- Y'all cat-fished me for real.
(laughing) I was about to say that.
(upbeat music)
- Yo Johnny.
- Hi Troy.
- Hi I'm Troy and these are my Jimmy Choo shoes.
So these are Jimmy Choos.
- Are they really?
- Yeah, of course they are.
Got 'em few months ago at Neiman Marcus,
in Providence, Rhode Island.
Saw 'em in a magazine and I was like,
"you know what, I wanna get these."
- No!
(laughing)
Sorry though these aren't real - Look at that
they're all soft (laughing).
- Well first of all, I don't even think these are leather.
(laughing)
- Don't play me Johnny.
- What?
Oh they're for real?
Oh you bought them?
How much did you spend on these?
If you can say.
- About 600. - 600?
- Did I get played?
- Where did you get them from?
- Neiman Marcus.
- Neiman Marcus? - Yeah.
- Okay.
- Think I spelled it right.
- Is there a reason why they're not bright?
Can I, no sorry I can't do that right?
- What, take the tape?
- Yeah. - [Both] No, no.
- No, you can't give it away, you know (laughing).
- Well okay.
Well there's no sign of it saying like
what part of the shoe is leather.
So it doesn't say like, leather upper,
leather sole. - Should I go get
my money back?
- I would but you've already worn these.
- Dancing the night away in 'em.
- Really?
I don't know, it just doesn't feel good.
It doesn't feel like a $600 shoe.
Like if I were to sell this to someone,
I'd be like, no.
If it's a $600 shoe and it's made out of this material
you'd expect it to be a little bit more supple.
The velvet, it doesn't have a good shine.
It looks cheap.
Again, this is plastic, it's awful.
And then these.
Like the studs, if it was a $600 shoe,
actually I don't believe that you-
Did you buy these on sale?
(laughing)
because if it had studs, if it had leather studs
then it would be like a $1300 shoe.
- That's what I get for trying to be fancy.
- What year did you buy these in?
- 2019, like a few months ago.
- No!
The trend is over, so you got-
- No way!
- It is.
Yeah, this was like in-
- It's coming back! - No it's not, no.
It left for a reason.
(laughing)
I mean (sigh), what like the tassels and studs.
Oh and the hard-
Sorry, I just noticed-
- He's just picking these apart.
- But you have to, these are $600 shoes.
The metal on these is awful.
It's hollow, there's no weight.
- Gotta go find that receipt.
- Yeah please do, I highly doubt,
right, the receipts.
- [Tony] All right. - Fake.
(slapping sound)
- My name is Omar.
These are my Adidas Yeezy 350 V2s
in the cream color way.
Also known as triple whites.
- Damn, okay.
So I have to be honest.
- Yeah.
- Well it has a "made in China"
but I mean, Yeezy is made in China.
- Yeah Yeezys are usually made in China,
for the most part.
- Yeah Guangzhou, that's the shoe manufacturing
district in China.
- Yeah, I got these for 220.
I think they resell for about 300.
- Really? - And the back story is
I got 'em on,
I got an email from Yeezy Supply.
I ordered them online.
- I believe that.
I mean they feel cheap but they are cheap.
(laughing)
So,
- Relatively, yeah.
- Yeah I think,
I think these are real.
It's not my forte, I would like,
do more dress shoes and actual luxury.
If these were left out in the sun they would melt.
- That's how I dry them, so,
- Really?
- Yeah, they've probably just been,
Getting worse and worse.
- No it's fine, they've kept up, surprisingly.
I mean, yeah okay, so you're still spending
$300 on shoes right.
I mean if you were to resell them,
you'd get your money back, you'd get your 220.
With that said, it does feel like a $200 shoe,
it does feel like a $300 shoe
and if you consider the mark-up on these,
then Yeezy also profited.
Cause these shoes are probably costing like,
I don't know, $10 to make.
So I believe these are like,
They're marketed as a luxury shoe so I think
that the price correlates with the quality
which isn't the best quality
but it's deceiving enough.
They're real, yeah I'm gonna chance this
and I'm gonna, you know.
(slapping sound)
Okay so what's the story on these?
- So these are just a classic pair of Manolo Blahnik
pumps for work, for everyday.
Had 'em for a few years.
Just decided to invest in like a nice pump
so I don't have to keep re-buying them
- Yeah good. - Every year.
They're like super worn, you know.
- A good investment, I think.
Wait how much did you pay for these?
- Like 670, something.
- Mm, you're right, like I think spending
a little bit more money on these certain items
so that you don't have to keep on buying them,
is an amazing decision.
