2:08
process I hope you guys are watching

2:15
grain you see
2:17
[Music]
2:20
that making it
2:28
man that's insane right look at
2:34
it bang now look at your finished
2:36
product when that's done that's what you
2:39
get this right
2:42
here that's the Boost
2:45
midso from a fake
2:48
company
2:50
right now A lot of people are going to
2:53
say to
2:54
me Yo T why do you care about this fake
2:58
stuff man why does I bother you let me
3:00
make something clear I don't care if you
3:03
want to wear fakes I don't care if you
3:04
want to wear replica shoes that's not my
3:06
problem I don't make money for you
3:09
that's your money you can buy whatever
3:10
you want but there are
3:13
consequences and that's the implications
3:15
that's what I want to talk about today
3:17
you know like when this companies it
3:19
used to be so easy to to to identify
3:22
fakes you know like when you you go to a
3:24
flea market and you knew they were fix
3:26
cuz the the material was bad everything
3:27
was just awful but now
3:30
they've transitioned onto better uh
3:33
fakes which is sometimes so hard to F
3:36
like tell when you look at them it's so
3:38
hard to like identify to the point where
3:42
you kind of have to be like Sherlock
3:43
Holmes and it takes too long to like
3:45
detect these fakes now the thing is as a
3:50
reseller you have to fight with people
3:53
like them introducing fix into the
3:56
market so when you're on eBay dudes are
3:59
selling in Concord for like 300 Space
4:01
Jam that don't come out to like December
4:04
for like 350 and you sitting there like
4:06
man these guys are selling all these
4:07
shoes and they're fake now every time
4:10
I'm selling a shoe people ask me like a
4:11
billion questions I gotta show you my
4:13
emails man are these real and that's the
4:15
problem that we're dealing with the
4:16
trust issues is there so that's one of
4:18
the implication trust issues get
4:20
violated so now we have to go through
4:23
all these Loops just to sell one shoe
4:26
that's one thing second
4:28
thing the companies that are making
4:30
these fakes they contact all the the
4:34
consumer directly through Instagram
4:37
right and they ask them so many
4:38
questions Hey listen we've just made
4:39
these fakes what do you think and the
4:41
consumer in turn show them where to
4:44
change and what to change on the shoe so
4:47
they go ahead and they go and they they
4:49
go back to to the facility and they fix
4:52
it and they get back with a better
4:54
product and it's so hard to tell that
4:57
you're like wow what's going on here the
4:59
consumer actually helps those firms and
5:02
guess what they are using Hightech
5:05
costly machines to make this you see
5:08
right used to be just Manpower now
5:10
they're using sophisticated machines I'm
5:12
sure those machines cost them millions
5:14
so this fake industry now is like a
5:16
million dollar industry so they're
5:18
getting bigger they're getting bigger
5:20
and what that means is for guys like me
5:22
and Chris from from art CBB we sell on
5:26
Amazon right and Amazon just did what
5:28
you call the brand gating so they
5:31
literally shut down a bunch of third
5:34
Merchant third party merchants on Amazon
5:37
they baned them from selling um Air
5:40
Jordans and Adidas and Nike shoes why
5:43
because there are too many counterfeits
5:46
on Amazon so the problem is a guy like
5:49
me can no longer sell Air Jordan shoes
5:53
or Nike shoes or Adidas shoes on Amazon
5:56
because there are so many fixs that Nike
5:59
and Eric Jordan told Amazon listen you
6:02
need to take those shoes off your
6:05
platform from guys that are like
6:07
thirdparty
6:08
Merchant unless I have a license I
6:11
cannot sell those shoes anymore on
6:13
Amazon and what that means is guys like
6:16
Jimmy ja or DTLR or any other store that
6:18
has a a license to sell those those
6:21
product on Amazon are now going to
6:23
control the price so that means if you
6:25
trying to go on Amazon and buy a product
6:27
you're going to pay a whole lot more
6:28
money because now these companies have
6:30
Monopoly so they control the prices so
6:33
they can increase it whenever they want
6:35
and they can't fight they can't there's
6:37
not there's not U what I say the term is
6:39
uh the competition is kind of dead so
6:42
now you can't buy a pair of Sho for like
6:45
150 anymore because Jimmy Jack is the
6:47
only one that has it so they're willing
6:48
to like put it up to like 250 now I
6:51
can't sell it anymore because I don't
6:52
have a LIC to sell those so that's those
6:55
are the implications for us as a
6:57
resellers now we can no longer offer you
7:00
guys buyers better uh prices so if you
7:05
don't think that's like affecting you
7:07
it's indirectly affecting you because
7:08
now you have to go ahead and pay a lot
7:10
more money for your stuff and I'm sure
7:12
eBay is going to follow suit they're
7:14
going to do the same thing it's going to
7:15
be so hard for third party Merchants to
7:17
sell uh Air Jordan shoes because there's
7:20
so many fakes now to me for me is like
7:23
this man if this compan is in China if
7:26
you going to make spend so much money
7:28
into Tech Machine to make this why don't
7:31
you just come out with your own brain
7:32
you might as well you have the
7:34
technology you can do something similar
7:36
but guess what
7:38
because brand name sells that's what
7:40
people want to people want right and a
7:42
lot of people would tell me ask a kick
7:44
man I don't give a damn the shoe looks
7:45
good it feels good I wear it I don't
7:47
care why do you care so much I told you
7:51
why it's too many fixs on the market I'm
7:54
sure somewhere somehow you have some fix
7:56
shes in your closet and that's what
7:58
happens man
8:00
is it's a big problem it's going to be
8:02
even worse in the future because these
8:04
companies are getting better and they're
8:05
using sophisticated machines to make
8:07
this fix you see what I'm saying I'm not
8:10
trying to talk too much but I'm just
8:11
trying to tell you this is dangerous man
8:14
this is really dangerous all right
8:16
that's all I got to say today so I hope
8:17
you enjoy this stay tuned for more stuff

this is House of
