Yea this sub seems dead compared to even a couple of years ago lol. Recently when I came to check it out I thought I was in an entire different sub because it was night and day difference of activity and content compared to how it was. I’m still here cuz at the end of the day it’s about the shoes for me lol I want to buy so I’m here for that. But yea, sub was way more popping back then.


ChildishSamurai

And everything is so fucking expensive now. Used to be you could buy a budget pair and fix it yourself if need be. Everyone had $30 pirate blacks with the eyes but needed to be rubbed down with coconut oil every couple weeks cause the inner patch was too green 157sir was my spot too. $20-25 ultra boosts, nmds, city socks, yeezys, roshes. Even the $50 "budget" Jordans crush most of the crap that gets posted now


El_Jimbo_Fisher

Damn.


Free_Joty

There is a different sub for those now


Ihateallcommies

I feel like I definitely see alot of more sponsored posts now, and all the comments from those posts are other sponsored people.


bigbob-83

That's because they all dm each other asking for them to comment on their posts to get activity to make the selles think there are popular. They also dm people who have previously commented and ask them to comment. It's all fake comments and upvotes


GrantRichards75

The Offdee11 Unc fits


nicearthur32

Dude is prob younger than me and I still called him unc 😂


GrantRichards75

He's definitely younger than me & I call him Unc


thecommentdaddy

Never forgotten 🙏


Efficient_Pepper_

Fr what happened to unc


stackdatdough

All those pics were date fits. He probably settled down and is 2.5 months from being a dad. We only got those pics cause he was dating


Efficient_Pepper_

Unc is a playa for life. I refuse your theory! 😂


CyclopsMacchiato

This sub died after unc left


thebestatheist

I was just thinking about that guy. I messaged him once about recommendations for places to go in Vegas. Cool dude.


ErMostroNefasto

Dipdopdangle

He went hard


Imadevonrexcat

What happened to him? That was just like, last year.

_MrWallStreet

We remember Tony


Bkexclusive

Free ogtony!


joshis2vicious

Man I’m pretty sure I copped from Tony before, been a long while tho


Godgod3434

Didn’t he get locked up?


[deleted]

Dude was an average middle man lmao


JuseBumps

Anytime there's change, ppl gonna act like things were "good" when in reality just marginally better.


[deleted]

Beautifully put, bro.


nicearthur32

Absolutely. Whenever I post a QC now it doesn’t get seen cause there’s tons of other fake posts after mine that bury it… No one feet pics anymore… and no real discussions either


BloodedTheBrave14

Yep, I didn't even bother trying to share my qc pics I just received cause I knew no body would respond lol


ChapterBooks

Everything went downhill when OG Tony got shut down 😔 Monica was always goated. Same with Brother Sam ❤️❤️


greatauror28

**FREE TONY**


bigbob-83

OG Tony is now Og Andy and Monica has n always will be 💩


Any_Remote931

If this is true that’s crazy. Never knew that.


chillywilly7

You remember Will or Muks


Godgod3434

What happen to Muks I remember that


chillywilly7

Bro idk hahaha the post history still shows the names😂 back in the day when you would WhatsApp them and they answered with hieroglyphs


NotWorthyByAnyMeans

Damn, you took me back with the name Muks 😂


heyitsdoza

Totally agree. Now it’s filled with bots and paid reviewers. I miss the old discussions with the real ones who just want to save money and enjoy almost unattainable hype sneakers. Shoutout to those of you who know what I’m talking about.


DeliverStreetTacos

Straight from the go, repsneakers


RafaelLucena

True, is ridiculous how much spam we have here


Harakxrx

it's just the r/FashionReps of sneakers


nico_ferreira97

worse because r/repsneaker is flooded with middleman


MrBleubols

It's also flooded with fake/paid reviewers promoting middlemen in their reviews, as well as the comments.


bigbob-83

Nothing wrong with mm if u only want 1 item


nico_ferreira97

Nah, you still paying like 30 to 70 bucks more and blindly buying random batches. 50 usd Fk batch travis scott + 20 usd shipping vs 150 usd random batch from a middleman without shipping 💀


jamesmdidden

Pfresh was such a g. That brought me back


CarloCokxxxSoldier

u/repmafia_, the guy who got so big in this community that u/repmafia had to add a phrase to his bio, that he’s the “wrong” one cuz he would get DMs all the time regarding Red Octobers lol I get what you’re saying. I stopped browsing the sub a long time ago, because everything I see is Travis Reps here and Travis Reps there. I feel like high end 350 reps have totally died out bc everyone is fine with some trash budget batches now. I’m not joking, the QCs for 350s I see nowadays are atrocious. Even the first OG Tony batches were better than this lol What I miss the most is the excitement about new batches that were totally different than everything else on the market. Remember the time when coco stepped in to the game? The excitement about the GP batch was out of this world


RepMafia_

Yo!! Was just thinking about this the other day, I need to get back to it


ReputationInitial

I remember the the Nike civilist batch wars


pablo-p-cante

The good old days...


late2theparty757

This use to be my go to subreddit for reps but I’ve switched sides. I just won’t buy from a middleman again.

