【TK Batch】AirMax Plus Comparison – From RM

For those interested in this model, we haven’t really had a batch that we could confidently recommend, Until TK released this latest version. It is also currently the only batch available in larger sizes.

I borrowed a retail pair from the factory to put together this comparison. Hope it helps! For comparisons of more colorways, please check my Yupoo album. ✌️
Size: 40.5–48.5 (US 7.5–14)

Hi guys, here is the review everyone has been waiting for. I know a lot of people have been asking for a detailed comparison between the TS AJ1 Low Fragment 1.0 retail pair, RSD, LJR and CVW, so I decided to finally write down everything I noticed.

First, I want to make something clear. This is only my personal opinion based on the pairs I had in hand. Nobody paid me to say anything good about any batch and I am not trying to promote anyone. If something looks good, I will say it looks good. If something has problems, I will point them out.

This is not a comparison based on internet pictures or other people's QC photos. I had a real retail pair in hand and compared it directly with the other batches. The retail pair is not exactly cheap, this is a shoe that goes around $1350, so making this comparison is not something you can do every day. I know people like to analyze every single millimeter, but with a shoe like this, small details are what separate a good pair from an average one.

The pairs compared:

Retail = blue tag
RSD = black tag
LJR
CVW

Very important:

Retail is size US 9.5, RSD is size US 9.5 and LJR is size 9.5 . Just to avoid any confusion, all pairs are the exact same size for this comparison.

After comparing everything from every angle, for me RSD is the closest to retail. I am not saying it is a perfect 1:1 because realistically no batch is magically identical to retail, but when you put all four pairs next to each other, RSD has the least differences.

RSD

I will start with the most important thing, the shape.

In my opinion, this is where RSD did the best job. The TS AJ1 Low has a very specific slim shape and many batches miss that part. RSD gets the overall shape much closer. The toebox is not too high or too inflated, the front drops correctly and it gives the same slim look as retail.

When you look at the shoe from the side, RSD looks the most natural. It does not have that chunky appearance that some other batches have.

The swoosh is very close to retail. Especially the reverse swoosh. The shape, placement and size are done very well. It is not only about having the logo there, it is about how it sits on the shoe, and RSD is very close here.

The heel shape is also one of the strongest points. Retail does not have an overly thick heel and RSD follows that pretty well. It does not look bulky and keeps the same clean AJ1 Low appearance.

The blue panel color is very close to retail. It is not too bright and it does not shift into another shade.

The materials are one of the biggest advantages of RSD. The leather has a good grain and the feeling in hand is very close to retail. It does not feel plastic or too smooth.

The stitching is also very well done. RSD stitching is extremely close to retail, especially around the panels and swoosh area. The lines are clean and there are no obvious differences.

The 3M is another area where RSD performs the best. On retail, the 3M is not extremely visible without direct light, but when light hits it, the reflection looks natural. RSD behaves almost the same. The 3M is much closer to retail compared to the other batches.

The smell is also surprisingly close. RSD has that same type of smell you expect from a retail pair. There is no strong glue or chemical smell.

In some photos the lighting can make the midsole look slightly off, but it’s really just the lighting and camera affecting the color. In hand, the midsole color looks right and matches the retail pair. Just to be clear, there isn’t actually a color issue with any batch.

For me, RSD takes the first place.

LJR

LJR is still a very good batch and I would not call it bad at all.

The shape is good, but when you put it directly next to retail you can see it is slightly fuller. The toebox is good, but retail has a slightly cleaner and slimmer front shape.

The swoosh is solid. It is very close, but RSD has a slightly more accurate shape and placement.

The heel is correct, but it is a little more rounded compared to retail.

The materials are good. The leather looks quality and is quite close to retail.

The stitching on LJR is also very good. Honestly, the stitching is very close to retail. It might be slightly thinner compared to RSD, but the quality and placement are very clean.

The 3M on LJR is good. You can see it and it works correctly, but honestly it is not as close as RSD. Retail and RSD have almost the same effect, while LJR has a small difference in how strong the reflection appears.

