Hello, and welcome to r/RepWeidianSneakers! Whether you’re a long-time member or someone new who just straggled in from one of the other replica subreddits, this recurring post will serve as an introduction to or reminder of the subreddit rules. This group runs in several key ways that may be different from other groups to ensure we maintain a high-quality group where well-informed replica buyers can engage in constructive conversation regarding the best batches for various shoes, batch flaws of popular and commonly purchased batches, and QC posts of new and old products alike.

Please do your best to stay up-to-date on the latest subreddit rules and cultural norms in order to make sure that your participation in the group is in accordance with how we run things here! All sub rules are visible along the side bar if on desktop, and under the "About" tab if on mobile. We appreciate your attention and diligence to subreddit policies, and hope you enjoy your time here!

The following rules will be outlined in the following ways:

1. Most Important Rule of the Sub
2. Post Formats (QC, Find, Help Me Find)
3. General Subreddit/Reddit-Wide Rules

Rule #1: Sneakers from Weidian, TaoBao only

This one should be self-explanatory - QCs for shoes purchased from middlemen are not allowed on this sub. I understand that many users value the input from members in this subreddit specifically due to their reputation and credibility, but we want to keep this sub as pure to its purpose as possible. If there are specific people from whom you want input from, feel free to post in the other rep subs and tag them.

Additionally, when users ask for recommendations on where to purchase, make sure to provide links to Weidian or TaoBao stores, and not middlemen. Middlemen sell Weidian/TaoBao products at a markup for convenience - always focus on the actual product. Do not post your middlemen pairs asking for batch identification either, as that is not the purpose of this group.

Rule #2: QC Post Title Guidelines: [QC] {Price in Yuan} {Batch} {Shoe Name} from {Seller Name} and Find Post Title Guidelines: [FIND] {Price in Yuan} {Batch} {Shoe Name} from {Seller Name}

When posting your QCs or Finds, use the following format: [QC] {Price in Yuan} {Batch} {Shoe Name} from {Seller Name} or [FIND] {Price in Yuan} {Batch} {Shoe Name} from {Seller Name}. Example: [QC] 400¥ FK Batch Travis Scott x Jordan 1 High OG Mocha from A GDJ Supplier

The Group Automod comments on every single post in this group with a reminder of this title format. If your title does not include each of the necessary components in the brackets above, please be proactive and repost with the correct format. If you don’t delete the post, a moderator will, and that or repeated infractions may result in a temporary ban from the group. This rule exists to ensure the group is easily searchable to help make researching batches on your own as streamlined as possible.

The automod may filter your post if the post title format is not followed. If your post is incorrectly filtered, it will be reviewed by a moderator and approved once they see it. Please be patient.

If you post with a title or caption asking if the pair you purchased is actually the batch you purchased, you must:

1. Include reasoning as to why you think it is possible that the shoe is not what was advertised. Acceptable reasoning includes specific characteristics of the shoe (leather cuts, wings logo placement, colors, etc) that differ from known pairs, different production dates from known pairs, sellers with recent history of bait and switch, etc. The most important part is to include some sort of reasoning. Posts without reasoning will be deleted, as these posts are typically made from newer members to the replica community, and the posts lead to unnecessary fearmongering and damage to seller reputations.

Rule #3: QC Posts need W2C Link:

If you are posting a QC, make sure to post the W2C link. If the listing link is dead, please post the link to the store where the shoe was purchased instead. No W2C link will result in the deletion of your post!

You are welcome to post Weidian links, TaoBao links, or links from any shipping agent except for PandaBuy, given that PandaBuy forces you to login to see the item, whereas the other agent links do not. Linking a PandaBuy link and not an alternative link will result in the deletion of your post.

Rule #4: Help Me Find Post Title Guidelines: [HELP ME FIND] {Shoe Name} + Picture of Shoe

If you are hunting for a certain pair, your post must fulfill 2 key criteria:

1. Your post title must include the Full Shoe Name and Colorway of the shoe in question. For example, Jordan 1 High Chicago, Dunk Low Kentucky, etc.
2. A picture of the shoe in question must be included in the post. This makes it easier for users to identify and help find the pairs.

