Dior B22 Grey Calfskin Trainer by Koala
This isn’t my first Koala review. They specialize in sneakers such as Dior and Alexander McQueen. Many reviews in the replica community are satisfied with their purchases. In this post, I will be reviewing their Dior B22 Grey Calfskin Trainer by pointing out the flaws and sharing my thoughts. Let’s dive into it!
Flaw 1
Point 1: Koala’s suede patch is a different color compared to the retail version. It’s a few shades off, but it’s essentially a totally different color.
Point 2: The back heel shape differs on both Dior B22s. Koala’s back heel sole is not extruded enough.
Point 3: The perforation holes on Koala’s B22 are decent, but my minor complaint is the positioning, which is slightly off compared to the retail version.
Flaw 2
Point 1: The DIOR font on Koala’s logo emblem is too tall, and the spacing between the characters is too narrow. The emblem color is also a few shades off compared to the retail version.
Point 2: Koala’s patch color is off compared to the retail version.
Point 3: The sole material differs on both pairs. Koala’s material is somewhat similar, but the pattern isn’t as defined as the retail version.
Flaw 3
Point 1: Koala’s pull tab color differs from the retail version by a few shades.
Point 2: The bottom of the sole differs on both pairs. It seems like Koala’s sole is too low, and the shape is different from the retail version.
Flaw 4
Point 1: Koala’s toebox shape is different from the retail version, not as pointy in my opinion.
Point 2: Koala’s overall shoe shape differs from the retail version. Koala’s pair doesn’t resemble the hourglass shape of the retail pair.
Conclusion
Koala’s Dior B22 Grey Calfskin Trainer is a solid pair despite the flaws mentioned. I love the colorway of this trainer, but there are two main concerns: the suede color, which is totally different from the retail version, and the Dior emblem on the lateral side of the trainer. This Dior B22 is on my purchase list, and I will dive deeper into the sneaker once I get my hands on it. As always, peace out and stay vibey.
