What's good people? Those that know me personally are well aware that 23 days 9 hours and 45minutes out of the week Jordan's are on my feet...... yes you read correct and I quote "23 days, 9 hours and 45 minutes out of the week" end quote. Authentic Jordan's that is.... you know, the ones that are sold from an authorized retailer and they also come with receipts..... yeah, those. Counterfeit J's have flocked to the soles of many, and the "counterfeit consumer" boasts as if the product is genuine! Who sells these people these outlandish dreams? If you know that dude.... tell him that I said he sucks! A majority of the counterfeit consumers swear "on everything that I love yo" that they are official..... better be glad that no one takes ya'll up on that offer homeboys! I must admit, in the midst of all of this ranting that some of those counterfeit color combinations are kinda fly, but they still suck as a whole! You guys thought you had a friend, huh? Sure wish that I had some Chicken Lo Mien right about now....... but, I digress..... bootlegging is big business and it will not stop on the account of my fusing. Oh well, I addressed it in my own little way! I am well aware that this doesn't rank up there with "World Peace" and all; however, it was on my mind the moment I decided to post a new blog. All-in-all.... I guess that imitation is the price that you pay for being hot, huh?!
Oh yeah, all of those shoes in that pic are indeed mine and AUTHENTIC!!
- To those who support counterfeits: Do you! Just keep that D-League stuff over yonder...... we're NBA status over here!
- To the "authentic connoisseurs" and all other various hobby collectors: Whether you collect bottle caps or collect dust, keep your hobby alive! A big "What up?!" goes out to you!

i totally agree with you, counterfeit consumers totally ruin a good thing. the companies that make the real product are getting ripped off because they put so much time and money into developing a product just to have someone steal their design and sell it cheaper. why cant people realize that by purchasing a counterfeit it causes the price of the genuine item to increase due to the lost profit that the company has to counterbalance. the quality of counterfeit products are also inferior to the genuine products and i know some people think that it doesnt matter but all they need to do is go on ebay and buy some counterfeit performance parts for their cars and see what happens. the same is with the Jordans, the counterfeit Jordans dont last as long as the real thing. in the end purchasing counterfeit products ruins the name of the companies that produce the genuine products because that companies name is on the counterfeit and they put too much time and money into developing a quality product to have their name ruined by knock offs.

i totally agree with you homie. having jordan's once meant something (still does in my opinion), but with the abundance of fake j's on tha market, i personally think it brought the value of j's down. i remember when u had to be at tha mall early in the morning if u wanted to get that new exclusive pair of j's. now, all u got to do is go to the flea market, your local barber shop, or hell, outta someone's trunk. at times i didnt even want any j's for the simple fact that they were everywhere. they were no longer considered as exclusives, in my opinion. but, i must admit, i am guitly for buying one pair of fake j's bout 3 years ago. i was fascinated with the color scheme and the thought that no one else would have them. but what they dont tell you that those fake j's are made out of cheap ass materials and those shoes hurt my feet like hell. while i got plenty of stares at my feet, u know when people watchn or lookn at something thats u got if its hot, i eventually threw them shits in the trash. i couldnt believe that i had stooped to the level of buying fake shoes. its the same as if i was wearing fake gucci, coogi, sean john, or any other major designer clothing. i had come to my senses and put those shoes where they belong. IN THA TRASH!!! thats where the rest of these fake j's need to go. so, with that being said, im wit u homie on this. n to anyone that takes pride in wearing fake shit, no matter how good it looks, jus know that anyone that takes pride in their appearance or their shoe game, step ya game up n only deal with them authentics
yay!! Wellington can spell!!
Okay on the real: I totally agree with your opinion. I know that if I come up with a decent invention, I would not want to see the 'equate' brand next to my hardwork and effort. The authenticity of a product should no doubt be given the undisputed credibility of being genuine. Knock-off brands degrade the official status and thus (like Brandon said) brings the value of a product down. However, for the unfortunate individuals who can not afford such luxurious footwear, these knock-off brand J's give them and even playing field. Gotta rep for both sides sorry!!
Pooooooodleeee! ;)
jon i agree with you about bootlegging but it doesn't just stop with sneakers. it goes for movies. music and lots of other things too. i think that if people actually took the time to stop and think if it were there product that was being bootlegged how would they feel? these designers, actors, and musicians deserve to make their money they work hard for it so let them make their money. i've never owned a pair of jordans but i know you love them and i support you homie.
much love
I agree about them Jordans...I personally wear a mix of Nikes, adidas, and1, and soon to be some new K1X sh*t.
oh, yeah...Air Force my brotha, Air Force.
I have herd tooooo many horror stories about Fake J's. The "counterfeit consumers" wont rest until they get foot cancer
