Dior B22 Black Reflective by Koala
Koala is deemed to be one of the top-tier sneaker sellers in the replica community, and I have high expectations for their Dior B22 trainer in black. In this review, I will point out their flaws and share my personal thoughts along the way. The seller will be referenced at the end of this review. Let’s get started!
Flaw 1
Point 1: It may not seem obvious, but upon closer inspection, Koala’s DIOR emblem is slightly larger than the retail version. This is a small issue and I consider it a nitpick flaw.
Point 2: Koala’s perforation holes are decent, but my minor complaint is that the positioning is a tad off when compared to the retail version.
Flaw 2
Point 1: Koala’s back heel has a seam and stitching running down to the sole, but the retail version does not.
Point 2: Koala’s midsole thickness differs from the retail version; it seems like the retail is thicker than Koala’s.
Point 3: Koala’s outsole shape differs from the retail version; the retail outsole is flatter, whereas Koala’s is too high up, as shown in the images above.
Point 4: The overall shape differs between the two trainers; Koala’s shape is slightly expanded compared to the retail version.
Flaw 3
Point 1: The upper stitching on Koala’s trainer is a tad smaller than the retail version, but it is the best among all the top-tier batches in the replica market. I will update this blog when I come across better upper stitching.
Point 2: Koala’s toebox shape is much pointier compared to the retail version.
Point 3: The overall shape of Koala’s trainer is slightly expanded compared to the retail version.
Point 4: Koala’s 3M tape is slightly thinner than the retail version.
Conclusion
Indeed, Koala’s Dior B22 trainer in black is one of the best in the replica market as of writing this blog. Their flaws aren’t a big issue and could pass off as retail in the public eye. I love the color, topped off with the 3M reflective strap running across the trainer. This is on my purchase list, and I will dive into it once I get my hands on it. The quality of the sneaker is superb, although the price is slightly on the expensive side. As always, peace out and stay vibey.
