Agreed on the "craftsmanship". It's not like these weren't hand made, don't get me wrong they're nice but for the price tag these should be better.

I think in today's Jordan brand standard it is considered high quality with the suede materials

I also agree with your comment on craftsmanship. Its not great, but I would still say it is exactly what you are paying for. 2nd rate premium materials with mediocre assembly in an oversees factory. Better than your average shoe, but definitely not something to worship. Dont get me wrong though, still a nicely designed shoe.

Nope...package has been stuck at the major depot about 3 hours from delivery address since 12/6.
UPS has an investigation opened but no update at this point and I've emailed KAWS about the situation with no response...

C'mon now. Y'all sounding a little snobby. Quality is at least as good as the Bordeaux 5's that retail for $400 straight from Nike. At least mine are.

I think resell is low on the black pair because this raffle was a lot more fair so more part time or first time resellers won. The professionals, the ones with the boutique connections, the time to stand on lines all day cleaned up. Wasn't the museum a disaster?

Can someone PLEASE help LC my pair of Kaws, I'm really conflicted as to whether they are real or fake?
Purchased for ~$800 in an ebay auction that I literally found in its last 60 seconds.
The signs that I know of that seem to check out are:
Waffle holes look good
Clear soles
Handprint design on dustbag aren't thick/blurry
Heel text and hangtag text aren't T H I C C
I know that a new batch of these reps came out within the last few months which I believe got the waffle holes and sole right so I wanna make sure I haven't been screwed over.
The thing is though, the accessories seem to be on point. For example if you compare my dustbag design to:
My design is much thinner which is as expected with retail pairs.
One other thing is the soles, supposedly http://www.cssbuy.com/photo/view.html?type=o&id=MjE4OTk2 is the newest batch and my soles still seem to be much clearer than this batches soles, thoughts? I appreciate any input.
I think one other thing is also the jumpman on my hangtag is a matte black whereas I believe it's a glossy black on fakes? I'm reaaaallyyyy hoping some people respond so I can get a definitive answer.

Snobby shouldnt be the best word of choice....
Yes, for some this shoe will be considered wonderfully crafted and attentive to detail. For others, this shoe's "quality" (not asthetics, or design) is just meh. All I, and others probably, am trying to say is that I've seen better. Not to say they are bad or that they aren't worth what you are paying for. I, personally, am not amazed by its assembly. However, I am amazed by its artistic values and overall design.

Fair enough...that might be the wrong wording. And true, they're no Hender Scheme's but for an understated monochrome shoe, the materials and the construction (at least for my pair) are of good quality.
Perception of quality can also be subjective depending on if you paid retail or not.

It's a combination of the people that wanted them got them, no real rigging. Also the others were the people that really wanted to sell quick and offloaded asap so there's a lot flooding the market. Like people are citing it's the end of the holiday season and nobody really has money to spend in general until tax refunds come around in Feb-March. Bought a pair along with my raffle win anticipating it will go up.

Yup you could say the drop in prices is the result of what happens when a raffle is done right lol

Quality is very subjective to the person holding the shoes.. end of the day, these are still made in China .. I have a pair of real nice LV sneakers, hand made in Italy and are by far the most beautiful pair of quality shoes I've ever owned..now people are not exactly lined up to pay nearly $900 for indisputable quality and no hype LOL ..
Are the KAWS nice? absolutely. Do they have nice details? yes, Are they better than nearly all other JB releases, probably most likely lol

I hate to break it to you but I pretty sure these are fake. The shape looks off, the bottom lace hole squares are the same size, they should go from small at the bottom to big at the top, and the font on the size tag looks off too.

Bro. I also think they are fugazi bro. Check the heel tab letters again. They dont look right. Check out the "AIR". Letters dont look right.

My only other exorbitantly priced Jordans (by retail price) are tan pinnacle 1s from 2015. The Kaws 4s don't hold a candle to the pinnacles at all. I'd even say my $160 retail air max 1 pinnacles have far better quality than the Kaws 4s. I understand y'all wanna justify your $400 or $800 or $1,200 purchases, but face the facts - they're good, not great. If Kaws 4s are atop your list for "quality" I would definitely suggest exploring other brands and shoemakers that give you a better product for $350.

Yep they are getting better in fake but still looks fufu. Go on a .cn site and you will see this exact same pair.

I think we're forgetting the part that this is a collaboration between a highly regarded world renowned pop artist (Kaws) and basketball's GOAT (Jordan). This shoe is about the collab; the quality put into the shoe is just an added bonus - and the quality is not as bad as some of ya'll make it to be.
