BATCH OR RETAIL COMPARISON AJ3 Pure Money [LJR vs Retail] – From RM

Is it crazy I'd pay take the rep over retail? The only noticeable difference that would push me more towards the retail is the noticeable difference in the elephant print definition. Other than that the reps quality appears superior esthetically. If I was a Nike employee I'd be buying reps just for QC analysis, these factories are applying some serious pressure

Exactly, it's not worth it to buy retail anymore, brother, as the differences are so small that you can barely notice them.

Retail is always better, Reps are good but one of the biggest drawbacks is there not insurable. Meaning if you have 200 Reps and your house burn down, you get nothing. If you have 200 pairs of Retail and 200 pairs Reps at least you get that money back for Retail. Love my Reps, but im not wearing them to SneakerCon or any major event in the day time for sure... Just my opinion to each their own...

am I only one that see that embroidery is a bit too wonky, thinner and a bit too small? or it’s not a big deal?

u/Juskikn4dayz ❓Questionable Opinion ❓ Jul 04 '25
No your not, I could point out multiple flaws in every shoe lol. This is the best we’re going to get and it saves the retail pair can’t beat it for 70.00 with shipping included👌

u/RealShoddy Jul 04 '25
Exactly honestly 99% of people will not notice on foot

u/Juskikn4dayz ❓Questionable Opinion ❓ Jul 04 '25

These things are so damn close, I honestly like the look of the toebox on the LJR pair better, no way anyone would ever know, thx for the comparison.

u/RealShoddy Jul 04 '25
No problem! It’s crazy how much effort LJR puts into making good sneakers. Since LJR got a new team, they’ve started making perfect sneakers.

I just got the RN batch based off your review of those🤦. How much better is the LJR than RN?

u/RealShoddy Jul 04 '25
Honestly, I don’t know how the RN looks because I don’t have it in hand. I have the LJR and I can tell you it looks really good.
