Complex's weekly series Don't Believe the Hype takes a look at what's hot and what's just hot air. Sneakers, clothes, tech, food—nothing is safe. Perhaps no sneaker has been more hyped in 2018 than Sean Wotherspoon's take on the Nike Air Max, with its unique, colorful design. But anytime something gets hyped...the imitators are soon following behind. Sure enough, counterfeit versions of the sneaker have been popping up everywhere, but can you get away with rocking a counterfeit or is paying for the real deal the only way to go? Speedy goes to Complex staffers to see what they think in this episode of "Don't Believe The Hype."

I believe the hype as they are dope looking. that being said, i would never wear them because they don't really fit my style. It's also crazy the level fakes have gotten to at this point. That particular pair seemed obvious from the back tab being different colors, but that aside, the rest of the shoe you really needed the real side by side to notice the differences. It's funny that we live in a world now where fakes are being made with enough quality that in a lot of cases, an average person is not going to know.
