Nike Air Huarache Real Vs Fake


Fake Huaraches are many. They are one of the most replicated pairs of trainers in the UK. And for good reason. They are so popular right now that, although I don't condone people making fakes, I can see why they do it. Whatever is popular, whether that be jeans, tracksuits, hats or trainers, it will be copied like crazy because there is big money to be made. The replica business makes millions per year. I don't know the exact amount of money, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the hundreds of millions a year.

Some people know full well that they are buying a fake item. Why buy the real thing when you can get a replica that looks the same to most people from a distance for a fraction of the price. And due to money being tight for a lot of people out there, some only want to buy fakes. It's all they can afford. You can buy a pair of fakes for a little as £20. Of course, the quality is nowhere near the same level as an original pair. And they won't last as long. However, some fakes, depending on the source, are excellent, and with those high quality fakes you would be hard pressed trying tell the difference between a top notch fake pair and a real pair. Even some experts would have a hard time. But this is the exception.

Take a look at the video below - Nike Air Huarache Real Vs Fake - where the guy compares a pair of Love / Hate Huarache to an original pair of Nike Air Huarache "Snow Camo".




Under basic inspection most replicas can be seen for exactly what they are. Which is cheap, poor quality trainers. But they do have their place among society. If you're skint and you really want a certain pair of Nike Air Huarache, and there's fakes being sold for £25. Are you going to buy a pair?. If the quality is acceptable most people will. Some people actually think the genuine pairs are a total rip off due to their inflated price tag. And when you consider that the price to make / manufacture the genuine pairs is very low, (its been well reported by the media) I can see why some people have this view.

It's crazy how fakes have become slowly accepted on major websites. Take a look on Amazon (there are fakes being sold on there), eBay, where people are even telling you straight up in the listing descriptions that the trainers are replicas. And Ali Express, where they basically act as the middlemen and allow sellers of fake merchandise to use their portal in order to connect with buyers / clients and ship in fakes from around the world (Mostly from China / Hong Kong) to western countries like the UK and USA and seem to be still up and running just fine.

In fact, they are raking in the doe! Then there's the millions of other sites out there that sell exclusively replica's of all kinds, not just Huaraches. It's madness. Just keep in mind when thinking about fakes that the quality is mostly random and solely depends on the source. There is no set "Fake standard".
