Only that it does :p

—— BM Lin flaws (owned Lin and retail):
• SPLY 350 text is too noticeable compared to retail. Instant call out if you know. • The Zebra pattern on the shoe is also too noticeable. It is too off-white and if you compare with retail you will easily notice it. Can be a call out. • Heel pull tab is too white. It is off-white on retail. Instant call-out if you know • Sizing is weird. I bought BM Lin’s 10.5 and when I wore them it had so much extra prime knit on the sides which made the shoe look weird on foot. Bought retail later in the same size and it fit so much better. • Boost pattern of course. Also BM Lin’s are NOT comfortable compared to retail, not even close.
There were more differences but they were so small they didn’t really matter.
Honestly, BM Lin is attractive when you read they are only $25. Then once you actually buy them and realize they are actually like $35 + $40 shipping, other higher-tier reps that fix most of the main flaws become a smarter choice.
Veredict? Stop being cheap, invest an extra $15-$20 and get a much better shoe.
