First off, lemme say this: buying fakes is kinda ethically gray. Like, is it supporting shady practices? Probably. But hey, times are tough, and sometimes you just gotta rep that Yeezy aesthetic without actually being able to afford a Yeezy. No judgement here (much).
Now, where to find ’em? Well, forget StockX if you’re lookin’ for the *ahem* *alternative* market. They’re cracking down, supposedly. And honestly, online can be a minefield. You never know what kinda garbage you’re gonna get.
The real OG move? Shenzhen. Yeah, I know, not *technically* Hong Kong, but seriously, it’s like an hour on the MTR. Louhu Commercial City, fam. That’s the spot. A legit jungle of… let’s just say “inspired” designs. I’ve heard stories, man. Stories of Air Jordans morphing into Air Jor-duds (okay, I made that up, but you get the idea). Be prepared to haggle like your life depends on it, though. Prices are definitely negotiable, and lowballing is an art form there.
Someone mentioned outlet malls. Yeah, you *might* get lucky and find some discounted legit gear. But don’t go expecting Yeezys for HKD$500. That’s just not gonna happen. You’re better off looking into brand outlets in North Point, Kwun Tong, and Heng Fa Chuen. Tung Chung is the best bet, though.
And speaking of online, I saw someone mention The Hong Kong Jordan Suppliers (urbanhotlist.com). Apparently, they’re upfront about selling replicas. Which, I guess, is… something? I’m not personally vouching for them, mind you. Do your research, check reviews (if they even exist), and be prepared for the possibility of disappointment. I mean, it’s the internet, after all.