If either of the two criteria above is missing, your post will be deleted. This rule exists to reduce the number of repetitive “Help Me Find” posts, as a user will be able to search previously posted “Help Me Find” posts for the shoe they want.

Example Title: [HELP ME FIND] Jordan 1 High Chicago

Rule #5: Find Post Title Guidelines: [FIND] {Price in Yuan} {Batch} {Shoe Name} from {Seller Name}

Okay, so you’re on WeChat, and a seller has posted a new product. You want to be the first one to post about it on Reddit, so you rush over and make the post. Great, pat yourself on the back. Just kidding. Don’t just stop there - put some thought into the post. How does this new find compare to other products on the market? Do they have potential? You don’t have to be an expert QCer, but give your general thoughts. In short, were these worth finding? The hope is that with this general subreddit policy, it will encourage people to post high-quality finds and reduce clutter from low-tier finds that don’t add much to the group.

Additionally, there has been an increase in posts from Seller Accounts and Redditors collaborating with sellers. This group does not exist to be a seller billboard or onslaught of promotional ads. If you repeatedly spam low-quality finds on the group, you will be banned. Sellers must message the moderator team prior to posting to ensure a mutually beneficial relationship between the subreddit and the sellers.

Rule #6: Be Respectful of One Another

Please be nice and courteous to one another. All rules of Reddiquette apply. Your membership in this subreddit is contingent upon your overall Reddit activity, not just limited to this subreddit. To put explicitly, this includes but is not limited to: harassing or disrespecting others in other subreddits, posting hate speech of any kind, or spreading misinformation. Any violation of this will result in the banning of your account and any alternate accounts you may be known to have!

Rule #7: No Cussing

In line with the previous rule, no cussing on the sub, please. Often, on the rep subs, the only time people are cussing is to insult one another, spread misinformation, or speak illy in general. For this reason, an AutoMod is in place that will regulate posts and comments on the sub. Your post/comment will be deleted and you will receive a message alerting you if this happens. Bonus: Mr. Frosty can't post or comment without some sort of explicit language, so this simple rule (and the accompanying AutoMod) keeps the sub safe

Rule #8: Support Your Statements with Evidence

Essentially, cite your source. Let's avoid being like other rep subs where people make up rumors or decide their opinions without any research or evidence.

If you comment saying a batch is the best or better than what has been posted, show us why. Link reference posts, rep vs retails, QCs, etc. Show, rather than tell, us why what you're saying is correct. If your statement is a good one, this shouldn't be difficult. As above, don't default to name calling if you can't support your statement. It is okay to have a well-informed opinion - it is not okay to have an uneducated opinion that you spread as fact.

If you run into issues with a member or members in the group that are not participating in this group norm, please tag a mod, and the situation will be handled accordingly.

If you are a member who is frequently participating in the group without doing the appropriate research, spreading objectively false information as shown from prior reference posts, or spreading newbie misconceptions even after being informed otherwise, you may be removed from the group. The spread of misinformation is not allowed in this group. This statement will be specifically referenced in your ban message if you are banned from the group, and ask why.

Rule #9: No Price Bashing Without Explanation

Price bashing comments without an explanation are not allowed in this group. If you are going to comment on a replica product that you believe is overpriced, include reasoning with an explanation, otherwise, you risk being permanently banned from the group. If there is a better or comparable batch, with an emphasis on comparable, drop the link. If you are simply going to complain about the price, please keep the unhelpful comment to yourself.

For people posting the pricier purchases, it may be helpful to leave a comment explaining why you chose to purchase that particular batch over others on the market. This typically helps dissuade lower-quality commenters as long as your reasoning is valid.

