I don't think it's an issue. Have you been to the JB forum latley? There was a sticky with FAKE XX3's. Not to mention the countless otherposts of fake XX3's recently.
I'm not buying from these sites or re-sellers. I do pick up kicks occasionally from PYS and I've never had any trouble. I appreciate the pics thatall these "insiders" or whatever supply to our community but 95% of the time I'm going out on RD to Niketown to pick my kicks up.

Yea, that has me stumped as well. If they are proven to be fake, I don't believe we should have those threads active. But, thats not my call.
Fakes aren't an issue for me. None are sold anywhere close to me, and I pick my stuff up directly from Nike Canada, Adidas Canada, ect. But to the casualNT lurker, they may not know this information when deciding on how to grab their next pair of kicks.

Flight Club gets shoes early as well.......are they going to be held in contempt as well? I think we all know using our gut instinct as to whether or notsomething is legit....Who cares whether or not it was stolen? Your country is built upon stolen land and people...
Why would anything else change? I'll wai till release date...and PYS.com I've dealt with many a time and never had a problem...

The thing is, everybody has degrees of getting over
I see people cheating by misusing promo codes/coupons and buying multiple shoes over the one per customer limit on a daily basis
Why is everyone acting like angels all of a sudden?
And I know for a fact some of yall have copped so post the damn pics already, sheesh
Maybe we should rename this thread the pickup post so we can see some damn results

Sorry to hear that babydill, it sucks that picture stealing and fruading has become commonplace. I was in awe though when my pictures were stolen from myphotobucket and were reflected to appear as a different picture. All that work for some e-props Poofy and simonsaiz?

Byronde,
The shoes are legit, from the most part they are stolen, although some may even be deemed B Grades if they remained in the factory, but they are not factoryvarients or fakes.
Disgrunteld Chinese Factory Workers doing modern day slave labor got to eat too.
Even if you buy your shoes from legit channels, one could still question the morals of buying from Nike/JBs whos business practice overseas could also bedeemed unethical in order for them to save a few bucks and cake out. Im sure a lot of legit PEs we've seen could be deemed 'stolen' too.
They are just shoes people, buy whatever floats your boat. If Nike really wanted to do something about it they would, but they wouldnt dare waste the capitalor profit that it would take to shut people like Randy down as long as we and the stores are still shelling out for their sneakers. Even when you buy from astore with a legitimate Nike account, you are still buying from a re-seller.
IMO Nike/JB should be more concerned about blatant fakes than sites like these.
These sites are promoting their products for free, and sometimes doing a better job than Nike/JB themselves!
Im sure with how greedy/smart Nike/JB has seemed lately with these overpriced 'limited' packs etc.
the loss factor from their stolen goods, has already been handed down to us the consumer.

I still don't get why people act like these shoes aren't made by sweatshop kids as if that's ethical
You're basically saying you'd rather get bent over by Nike exclusively

How was the summit Brian and thanks for the reply? BTW I didn't make this post to bash 160, and Heat23 I simply asked who had copped from these sites andto tell about the ir experience. I was interested in copping from Marquee becuase I don't want both shoes from the many of these countdown packs.

marquee sole and air randy sell stolen shoes, that were stolen from nike?
now dudes dont wanna cop from them because their shoes are stolen even though they are legit?
i dont buy from them but i just wanna kow.

and i think this is one of the main reason why they dont take more legal actions against them. why shall nike pay millions when this sites do it for freeand we all prefer some hi res pics over some scans dont we

There is a lot of knowledge in this thread.
I don't care what people do with their money, personally for me it would be foolish to spend that amount of money in order to have the shoe early. Itserves no purpose and only a small group of people, no females, will know of your "coolness" since you overpaid to get shoes early.
I have perks as well, but my perks only include getting the shoes I want at a steep discount. At the end of the day, if you get the shoe, you get the shoe. People could brag about dropping $300 bills to get the Countdown Pack XIII early (hypothetically), it doesn't matter. On Jan 19th we will both have thepack (hypothetically), except you paid $300 for one shoe and I paid $190 for two officially legit pairs.
For the initial three months you will be able to strut your shoes, but once I get mine, the fact that I paid a lot less is more important.
As you get older, getting shoes early loses it's luster (FYI - I have never received shoes early, and never really cared to get them in advance) and savingmoney becomes more important.
I just don't get the logic some people have when buying from these sites. The cons far outweigh the pros on this one. Some state that it is a perk thatthese sites split the pack. Why not pay a little extra to get both shoes instead of paying a premium on one shoe. If you don't like the other shoe in thepack, just flip it.

Oh yeah!? So why am I looking at a 10.5 on the Jordan 13 Countdown Package Retro right now on the site? Mind you for a paltry $310.

Ok, so yall are saying the shoe's are 100% authentic, but they air-randy and marqueesole aren't getting them legally?
And like I asked before, if these sites aren't legit, then how come we continue to use these guys' pictures for posts on shoes in the JB forum?
I'm trying to figure out, cause I was planning on buying from marqueesole.com.. but now I don't even know anymore.
