Don't get your shoes customized by SMOKEcitykicks

[maxmaxjordan23]

So I was looking to get my Black/Gold 3's customized into Black Cement 3's. I asked around to see who would be the best person to go with. A couple responses said go with Smokecitykicks on Instagram. So I reached out, he said it would cost $120.00. So I sent him the $ and the shoes. He said he would give me updates on the process and would take about 2 weeks. On December 15th said he ordered the paints. On December 18th he says they should be ready in a week. After 4 messages asking if i could get an update , he finally says on December 30th "Bruh chill I got you don’t keep bugging me" and then says
"Ok I got you. I’ll be back in atl tonight. I’m a traveling electrician so I’m not in town since Monday. I got you bro" so then after another 5-6 messages from me and another 15 days, I send another message saying hey I have another pair and would he be able to do them, just to see what he would say, and low and behold he responds with "Send pics of the black and gold and yes info Is the same. I mailed your shoes yesterday" lol why would I need to send pics of the exact same shoe he SUPPOSDLY just painted for me. So then I respond ah thanks, can you send me the tracking!!! And NOTHING since. So he stole my $120 and my $200 pair of shoes. It really sucks that people just steal and lie like its nothing. I have the entire conversation on Instagram if anybody wants to see it.

So first Girl Thats Jules and now you? That's unfortunate. I'm surprised method or a mod hasn't banned him yet for scamming NT members.

I’d like to make a public service announcement. Stop sending your money to random people online. How many stories do you all have to read before your realise there are ALOT of people scamming. A large part of the shoe industry is people scamming the little guy. Just stop thinking it won’t happen to you.

 

[Girl Thats Jules]

I'll post how he scammed me soon.

We may have to find out who has been suggesting to use his services, they may be in on it too.

Not saying they are but we need to hear from them.

 

[Neocortex]

Lots of lying scumbags out there.

But your first mistake was trying to turn your bricks into Black Cement 3 replicas

Why is that a mistake. I have the 2018's and they are atrocious, this is a well made Black Jordan 3, and thought it would look good as a black cement 3. I also had 4 or 5 people vouch for this douchebag. Also it doesn't matter what I wanted customized, some piece of crap lowlife to lazy to get a real job scammed me and apparently other Niketalk members. Dude should seriously be banned immediately.

That’s one reason why I’m surprised that people on NT are willing to OOP random members who they barely know.

I had a great guy OOP me the Taxi 1s and it worked out…but he didn’t really know me and I didn’t know him.

I have a pair of Playoff 13s and I want to return the favor to someone else, but what if it’s someone I’ve never had any NT interaction with?

…it seems like a big gamble.

They are trying to sabotage my small but growing business. Another day as a black man in America. Same play that the beast pulled in Tulsa 1921, only today I am dealing with their descendants.

Why would “they” be trying to sabotage your small business?

So you stole his money and his shoes? Damn man, you are one deranged human being.

Don't feed into his nonsense, Smokecitykicks is a flat-out liar and thief.

He was in the General forum grave-digging threads telling people he can restore shoes just the other day, after he already scammed multiple people.

I don't know how he isn't permanently banned yet.

I beg to differ. My custom 2020 Unites are FAR better than my 2018 BC3s:

The work and craftsmanship speaks for itself. I didn’t scam anyone. If anything they scammed me. I’ve given multiple members discounts on NT.

So tell me how they scammed you, when they sent you money and shoes for you to do a job and they’ve received nothing in return? Who’s scamming who?

Smokecitykicks You do terrible work.

This re-glue is sloppy as hell.

Smokecitykicks why haven't you given maxmaxjordan23 his shoes or money back yet? Running a business, sometimes things will go wrong and people will not be happy on both sides but it really looks like you're straight out scamming maxmaxjordan23

He hasn't refunded me half of my money back either, $50.

I paid him for a reglue on a pair of shoes and he only did one shoe, the other shoe was completely untouched.

I have all of the text messages and pictures if you guys need to see.

 

[SteveSteve72]

Unfortunately I can't do anything about getting your money back. The only thing I can do is ban him. I was trying to give him a chance to explain himself.

In the original thread I called him out in he didn't even explain anything, as you can see he hasn't even addressed the stolen shoes and money. He won't address it.

One of the mods had to have read the whole convo because it was erased completely. I don't understand how they could have read that whole thread and not ban him or at least ask me about it since I was making the claims.

I just went back and read though that thread and he didn't explain anything. All he did was throw insults. I'll give him a little more time to respond but if he doesn't, I'll ban him and lock up this thread.

I was paid for a service I did. The customers for whatever reason weren’t satisfied. I offered solutions to both customers and mailed all belongings to the customers. All business was handled outside of the NT platform. These two people out of the many customers I’ve helped and done business with are deliberately trying to sabotage the smokecitykicks brand. I’ve never reached out to the members, they’ve contacted me through personal means outside of NT.
