Big Boi talks about his fake Jordans

Big Boi addresses his recent spotting at a Sneaker Pimps show where he was wearing fake Jordans. He didn’t know and in this video, he admits to that fact. As a sneakerhead, I constantly hate on fake Jordans. I think its just derives from the fact that I got duped on eBay for $400 on some Jordan 4s 6 years ago and haven’t let go of that anger. Big Boi is like most sneaker heads where we didn’t start buying shoes until we actually had a salary. And by that time, we are making up for lost time. Glad he admitted his naivety and just said, “move on”. Thanks to Gotty & Co. for the inspiration to post this.

    seriously, you just have to know when something is fake. like, the colorway should explain it all. if it’s never come out and you didn’t get them from anybody AT Nike/Jordan???

    walk away.

    I know. But he can blame it on his stylist. I thin I will use the same excuse if i get caught in that situation. The fake Jordan 4s I got off of Ebay were the cement version and looked so dead-on real. But they weight liked 5 pounds each. I think they were made of cement.

    Lol. You gave up $400.00 for shoes that cost $20.00 to make in a sweatshop. You deserve to loose your money.

    I agree w/ Home Skillet that some fakes are as comfy as real jordans but there is a sense of confidence one has when you know you have the real thing on that a variant can never substitute for.
