What is an Original Rejected Sneaker?
If you’re new to Sneaker Vogue, you’ve probably asked yourself:
“Original rejected? Sounds weird… is it fake?”
The short answer: No — it’s real. 100% genuine.
The long answer? Let’s break it down.
Made in the Same Factories as Retail
Every major sneaker brand works with contracted factories to produce their shoes.
When you buy from a retail store, the pair you get comes from one of these factories.
Original rejected sneakers are made in those exact same factories, with the same materials, the same designs, and the same craftsmanship.
Why “Rejected” Doesn’t Mean Bad
The “rejected” label doesn’t always mean there’s something wrong with the shoe. In fact, most pairs are in perfect condition.
Common reasons for rejection include:
🔷 Factory made more pairs than the brand ordered.
🔷 A stitch slightly off, or a shade of colour that’s 1% lighter or darker than retail specs.
🔷 Slightly dented box or wrong label.
None of these affect comfort, durability, or style. You wouldn’t even notice unless you’re a factory inspector.
So... How We Get Them?
At Sneaker Vogue, we’ve built trusted connections with suppliers who have direct links to these original factories.
We only buy from verified sources. No middlemen who mix in fakes, no “too good to be true” deals from unknown sellers.
Our Two-Stage Quality Check
Before we list any sneaker for sale, we inspect it inside-out:
1) The supplier checks for flaws before sending to us.
2) Our own team checks again for stitching, glue marks, symmetry, and sole condition.
Only the cleanest pairs pass both checks.
Why It’s Cheaper
Because these pairs never go through official brand retail channels, there’s:
❌No retail markup.
❌No brand advertising cost built into the price.
❌No middleman commissions.
That’s why you can get a sneaker retailing for RM1,000… for RM349.
Will People Know?
Honestly? No.
Even experienced sneaker collectors can’t tell the difference without opening up the shoe and measuring materials.
When you’re wearing them, they look, feel, and perform exactly the same as retail pairs.
An original rejected sneaker is a smart buyer’s best friend. You’re getting the real thing, minus the retail markup.
Same style. Same comfort. Same flex. Less money.
