The Complex Sneakers Podcast asks “why do people wear fake sneakers?”
“Fake sneakers, which were once universally condemned in collecting, have become increasingly embraced by people who want limited edition Air Jordans or Nike SB Dunks but don’t want to pay crazy resale prices for them. In this episode of the Complex Sneakers Podcast, the cohosts discuss the eventual embrace of counterfeit sneakers. They also break down the upcoming Adidas Yeezy relaunch, the mystery Jordan shoe worn by Travis Scott, and Carmelo Anthony’s best player exclusives.” – Complex