The biggest difference with LJR is the smell. The typical LJR glue smell is much stronger. It is not something that will stay forever, but when you open the box you notice it immediately.

I would put LJR in second place.

CVW

I will be honest, CVW disappointed me the most.

I know many people have a very high opinion of CVW, but when you have retail next to it, you start noticing things that are not obvious from pictures.

The biggest problem is the shape.

The toebox is too bulky and does not have the same slim look as retail. The front looks more inflated and because of that the whole shoe loses that clean AJ1 Low shape.

The swoosh itself is not terrible, but it is not enough to save the overall shoe. The reverse swoosh does not look as natural as RSD.

The heel is too bulky. The back part looks thicker and does not have the same shape as retail.

The blue color is off. The shade is not the same as retail and the difference becomes obvious when they are placed side by side.

The materials are not terrible when you look at CVW alone, but next to retail there is a clear difference. The leather texture and feeling are not the same as RSD or LJR.

The stitching is also a weaker point. The stitching is not as close to retail and looks less precise compared to RSD and LJR.

The biggest problem with CVW is the 3M.

On retail, the 3M is not supposed to be extremely visible all the time. It appears naturally when light hits it. RSD is almost the same as retail in this area. LJR is also visible and honestly quite good, but not as close as RSD.

On CVW, the 3M is much more visible and does not have the same natural effect as retail. This was one of the first things I noticed.

The tooling code on CVW is also not as clean. It looks slightly crooked and does not have the same precision as retail, RSD and LJR.

When it comes to smell, CVW is actually good. It has a smell closer to retail and does not have the strong glue smell that LJR has.

Final ranking:

1. RSD Closest overall to retail. Best shape, best 3M, stitching, materials and overall feeling.
2. LJR Very good batch. Great stitching and materials, good 3M, but has small differences in shape and smell.
3. CVW Has some good points, but when compared directly with retail it has the most differences. Shape, color, heel and 3M are the biggest issues.

Again, this is only my personal opinion based on what I had in hand. I am not saying everyone has to agree with me. Everyone can choose what they prefer, but after putting retail, RSD, LJR and CVW next to each other, for me RSD is the closest to the real TS AJ1 Low Fragment 1.0 version.

Stock / Restock information

Just to mention something about the RSD TS AJ1 Low Fragment 1.0 stock.

The first batch was extremely limited. Only around 200 pairs were made in the first production, and right now there are only about 30 pairs left in stock.

Because the first batch was much smaller than expected and demand was higher, a restock is already planned. The next RSD Fragment 1.0 restock is expected at the end of this month.

I wanted to mention this because a lot of people have been asking about availability. This review is based on the pair I personally had in hand, so make your decision based on what you prefer.

Imgur album - all photos⁠

PLEASE READ ‼️

Bros, the final sample of the RSD Batch Black Phantom is officially complete.

I already covered the leather color and texture in detail in the previous production update, and the full development history is available in the album, so I won’t repeat everything here.

One important point worth clarifying again: RSD selected the leather based on how Retail pairs look after the surface wax naturally wears off, rather than how the leather looks when brand new with the wax coating still intact.

The final two production details we corrected:

1. HEEL HEIGHT

The previous sample had slightly too much foam padding in the heel, which made the rear collar sit a little higher than Retail.

We reduced the foam padding and adjusted the heel height and rear profile to bring it closer to Retail.

2. RETAIL BACKSTITCHING CONSTRUCTION

At the corner of the lateral Swoosh, Retail uses a very tight three-stitch backtack.

There are also several small internal reinforcement stitches hidden near the eyestay. These details are extremely easy to overlook.

The final RSD sample now reproduces both details to match Retail.

This pair has gone through a long development process with multiple rounds of adjustments. At this point, we believe this is the most complete and refined version we are capable of producing.

For several accessories, including the shoelaces and square black bandana, we are using original components, the same as those supplied with Retail. 🙂

PRE-ORDER & SHIPPING

Due to expected high demand, the release will begin with a pre-order.

The RSD Batch Black Phantom pre-order will also open on our Weidian store at the same time.

Shipping is expected to begin gradually around August 21.

