Y-3 Qasa


those look really sus, come with wrong laces and the box label font is way off

i'd say if you really want em just wait until they release or cop from authentic websites, don't support the counterfeiters.

Nah, those are legit. I know that guy and he is a solid contributor in that forum.

Not that it matters, it sold already. :lol:

^pic from a replica seller.

I wouldn't be so sure bro, y-3 doesn't give out different colored laces from my experience, just the same laces. Plus those laces are supposed to be from the first black/white qasa that released i don't see why they would reuse them.

And when i say the box labels wrong, its way off lol, but if you insist...
 
Again, trust me those are legit, he got it from Sneakerboy. I know the dude and I am always on SF and that guy is well known there and has sold plenty of items.

I am 1000000000% sure it's real.
 
^ Interesting, I bought those and he said he got them from his connect in "Japan". I am starting to have doubts now, kinda sus that he deleted his pictures after selling them.

I managed to save a few. Hopefully they're real because that would suck if they aren't.

I thought he told me he bought it from Sneakerboy, he was asking me about sizing on them. He could have gotten them from Japan too, plenty in SF got connects to Japan but last we talked he said he pre-ordered from SB, maybe his order got cancelled?

Also, I believe they have a rule in SF that pics be deleted after the item is sold to save bandwidth, I could be wrong though since I don't sell there.

I standby my statement and say that dude is 100% legit until proven guilty especially since dude got a good feedback selling stuff there.



And those style Qasa does come with extra laces. I just checked my Y3 Qasa box and it does come with extra laces, they are the same colors that comes with the shoes but there are extra laces.

Check out these listings and you can see both comes with extra laces.

That could be a possibility, however, he told me he can special order hard to get items from Japan through his connect. He seems like a reputable seller through SF so I trust him. 

And I have older listings on SF that haven't gotten pictures deleted from a year ago, so I find it quite odd he would delete it so fast. I'm kinda paranoid now that Space Ghost mention it looked off.

I believe Space was referring to it having different laces, which was throwing him off.  He meant that the OG lace should be the same one as the extra laces.

Do you have the all black qasa highs? Because the ones you linked all have the same laces on the shoe and extra set.

No I don't the all black so i can't help you there. Y3 could easily send out the old laces with white detail because it is much cheaper than the waxed laces they have on the shoe and the different colors actually changes the look? Really not sure.

That guy actually offered it to me before he ordered it in case he doesn't like it when he gets it, but he offered it to me first because I was the one that helped him on sizing.

Looks like you're just going to have to wait for the shoes the arrive so best of luck. But if for some reason they are fakes, I am sure you can post it up and prove it on SF and plenty will help you get your money back, the admin there is very helpful especially when it comes to sales and if you have good and solid evidence they are indeed fakes and the dude doesn't help you resolve the problem.


You can also just post the pics you saved so it's at least in the data bank in this thread for reference and maybe others can comment on it, others do have the olives here that are from the same season so the shape should be more consistent with that than the older ones.

That could be the case as well. From a quick google search I've found that if the laces with white details don't shine when you take a picture using flash, which are found on fakes. Along with the shape of the toe box, paint, glue job and letters on the shoe/label. 

I really hope that doesn't happen, but thanks for giving me a heads up if the transaction went sour. I should get it sometime this week so I  will definitely post pictures.

My friend has the blk/white qasa highs so I can compare to that as well.

The all blacks will officially release soon so you'll definately be able to compare them very soon. Also something important to note that i noticed on the all black fakes was that the Yohji Yamamoto that is written on the side is not engraved and is painted on. I guess for the all black release y3 wanted to add that unique little feature and engrave the name in since its in all black but all the counterfeits i've seen haven't picked that up and simply painted them on like the other releases.

also a couple scattered sizes for the highs for $400 shipped but they ship in october.

Noticed that too, but whats throwing me off is that some of the stock pictures that went out have the yohji Yamamoto painted on. Or they might have changed it before releasing.

Here's a better angle

yeah might've been just the samples like that but all the boutiques that have posted up pics of the qasas all seem to have the engraved name on it, but we'll know better once you receive them.

You were right

Got it in today and they're indeed fake. The yohji sign is way off (painted on). You can see glue residue all over the shoes. The y-3 font on the back is about to peel off. The insoles compared to the kithnyc pictures is way off.

I'll post pictures tonight after work. I'm disappointed, now I know why he deleted his pictures from the thread.

damn bro sorry it had to be you, im sure you'll be able to get your money back though.

on a positive note the pics will definitely help us see how the fakes are first hand.
 
^wow man, those things look like they're about to fall apart. Good luck getting that resolved, definitely sucks.
