For some context - I came across this *very good* pair of AJ4 Off-White reps and looked up the website on the hangtag...it had a whole lot of information and, had I not known any better, I'd probably be sold on the story they tellin.
So that's the thing...If you have a couple of minutes to read this (3 slides), it's interesting in it's directness. IMO, we have all heard this stuff before. And...how many people can tell this same story before we start accepting the fact that it's really likely just the same story being told by everyone?
IMO...It should put that whole 'gray market' argument to rest. This should no longer be something to 'fall back on.' If a site sells reps, they're most likely reps. They're not 'backdoored from the factory, they're just reps.'
