WARNING: DO NOT PURCHASE FROM KOLORBLIND SAN DIEGO

recently, a reddit user /u/intensetrash26 bought a pair of yeezys from there. everything seemed fine until he began to wash them with crepe protect, and the suede dye began to leak. unfortunately, they were determined to be ZZTOP old pattern fakes, which have no 8s

anyways, when he went back to the store, this happened

they posted a picture of him with the shoes

Hey Reddit, after buying a pair of turtledoves from kolorblind San Diego, I got them legit checked here with you guys and the consensus was that they were fake. I went to the store today to try and get a refund and this is what happened. I went in having already talked to the store manager so he knew that I was coming and was aware of the situation. I show him the shoes and point out why they are fake and he takes one of them out and face times someone. He talks to him for 15 minutes and comes back and offers me $1000 store credit. At this point what's the point in getting store credit for a store that just sold me fake sneakers? I refuse the offer and point out my case that the sneakers are fake and I want nothing but a refund. He goes out to talk to someone else or maybe the same guy and he comes back half an hour later saying there's nothing he can do. I ask him whether the shoes in my hand are fake or not and he responds that he's not going to answer the question. He then explains that apparently even though I have pictures, the receipt and everything that came with the purchase, there's no legitimate proof that I came back in with the same pair of shoes I initially bought so they aren't going to refund me. I'm furious and am writing this in the hope of some advice on what to do to hopefully still get my money back or at least warn people from purchasing anything from this store.

they've also been blocking anyone who comments about this and deleted the posts of the yeezy 350 turtle doves.  they did have a response, but never say whether or not the shoes are fake.

On September 11, 2016, Mathias came into Kolorblind Shoes with his mother and purchased a Brand New DeadStock 100% Authentic Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Turtle Dove for $1,728 after taxes.

38 Days later (October 19th), he calls up the store and says, “I just had the Yeezy’s legit checked and they came back false.” I replied with, “let me give you my personal number and we will get this straightened out asap.” Later that day I called and told him to stop by on Monday with the shoes so we can start the process.

When he arrived at the store today, he presented the shoes and I knew then, something else was going on. The shoes have been worn numerous times and appeared to have some substance dropped on them that he ineffectively tried to clean ruining the uppers of the shoes. As the Store Manager for the last 2+ years and an avid sneaker enthusiast for the past 14+ years, this was not the same shoe we sold him 38 Days earlier.

Our first goal as a business is customer satisfaction. In this impossible situation, we decided to offer a store credit of $1,000 and just eat the loss, for which they declined. After we declined to refund at that point, they started to get upset. We get it though, everyone is looking for a come up at someone else’s expense, we just decided not to lay down this time and take it. This bait and switch routine happens all the time and as the business, we never get a fair shake. We are here for the people, to help them get done what they don’t have time for, nothing more.