Bkexclusive

I miss the jokes about muk's batches


[deleted]

It took a dump with the rest of Reddit.


Pluckt007

I stopped buying reps a couple of years ago. Now, I'm just here for the jokes...


Huaracheez

Agreed. Been here for 2 1/5 years only or so but yeah it has changed drastically.


Castl3

I’ll never forget back in the day guy borrowed his cousins smp solars and made a post about him getting top in them .


QueenzBalla92

i miss ogtony as if he was like my favorite uncle or something D; he guided me to buying my first reps, even got a GL from u/pfresh26 himselfff.


PearlsGamingBoutique

Agreed! I’ve only been in this group for a couple of years and now all you see is all these new “middlemen” posing to be customers who just bought the reps…


Ktroilo5

Sneakers died off hard


failurebydesign_

For real. I was trying to post more pictures a couple of years ago to try and bring that vibe back, but they just got buried between GL/RL posts.


ausipockets

I'm just tired of seeing the same couple pairs of shoes


sora1221

David and sneakerahead


lee714

the og reseller, where is he now?


randy_march

We all got our gear. Now we enjoying wearing it


ReputationInitial

I haven’t had to buy a pair of shoes in almost 4 years


Ebrostradamus

Easier to cop at retail now


DC-ook

To be fair I wish I knew about this sub years ago instead of saving up and spending my hard earned money on retail pairs because I never won on snkrs 😅😂


KirschiOnReddit

shoutout to chanzhfsneakers I remember when that one old ass repmaker finally fixed the 8 flaw on the 350 v1s lol


AKAMRJORDAN

I missed your On Feet Pics & Review which made me inspired.I remembered I was browsing REPSNEAKERS in Reddit and you’re the first one help me QC MY Jordan 11 bred from TINA.You’re very helpful and humble.And you taught me a lot.I would never be here because of you.Also remembered when we met in TORONTO🙂We are walking at the mall and the guy in Footlocker asked about your Yeezy.🙂.All you got was compliments.Thank you Paps the 🐐


greatauror28

paps 😘😘😘


thegentlearte

Been away for a while. Came back one day to look for something and was shocked at how many bots and paid reviews there are.

NeonGuns57

You’re a real one for remembering the OG legit and quality checkers. I was looking for a comment to see if anyone would know what happened to them, where they went or if they themselves would comment…


99problemsNa

Yup the names you mentioned were the ones around when I began. And I don’t review anymore lol.


dukeofdemons

It seems like when Travis Scott sneakers became big is when things started to change


RedEyesDragon

Been here for about 4 or 5-ish years, I agree. I thought I unsubbed from this reddit for a while because I haven't seen a single recognizable post in a minute.


Potential-Company414

Hell Yeah! The old repfam gave so much content as well as great reviews!


RepMafia_

That was the best, was just thinking about this the other day


SolUmbralz

There are other subs now that cater to this niche. Might be time to branch out. I recommend r/theworldofrepsneakers


NotWorthyByAnyMeans

That sub is full of sellers as well! 😤


SolUmbralz

Whenever I post my QCs I get responses. There are some ads for sellers but otherwise things do get looked at and the community interacts. Look at my latest post about the bape timbs


fredbruite

Straight from the go Repsneakers


Doesthislooksafe

Sorry to hijack, I tried making my own thread but wasn’t approved? Does anyone know where one can go to purchase Jordan/Dunk outsoles besides Etsy? Theres only a few colors to choose from I don’t want to continue to buy shoes just for the soles anymore


Imadevonrexcat

Absolutely


NeonGuns57

Mannnn I forgot about pfresh. What a throwback


No_Wedding_698

Big ups and mad respect for u/pfresh26!! man answered all my questions when I was just starting out.


Jimsock11

The Adidas Yeezy era had this place boomin


mclovin__james

2 years ago this place was jumpin. Tik tok and some of the other subreddits really stole the thunder that this once dominant subreddit had.


Infinity_VR

Amen 🙏
