Does flight club currently have a fake pair of quais 5s on there website.. I was just on there and they have 2 diff pics of the shoes posted and one looks a little off and the green on the bottoms are different
 
Flight club has been around for decades...They have earned a good reputation...I highly doubt they would be selling fakes....Can you post a link?
 
They probably have veteran quality valuators, but i'm sure a fake or two has passed through since their existence.

No. They use stock Nike photos as their pics.
 
Could be a consignment pair they got? That is worn? or maybe fake? Could be the lighting of the camera...Ive dealt with flight club a few times...and they have always been legit....But i guess you never know...Like someone said....a fake or 2 may get in sometimes...as they do consignment.
 
That is the first time I've ever seen something like that from flight club... Maybe some one stored them and they started to changed cause of storage conditions but hey wat do I no
 
You got to be real careful with Flightclub. From time to time they have fakes, high quality at best and its hard for people to detect because of the lack of a better word. None the less, you really have to be careful because I am sure they get a lot of people shipping them shoes through their consignment program. I think they need to hire people with more experience because a few months ago I remember doing a legit check for someone who purchased 3lab5s, the first colorway and they had purchased through flightclub but they were clearly fake. I was able to see for myself and got to comparing them through pics. Im just saying that you could possibly be purchasing a fake pair.
 
people have gotten fakes from foot locker, so fakes sometimes get thru almost anywhere


check it out in store since you're nearby

Gonna have to see some proof on that. Fakes from footlocker? Fakes from Flightclub? Unless anyone here has any proof then thats just heresay. Flightclub ain't sellin no fakes. Havent sold me any anyways. Or anybody i know. Anybody can just say that they did. It must be lonely on top for flightclub, somebody always hating on them, like they give a damn. I've never seen or heard anyone get fakes from flightclub. And nobody hates on other websites like they do with Flightclub. I never see anyone hating on kickscrew or ISS or any other highly reputable sneaker site, not nowhere nearly as much as flightclub anyway when they're prices are the same.

I´m not from the US so I don´t really know where FC gets their kicks from.. but Footlocker? They get their shipments directly from the brands I would think, how can they sell fakes?
 
What if and this is a shot in the dark but with all these gm super fakes you would think someone has got a shoe from footlocker and did the ole switcharoo and returned the gm pair and kept the legit pair.

Lawsuit and a half. Multiple arrests and charges. It would be in the news probably I would think. A nike retailer selling counterfeit goods, yea that would be a big deal and we would have heard about it.

LMAO! WHAT? Did you think about that before you typed it? So you're telling me that if I bought some "super perfect GM Jordans", switched them out with some Jordans I bought at Footlocker (or any other mall chain store) there would be multiple arrests and news worthy headlines? You do know these people that work at these stores usually know less about shoes than the person buying them. They'd open the box, see a shoe that looks just like the one they sold that is unworn, and put it right back on the shelf. Yall are giving Nike way too much credit and these factories making these "Fakes" way too less credit. Nike's QC is crap and the differences in most of these GM's is so minute that most wouldn’t even know. I mean just look at the legit check section on here. If it was that easy to tell do you think so many people would be getting got like they are? With that said, I wouldn't be at all surprised if a "fake" or 2 has slipped through the cracks at FlightClub. Yall acting like they have an official "Nike authenticity verifier machine" or something at the stores. Just regular guys checking for the same cosmetic flaws that people on here check for so there's room for human error.
 
I personally believe Flightclub won't take any Concords from anybody on consignment because of how good all the fakes of those have gotten. Cause they haven't had any Concord 11 highs all year. I've also heard stories about how snobby their legit checkers are. Like one dude on YouTube "claimed" had some what he claimed to be legit Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October's but in a replacement Air Jordan box. Claims he took them into the store and they wouldn't even barely look at the shoes before turning him away and saying they were fake. So getting something past these guys can't be an easy task. And if u do get them past them and they find out down the road I would expect them to press charges on said "bootlegger" for selling counterfeit goods. And finally they do have the "DO NOT REMOVE TAG BEFORE INSPECTION. So u can return them.

U do know selling counterfeit goods in the USA is illegal right? The quality of the counterfeit good has absolutely nothing to do with it. Fake is fake. And if u got away with it its still illegal. If u did that and got caught u would be arrested and charged with promotion and selling of counterfeit goods(felony). In this country anyway.

Yes I do but you said multiple arrests and news coverage. Don't see that happening.