Hi guys, here's something new from GX factory Got both the YS-01 and YS-02 from GX Batch and honestly, both versions look really good in these QC pics.

The overall shape on both looks clean and pretty close to retail. The YS-01 has the more aggressive shark-tooth outsole and thicker, softer-looking build, while the YS-02 has a cleaner and more minimal silhouette with the flatter outsole. The molding looks really clean on both, with no obvious warping or major flaws that I can see.

Material/texture also looks good, especially on the YS-01. The surface has that slightly textured matte finish instead of looking overly smooth or shiny. The edges and transitions around the upper look clean as well.

One important thing: these two GX models are currently only available as samples. They’re expected to be officially released in around 15 days.

💰 GX YS-01 — ¥130
💰 GX YS-02 — ¥150

Honestly, for a pair of basic slides, I think this price is pretty high if we take into account + shipping . I know GX is putting more work into these, but ¥130–150 is still a lot for slides imo. I’d personally want to see some in-hand reviews before paying that much.

The big question is whether GX is actually better than LJR here. From the QC pics, GX looks very good, but I don’t think we can confidently say it’s better until we have proper in-hand comparisons. At this price, that comparison matters even more.

YS-01 is probably the better choice if you want the softer, chunkier feel and more aggressive outsole. YS-02 has a cleaner look and a wider, flatter outsole. Both look solid, but whether they’re worth ¥130–150 is another question.

Overall, GX seems to have done a really good job with these, but personally I think the pricing is a little too high for regular slides. What do you guys think, is GX actually better than LJR for these?

this is my qc to give you a review as soon as i get it in my hands these are not for sale yet these are just for me samples

Hi guys, here’s a slightly different review for you. This time it’s not sneakers but jewelry, so don’t expect some expert-level legit check from me lol. I’m not an expert when it comes to jewelry, bracelets or rings, so I’m just going to share what I see and my personal experience after having these in hand.

I got this set from Rephearts, a ring + bracelet, and honestly I’m pretty happy with it. The first thing I noticed when I picked them up was the weight. They don’t feel light or cheap at all, they have a good weight in hand and they actually feel like proper pieces of jewelry when you wear them.

The details on the ring are probably my favorite part. The engraving is pretty clean, the cross details look well made and the stones/details in the center are nicely placed. I haven’t noticed any major flaws in the workmanship. Same thing with the bracelet, the chain feels solid and the details on the main piece look clean. Wearing them together honestly looks really good.

Both pieces have a 925 stamp. As far as I know, 925 is supposed to indicate sterling silver, but I can’t confirm that the material is actually 925 silver just from the stamp. I’m not going to pretend to be a jewelry expert when I’m not lol.

Overall, I’m very happy with Rephearts so far. This is my first time getting jewelry from him and my first impression is really good. I’m not going to claim they’re 1:1 or that the material is definitely genuine 925 silver without testing it, but in terms of workmanship, details, weight and overall look, I think these are really good.

We’ve recently received a lot of questions about which batch to choose, so here’s a Comparison of LJR today.

Main differences between LJR and Y3:

1. Widows Peak: LJR’s is sharper and more defined.

2. Heel Shape: LJR has a narrower heel shape, while Y3 is slightly wider.

3. “23” Embroidery: The 2 retail pairs I checked both had fairly rough embroidery. In this detail, both LJR and Y3 actually look cleaner than retail. lol

4. Icy Sole: LJR listened to everyone‘s feedback, and this time the outsole is no longer overly blue.

Conclusion:
Both LJR and Y3 are professional AJ11 factories. I can’t really go wrong with either one, So just choose the batch you prefer.

Hi guys, here's something new from LJR Factory.

LJR has just revealed the upcoming Yeezy Slide YS-02, based on Ye's newest YZY release. The retail version is priced at $50 and is made from a one-piece EVA foam construction with updated styling.

From these first factory photos, the overall shape looks very promising. The strap thickness, toe opening, side profile, and outsole pattern all look close to retail. Of course, we'll need an in-hand retail comparison before making any final conclusions, but it's definitely looking like a solid start.

