All in cart is pair of boots

Found this Taobao brand while digging through some non-rep clothing stores and thought it was worth sharing.

YGN098 单缝制造 focuses mainly on vintage-inspired, washed and oversized pieces. Their catalog has a pretty nice mix of heavyweight tees, hoodies and casual pieces, with some products going up to very heavy weights.

What caught my attention:
🇨🇳 Independent Taobao clothing brand
👕 Vintage / washed aesthetic
🧱 Several heavyweight pieces
📸 Plenty of buyer reviews
💰 Mostly affordable compared to similar styles
❌ Not a rep seller

If you’re into vintage blanks, washed tees, oversized fits or just looking for smaller Chinese brands outside of the usual rep sellers, definitely worth checking out.

Second haul with CNShopper. Overall I’m very happy with the experience and figured I’d share the haul and some thoughts on everything now that I’ve had a chance to go through it.

Parcel was 11.62kg and packaging was 47x42x38cm. Shipping was $327.06 before a 40% coupon and $196.24 after the coupon, plus $1.75 for corner protection. EMS-CNShopper line (est 4-7 days)

The shipping line was great and the package moved very quickly. Unfortunately CNShopper isn't offering this particular line right now. I included a photo of the box at the warehouse before shipping and what it looked like when it arrived. It got a little beat up during transit, but everything inside arrived without any issues. The $1.75 corner protection was definitely worth adding.

CVW TS J1 Low Medium Olive — Size 46

Excellent quality. Really happy with these and I can't wait to compare them to the RSD pair I have on the way.

MVT MM GATs — White/Grey & Black — Size 47

Both pairs are very good quality. They are a little more snug than i thought they would be, but i think it will get batter when i break them in.

MK LP Summer Walk — Grey — Size 46

Pretty good quality overall, but unfortunately they're a little too tight for me. DM me if interested.

LJR J4 SB Brick after Brick — Size 47.5

I'd give these a 9/10. Very good pair overall. My only complaint is that I feel like they're a little too bulky compared to retail.

Y3 J4 SB Brick by Brick

Extremely good value for the money. No brainer if they have your size available

L@coste Slim Fit Polo — Salmon/Pink

Excellent quality. Very happy with this one.

Bri0ni Polo — Blue

Very high quality. One of the nicer clothing pieces from the haul.

Z3gna Trousers — Grey & Khaki

Both are very high quality and really lightweight. Perfect pants for spring and summer weather.

P0lo RL Australian Open Shirt — White

Pretty solid overall. Unfortunately it's already OOS and the link is dead.

CH Cemetery Ring

Not bad at all for the price.

N!ke x Grateful Dead Bucket Hat

Love this one. Definitely one of my favorite pickups from the haul.

Overall, I'm very happy with my second CNShopper order. Packing was good, everything arrived safely despite the box taking a beating, and the shipping experience was great. The 40% coupon obviously made a big difference in the shipping cost. Really wish that shipping line returns.

I'll put all of the W2C links in a separate comment.

Happy to answer any questions about the items, sizing, batches or my experience with CNShopper.

This is a great batch of shoes. I have three pairs from this batch personally and am about to order back ups of the ones I have because I like them that much. For $18 this is a steal!! Yes those last pics are of two of the pairs from this batch I own.

Performance on Dunks
The Specialty Tier: TOP/S2 is widely recognized as the go-to factory for "random" or highly complex, non-traditional Dunk colorways that other factories skip. For example, they are considered a top choice for specialized releases like the Orange Lobster Dunks or the Jarritos SB Dunks.

Mid-to-High Positioning: Within the Dunk community, TOP/S2 sits comfortably as a strong mid-tier to upper-tier option. While M Batch is usually preferred for standard, clean inline Dunks (like Pandas or standard color blockings), TOP/S2 is favored when a shoe requires vibrant, unique graphic prints and textured canvas.

Performance on Travis Scott Models
The SB Dunk Low: For the Travis Scott SB Dunk specifically, TOP/S2 is considered a decent budget-to-mid alternative, but it generally takes a back seat to PK Batch. TOP Batch pairs are noted for having good rope laces, but they occasionally struggle with the exact color accuracy of the tear-away plaid panels and the precision of the mismatched pink and black swooshes compared to higher-end batches.

Travis Scott Jordan 1 Lows: For his signature Jordan 1 Lows (like the Reverse Mochas or Olives), the factory produces solid mid-range pairs. However, the heavy hitters for those specific silhouettes remain PK 4.0 or FK Batch due to their superior nubuck suede movement.

links+review in comments

The overall quality is really good. The suede/nubuck feels soft and has a nice texture to it, and the color looks really good in person. The panels are clean, the cages look pretty solid, and the shape is honestly one of the better AJ4s I've handled.

The construction feels sturdy without the shoes being ridiculously heavy. Stitching looks clean throughout, the midsole is nicely finished, and the Air windows are clear. Nothing immediately jumped out at me as a major flaw.

The outsole is also pretty clean, with the Nike branding and traction pattern looking good. Even small details like the heel tabs, wings and mesh are done well.

For LJR, I wasn't expecting much to complain about and that's pretty much how it turned out. Obviously I'm not an authenticator, so take the QC comments as my personal opinion, but as an in-hand pair these look and feel really good.

GKMG Sneakers

Ordering from GKMG was straightforward. Communication was good and the pair was sent to the warehouse without any problems. The pair I received matched the QC pretty closely, which is always what I want to see.

CNShopper

This was my first time using CNShopper for this order and the agent experience was probably the easiest part of the whole process. The QC pictures were clear enough to properly check the shoes before shipping, and having multiple angles made it easy to look over the pair.

Customer support was also quick whenever I had questions. The shipping process was straightforward, and the package arrived in good condition with the shoes and box intact.

I've seen quite a few people mention CNShopper recently for their shipping prices and customer service, and after using them myself I can understand why. Their current Trustpilot profile is also sitting around 4.5/5, although obviously that's based on the overall customer base and not specifically my order.

Overall

Really happy with the pair. The LJR quality is excellent for what I was looking for, GKMG was easy to deal with, and CNShopper made the warehouse/QC/shipping side pretty painless.

Looking for some cheap AJ 1 low tops? Snatch these for $9 what do you have to lose? No batch identity but running them through Ai checking they are a pretty good mid tier rep.
