Both sat deadstock and unworn in the closet until spring of 2010. Both boxes were identical, with the exception of a sticker with chinese writing on the underside of the pair from Promo-shoes.
The shoes themselves were IDENTICAL!! I saw absolutely no difference. As a matter of fact, both showed the same slight yellowing pattern around the pods near the blue rubber on the soles (the normal Space Jam yellowing pattern).
I also compared my flint 13's from SDS to my brothers from Footlocker. Again, identical. I almost want to saw the shoes in half to see the cutaway, but that aint happening.

It's honestly a moot point.
If the shoes are somehow deemed fake because of a misplaced tag and/or lighter carbon fiber paper, so what?
It has been the stance of NT to discourage and prohibit the discussion of sites that sell fake or variant shoes. But if it turns out that the shoes aren't fakes, but instead "write off" pairs that are just illegally solicited, what does that say about NT? We always want to get the scoop first, or be the first to get the images, or be the first to have and flaunt them. No, these sites aren't selling fakes, per se, but there's a thin moral line between fake and real, but not authorized for sell.
It ultimately comes down to this insatiable desire to have it first, secure a pair, or avoid the lines that someone will get got. You will never be 100% certain if your pair bought five months early is real or variants or write offs, because the fact of the matter is your conscience won't let you face the fact that they are stolen goods, even with all of the evidence.
Next thing you know everyone is going to start expecting their pairs and filing claims on unsuspecting sellers. Let's not open that Pandora's box. It will get ugly quick, as evidenced in this very thread.
I'd much rather camp and/or stay on the line with Eastbay for an hour just to have that peace of mind.Originally Posted by 19MushiMushi88

Seriously bro. I started watching The Challenge: Rivals after I got home, when I suddenly realized that I had some catching up to do in this thread. Left the show mid way through and haven't went back since.
And a bigat all the dudes still keeping faith that sds/airrandy are moving legit pairs. The denial with you guys is STRONG. Me, I'll keep it safe and wait it out. I'll cop a pair on RD and cop another when 23penny.com gets them inxx.

yeah, haha! what's it been since then, a good 20 pages at least?
took me forever to catch up this afternoon. was late getting to the gym. LOL! was even peeping it at the gym on my iphone between sets...
just crazy man, can't believe it but it seems like there's some SUPER ADVANCED fakes now... this is really gonna change the sneaker game. everything you thought you knew is out the window right now...
yes. the shoe game is changing. definitely for the better tho. for many years very high quality replicas have been bought and sold throughout the sneaker community. since the shoes looked so real and no one really fought against these sites to the extent we are taking today, these sites became "legitimized" by the public. soon, these replica pairs started to infiltrate the market and proliferated throughout. replica pairs were slanged knowingly and unknowingly on craigslist, ebay, niketalk, iss, and in some cases even returned to places like footlocker. to add the problem is the fact that Jay's loyal customers can not admit that they are being deceived. Logic, facts, and rationale is thrown away and no matter what evidence is presented to them they will defend their sites.Originally Posted by LadyExpensive
The shoe game is changing before our eyes..
This thread is like when we found out that a lot of rare Air Jordan Sample/PE's were actually being constructed by Lu in China.
Shoes were going for thousands on eBay ... no-one would have known.. It was unimaginable.

I feel like you will have 2-3 pairs on RD already tho
Haha.
i think it will change it for the good, might shut down the reseller's market . With so many suspect pairs in circulation once these go into circulation, it will be a huge risk, post release day to buy from a reseller, as chances are they could be fakes and it would suck even more if you dropped $300-$400+ of your hard earned cash on replica's, fakes etc.Originally Posted by DJ Proto J

I am 100% confident in what Nooblee has said so far. I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of early black and cement III's from SDS, but nooblee came in and let me know what the deal was with that siteOriginally Posted by eddo1005

We'll see. So far, AR and marquee are the two places that NoobLee has said for sure sent fake pairs. For SDS, he's saying Jay sent out real pairs to zyzz as well as posted pics of a real pair on his site. He said Jay's posting real pairs, but shipping out fake ones.....i.e supposedly concords with see through sole. However, he also said after seeing this thread, Jay might have sent the shoes back for some more doctoring, so the soles are milky...........crazy shiet.
nobody's SJs have the milky toe. only the cool greys do.Originally Posted by TheKing23
I don't think that milky look has anything to do with the shoes being real or not because who knows if the release date ones have milky toes or not.I know I purchased my SJ and cool greys from FTL and my SJ do not have a milky toe but my cool greys do.So I don't think you can tell going off that.Also I talked to Jay on Skype today and he said that their sitting at the computer laughing at all you guys on here yelling fakes and wanting a refund and to stop emailing him because he cancelled that account LmBo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He also gave me the heads up on these concords, so that was some more money saved. If the info of the space jam "restockremake" isn't enough proof that Jay is dabbling with fake product, then I don't know what is. You guys can take the chance, but for me, one bad apple spoils the bunch. I don't like having my money tied up AT ALL. I think we all get a little caught up in the moment but if we sit back and think about this logically, the answer would be clear. SDS has, what seems to be, an endless supply of concords that he is selling for less than 3 bills, rigggggggghhhhhhttttttttt.
Eddo, I don't think I've seen it posted yet, but have you filed a claim/asked for a refund yet?
