I only ever had 3 pairs of reps in my life and it was when I was in college and used to go to clubs and parties all the time. In those settings it's hard to see that they're reps but if they do see it may God help you bc they gonna flame yo ass out the party
One of my squad mates had a side hustle selling gas station reps in ‘07. I threw him $50 to support and bought a pair of white/white low top ones.
They actually looked good, but felt cheap as fukk on foot. An hour after wearing them the midsole started bulging out the side, where the air pod was supposed to be lmao. Felt like I was walking on bricks.
I cut them open just out of curiosity. Most of the midsole was just a facade, with straight up foam on the inside and an empty space where the legit Nike cushioning was supposed to go. The leather upper was also starting to come apart because the sewing was so bad. The insole was super thin and I also noticed that the shoe didn’t even fold/crease in the right spots. Extended wear would probably guarantee knee pain later down the line lol.
