Some subreddits prioritize low price over better quality, while some think any expensive rep is a good rep. I no longer recommend using r/fashionreps, r/repsneakers, or r/sneakerreps as these groups are poorly organized, overrun with sellers that pay the moderators to be advertised, rebranded batches leading to confusion and misinformation, and fake seller accounts that pose as buyers with QC posts or comment GL on their own products.īe aware of biases each subreddit may have. These users are reputable, knowledgeable group members, and are easy to spot. In my subreddit, members I personally trust because of their knowledge and expertise have a special flair, which distinguishes them from other members in the community. These are typically in-depth QCs with references to support their comments, and not "fire emoji" or "GL" without an explanation - those commenters are not helpful. Prioritize QC comments from people that seem to know what they're talking about. Review Replica vs Retail comparisons and QC posts, reading the QC comments. If I am looking for LJR Off White Chicagos, I might try searching: "LJR OW Chicago," "LJR Off White Chicago," "LJR OW," "LJR Chi," etc. I like searching different variations of the shoe name. Step 2: Search for QCs for the shoe you want on r/repweidiansneakers, r/repbudgetsneakers, or r/TheWorldOfRepsneakers. Step 1: Decide what shoe you'd like to buy. Your buying process should go as follows: Guide: Basic, Commonly Used Rep Terms Defined "How do I get started?" Links to Existing Guides (Off-White Blazers, TS1s, Union 1s).“In your opinion, what’s the best batch?”.Basic, Commonly Used Rep Terms (Batch, QC, GL, RL, etc).In 20, middlemen are bait and switching more than ever - I recommend putting in the work and learning to use an agent, and buying off Weidian. Luckily, most Weidian sellers tend to be much more transparent than the sellers that pay to be advertised on the trusted seller's list of corrupt rep subreddits like repsneakers or sneakerreps, so it can be safer to purchase through an agent. Our main goal is always to figure out what batch we are looking at, so that we can then find it for the best price, whether that be from a middleman, or using an agent like WeGoBuy. It's like buying Pepsi from Target vs Walmart - they're the same thing. They carry the same batches as everyone else. No, Muks isn't the best for Jordan 1s, nor is Yang the best for 4s, nor Mango the best for Jordan 11s. Therefore, taking the information above, no one seller is the "best seller for X shoe" if they carry the same exact batch as everyone else. Whether you buy LJR Batch from X seller, Y seller, or on Weidian using an agent, it is the same exact product. You can see another well-respected QCer's thoughts on this here. Some sellers are transparent and sell LJR Batch as LJR Batch, while others like Muks try to say they have "Tier 1 Batch," which is just LJR Batch relabeled/rebranded ( original post discovering this now over 3 years ago) in order to seem like they have an exclusive product. A batch is the same exact shoe, regardless of which Weidian seller or middleman you purchase it from. This occurrence is extremely rare and 99.9% of the time, not the case, despite what some sellers may claim. What matters is batch, NOT seller, unless the seller is truly making their own batch or has exclusive rights to a factory's production.

I hope that you will use the methodology of this Batch Guide rather than just my recommendations in order to help you make informed choices, even for shoes not on this list. Because of this, it is difficult to keep this Batch Guide 100% up to date. There are numerous batches on the market, with more popping up each week. The replica landscape has changed vastly since the first iteration of this guide over 2 years ago. A guide highlighting all of my own personal research that has helped me build this collection.