We're so wasteful with fashion
it makes sense to only buy one and have it for a long time
and it looks like you've used these
and they also look like they've been
resoled at the tip.
But, I just, I mean, I don't know about these though.
They just don't feel, you said $600?
- Mhm
- But they don't feel like $600 shoes.
When did you buy these?
- Maybe like two years ago.
- All right, I mean it stands nicely.
Doesn't feel good though.
Whatever material this is supposed to be,
isn't really giving that texture.
I don't know, I'm on the fence.
Would you buy these again?
- Would I buy those agan, yes.
- I don't know, I don't know.
I don't like 'em.
Sorry, sorry no I'm saying.
- No it's okay be honest.
- Not that I don't particularly like your style or them.
I just, there's something about them
I'm not buying it, literally.
I think they're fake.
But the thing is that like fashion has
gotten so crazy with the way that
things are expected to be delivered
to these stores that they're just
really like producing anything now.
They're also black basic pumps so it's like
Why would you fake it?
- That's how my mom picks out fruit.
- Really?
You tap it.
(laughing)
With metal for example, like the hardware on the Jimmy Choos
- Jimmy Choos, - You gotta stop
roasting my shoes.
(laughing)
- It's supposed to be heavy,
it's supposed to sound like a solid.
I'm gonna say fake just based on the quality
and I could be wrong without, can say they're half,
Can I be on the fence about 'em'.
Okay. I'm just gonna say they're fake.
Final verdict is fake.
(Slapping Sound)
You're Valentino?
- Hi, my name is Caryn
and these are my Valentino pumps.
They're cute, I know.
- Yeah, I think these are real.
- They better be.
- No they're definitely real.
Okay, when'd you buy these?
- Only like a couple years ago.
I used to live in New York and so
It's like my great shame, these shoes.
Kind of, but it's fine.
- Why?
- Cause I spent too much money on them.
My mom's gonna watch this video.
- Well good for you, cause these are actually,
they're still on trend.
- Can you tell my mom that, too?
- She made a god buy, mother.
- Thank you!
Thank you, I think they still look cute, honestly.
- Yeah, I think you should definitely wear them,
it looks like you haven't worn these.
- Oh, cause I'm too scared.
- Why? - I worn em', okay.
- Cause you can't walk in them?
- No, Cause it's too expensive.
- No!
But that's the point.
- I know, I know.
But every time I wear them, I'm like they're degrading.
- But the thing is, they're gonna degrade regardless.
All materials degrade over time.
- Right.
- So you might as well enjoy them
while you're alive, still.
- Well, I'll just pass these down, the generations.
- Yeah, that's another thing.
In 20 years, these will be 'vintage', you know.
- I just got to wait it out.
- You do.
(laughing)
I hope these are real and I'm not like-
- Talking about-
- Yeah like "ooh they're great,"
(laughing)
The patent leather is good, it doesn't feel cheap.
The studs, better than the-
- Than the Jimmy Choo. - Than the Jimmy Choo.
(laughing)
I don't know actually looking at the studs,
oh what is this?
- Ooh
- Why is there a stamp here?
It says LX824.
- I don't really know.
- No, I know.
(laughing)
No, sorry! - I can't answer you!
- No, I know.
- These are my fanciest pair of shoes.
- Really?
That stamp is weird man.
- Is it?
- Yeah, usually hardware is stamped to mark authenticity.
If you look at your jewelry, if you're ever buying
like a Dior piece it'll have a stamp.
So those are usually why
the houses stamp the jewelry, but shoes?
I've never seen a stamp on a shoe.
Like on hardware on shoes.
They feel good though.
If they're fake, and look this stud is,
it's loose and based on where,
this shouldn't be happening.
Yeah sorry, I think these are fake.
They're good fakes though but that stamp
just weirds me out.
It creeps me out.
- Okay, yeah.
- Yeah they're fake, they're fake.
You had me fooled.
God am I gonna be embarrassed now?
(laughing)
(slapping sound)
We'll see I don't know, I could be wrong,
I could be right.
I'm hoping I'm right.
- These are fake.
- Okay. - Fake as all hell.
- Good.
- I would never spend $600 on shoes so.
- These Yeezys are real.
- Okay, I knew it.
You sounded legit.
You didn't (laughing).
- These are real.
These are Minolos.
I got them from Barneys.
- These shoes are fake.
- Ah Okay.
- I thought I had you for the first half.
- No!
The studs are falling off!
- Dang it!
- All right, I tried my best.
- You did great, yeah.
- You did really good.
- If it was in school,
if it was a test in school you would have passed.
- Y'all cat-fished me for real
(laughing) I was about to say that.
