Jordan Brand included a watermarked card of authenticity with the shoes and the actual shoe itself, like a previous member stated, had a "secret message" which was visible using a backlight. At the end of the day, nobody really cared or even bothered to check. In the case of the XX2's... how many of us actually registered our pairs? I had 6 and I didn't even think once to do it. I did Jumpman Jam Man

Now that's a problem! what they should focus on his improve QC to get all pairs to A grade quality only. We never saw major issues like this back in the 90s and early Maybe not to the extreme that we see today, but I remember inspecting my pairs back in the days and finding glue marks, stitching errors etc. Store owners would look at me crazy when I asked for another pair due to minor defects. Thing is there wasn't Jordan aficionados like there are today. Most people were just happy to have a pair of jays, never inspected them, just tossed their old kicks in the new Jordan box and wore the fresh pair out the door and could careless if they matched or not. We wore our kicks to the ground and never thought twice about quality or how limited our shoes were. Today's consumers are a new breed. I myself won't even wear a pair till at least 6 months to year after purchase. I'm not trying to be 1 of 50 in the mall wearing yesterday's newest JB release. That's just me though. This!!!

The easiest solution is to just stop buying from early release sites period -buy from authorized Nike account holders only, then you won't have these worries. As mentioned -the best thing Nike could do for their customers would be to step up their QC (just don't expect this to happen anytime soon)

One of the last things put on the car before it leaves the factory is the VIN...just saying. So again..dudes pay wayyyyyyyyy beyond retail...no retail packaging...and I'm sure it wont have a sticker or whatever..and the answer will always be because they don't want to go through the hassle of coping on release date... www.THESHOEGAME.COM C Brown

Problem is, the factories and areas of production always leave them susceptible to counterfeiting... WANTED: DS Size 9 Air Jordan XIII CDP. Motivated buyer with confirmed PayPal account. Name your price! If you have a pair to spare, help out a fellow NT'er!

In all fairness, this could apply to re-sellers and not just early release buyers. It would be nice to know that you're getting authentic kicks when doing business with someone online because unfortunately, not everyone is 100% honest. That being said, I agree with your point on the craziness of copping early and paying $$$ just to have them a month before GR. WTB: Jordan 3 Black Cats in a 9.5 or 10. Lebron 8 Cool Greys and Chinas in a 10, Lebron 9 Free Gums and Miami Nights in 10.5 or 11. PM if you're selling!!!

Their sales are higher than ever even with the price increase on every one of their products and all the early release sites. Why invest money on fixing a problem when your income is the highest its ever been? M E M P H I S G R I Z Z L I E S ALL HEART, GRIT, GRIND. - tony allen

Something that has a serial number that you can check online to verify the authenticity of your pair. I know it's probably a hassle that Nike doesn't want to go through but if it means saving customers and fan base it's definitely a start. that would definitely be smart if Nike and JB do this. Bootleggers will have a hard time if Nike and JB would do this. BUT in reality it would cost more $ doing this and i'm pretty sure they would rather not. California Dreamin.

Some dudes don't want to wait in line and don't mind paying above MSRP because they'd rather do something else, so they have to resort to sites such as this anyways and pay extra cash. So if you have to pay extra for shoes anyways, why not and go ahead and get them early? Sometimes it's not all about breaking necks. Go hard or go harder.

Registered Member Posts: 470 01/13/12 6:52 AM	^stop it homie...cause EBAY is FLOODED with Concords right now..most with RECEIPTS or receipts can be request to prove purchase place...I say this to say that pairs can still be had..ABOVE retail AFTER release...but at that point what difference does it make...most would rather cop early and stunt for the inflated price (call it price justification) Again..I'm not mad at dudes who cop early..do you..but don't cry later...our culture knows of Sneekgeekz and Franalations simply for this reason...everyone wants to be the new YouTube sensation...unfortunately that cost money... As far as watermarking your pair or whatever...it's called a receipt and I keep all my receipts in the box should I ever need them for later... www.THESHOEGAME.COM C Brown
