Grey market discussion thread (Let's keep the discussion mature) Rules on pg 1 please read before yo

So once the GM Concords starts yellowing it's game over, right?

No way to tell them apart anymore.

CF plate will always look off, easy tell. Bred XIs are hard to tell at this point because all the things I've seen off on GM pairs I've seen on authentic pairs also.

Yeah, that was basically my point. I had just never seen one week apart.

I've seen longer and you have to take human intervention into consideration, I've swapped the left or right from 2 pairs in store before and sometimes when I get 2 pairs from ndc.

Can someone help me out...I am trying to determine if http://www.footwearoftheday.com is legit, or grey market?

They take PayPal...prices are reasonable...and they show videos of their stock.


What do people think?

Jordan's for under or around $200? Defiantly GM. With $15 shipping also... I bet all their shoes are identical to RD pairs...

**** it Paypal pay them. Worst comes to worst, you get a free GM pair of shoes.

 

[joeyd12]

Sorry noob here, what's a RD pair?

Saw that site earlier and there were only a hundred likes. Now they have 3k likes. Fishy.  

GM for sure, the prices are reasonable too, plus you don't have to wait for weeks to get the items.

They take Paypal and like the other guy said, worst comes to worst, you get a free GM pair. 

 

[joaridran23]

Those prices on their homepage are bs. When you add to cart its like 50 bux more. BS

I didn't have this problem...

 

[joaridran23]

chatting with them now. They don't have their ish together at all. The homepage prices are much less than the actual product page. I WOULD STAAAY WAY AWAAY from this site.

 

[joaridran23]

If concords were the 179 it says on homepage I'd take a chance but in my size 10 they are like 240 shipped. UMM no way.

 

[quise2024]

It's almost like kicks crew. Price depends on size. Lowest price is prob for those size 8s. $244 in a 12 for SJ .. Meh .. Not the worst u could pay. If u dnt like u could get ur money back and keep? Doesn't sound too bad

 

[htxstunna]

^^ that price caught my eye but now i'm like nah... If anybody gets any pairs post em for refernce

concords for $180...



either a scam or i dont know. havent seen a GM site other than taobao sellers offer them that low.

either a scam or i dont know. havent seen a GM site other than taobao sellers offer them that low.

$180 isnt for the bigger sizes though, i think total would come around prob the same as the SJ. I didnt check concords though

 

[AWOKEN CHARISMA]

Ima check on them right now..

 

[joaridran23]

bottom line....If its too good to be true it probably is.........IMO Believe me I thought about it almost checked out and said this just doesn't feel right. So X'd the browser. You all do you tho.

 

[deezrsackolishus]

The pics he posted have none of those things on them tho... not a single one.

We're talking about the GM pairs Lewi posted.

The NDC pair looks worse than the GM pair. Most people on this thread couldn't tell the difference, they even guessed wrong. I find it pretty odd that you could miraculously tell the differences, when all of us had no idea...for the most part.

your telling me you could tell the GM pair was on the right? Since it has a mushed 23, smaller cotton tab And higher patent cut? lol

View media item 472270

Yes dude. I could tell. I posted 15 mins after he pit that pic up. With the quoted response REposted right above that post u just quoted.

 

[joaridran23]

I hope they are authentic for you. Like I said I was almost there. The vids are great it just sounds too good to me. But like I said I wish you the best.

 

[deezrsackolishus]

I posted tht right after he put the pic up.

And those tell tale signs are clear on the gm pairs of xi i have seen. Be it concords jams cg or black n red

Ill do a little research and determineif Id like to make a purchase with your store, thx for your time



Susan - USA



Ok very good, please let me know if you have any other questions.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never buy off of any other places other than ftl, fnl.ndc.champs,footaction,eastbay..
She never said if they was verified for sure by nike, though she did state "yes absolutely", she never said if pairs she sent to flight club and nike were deemed authentic..

I once ordered from PYS back in the day, Bought Pure $ 3s,, and all seemed fine with them ,but I still sold them ..Mainly because I was unsure about them, probably was being paranoid,but I didnt want them amongst the rest of my 100% authentic pairs , almost liked they was diseased and would contaminate my Authorized retailer bought pairs 

..

In conclusion Im still leery of footwearoftheday, or any non nike authorized dealer,, plus they got fsr,, seems to good to be true..

The videos convinced me to go for it...

how come they dont take full pics of the shoes?

Might be a good question to ask the customer service?

i checked out the site and even the video didnt have whole shot of the shoe just angles..

1st production run from SDS on top

1st production run from SDS on top

December 2011 NDC release pair bottom

patent on the top pair is low along the side.

yeah i noticed that angle stuff too with that site. The videos were clean though, but with only angles. Prices and FSR automatically scream GM to me, but everything is looking on point guess on those who order can tell.

ill wait for those who did to post pics

[castomere]

So, I just ordered a pair of Green Glow 4s from the Chinese eBay 

 and  my agent said that the shoes will be ready in 3 days.

Are they going to use that time window to steal them away from the factory?
