I've seen people swear up and down both ways. Always been too sketch for me. You pay him now and you may get your shoes in a few months. He's taken orders on shoes rumored to release that never released and refunded the money like a year later. There was a Chicago TS1 on there at one point. Actually it still is lol. Idk if he refunded people their money or not at this point. https://zadehkicks.com/products/nik...black-white-2019-bonus?variant=28230780813384 I mean he posts pre orders for everything. Just pairs rumored to release before any pics even leak. And sometimes they ship months after release. The whole thing just makes no sense to me. Why sell low if you know you're getting them? It seems more likely to me that he has to wait for the fake factory to produce pairs. But like I said, there's some people that will vouch and say it's legit. Idk if that's someone telling themselves that to feel better about it but i just can't order from him. It doesn't add up.
Like the grey 11s. We all know those will go over retail. If he knows he has 500 pairs coming, why sell under retail? I just don't get it.
I have seen some say he does it to get money fronted for another business but no clue if reap or not. He's been doing it for years on a bulk level so that doesn't make sense. He's gotta have tons of money.
well I have real ash blues and I cannot tell any difference what so ever. I also have fake 350s from pk that are very close but when you have them in hand you can tell there is something off
If you can’t tell if they are real or not and your going to wear them, does it matter if they are real? Especially if you’re paying under secondary or even retail?
They might be factory overrun in case someone needs to return a defective pair but even that's being optimistic that they're buying up that unused stock. Then again maybe their mom's a VP at Nike and they've got an in to buying up stock.
How do they run? I may be interested. I love 11’s but was waiting to bite the bullet on Concords, these I like for summer though.
Yeah, it can help if you know that something is made up to standards and not a crappy knockoff (versus a well-made one). I'm just saying i wouldn't want to go skydiving if someone cut corners making my parachute.
but if you don’t know what’s the big deal? Say you have a pair from StockX or goat and you find out they aren’t real why would that matter?
There's a couple issues for me. If someone told me they sold me real and sold me fake, even if they looked identical, I'd still be pissed if I found out. I don't like being scammed. Just be honest with me. Now if someone local had a Mars Yard that was an a1 replica and I could get them cheap, I would think about it. Not certain I'd do it, but I'd think about it. The issue with ordering from those factories or middle men is you aren't sure exactly what you're getting. Some of them use pics of real pairs then ship you something else. Not all, but some do. And they are constantly making upgrades to their fakes so they have batch 1 and batch 2 and batch 3 etc. I just don't trust any of them to actually order from them.
Bx I don't like being scammed, hustled, and lied to? I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it was fake.
You're cool with fakes. That's fine. Stop being weird about others not being ok with them. Nobody here is trying to preach to you about why you shouldn't like them so just chill.
Daniel Ocean go hang out with these guys. https://www.reddit.com/r/Repsneakers?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Comparing shoes with Parachutes is a bad analogy. That all I said. That has nothing to do with me being okay with fakes. As far as fakes/replicas I don’t own any and don’t plan to get any. Am I just curious why some are so against them if they can’t tell.
I buy/collect for me, not to flex on others. I don't care if others know. I know. And you're totally OK with fakes. You've argued in their favor multiple times. You get upset when they're called fakes. That's fine. Not judging you for it. Wear what you like.
if I’m buying fakes knowing they are fakes and they are at a steep discount then yeah I see why someone may buy them……but if you tell me they are legit and real and I’m paying retail or a bit over but they’re fake, I rather save my money not own them personally…….my sneaker collection is something I personally enjoy and my friends like to see and talk about, so just personally telling my friends that I have legit sneaker when it’s a knock off isn’t personally satisfying……just me
I made a joke once. I don’t get upset. I kinda don’t care. I never argued for them I have only said I don’t think it’s a big deal.
This is it for me. My friends know I'm into shoes. They ask questions about them. I couldn't try to pass a fake pair off as real. Just not something I'd be comfortable doing.
doing what? I asked a question. You’re the one who gets weird about this. I don’t own any and don’t plan on getting any. So idk why you think I care so much.
Both are made using textiles and sewing. It seemed like a situation where you'd rather have an item made up to quality standards and not something single stitched when it should be double or triple stitched.
Idk but if you wear fakes you dont have a chance of dying. Comparing fake shoes to something meant to save your life is a bad analogy idk what to tell you.
I'd go partial Karen and want a refund, maybe shamelessly mock their quality control for them slipping through. But that's because you paid for something expecting the quality that you should be getting. No one would reasonably pay In N Out prices for Jack In The Box quality.
dblplay1212 i meant if you owned a pair for a while wore them multiple times and found out they were fake. In this hypothetical the individual sold you what they thought was real it was an honest mistake. My question was why would your opinion change about the shoes. You answered why . It’s not like I called your opinion dumb or tried to change it. It was just a continuation about the question I originally asked mc415 about the link.
I'm genuinely dumbfounded that you'd be totally fine finding out something you paid for and thought was real was actually fake but I'm not going to grill you about it. Wear what you like.
i didn’t say I would. I don’t know how I’d react to be honest. I asked a question. It was answered. I didn’t call the answer dumb. I didn’t call anyone who felt that way dumb. Again I don’t own any fakes don’t intend to get any. It just seems like some look down on others who get them, I don’t.
I don't think anyone looks down on those that get them. Just those that get them and tell everyone they are real.
For the record I fully believe zadeh sells real shoes and many people who I trust believe the same. If I/they are wrong then so be it, but those are my thoughts. NilesIrish I will let you know when I get the pairs of 11s in, my wife and I both hit as fate would have it.
this kinda my point. If you think they are real and he says they are real and you never find out they aren’t why does it matter? You get your shoes you rock your shoes everyone compliments your shoes does it really matter that you find out in 10 years that they were fake?
Does it matter if your wife cheats on you if you never find out? If you never find out, what's the big deal? If you find out 10 years from now, will you just laugh about it with her? Sorry, I don't like being lied to and I won't lie to other people and pretend my fakes are real. Shoes aren't that important. If I get the real, cool. If I don't, there's another pair releasing next week.
