That sucks. You going to notify them?

Yeah I sent them an email with a couple pics explaining the situation. I have a feeling their customer service is going to suck.

 

[staffsgtdignam]

 
I don't see anything wrong.

JK. I'd be pissed too. Yeah, good thing it's just your double-up pair. I'd be even more upset if it was my only pair. I can totally see the uninformed not even knowing the difference if this is the only major flaw, especially considering how some would ignore such details.

Yeah it's unfortunate, this is only my 2nd pair I've ever bought from them but I could totally see an uninformed person putting too much faith in Stock X's legit check system and falling for the fake pair they send out.

Yeah I can definitely see an uniformed person falling for it. Hopefully, they will successfully resolve this for you. I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks man! Royals are my favorite 1s and this is actually the first shoe I've ever paid over retail for (silly me, huh?).

Those fakes look like better quality than authentics. Smh

 

[shaw333]

Grabbed sails for 11 over retail on end. Probably will regret once they actually drop here but oh well.

 

[patb23]

staffsgtdignam Could you explain what's wrong with your royals. I'm clueless telling the difference.

Well first off, the size of the box on the heel is different. Also, the stitching on the box is off-you have to look a bit closer to see this. Finally, if you look at how the leather is cut on the botton, it is cut much less sloppy on the Eastbay shoe on the right (to be fair this last reason could be a quality issue on JB's part).

Naw your not silly, I have several shoes that I really liked and had to pay over retail on.

Thanks for the insight. I was just thinking it was JB inconsistency. Repped.

Those aren't fake. Just bad quality control. Happens all the time.

Yeah, I finally cracked and grabbed a pair on sivas. Not even trippin on paying a few extra bucks, prob be a couple months til they drop in the states. I thought I remembered those yin yangs being released the same way, so I looked back at some blog sites. They dropped overseas in June and then released in the US in August.

That's the reason I was so hesitant to buy. The yin yangs were all that not coming here and now they're rotting everywhere at sub 100. At least these seem to have some good qualities

 

[ihavemyownopinion]

Am I the only one that's seeing those shoes as White and Gold?...

Is this like what was going on with that dress?

 

[dhtowng]

Sails came in looking dumb good af. Quality is there also. I'm happy with em .

Yeah, I feel ya on that.. I may grab another if they do hit the low. Just glad to get a pair while it's still summer since they're predominantly (off) white.

Did you just start buying Jordans?

That doesn't mean they're fake. That just means they might have been done in different factories, made at a different time or one person did a better job than the other.

 

[staffsgtdignam]

Different sized heel boxes? Seems like a pretty big thing to mess up

 

[cpf262]

Would be great to see more pics of those royals. I cant say fake based on that 1 pic. Stockx prolly gonna tell you the same thing.

 

[american psycho]

Yeah I couldn't believe it-they were really good fakes but the heel stitching was completely off on the pair I recieved. I'm glad they were were double up pair and I had an authentic pair for reference.


Stock X shoe is on the left, Eastbay on the right:

I got two pairs of black toes that have a different looking stitch on the heel. Actually looks like it should be a b grade that made it through. Both bought retail

 

[Getting_Busy_Since_89]

Few years bunch of fools who bought up royals and etc of stockx etc and didnt still verify authenticity gone be looking stupid smh

Here's another comparison pic..

Interesting. I wouldn't have bought these if I saw that they looked like this.
