. OK, that's what I'm asking around. I'm a friend of my guy from SneakerCon Bay Area. OK. And I had a buddy up there. He was there, too, so I was like, checking them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were good. So what do you do about making sure your shoes are authentic? Usually I look for the, because my buddy told me, just look on YouTube or TikTok, whatever I can find and say, hey, make sure you look for the stitching, the leather, all the other stuff, so that's. Definitely do it in multiple places before you go and make out purchases. That's what I usually do. Smart move, smart move. I like that. Appreciate it, bro. Thanks. OK. Oh, here we go. This is what I'm going right here. Excuse me, sir. Are these legit? I hope so. You hope so? I hope so. When did you get them? A while ago. This one I got retail. Got receipt and everything with that. This one I got in maybe 2013. Can I grab this one? Yeah. You got this in 2013? 2012, 2013, yeah. OK, so y'all know I'm from Oregon. OK, prime example. I don't know if you guys can see this on the camera. You see how there's cracking on the paint right here? Just very slightly right here. That's because of age. Now, I wear my pair a lot, which I might show you guys later in the video. But mine is super cracked up right here. This is a great telltale of, like, this is a legit pair. Exactly. Also, when it comes to the Oregon Thug 3s in particular, the O, the shape is off. And then the duck, the feet on the back, they're a little bit smaller. And then they're sometimes a little bit more square shaped and the materials are different. This is a legit pair. I know. Trust me, I've touched a lot of pairs. But the question is, when it comes to more expensive sneakers like this, how do you navigate in that space? Because a lot of people ask me that question. Like, it's so rare. Like, how did you get your hands on it? How do you know it's real? Yeah. I mean, for me, honestly, if people ask you where you got the shoes from or how you got it, it's just all basically by me. How do you know? You can see you got it from God, right? I mean, so at the end of the day, what they say is just hearsay, right? So I mean, you can't really go by. Even when you sell a car, they're like, oh, why are you selling it? Like, why does it matter? Oh, the car speaks to shit. That's why I'm selling it. And when you can go buy it, I mean, if they don't buy it because of that, then it's kind of weird. All the cars, it shoots money out of the glove box. What they buy, I mean, it's all hearsay, like I said. So at the end of the day, if people say where they get it from, whatever, I feel like it doesn't really mean anything. I told you this is when I got it, but it doesn't really mean it's a fact. Right, right. You could have got them yesterday. Exactly. So this is what it is. So I mean, I don't go by what people ask me or where you got the shoes from or how much you get. At the end of the day, you just got to make the judgment for yourself and just make the right choice. And I think it's about the trust in relationships, people that's been in a game for a long time that's looking out for each other, that's got your back. It's a huge thing to do. Please like this is because you get a legit check right away. So people have the peace of mind and it's not like you try to sell it online. They're always iffy about it. But here they can have that comfort that people are doing a legit check on it. So that's why it's cool. Yeah, I appreciate it, bro. Thanks for the info, yeah. OK, was that valuable information? Ask me down, drop a comment down below. I feel like we're hitting a lot of different points in the video asking different questions, stuff that I'm always interested in. So let's walk around, let's look at this. We've got to find some people with some bad fakes and we've got to find some people with some shoes. I don't know the name of them. It's like they just got the symbols and stuff on the side. They look like dunks but they like switch the swoosh out. Not the zigzag ones but there's something else. I think a big thing is this is like when you come to the events like this, it's about building relationships too. It's not about just buying shoes. And the reason why I say that is, again, back to what we were talking about just a minute ago, trusted people, trusted sellers. Speaking of that, let's go over to a very trusted seller that I've known for a long time. Good friend of mine. If you guys haven't seen the videos on the channel, we've done stuff in the vault before. Let's go check out Project Blitz. They got some crazy heat up in the case and they sell new releases as well because they do a lot of samples and PEs which is right up my alley. So let's go check that out. And in the meantime, while we're walking over