They say they're influenced by them but, I think they're just ripping 'em off.

i agree. if you are influenced you dont make exact copies and stick your brand label on them.

They should do more changes then just the color schemes or else they're just different colored Air Force Ones.

As most forum members will have noticed I am pretty keen on GN$ Sneakers and I would also like a pair of Bapes too. Yes they are a copy of the classic AF1, well the Phantom style GN$ are anyway, but lets also consider that every high end denim company ( ie Sugercane, Samurai, etc.,,) is essentially trying to produce classic Levis. Sometimes the designs inspired by bigger brands, made by smaller brands can often be better in terms of quality and design than the original. Thats not to take anything away from Nike of course who have remained on top of their game and continue to produce outstanding sneakers. As people often say imitation is the best form of flattery
