It's not just Asia: There are still a lot of fakes on eBay that come over from Asia. One of the things they (re-sellers) do in China is...they get a bunch of factory variants (or "Chang Huo" -- which refers to additional factory stock produced without Nike's knowledge), and mix it in with the...

FYI: if he's selling, probably don't wanna buy. The way the shoe boxes are tied up with the strings is the first dead giveaway of extra factory stock. That's how fakes / factory variants / extra factory stocks are delivered to those smalls reseller shops. I've seen em do that in China: they...

Hey.... Sorry for the messed up post earlier with the tacky attachments. I was trying to do it from my phone. I usually browse Niketalk from my PC so I used the "upload a file" tool instead of linking pictures. Background: I'm from SF, but I currently live and work in China. I used my...

Hey sorry let me give some more info here... As you can see from my post I copped in the morning, China time. I used the SNKRS app. China released it this morning today, earlier than the US, probably because of Chinese New Year holiday (a lot of shopping going on now). I’m from SF but...

Just copped...

FINALLY... thanks for that image.  I thought I was the only one who noticed that.  Ever since they retroed the mars and military blues, I have always complained about that.  Even drew some pictures like this for it back in 06 but no one gave a damn =\

Are they selling these back in the States?  I saw this in Nike Beijing and picked it up..kinda cool. (EDIT: Sorry about my earlier oversized posts, I didn't know how to resize my images from my phone ) My camera doesn't do it justice, but the gradient colors are kind of sick These shirts...

Hehe....you shoulda seen some of the dudes they hired in line... i'm sure you can tell from the pictures... when the employees look out... it's like: nuh uh, I know this guy ain't a sneakerhead from the way he looks or them kungfu shoes he's rockin. 

Sup Everyone, Here is my follow-up post about the aftermath in Beijing.  My original post was deleted because I accidentally broke a rule , so for that I apologize! So let me first give you the background on what happened: On the December 19th, me and two of my Beijing buddies were on our way...

Oh yea.... I don't recommend sillica packs for ALL jordans... I had 2 plastic bins of AJIII Fire Reds... one with sillica and one without. When I wore the one with sillica.. the paint cracked and the sides split open -- you could see it was due to dryness. When I wore the ones without...

Yea, he's right.  I checked all the Metallic 2011's against the Midnight Navys my friends in San Francisco got, and they all got the FLAT stitching.  Maybe JB is trying to save on thread now too.  It looks ok on the tongue, but damn, even the BACK jumpman on the hell is flat now, and THAT looks...