there, oh, let's ask them right here. What do you think about these? Okay, so I have a question. What's up, boss? What's going on? We're interested in different sneakers like this. Is this considered a fake, a custom, or a real shoe? We're not grouped in with them. With who? Whoever else. We don't do what they do. Okay. This is our brand. Okay. So it's your shoe from your brand? Everything's made from scratch. Okay. Every piece of the process we vet through picking the rubber materials, picking the uppers, the stitching techniques. Other people will get a blank and do whatever. Ours is completely from scratch. Okay. What's the name of the brand? Dibbik. Dibbik? Okay. How long y'all been around? This has been around for three years. Before that, I was doing like customs and stuff. But we came out like, my homies like Trevor and Kai were some of the first people to come to market with type of shit like this. We came in around that time. And that's really when people tried to like recreate the wave. But for years before that, you got to go through sampling and stuff like that. And so a lot of people get lost in the sauce trying to make something that looks like something else. But we never, the goal was never to make something that looks like something else. We're skaters. We wanted to make our own thing. And so, yeah. So, all right. Yeah, I'm just asking all the different types of sneakers and everybody said, yeah, real fake. And what's the other one I said? Custom. Yeah, that's a lot of different people that categorize things in different ways. So I'm interested to see what people think. Appreciate it, bro. I got you. Thanks. That's a great example, right? What's like dice on the side of the shoe? Yeah. But it looked like a dump. Silhouette. Silhouette. Little bit of extra piece of material. How do you create a brand new silhouette of a shoe that is gonna A, perform well, and B, good for performance? Like, where? Right. So that's the thing though, like, to be an original design is very, very hard to be successful when you have classic iconic staple models. Yeah, so when people have classic iconic models like the Jordan 4, the 3, the 11, the 1, the 6, the dunks, the Air Force ones, the Cortezes, the Blazers, the, you know what I'm saying? Like, you have all these iconic models, the Shell Toes, the different brands have their staples from 30, 40 years ago. People are recreating those and putting their twist on it. But back then, they were making those shoes for the first time. And it was, you know, changing the game. So I was like, how do we set that new tone in a new way, right? So then we have to look at more futuristic sneakers and different stuff like that, and then ask that question. Even with some of the Yeezies, like you look at those wild ass foam Yeezy shoes and like you say, then everybody start copying their style, right? So I don't know, it's very interesting on that part. But for me, you always take it back to that. Just like when you hear a song, right? You're like, oh, they sampled this. I know what that song, the original song was. This is the new version. So I feel like it's kind of that same way when it comes to designing. And it is hard, yeah. But if you're a small brand and you wanna be successful, you're gonna create something that you know that works, right? Or if you make a YouTube video, it's like, oh, let's make something that I know worked in the past and then we'll make it, you know, make my version of it in the future. Everybody can look at it different ways though. But we're at Blitz now. Come over here. Let's look at some real dunks right here. These things is crazy. All right, so I'll be in the case. I'll let you do some talking now. Man, we got probably an Yeezy million in here. Crazy, crazy Paris. You know, we got the Flams, the Freties, Futura samples, Parises. We got the whole city pack with New York, with the London, Tokyo, Paris. But as you can see, we got the Trav Playstations. I'll pull them out for you guys. These are insane. Everybody's been loving them this entire weekend. People constantly asking about them. They say there's 24 pairs in the world, but this is the only pair that I've seen. So, you know, we also got some of these that rumor on the street is they actually came from this guy. Sorry. And he might want them back. So we might have to work something on these because these got to go, man. