Shoepugs has a bunch of pairs for $200.
ive said this before and ill keep saying it. nike def going to get into the resale game. you think they give a **** about consumers? lol. same **** happened with ticketmaster, resale is here and its here to stay. control the market by offering official authentication for a fee. cash in on not only the first sale, but EVERY resale thereafter? if you dont think a megacorp isnt going to jump on that...Lol nike reselling their own shoe would be nuts, and a complete slap in the face to consumers.
Haha thanks for the mention!!You are for sure on to something. Tony Diamonds is really running most of this. verse001 can tell some crazy stories.
Ticketmaster been doing this for years.Lol nike reselling their own shoe would be nuts, and a complete slap in the face to consumers.
At a minimum they should offer better authentication methods such as what they are doing with the QR codes. At best just make more shoes but that would ruin their marketing strategy and the fomo theyve bred into their consumer base pretty much since the Air Jordan.
scroogemcduckin lol I’ve been in this game for 20 years almost - think half of my IG following is Dunk shops etc
What is that? Sorry if it's a dumb question. Is that basically a snapshot of all the confirmation emails using a bot?I’ll just leave this here for people that think copdate is legit
Nice pickups! Wish I had the hook up on those Street Hawkers. They look too nice to skate or even walk in.35 pages scrolling down the rabbit hole been taking a short break from the social media. I just needed to reset my self from everything.
I Hope everyone is okay and doing fine ..... here’s my last pick ups —- first hit on SNKRS with hawks and premier access both rare wins
To follow up with my earlier post. It was r/Repsneakers My retail pair of SB Dunk Atmos Elephant, size US 11 for LC/QC purposes where there was a conversation about fakes. No idea what H12 and ts666 are but they sure do look real to me. How can anyone tell the difference?
Yea. I just don't want to pay 400-500 for a shoe when it's fake. I bought some Dunks off of Stadium Goods and Check Checked them. They ended up passing, but after seeing these replicas look almost like the real ones, I was a little skeptical.The tags and sole stitching. Slight color and shape differences. But on some of the better fakes, you can't really tell unless they're side by side with retail. And even then, if they're both on-foot, you probably couldn't tell unless you were studying them like a math book. It's the number one reason I won't **** with buying resale anymore. Too much greedy sleeze trying to pass reps off as retail.
To be clear, I have no problem with people wearing reps. Wear what you like. A shoe is a shoe. Just don't be out here flipping them for ill-gotten gains.

Everything is fake in r/Repsneakers. Reps are fakes, and that sub talks ONLY of fakes.To follow up with my earlier post.

No offense, but you are pretty lost in the sauce...

i worked at ticketmaster when all this was going down. we played it as "consumer protection" because it would ensure they don't get fake tickets. nike can easily do the same. meanwhile scalpers have become glorified affiliates and ticketmaster chops some off the top for facilitating the sale.I always wondered how Ticketmaster gets away with that. Seems like some sort of conflict of interest or something.
In shop raffles or live stream raffles. I wouldn't trust in store raffles unless they were done where customers have the chance to see them. I'd have to believe that once the shop get the sneakers, they get at least 2 of the same sizes. Then they hook themselves, their employees, friends, and family up. The rest is up for grabs to the public. By then what's really left? Last time I entered a raffle approx. 108k entries. Statistically, it's not even worth it to me. For me, I chased the CD's and had over 100 entries. Bought stuff in the process to get an extra entry. I didn't win any of them.i worked at ticketmaster when all this was going down. we played it as "consumer protection" because it would ensure they don't get fake tickets. nike can easily do the same. meanwhile scalpers have become glorified affiliates and ticketmaster chops some off the top for facilitating the sale.
at this point resale as it stands today is not going away, and there is no amount of bot protection you can do that wont eventually become obsolete. so its a complete sunken cost into a non-revenue generating stream, so it is completely unsurprising to me when they don't really do a whole lot to fight bots besides a captcha. the only real answer to cutting off bots is to not make them available online in any way. in-person shop raffles only. and i think we all know that isn't going to happen.
It is. Here in Aus, the state I live in passed laws a few years ago to regulate ticket reselling. Companies like ticketmaster got a big slap on the wrist. Law now states tickets can’t be resold for more than 10% of original value. There is no way lawmakers here will allow a company like Nike to sell their products on a secondary market at crazy inflated prices. It would be a massive breach of consumer law.I always wondered how Ticketmaster gets away with that. Seems like some sort of conflict of interest or something.
All you can do is put in the work. Enter raffles. Make friends in the community. Make friends with a shop owner. And even all that is still usually not enough.Yes, I know that they are fakes on there.
I admit I am on some things with how the Dunk game goes. I'm hoping that I didn't buy one of these that got passed off as authentic.
So if I want to cop a real pair, what would be my best method? Bot? Sucking up to a skate shop owner?
So true! I was really suspect about the Travis Dunks that I got from StockX. But what am I going to do? If they're fakes, they're good ones. Screw it.While I don’t condone fakes, I do feel like once you already paid resale from an authentication service. and bought the shoe, it’s pointless to sit there and stress over whether it’s fake or not. This hobby is supposed to be fun, not stressful. With that in mind, I’d assume legit unless something was really off about the shoe.
Especially with Nikes QC, many of the people running around screaming fake are really just pointing to common problems with mass produced sneakers
I’ve seen pairs in here that came straight from Nike with serious errors that not even a fake would have
I can’t count how many times I’ve been hit up by someone that’s losing their **** about some shoe that they way overpaid for in the first place. It’s like Bruh, they are probably fine man quit tripping and definitely stop DMing everybody you know for a legit check LOLSo true! I was really suspect about the Travis Dunks that I got from StockX. But what am I going to do? If they're fakes, they're good ones. Screw it.
And if Nike starts its own check check like service for a fee? The money is going to be inserting themselves as a key and valued part of the resale process. They don't even have to perform the actual sale, and would have zero liability.It is. Here in Aus, the state I live in passed laws a few years ago to regulate ticket reselling.