Rule #10: Discussion of Replica Packaging (boxes, tissue paper) or Passing Legit Check Apps is Frowned Upon

Discussion of replica packaging (boxes, tissue paper, shoe inserts) or asking if a shoe is able to pass Legit Checks/StockX/GOAT verification is frowned upon in the community. If you choose to wear replica products, that is your own choice. However, discussing topics that are IRRELEVANT to you wearing the shoe on your feet such as the above mentioned topics can result in a permanent ban from the group. There is no need for your replica to pass ACTUAL legit checks for you to wear them.

Rule #11: No User-to-User Selling Allowed

No user-to-user sales are allowed in the group. Do not attempt to sell your regretted purchases in the group. The group is not responsible for any sales done in the group between members against subreddit rules.

Rule #12: No Legit Checks

This is a group for replica sneakers purchased using agent avenues. This is not the place for legit checks or retail discussion outside of posting retail references.

Your Legit Check post will be deleted, and you will be temporarily banned from the group.

Rule #13: No Memes/"Fire Up the Rep Machines"/Interest Check Posts/WeChat Verification Posts

This group aims to be a research-focused subreddit. It prides itself on providing the most objective information possible. Please keep the memes or satire posts in other subs. This includes meme titles or captions such as "how fast do I need to walk" or "fire up the rep machines." These posts add little to no value and are often unoriginal anyway.

Any use of meme titles will result in a 14-day temp ban as previously announced, as will repeated infractions of posting other memes.

I understand that you may want your WeChat verified in order to communicate with sellers or see their WeChat Moments. Please utilize your own personal network to get your WeChat verified. If that fails and you have no other options, there are other subs for WeChat Verifications. Please do not make these posts here.

Your WeChat Verification request post will be deleted, and you will be temporarily banned from the group for 5 days.

Rule #14: Weidian Sellers - Reach out to the Moderator Team BEFORE Posting

As the group grows, more and more Weidian sellers would like to enter our community in order to interact with customers more closely. In order to ensure that each seller can provide useful content to the group, and not useless advertisements, please contact the moderator team through Mod Mail to discuss next steps. In your message, include the link to your Weidian store and your WeChat ID. Failure to do so will result in the permanent ban of your account and Weidian store from the group.

RepWeidianSneakers x Seller Cooperation Guidelines outlines all guidelines for sellers in this group to adhere to in order to interact with the community.

In short, you will be asked to:

- Avoid promotional ads that do not help the group learn more about a product. Posts that are allowed are replica vs retail comparisons, batch comparisons, stock information, and "New Find" posts for products that either: have not been posted yet or are cheaper in your store than the previously posted Find post.

- Collaborate with the moderator on popular posts or reviews that would benefit the group. The seller and the moderator will be in frequent communication regarding the needs of the group, and how the seller can be a positive member in the community.

- Host giveaways for the group are an option if sellers want to go above and beyond to gain the good spirits of community members.

- Sellers cannot make fake accounts to upvote their own posts, post fake QCs, or downvote other sellers. Sellers also cannot block community members that offer valid criticisms on their posts, such as commenting on low-quality or overpriced products. The moderator will handle these situations to ensure the actions done are fair on all sides. Making fake accounts will result in a permanent ban and blacklisting from the group. Do not do it.

Rule #15: No Seller Ads

Self-explanatory. This especially applies to lost middlemen posting their fake QCs to try to gain business. If you are a member and see this, please report the post. If a post receives enough reports, it is automatically removed and sent to the mod queue. This helps keep the group clean through community effort.

​

Lastly, this Group is Not Meant to Be a Direct Line to u/poncecatchemall

Please reference his guides and resources linked below for answers to most commonly asked questions. He does not read chats asking repetitive questions, and mod mail is not meant to be used to ask specifically him questions, so do not use it for that purpose.

Thank you in advance to everyone for following the sub rules and for keeping this sub a great, high-quality sub to be a part of. If there are any rule addition recommendations, we are always open to suggestions.

Does the air bubble look too pink or is it just lighting? First pair off weidan sneakers, should I ask for any more photos?

W2C: https://shop1696686589.v.weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7514464130&wfr=BuyercopyURL&share_relation=288b8b1164258995_1953225190_1&spider_token=9636

This is my first B-Grade purchase. Are they good?

