Yeah I get that, so say I purchased a real pair, and I wanted to scam someone.
Why don't I let them see my paper trail for the real pair, and give them a fake pair?

You can have a paper trail all day and still be sold a pair of fakes.

Yup as long as you were able to cop 1 legit pair from nike.com. You can scam over and over again.

No one is saying to just do a deal off some paper.
Do a legit check first, obviously.
The paper trail is to make sure you aren't buying stolen shoes.

Did anyone else receive this box with his Red October pair?
I bought mine on Nike Europe (I'm in France) and received this box.
As you can see, it says NRG and not SP but color code is 660.
I don't care about the box but I just wanted to know if anyone else received this box.
Thanks !

Y'all act like every tom, d, and jerry could cop off of nike.com and can produce a valid paper trail.

Nice box, pause..
I actually prefer that box over the red/Orange variety. 88 3s released in the UK came in those boxes.

I think you're missing the point, bro
Example:
I cop a pair off NDC.
I put them up for sale.
I get a buyer that is interested.
I show him my paper trail...all legit.
He pays, I ship.
Instead of shipping the actual legit pair of RO's, I switch them out with some Super perfect flukes.
I now have a legit pair of RO's with no box/receipt, but I'm also $3k+ richer.
Point is that you can have all the paper work, but still be sent some fakes with all that legit paper work.

And then that guy files a chargeback against you. Now you're out of your paperwork, and you're out of money.I think you're missing the point, bro

What makes you think that anyone can get away with that stupidity?

Just picked up a Sz. 12 from a buddy of mine who wanted the money to buy Plats. He gave me a hell of a deal on them so I had to get them. Now I just need to swap down to a Sz. 11/11.5, and then I will wear those tough this summer...

What makes you think they can't?
You can get filed a chargeback and lose out on your money, paperwork AND your shoes, so that's beside the point.

how am i missing the point? its not a ton of pairs out there therefore this scam's probability is slim. lets say there were 5000 pairs sold in the US.
5000 / 12 sizes (estimate) = about 416 per size floating around. even with something like 300 pairs per size being flipped.... thats NOT that many pairs that have real nike.com buyers trying to scam dudes even with a 100% SELLER SCAM RATE.
its simple mathematics

You serious?
You think cats are really breaking it down by estimaing how many of their size are floating around and/or being flipped?
Nah, bro, it's not simple mathematics.
Nothing about getting this shoe is simple.

You're imagining things if you really think people are breaking down pairs per size on transactions.

Why would we care how many pairs were available when we are discussing the odds of someone scamming after they purchased a legit pair.... Makes no sense. It's not like these were rare or anything. We never apply logic when trying to figure out things.
Don't nobody got time for that.