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Yeah, because they're going to be ready to bust at any moment. So yo, we got some 85s. Yes. Crazy pair. Super slept on it in this entire case. You know, everyone wants to hear about the Freties, the Parises, obviously the Travs, but this pair is insane. Super crazy pair. I love how the laces change over time and the age. That's what we're talking about. If you fake an old shoe, especially an old ass shoe like that, it's like you can't do it because aging is a huge factor. Even on these dunks and stuff, like if you make a new version, a new fake version of it now, it's like it's kind of impossible because you know the aging and how the materials wear and all the different things. So how do you guys go through your authentication process when it comes to getting stuff? Because y'all got bulk, y'all got samples, y'all got PEs, all those different things. Man, well, to tell you the truth, a lot of our stuff comes from some pretty reliable sources. And you probably know that too. So, you know, we go through it and make sure everything's good, but any customer of ours can guarantee that everything is 100% authentic. Right. And that's one of the most important things I was talking about. You build relationships, you find the brands that you like, and then like we've talked about in other videos as well. Continually buy from those same people that you rock with because then you start to get a deal, they start hooking you up, you're consistent with them. Like if you're gonna go spend $500 on a pair of shoes, why buy it with a new person? Buy it from the same person you've already been rocking with because they might sell you from 480. You might save 20 bucks. You do that every time. You save $300, $400 over a year. Or it might be a couple thousand dollars over a year. But that's again, a whole nother topic. But you know what I'm saying. Yeah, sure. So, yeah, check out the booth real quick. We got some crazy bangers in there. You get the bottom side, the Blitz, LED, or the neon sign up in there. If y'all haven't seen the vault video like I was talking about, I'll try to link that down below if I remember. If not, we might have to pull back up. I'm sure they got some new stuff up in there. See what they got on the low. They, it, he said they getting rid of stuff. See, last time they wasn't trying to. I might have to try to make a play, which y'all think down below. All right, man. Appreciate it, man. It's good, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do it. Let's do it. You watching the video? That's what's up. Hey, we're making a video right now. Tell the subscriber to the channel. Yeah, y'all subscribe. You already know. Yeah, let's go. All right, man. Everybody give it up for Chance and DJ Sneaker. Yeah, sir, y'all got some giveaway stuff? That's good. Size medium. Got the hang of them, too. I hate doing that stuff. I get too nervous. But this guy, he commences me to go every time. Let's get a picture. Let's do it, bro. The designer of this wants to give away three pairs. I appreciate it, bro. Thank you. Thank you. Too tight, huh? Yo. Yo. Is that new shoes right there? Real or fake? Right here with the blue shoes. The patent letters. He said it. You can say it farther right. OK. Damn, those are bad. Excuse me. Can we get a clipper? You guys, there's kicks? Oh, yeah, sure. What y'all rocking today? Jordan wants green. I don't know. Yeah, they're green. She got me these. I don't even know what they call it. From New York, that's all I know. Roy Light, the nipsey blue. He said nipsey blue. What in the hell is that? I feel bad too. But she bought him some fakes. He don't even know. She said she got them on the stock X. Lying. And I know they didn't sell them on the stock X because that looks extra fake. OK, so what do you feel about situations like that? Bro didn't even know. He's just out here trying to get fly, put the fit together. He's like, this is cool, you know what I'm saying? Like, how do we navigate those situations? What do you think? I feel like it's burnt out because I would never do that to you, but maybe she didn't know. You know, maybe she's not educated and she's enough to be like, oh, that's a fake shoe. And then, like, I can't even, like, roast somebody or whatever, even if I roast in all that shit is stupid. But in a way, like, I can't be like, oh, like, he's not an experienced sneakerhead. It'd be different if he was an experienced sneakerhead purposely, like, rocking the fakes and all that stuff. He don't even know. That's crazy. Let me know what y'all think down below in the comment section. I would never let you down. Yo, before you go, I just launched my sneakerhead academy where we got everything on the inside. I teach you all the stuff that I learned over the past 15 years. When it comes to sneakers, scaling, real estate, you name it. We talk about all of it in there. There's a eight-week program plus a bunch of monthly giveaways. I give away shoes literally way too much, honestly. But either way, I'll see you guys on the inside. Hit the link down below in my description or pinned in the comment section for DJ Sneakerhead Academy. And I'll see you guys over there.