What do you guys think about the new YS-02? Better than the original Yeezy Slides, or are you sticking with the classic version?

Hi guys, finally got my hands on the GX Batch KAWS 4 restock that a lot of people have been waiting for. I've spent some time checking them out in hand, so here's my honest opinion.

First thing that stands out is the suede. It's soft, has really nice movement, and doesn't feel dry or overly hairy. The embossed KAWS graphics are done really well too. They're visible under the right lighting but don't pop too much, which is exactly how they're supposed to look.

The overall shape is honestly one of the strongest parts of this batch. Side profile looks clean, heel isn't bulky, and the shoe has that nice Jordan 4 silhouette. The toebox isn't oversized either. It has a good height and a natural curve instead of looking boxy.

The tongue feels premium. The suede texture is consistent with the rest of the upper, the Jumpman embossing is clean, and the tongue height looks good. It doesn't collapse or look too thin.

Midsole color looks really solid. It has the correct muted grey tone and the paint lines are clean. Air unit placement also looks centered and there aren't any obvious paint flaws around it.

The outsole is another highlight. The glow is strong and even, and you can clearly see the KAWS graphics underneath. Definitely one of the coolest details on this pair.

Stitching throughout the shoe is clean. I didn't notice any loose threads or uneven panels. The suede cuts are neat, and all the panels line up well. The wings sit nicely without looking oversized, and the mesh placement looks accurate.

Heel shape is good, padding feels nice, and the back tabs are straight. The sockliner is comfortable, and the overall build feels solid in hand. Nothing feels cheap about this pair.

Compared to retail, I'd say GX gets very close. The materials are excellent, the suede movement is on point, the shape is accurate, and the embossed graphics are well executed. The only tiny things I'd mention are that retail pairs can have slightly different suede shades depending on age and lighting, and some authentic pairs show a little more variation in the embossed pattern. That's really nitpicking though.

Overall, I honestly think this is still the best KAWS 4 available right now. If you've been waiting for a good batch, I don't think you'll be disappointed with these.

Hi everyone, this is PV.

We're excited to officially announce that RSD Batch is now in production.

Why are we releasing two versions?

During development, we purchased and compared three different retail pairs. What we found was interesting: retail pairs are not all the same.

The differences are not just caused by oxidation over time. Retail pairs were produced using two different nubuck finishes, resulting in two legitimate retail color tones.

Instead of forcing one compromise, we decided to produce both retail versions.

Batch 1 - Available Now

Tone: Light

Leather: Medium Olive CSI 1.4-1.6mm Mellowbuck

Process: Single-Dyed Nubuck

Tannery: PrimeAsia (China)

This version matches the lighter retail pairs with a clean, soft, velvety finish.

Batch 2 - Coming Soon

Tone: Dark

Leather: Medium Olive CSI 1.4-1.6mm FP Double Dye Nubuck

Process: Double-Dyed Nubuck

The leather has already been completed and approved. Production will begin shortly.

Double Dye Nubuck receives two dye treatments, creating a richer and deeper color that closely matches the darker retail pairs.

Why won't the dark version be an exact color match?

We want to be completely transparent.

The retail pair we used for comparison has naturally oxidized over time. Freshly produced leather simply cannot replicate years of natural oxidation overnight.

What we can guarantee is that the leather specification, thickness, nap, and color code are matched as closely as possible to retail. As the shoe ages naturally, the color will continue moving toward the retail appearance.

Which version is correct?

Both.

Neither version is a flaw.

Both color variations exist on authentic retail pairs, and we're simply reproducing both versions as accurately as possible.

If you prefer the lighter retail look, Batch 1 is available now.

If you prefer the darker retail look, Batch 2 will be available soon.

The choice is yours.

Heel embroidery

We've also noticed questions regarding the heel embroidery.

The heel leather on this release is extremely soft. Because both the Wings logo and the Cactus Jack embroidery are stitched directly into that soft leather, small needle holes around the embroidery are completely normal.

This is caused by the embroidery process itself and can also be found on authentic retail pairs. It is not a quality issue, does not affect durability, and should not be considered a flaw during QC.

