Yeezy V2 Bred Retail vs KO Comparison
Hey RepFam,
So as this is my first Rep, I wanted to provide a comparison between my Retail V2 Breds and the KOs which I purchased from Weng. Please note that the Retail versions are a size 10.5 US and the KO are 11.5 US. Please keep that in mind as the sizes are clearly different
Before starting on the product:
Feedback on Weng 9/10 This is my first ever Rep so I didn't know what to expect from the whole experience. Weng was honestly great!! I definitely recommend to all. He was very responsive (each time within 24 Hours) however he is a very straight to the point person, which can be viewed as a good thing (Just imagine how busy he is answering each person's million questions and QCs). You get a direct answer without any fluff. He answered all I asked during the process and was very supportive. I paid Western Union and not once was I worried with him. He gets a 10/10 referral confidence from me!
Box Condition 5/10 You can tell from the images clearly that the KO box came in a disheveled condition. I tried to have it double boxed but apparently with DHL and Aramex, Weng isn't able to (at least that was what I was informed).
Shoe Quality 9/10 The Quality of the shoe itself feels very premium and the Primeknit very soft yet thick. Great Product for a Rep and definitely does not feel of a lower quality than the Retail at all
Comfort 7 or 8/10 This is my first Rep so all I have to compare to is how my NMDs and Retail Yeezy's feel So while they are still comfy, there is a noticeable difference between the support of the BASF boost on the Retails versus the Real Boost on the KO. The KO is slightly stiffer. They are not bad in any means and the scoring of a 7 or 8 is simply in comparison to a 10 being Retail Yeezys. As a standalone or for those without Retail Boosts to compare with, they are great and extremely comfortable to wear. But to say the feel the same would not be accurate
For my first Rep I was very impressed. While I might stock my Retails, I might also end up selling them. My comparison comments are located within the link below however while I highlight variances, IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TELL ON FOOT. I wanted to show and highlight the differences but by no means do I feel these shoes are calloutable on foot. An amazing product that looks great, even when compared to Retail.
Hope this helps give you guys some aspect of comparison. If you have any questions or need any additional images, let me know!
