That tag is easier to replicate than you think. If you know the typeface that they use, you can recreate it with ease. As far as the process, the lettering is ironed on, just like the Jumpman and Nike Air is on the inside of the shoe. but answer me this: lets say Air Randy has pairs of Red/White/Black Jordan 1s for sale and based them off the 1994 retros. JB hasnt even mentioned retroing these. Its okay to purchase them then?Originally Posted by sthebest
so why is it that he and all these other sites ALWAYS are da first to break pics of upcoming sneakers? and im not talking about just jordans, look at all those foamposites, look at daOriginally Posted by ninjahood
im sorry, but you don't get this type of stamp on a shoe if it isn't directly from a nike factory...its unprecedented.
This guy doesnt work with Nike and doesn't represent them
regular nikes like da duke uptempos, pippens, lebrons, etc. every single allegation thats been pinned on these guys as far as da kicks being flat out "fake" have all been circumstantial
at best. there hasn't been a "smoking gun" in this whole saga other then da fact that it was revealed that certain retros have been recently remanufactured, but if its all from authentic
nike/JB materials then i dont see where da foul play is other then how u morally look at whats been going down VS its intrinsic value.
Something is definitely shady about Air Randy. take the Dave White Jordan 1s that hes selling. No confirmed release date has even been set. And he's had pairs for sale during the summer. He has Banned 1s (a scrapped release that only were sold at select outlets in the United States), even though he's located in China. And he has pairs of other shoes for sale that have only been shown in a catalogue pic, such as the Pink GS IVs. If that doesnt spell suspect, I don't know what does. If you want to cop from him, thats fine and Im not going to judge you. But to sit up here and front like Air Randy is a authorized Nike retalier is perposterous.
da question isn't is if air-randy is shady or not, OF COURSE he's shady, he's like DJ clue in da 90's...son got tracks that weren't posed to drop for at least 6 months on a mixtape
da question is if he's merchandise, not matter HOW illicit they are obtain, are they authentic from a nike factory..and all signs point to a yes, especially with you running down all those
releases you named.
and what does "even though he's based in china" have to do with anything? 99.99% of nike's merchandise is manufactured in China.
