First off, lemme just say, the Dior B22 is a statement piece. No doubt. That chunky dad shoe vibe? People are still digging it. But, uh, that retail price? Ouch. Hence, the reps.
Now, finding good Dior B22 reps is a mission. Straight up. You can’t just waltz into any old corner store and expect to find a fire pair. You gotta do your homework. I’ve seen some that are just…tragic. Like, the shape is off, the colors are janky, and the materials? Don’t even get me started. We’re talkin’ plastic pretending to be leather levels of sad.
But, BUT! There are some decent sellers out there. I’ve seen peeps online raving about Robinway for example. Apparently, their B22s are pretty on point. And Koala? Yeah, their black B22s get a lot of love in the rep community too. They say the flaws are minimal. I mean, nobody’s gonna get down on their hands and knees with a magnifying glass, right? Unless they’re *really* sus, then maybe.
Thing is, it’s all about the details. Like, the 3M reflective bits gotta *actually* reflect. The stitching has to be clean. The overall shape needs to be right. That’s what separates the, uh, “okay, I guess” reps from the “holy crap, are those real?!” reps.
And the price? Expect to pay a decent chunk of change. Like, a good rep isn’t gonna cost you $30. You’re still looking at, like, a hundred-ish, maybe more. But hey, still a steal compared to the real deal, right? Just uh, do your research, peep the pics, and read the reviews. Don’t just blindly trust some random link.
Honestly? Sometimes I wonder, is it even worth it? I mean, are people *really* gonna notice? Probably not. Most people are too busy staring at their phones to even notice your shoes. But if *you* know they’re reps, and it bothers you…then maybe just save up for the real thing. Or just rock some other fire sneakers that *aren’t* trying to be something they’re not. Ya feel me?