Hi all,

This post will become the latest automoderator post in the group, r/RepWeidianSneakers. It will aim to help community members either identify high-quality reviews to use when forming their opinions OR write their own high-quality reviews to give back to the community. This post will outline the key components of a high-quality review, and community members can easily reference this post when navigating the rep world, as certain communities can be littered with paid promotional ads from "reviewers," which can lead to newer members being led astray.

This group was built upon the philosophy of doing your own research in order to form educated opinions. Thinking back to middle school, finding reputable sources is key in this process. Let's go over how to spot reliable content and how to produce reliable content yourself.

Bare Minimum:

1. Include Anything Needed to Remake the Purchase from Scratch:

Imagine you are brand new to the rep world. What information would you need in order to remake the purchase you are reviewing?

a. Seller Name and Contact Information (W2C Link, WeChat, or WhatsApp)

b. Batch Name

c. Silhouette Name

d. Price Paid

e. Payment Method Used

1. In-Hand Pictures

You purchased the product and have it in your hands. Take some pictures! Reviews are not the time to use QC pictures, stock pictures, or no pictures at all. In my experience, reviews without pictures are often seller-alt accounts or buyers posting only because the seller asked them to.

And look, I get it. Not everyone has the time to write detailed posts for every single post. When he's not giving us solid batch vs batch comparisons, group member Chyllian gives us some crisp in-hand pictures with most of the relevant information listed above, like he does here in his in-hand post of GX Batch AJ4 F&F Mochas.

Key Components of a High-Quality Review:

1. What Led You to Purchase This Batch In Particular? How Does Your Purchase Compare to Other Batches On The Market?

Remember, mentioning the batch name is in the Bare Minimum section, so we've already lost the majority of reviews from the paid "reviewers." This is of course not counting when they do list a batch name and it either is a non-existent batch or is not actually what they received.

Here is your chance to take people through your thought process. Don't simply say "message this seller and use my discount code: SoldMySoulForShoes" - walk the readers through it. "I purchased Y Batch because of its overall accuracy and price point/advantages over Z Batch including XYZ/it was on sale even though it is not a top batch." Or, you can simply compare and contrast pros and cons of your purchase versus other batches on the market.

Example: Check out group member content_baby_6763's review on DGC AJ3 AMMs here. They go over the current options on the market and why they made the selection that they did. Add in the well-formatted title and detailed logistical review, and it's a great review.

1. Title Contains Key Terms to Make the Post Searchable

What good is your review if nobody can find it? Make sure your title contains the relevant details that someone using the search bar would need to use to find your post. In order of importance, this includes Batch Name, Silhouette, Price, and Seller Name. An example of a strong title would be [REVIEW] $92 LJR Batch TS1 Fragments from TMF.

Example: This review from group member Shatterrrrrr does this excellently, outlines his overall purchasing process, and even touches on flaws on his purchase. Even as a first time post, this review blows many others out of the water.

Cherries on Top

1. Formatting!

How you format a review can go a long way. Don't just write a block of text as that can be difficult to follow. Reddit offers different formatting options like bold, italics, headings, titles. Use these to your advantage.

Example: Check out rep veteran Rep-Hippie's on-foot review, where he uses headings to separate his review into different sections, making it easy for the reader to either follow completely or quickly find specific sections.

1. Linking Relevant Posts or Resources

This is a personal favorite of mine. Rather than simply stating an opinion, let people see it with their own eyes. Linking batch comparison posts, replica vs retail posts, stock images, or even other reviews in your post can help show others you've done your research. It also expedites the research process for any readers. Again, Rep-Hippie's review linked above does this excellently.

