This is a response to page 384 & 385 of the Yeezy thread which now appears to be locked:
384
385
So I had stated earlier that I would leave this topic alone but I was so focused on my own dilemma that I had not considered the community. After carefuldeliberation I feel it is my responsibility to NikeTalk to expose my dealings with the Rivera's (Uncle Sam 1013 & William Rivera 3).
A pair of Nike Air Yeezy's in the black/pink colorway in size 10 was sold to me Saturday evening for $600 by Uncle Sam 1013 & William Rivera 3.Apparently, I had outbid another fellow NikeTalker who was already promised this same pair for $550. Unbeknownst to me, I was sold a pair of B Grade sneakers(please see exhibit A) and was not alerted to the fact that there was visibly a factory defect. The strap on the right shoe has virtually no Y all overdebossed print. It appears smooth like the strap on the upcoming Tan colorways (please see exhibit B, C & D) while the left shoe is fine. This pair ofmismatched Yeezy's could easily pass for counterfeit and are clearly B Grades and should have been presented as such. I have attempted to contact theRivera's to request a refund to no response. Instead, I discovered earlier this afternoon, Uncle Sam 1013 posts an indirect rant towards me about mymisgivings and meanwhile William finds this whole situation amusing...
Ladies and gentlemen of NikeTalk, I have presented you with the facts and the evidence supporting it. In closing, I want you to ask yourself, would you pay$600 for B Grades? Would a request for a refund be out of the question?
Buyers beware of all the Rivera's and the shady resellers out there. I'm taking one for the team this time and I hope my little unfortunate incidentdoes not happen to any of you. I understand many of you do not know me and you may consider me a newcomer but rest assured I've been an NTer for quitesometime and have been a sneakerhead for much longer. It saddens me to see how the game has evolved over the years. I understand times are tough but it seemsto be more about the resale value and less about the shoes these days...
Thank you all for listening.
