I'm afraid it's hard to predict. 2 Adidas both 1 size bigger my usual and 1 is just nice on the verge of being tight, the other I had to sell cos too small. I repeat both same size as per label. 2 nike are yet to arrive

I'd say since she's a kid and they grow fast to get at least 1 size bigger if not 2

I agree that the 'best value' is the $60 shoe for most people, but people who know what yeezys look like will definitely know they're fake because the biggest tell is the mirrored pattern on the shoe which is present on the ones in this price range. If you live in a place where no one cares then get which ever price range you're comfortable with, not like anyone is going to call you out, but people who know about yeezys will almost certainly be able to spot the wrong pattern. Much the same sense of wearing a rep watch with the incorrect besel. Not many people will notice or even know the original but the aficiandos will do... If you're around people who would spot a fake (and you don't want them to) then the best value has to be the 1:1 ones as they're the only ones that can pass for gen in a day to day environment.

I agree but in my opinion the people who understand the mirror pattern vs unmirrored pattern is very small, one thing, As you mentioned with watch difference, mostly people on the rep forums know these differences, just a very small group. Great example for me was this weekend when I went to Champs and a couple of employees were interested in my rep yeezys, just staring and admiring them, and these are employees, they didn't see the flaws, I just think the mirrored pattern isn't obvious when you are walking around, you and I might know it but pretty much everyone else doesn't. We had a comparison picture in this thread and most people couldn't see it.

Just received these from AE. Time to drop a long post with lots of pictures :laugh:

This is the $15 card holder. The material is really soft and has a leathersmell, the stitches are a bit crooked and the logo on the front is a bit messy...But it's for the cheap price I can't really complain.

The blue one is the $10 one and the black one is $6. The blue one has a really nice weight, but the black one feels a bit too light. But overall happy with the purchase.

Some random brand jacket with Fendi "monster eye" style I picked up for my brother. $20 the quality is so-so, it's a nylon jacket and a bit stiff but other than that it looks good when you have it on.

It's a nice and soft belt, I think i paid around $30 for it. The stitches are really nice on this one and the buckle is perfect. I really liked the material on this one so I ordered one more.

Don't really know much about these just that they cost around $10 or something. They include a nice looking box which is perfect for gifting.

Is this what you're referring to as mirrored, unmirrored?

Yup, the cheaper rep ones all have this mirrored pattern (as far as I am aware), where as the higher end reps ($120-$180) have the proper pattern and are pretty much indistinguishable from the genuines. Once you're aware of mirrored v unmirrored it's pretty obvious which ones are reps, the higher end reps are now so good people are struggling to distinguish them from gens. Personally I don't like the shoes enough to spend the $180 on the best reps, give it a few months though and I'll cop a pair when they're a bit cheaper...

As you can see these are from seller Eva ZHENG cost 70 with protective box, having compared these final version to those sold by Jessie's Yeezy previously these have the gen pattern. Anything prior to final version does not hence the lower than 60 cost. Hopefully this helps others understand

I'm sorry if I step on anyone's toes, but apart from the limited production of these sneakers I really do not see the appeal. For me gen or rep look cheap. They look like some generic shop brand sneakers. And it does not help that I am not a fan of mr West. I understand paying premium for a higher quality item, like a watch, leather bag... Heck even good quality shoes. And if I should by a rep of such a product, it as to be close to gen.

Are the gen Yeeys better than another sneaker from the same brand: better quality material or workmanship?

Sorry for my rant.

I am getting a bit old... But I love sneakers, I got a wall full of them at home.

They're pretty close to gen but the pattern goes straight up as opposed to the diagonal pattern on the gens. You can only really tell this when you pay close attention and view them straight on, they're a pretty solid buy for $70.

For 110+ less than the perfect version and considering the quality on the foot for 70 it's definitely worth the money as opposed to the cheaper versions. You have to have a keen eye such as yourself to truly spot the slight patten difference in the final version

Makes no sense whatsoever to pay $200+ for poorly made (and absolutely hideous) fake shoes. Just go to Saks, Neiman or Barneys and check out their sale section, there's always good stuff that's 50% off or more. I've scored several pairs of REALLY nice shoes that normally go for $600 or more for around $200.

I am really picky when it comes to shoes. I am slightly addicted as well. My work going to Italy a few times a year... And I go visit some gooood shoe factories(that have outlets) each time. ;-) in general cheap made shoes make my feet hurt. For sneakers I have an addiction for Porsche design. Luckily I have a friend living close to an outlet store....

But the watch was bought from: http://fr.aliexpress.com/store/1796291

But the item site is gone, maybe hit them with a message and they will get it for you.

As far as i know...It shouldn't be there and the hot stamping of " GOYARD PARIS med in france" should not be on the same side as the Goyard logo.

Edit: Scratch that...It depends on the model, but I tried to put in my card and it sticks out far too much. looks a bit funky, will post a picture.