Premium leather

Batch 1 uses leather supplied by PrimeAsia (Pou Chen Group), one of the world's leading footwear leather suppliers and an LWG Gold Rated tannery.

The leather has been developed specifically to the Medium Olive CSI 1.4-1.6mm specification, matching the retail material as closely as possible in thickness, texture, and nap.

Leather comparison photos are included so everyone can judge for themselves.

Thank you to everyone who continues supporting PV and the RSD Batch. Your feedback has helped shape every improvement we've made, and we'll continue listening and improving every future release.

Looking Ahead

Moving forward, every future colorway we produce will have two versions whenever retail references support it:

• Light Version
• Dark Version

That way, everyone can choose the version they personally prefer instead of arguing over which shade is "correct." Both versions are based on authentic retail references and accurately reflect real retail variations.

Our goal has always been to give the community more choice and complete transparency, not to force everyone into a single version. Whether you prefer the lighter look or the darker look, you'll have the option to pick the one that suits you best.

We don't want to become another FK or LJR batch. We want RSD to stand out and offer something different, which is why we made this decision.

Creating two versions takes significantly more time, effort, and money, but we believe it's worth it. Special thanks to Shoddy for pushing this idea from the beginning and helping make it happen.

At the end of the day, the choice is yours. That's what makes RSD different.

This is probably the first time a Top reps factory to release BIN23 line, and RN has done an exceptional job💪

Highlights:

1.Box: Premium woodgrain drawer-style box （StockX scannable label）

2.Shoe Trees: Crafted from solid wood with an adjustable expansion mechanism.

3.Materials: Premium genuine leather is used throughout the lining and insoles, giving the pair an outstanding feel.

Weight: US 8.5 pair weighs almost 5kg with the full packaging. That also means the shipping cost won't be cheap!

Hi guys, got two Gucci bags for you today from Manson. I'm definitely not a bag expert, so this is just my honest opinion after comparing them with a few retail Gucci bags I already own.

First impressions were honestly really good. Both bags came with a nice shape straight out of the package, no weird creases or collapsed panels. The GG Supreme canvas feels sturdy, the leather trim has a premium feel, and the hardware has a nice weight to it instead of feeling cheap or hollow.

The GG Supreme print looks very close to retail. The color is accurate, the monogram spacing is consistent, and the canvas texture feels similar to authentic Gucci. One thing I always notice on cheaper reps is messy print alignment, but that isn't an issue here.

The Ophidia Duffle is easily my favorite. The proportions look right, the Web stripe is centered, the handles are symmetrical, and the overall structure is really clean. The zipper is smooth and the engraving on the zipper pull is crisp. Hardware has a nice brushed finish and doesn't look overly shiny.

The GG Supreme Shoulder Bag is also really impressive. It keeps its shape well, the stitching is clean all around, the leather edging looks neat, and the zipper works perfectly. It's a simple bag but the overall construction feels very high quality.

Compared to the retail Gucci bags I own, the differences are honestly very small. Unless someone has an authentic bag sitting next to these and starts measuring every detail, I don't think anyone would notice.

If I had to point out flaws, they're very minor:

• The leather grain could be slightly closer to retail in a few areas.
• Some hardware edges could be a little sharper.
• Under certain lighting the canvas shade may look ever so slightly different, but it's extremely minor and not something you'd notice in normal use.

Overall, I was genuinely impressed with both bags. The materials, stitching, hardware, and overall build quality are exactly what I'd expect from a high-tier batch. Manson clearly puts effort into sourcing quality products, and it shows.

I'd definitely recommend Manson if you're looking for high-end designer bags or clothing. Everything I've seen from him has been consistently top tier. Community posts also consistently describe his products as high quality with reliable service.

Overall Rating: 9.5/10

LJR restocked the Sail last week. As promised, I purchased a new retail pair to prepare this comparison.

Other than the colorway, nearly every key detail is the same as the Muslin. You can Search my previous post for the full comparison✌️

Oxidation Detail:As this is a 6 year old release, LJR intentionally make the lace locks and hang tag a more oxidized appearance in this new restock. That's why they look slightly darker than my new retail pair.
