Serious ? Why do people cop reps that are super rare?

I know we all cop reps because we “like the shoe” or design and a lot of us aren’t afraid to admit we wear reps, but what I don’t get when people cop shoes that are like 30k and stuff like that. Or something like the Diors, TS invite only white party, etc.

It’s like anyone who knows remotely about shoes is pretty much gonna KNOW they’re reps. So why even bother? I’d rather cop stuff that’s somewhat believable. I can believe someone has a $1-2k pair of shoes vs a $10-30k pair.

Typically we are all sneakerheads and we like rocking stuff that other sneakerheads will appreciate as well. But if I just gotta deal with nonstop callouts, why bother?

I’m not judging I’m just looking for outlook.

Edit: what I’m saying is this in simple terms. Why wear a shoe that people are constantly going to ask you about all day. Is it not annoying?
