Jordan x KAWS 4 Black “Cyber Monday” 11/27/17 release thread

kaws reminds me a lot of edward norton.

sounds just like him

ps- i have a question

do you guys think that apps like goat and stockx have affected the "community" of Niketalk?

i'll elaborate...been on here for years and there was a time where members found a happy medium of making a few dollars off a flip and still selling to other members at a price less than resell market value. friendships and connections were made and it was pretty cool.

times have changed it's a younger crowd. not to mention the sneaker thing blew up and NT is no longer the only source of people with the shared hobby. Everyone's into sneakers whether they're on NT or not so people have friends and associates so to speak in the real world now.

do you agree with this or am I the only one not seeing NT fam transactions going down

What you're saying is true but it was long before stock x and goat. Everyone is in it for the money. Even the OGs that complain about resellers are out here flipping kicks, copping multiples for "trade bait" etc.
 
 
Hey NT, so last nite I met up with a guy selling his Kaws 4 for retail. Knowing they were fake of course I decided to go there and check them out anyways. And yes they were UA pairs. The guy said he got them from urban neccesities in LV. He showed me the UN receipt and CC charge from them.

I thought Urban Neccesities was a legit place and well known in the sneaker community? thanks.
 okay this is where the recent UN talk is coming from...

did he say it was a raffle win.....they also do vending machines (besides the keymasters) and lotto scratchers...he cop from that?

besides the price...what gave it away that it was UA ?
 
So wait, hold up lol you can buy kicks from stadium goods on credit with payment plans? haha like if you miss a payment do they repo your shoes?

you don't get the shoes until all the payments have been made. Its called a Layaway plan. Many consignment stores starting to do this. It's much easier to make a sale on a very high priced item because people think assbackwards and think they save money by making installments rather than paying it all off. At the end of the day, you're still paying the same amount and the store still gets paid that $2k for the shoe.

no raffle win, those shoes were UA 100%....the man lives around boston, where I am...his son deals with UN a lot, he showed me the other shoes his son had got from UN...which are prob all 100% ...but these they got from UN...just sold them to him thru his CC straight up retail..(obv fakes) but he knows nothing aboyt these kaws 4 which I believe him...he had no idea whats going on..

as for the validity of these kaws 4, from earlier:

..stitching was off, theres no Jordan 4 bump in the back, materials felt cheap in hand, the bottoms traction and stars were off...and the KAWS label in the inside tongue was starting to unglue off...just overall bad quality that a premium shoe like KAWS would not be reflecting
 
if that dude can provide the credit card transaction and the receipt and pictures of the fake kaws all in 1 photo, I'd say thats a pretty good case to get this incident publicized where people will have to actually start paying attention and be warned of Urban Necessities shenanigans 
 
stitching not a good indicator of fakes, saw this pic off a legit pair

sidenote, ed norton not in rain man.

yea sounds like bad UAs! UAs for the Royals are turning out better than the legit ones

Ive been looking at various Kaws UAs and wow are they about just spot on....think newer ones are coming out soon to fix a few areas ppl been pointing out

Dustin Hoffman was rain man
 
okay so if a UA is better than legit retail pair (quality, craftmanship etc...) does that make those UAs a 102%er

Not yours but the guys.
..seriously, I do believe he bought them from UN...after looking at them aand I drove off, he texted me later saying from looking at his bill, it was from urban neccesities, the one in  LV boulevard mall....I mean I don't think he has anything to gain from telling me this...bc once I saw those as fakes, I asked him repeatedly where did he get them from, which site..

it was his son that bought the shoes, but his cc was used so he sees the bill...he told me on the receipt/ bill it didn't say anything about it being fake, or UA so he said he was gonna try to get a refund...I told him GL.

But sold at retail?

Ask him for pics of the shoes with the receipt?
 
What if... his kid bought a different pair that was reselling for around the retail of the kaws and had some fake kaws already. Instead of telling his dad he bought some other pairs that was legitamentally from UN he decided to lie to his dad and gave him the fake kaws he bought elsewhere so the kid could keep the legit pair?
 
I think you're giving too much credit to a kid that uses his dad's card and still get the sneakers taken away.

of course it has. i know people that have been buying around 1300-14 just to list on grailed at 18-19...and theyre ok with that because its worth it to let it sit for a month or two and gain that 400-500$. i wouldve never thought of that if someone didnt tell me. 

i will say normally and even with these i wasnt looking for much on day 1 but nobody on here wanted to meet the price. wanted 1400 after fees etc. which...for day 1 really wasnt bad at all. rather sell here especially with a shoe like this because ppl here arent gonna screw you.
