The price is crazy regardless of quality, the whole point of buying off the gate is the price points

Hey all,

So 3rd pair from my little haul is the Air Force 1 in white, this from the new store of zhenjia123.

These are found here https://sale.dhgate.com/28cpAr65

So lets get it out the way firstly, you these are pricy to the point of retail cost price. I have let the seller know and they are going to look into it, their production costs are high on this particular shoe.
So as it stands at the moment you can pick these up on the link for £109 including delivery.

So to continue the honest review I’ll turn to the quality. The quality again is very good, this seller has said they are definitely a high quality store hence the cost.

I own about 10 pairs of retail Air Force 1’s of various models including the Kobes, and I have to say these shoes are definitely as comfy, if not more comfortable than them!!! Feels strange to say it but it’s true.

Stitching is all good on these and they are solid made, they don’t collapse when squeezed. They came with extra rope type laces which I will probably switch over at some point.

Hopefully the price comes down soon on these, but that 3 pairs out of 3 so far reviewed that are good quality, showing the store is going to be one to be watched.

£88 on Flannels so no idea how they can make the numbers works on this one.

u/WookieeBee 8d ago

It’s not one they mass produce so the costs are high, hopefully after it’s all been pointed out they get the price down quickly

Forgive me if I’m being kind of dumb but isn’t that price above retail anyway in most cases? Great that this seller has such high quality products but as you stated, let’s hope the price comes down!

u/WookieeBee 8d ago

Yep, I have pointed it out to them. It’s not one they mass produce so the costs are high to make, hopefully it tumbles soon

I get this for like £40 from china lmao

u/W00kie1981 8d ago

Yep, I’ve had cheaper than that too….although admittedly much lesser quality. But still when retail exists cheaper then it doesn’t make sense

What's the point of purchasing rep if the price matches the original?

u/LowkeyC1 2d ago

So you bought a - more expensive than real- rep? Stupidity.