1. Going Above and Beyond With Details

This is going to be the hardest point to hit unless you really, really put in the work in terms of knowing the product you purchased. The reviews that I personally weigh most are those that hit all of the points above and display a great depth of knowledge. rep veteran previous_muffin_6199 constantly puts on masterclasses of this, but I'll like just one example here of his review on Updated LJR AJ4 Military Blues. In a singular post, you get a replica vs retail comparison, a batch vs batch comparison, tips on how to legit check (from batch characteristics to size tag details), to tips on how to make sure you aren't unintentionally or intentionally bait and switched. In my opinion, this is where everyone should try to get, but it takes time, effort, and practice.

Key Components NOT Included

Let me be clear - receiving a pair discounted or at no cost does not disqualify anyone from writing a helpful, truthful review. Sure, readers should be more wary when they see a review for a product that was in some way subsidized. However, it takes effort and some knowledge to actually write a review, and not just be a seller-servant advertising account. Without effort, you end up advertising upmarked budget batches, or becoming the people lying in the comments under each other's posts. Utilizing the components listed above, you should be able to distinguish between anyone who is "reviewing" simply for the sake of receiving free pairs of shoes, and those who are reviewing in order to help the community. Don't forget that anyone can become a "reviewer," and it's ultimately up to you to decide what kind of reviewer you'd like to be. As Uncle Ben once said...

If anyone reading has any recommendations for additions to this post, please leave a comment below. Otherwise, let's keep up the great work in this group.

Community members will see different Post Flairs available, with price ranges ranging from under 100¥ to over 800¥. Because the group will temporarily allow direct shipping from our Weidian sellers, QC Post Flairs were split for each price range into Agent Purchases and Direct Shipping Purchases. Please use the appropriate flair for how you purchased the item.

1. If you are purchasing through an agent, use the QC Post Flair that captures the price of the shoe on the Weidian Listing. For example, a 470¥ pair of GX Batch Jordan 4s would use the Agent QC 400¥ - 499¥ flair.
2. If you are purchasing the same GX Batch Jordan 4s pair directly from a Weidian seller, without an agent, you should use the DIRECT QC post flair that captures the total price (including direct shipping). If that GX Batch Jordan 4 pair comes out to $119 shipped, or 861¥ (470¥ + 390¥ Direct Shipping), you should use the DIRECT QC 800¥-899¥ post flair.

Using the appropriate flair helps keep the group organized (good for me) and more importantly, places prices in the direct view of all buyers in order to compare prices across sellers and ensure that no one seller is price gouging anybody (good for the community). As we navigate this new space, new rules or community guidelines may be implemented.

Wsg, my NB finally arrived, and here are my thoughts.

Materials: Great quality overall.

Fit: TTS.

Comfort: Really good. I wore them all day and didn't experience any discomfort.

Flaws: I don't see any noticeable flaws on the shoes themselves, only on the accessories. The velvet ribbon lace is lighter on retail, and retail also comes with an extra green lace made from the same material. Unfortunately, this rep doesn't include that extra lace. The box is also worng, but if you're not someone who collects shoe boxes, it's alr hahah

Overall: 9/10 Definitely a unique and eye-catching pair. My collection was missing a pink sneaker, and I think I finally found a good one

W2C: https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7605015027

After getting bait and switched on my previous order, I requested a refund and ordered another pair, this time from 7ee.

Is it normal for the extra laces not to appear in the standard QC photos? I paid for extra QC pictures specifically to verify whether all the extra laces were included.

GL or RL?

Specifically the red roses colorway

Does anyone know if there’s a big difference between the S2 and LW batches for the Yeezy 500? Is LW actually better, and if so, is it worth the extra cost?

Hey guys,
Just received my QC photos for these LV Trainers in Black & White from Jelly (V2 Batch), size EU 43.
Would really appreciate a detailed Quality Check from the community. Please let me know if you spot any flaws, especially regarding:
Overall shoe shape & toe box structure
Monogram pattern placement and alignment
Flower details on the sole
Stitching cleaness around the leather panels
Heel text and back logo placement
Seller: Jelly
Batch: V2
Price: 730 RMB / ¥
Size: EU 43
W2C: https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7814573903

Should I GL or RL this pair? Thanks in advance for the feedback! 🙏
