Truth Behind Early Release Products
Every time prior to a big Jordan Retro release the debate of early release products is brought up. The answer to this question is that they are HIGH QUALITY FAKES. I will explain more in-depth throughout this post.
To start off with the sites carrying early release products such as Sole-Up.com, Sizelegend.com, and SneakerHotline.com purchase their stock thru a source such as Taobao.com. The site Taobao is a website which can be shopped on if you live in China only, I believe, however other Asian countries might be able to shop their. Anyways, The sites such as Sole-Up (air-randy), buy their stock thru Taobao and sell it to American consumers and other countries for marked up prices.
The price they are paying for the shoes is below retail, which points to the fact they’re fake.
How often do you see a shoe that retails $160 being sold for $140ish via a reseller? Not Often.
For example the Jordan 4 Bred releasing on Black Friday can be purchased thru the site Taobao for an average price of $135 USD.

The Bred 11 can be found on the site Taobao for $160 average and doesn’t even release until around X-Mas time.

Finally one final example is the Jordan 4 Thunder listed on Taobao currently for $155 average and doesn’t release until 11/17.

Last but not least some of these do not even say Genuine at all. Also for some that do say Genuine they say that you should not ask as it is asked to often.
If anyone has evidence to prove against me please do but until then I will stick to my conclusion.
