StockX reputation is being dragged through the mud on this release even though I’m not so sure that pair is even fake. The claim is the cactus embossing is off and the tongue length is off yet it’s been seen the embossing has been inconsistent from Nike pairs and the tongue length isn’t even lined up properly in the guy’s pic.

eBay is a great platform to use after a hyped release even though it has its issues as well. You can def get great deals from sellers who aren’t really into shoes and don’t know the true value that got lucky on the SNKRS app.

Definitely. This release has been a sht show since rep companies got a head start since the shoes surfaced so long ago before the official release date. especially a simple model like the Jordan 1. Stay safe nt fam
True. I had a pair of DS 2013 Fire red V's for sale on ebay a few months ago. I had them for $220 buy it now, which is a fair price. The only interest I got were people sending me dms lowballing saying they'd give me $120, $135 etc. They had been listed for more than a month, so I got frustrated and was like, hell with it I'll just keep them, so I cancelled the auction to just wear them.
The same day I cancelled the auction, eBay sent me a message that my account was flagged for selling outside of ebay. They obviously saw the dms and assumed that when I cancelled the auction I sold them outside of ebay when that wasn't the case. I mean there was no paypal invoice or anything. After that I just stay away from buying or selling kicks on ebay.

Completely agree. Was able to find steals for unions on eBay but if I didn’t have a pair straight from an authorized store to compare with I probably wouldn’t have taken a chance on eBay but again unions were easy to spot months ago. I don’t know how good fakes gotten now though.

I have to as well recently w/ og ow vapormax, 3 unions, fog 1’s, black ow am90, etc. Half of those sellers were established & the luckily the other half were 1st time sellers, but these shoes are different in terms of hype and the fact that a lot of us can’t depict a fake from a real via photo. Those shoes I mentioned earlier are easier to tell. Especially those fog 1’s

I swear every hour I’m hearing a Sure way to “tell” a fake from a real. How are you even supposed know if you don’t have a fake in hand with an authentic? The tongue is probably only less than an inch off and even then I’m sure people are going to over look that.

What was the outcome? Similar thing happened to me with StockX. The shoes (Ultras) I got were clearly worn. The tags weren't attached, the laces had been swapped out for some laces that didn't come with the shoe (though the OG laces did come in the box) and the box was beat up. I sent them a bunch of pics saying the shoes were not in brand new quality and they didn't agree so I filed a chargeback. I got my money back but StockX has until mid June to respond and my credit card could recharge me for it.

It is, to an extent. I would only cop off eBay the same weekend as the drop, and only from someone with a pair in hand and ready to ship. ( obviously they need good feedback too) Thats how I got my storm blue unions for such a good deal.
Once that first weekend is over, your risk of buying a fake goes up and up.
However this drop is dif and unlike any before as the fakes not only were ready at the same time, but damn near close in quality. So with these, not worth the risk. I’ve seen sellers with 100% feedback scam. It’s nothing new.

I’m curious....how do these “professionals” who can do legit checks know if the shoes are legit? I mean, If there are telltale signs, why haven’t people in this forum heard or shared what to look for exactly? So far everything we’ve read has said it’s “possible” to tell one way or another, but many of those have been disproven.

At this point I don’t care for the shoe.
I have a 20% interest in them, my seller shipped to goat so let’s see I def. wouldn’t mind having them hell I paid the premium but if goat says nah it’s fake, I will be moving on from this thread and this shoe.
When your hobby involves worrying it’s no longer fun so at that point remove the thing that’s not making it fun, which are these shoes.

Here's the biggest tell on fakes:
The debossed face on the heel is not nearly as indented into the material and the lines are not as defined on the debossed Cactus Jack face.
I believe someone here already posted the difference on this thread earlier in the week

I’m retail or bust on everything
Never have to worry about fakes
When I strikeout I’ll just be salty for a couple of days then just move on
It’s the best way imo

I understand what you are saying. Not only the resell prices, but also checking pairs for fakes over and over I've begun to feel like that. It's weird. Funny how too much hype, inflated prices, and so many fakes does this to me.

i completely agree bro. I've been eyeing those CPFM Vapormax & Green Sacai Waffle's for a good minute anyway. Plus i don't have to be super cautious about fakes w/ those.

I’m not sure this is the tell tale way to legit check against fake vs auth. Some authentic CJ 1’s have a “less defined” face on the back. Again, not every pair is going to be the same......Nike quality control is to blame.

Plus eBay buyer protection is top notch
Almost impossible to NOT be able to get a refund
