How would you? I'm interested to know.

i cry and sob "why dont they believe me!!" then i throw my shoes at them and run away.

[jordanpinoy]

id just shake my head yea and move along

 

[ogfiend]

I usually just kindly tell them that what I'm wearing is older and not so easy to find, and that all they have to do is go on niketalk or ebay and do 2minutes worth of research.

 

[xbiker47]

if there fake u just laugh and walkaway

 

[retrojtino]

Yo, how do y'all just get random people at a mall or whereever to approach you and tell you that you got on fakes anyway? I'll be damned if somebodywalked up to me, or vice versa to even look at my shoes that hard. I don't mean, oh everyone's scared of me or i'm scared of everyone else sothat's why i don't say anything. i mean what that actually looks like. picture the scenario. ******: "you got on fake shoes.", you: "noi don't." WHAT?!?!? a situation playing out like that just seems far'fetched to me. that never happened to me, couldn't picture it either.ANYWAY, if it were to happen to me(which i doubt ever would), i'd drop wutever knowledge i have about those shoes on em and makesure to criticise their footwork, especially if they're the ones wearin' fakes.

For instance, you were rockin' the blk/red lows, yes? MJ only wore those in the '96 playoffs against the knicks. No regular season, no other season.AND, the officials got an exclusive all black colorway of the XI lows. Many people don't know about that either.

FINALLY!!!...... found a pic =P:

 

[smoothkicks90]

this happens alot when i wear my lightning IV's

 

[ajmachine]

If someone came up to me talking about my shoes are fake I would not even listen and just keep on walking with a

. I would take it as a complement as if to say my shoes are so exclusive thatthey never seen them before

.

 

[thagreatj]

similar thing happened to me at a PHoenix/cavs game. i was tryin to get my Lbj bday 3's signed (only been out like a week) and i was tryin to talk to oneof the 4 horsemen dudes into gettin it signed and he to keep it short, never seen them and wouldnt get it signed. no big deal...

[sneakrkid]

I'll just mind my way and tell him to f*** off if he doesn't know his s***.

 

[ericthewindow]

Say ok and walk away
