Nike x Fear of God Collab - Official Thread (Air Raid F&F IG Shock Drop 10/8 )

[marcus.chi]

I'm team size 9, and never hit on hype releases without calling in favors. I'm gonna try something different for this Bone FOG1 and go for a different size. Let's see what happens

I have the black pair of fog 1s which I paid resale for so I'm retail or bust on the bone colorway. I like them but like the black pair better so I'll be OK if I only end up with the one pair for now. But they are definitely a dope shoe.

If I end up striking out on retail Bones I can see myself picking up Bone SA if prices are similar to the black one now. After this release I'm done for a long time. The game is exhausting these days.

Haven't done much research. Only thing I've found is that in fakes the clear sole is soft, not firm rubber.

can someone tel me their size 10 box shape. like is it a complete square that the lid can rotate which ever way?

and secondly picture of their lace locks, the clear one, i have a very clear lock. which kind of raise red flag for me already

Box is not perfectly square so the lid doesn't fit every way. My locks are opaque not very clear.

this enough to warrant they arent right?

These are really comfortable. I ran some errands, and the 3M on the toe cap was shining by some people reactions . Overall I’m happy with the shoe. I went TTS. They are snug at first, but once they broke in the fit was perfect.

Can you send us the eBay listing link? That’s usually telling

I don't think those are legit.

i see that he listing another size 10, so it is definitely gonna be red flag. tempted to just send it box of bricks or cut up shoes...but karma.

Comparing pictures with the pair I have in hand. The midsole color looks a little off. Not sure if it’s the lighting. The zipper area has a wider gap. There isn’t a big gap between the cage that’s glued down. It’s minimal on the FOG1. Like someone said previously, clear lace locks are a dead giveaway.

send those back asap.

Glue marks are present in legit pairs, but the ones in your picture look OD - especially the back. And is it just the lighting or is that outsole white? The Black FoG1 has more of a creamy/yellowish outsole.

hmmm...the second pic with the "V" does make them look a little fishy....there should definitely be some spacing between the midsole and TPU cage....at first i thought it was just a difference in sizing, but I also have a sz 10 and mine has about an .5 inch of spacing between the front of the midsole and TPU cage.

The lace locks are the same "clear" as mine, don't know what the red V is intended to show but the texture on the toebox looks off, it's supposed to be smooth suede, yours looks like leather. The tag on mine is almost the same as yours, even the dates, only difference is the 2027 number before the UPC.

These too, midsole/sole is bone colored, not white, yours looks white, and the zipper gap I hadn't noticed. Good eye!

Edit: Understood what the red V is about, yeah, it does't make a perfect V, it should make more of a U.

 

[nunya]

Also, none of my pairs had that white cardboard inserts that are on the ebay listing.

I didnt get a size 10 but i can confirm that its not a perfect square. Lid doesnt fit all ways.

If you look at the user reviews from that seller, someone left "Debatable authenticity" as feedback. All the signs are there for this person to be selling fakes. He's got a UNC OW Jordan 1 for sale wit Stock X stickers and hangtag. Call me crazy, but I think if you bought off Stock X you'd probably just sell on Stock X if you wanted to get rid of that shoe for whatever reason. There are fakes now that come wit those tags.

Maybe it’s the picture, but the opaque lace locks I have aren’t as clear as those. But aside from that, the midsole looks a different color and i didn’t even notice that the toe cap looks like tumbled leather and not a nubuck/suede.

The whole "fight scammers" part of the listing is also a red flag, so is his feedback and 75% positive.

 

[marcus.chi]

Toe box is the most egregious flaw on these fakes...definitely a different material than the real ones.

I think mine are pretty similar in color, could be lighting as you say, but the mechanism is a bit different. My springs appear to be thicker, and the plastic piece where the spring is rolled is larger and has a different shape. Also the button you press to unlock says EC60.
