THIS. How can GM royals still be coming out the factory 6 months after release?
Guys no one will really know where these shoes are coming from. Unless someone actually goes to china to find out.
Idk that they did or didn't run out but if there coming from the same factory shouldn't the materials be the same? and im referring to the older grey market royals .Im just confused how come they can produce a grey market legit 09 space jam but seems like there's no more grey market royals.where are you getting this run out of materials? they are just straight up fakes.
there might or might not be GM royals. Probably are but maybe they are long gone and supplier ran out and got fakes sent to everyone. Like i said, a legit seller thats not know by USA buyers who has the highest rating possible has all legit shoes then he has the same royals.
So it's not possible for a seller of illegal merchandise to hold both high quality fakes and GM shoes? Plenty of replica sites now have an "authentic" section that caries GM shoes. Doesn't sound unreasonable at all. As always it's the consumers job to know what they're buying.
There's nothing he can do about them but beat them up. Knowing him he doesn't like fakes which may lead him to end up wearing them lying to himself its 2001 mold made.Zyzz, what are you gonna do with your fake pair?
Cost effective??? So your saying that the Air Jordan 1 is less cost effective to make speaking from a tech and materials stand point then say a pair of 11s? I think the air unit and carbon fiber alone would say your wrong. It's not cost by farI'm not sure why this is concept is so hard to grasp. As long as you have to proper recipe you can make cookies whenever you want right? Same goes for these factories. Nike doesn't own anything but the design of the shoe. They don't own the factories or the materials. All Nike owns is the design. They hire these factories and provide them with the "recipe" to make their shoes. From their the factories order or make the proper supplies and materials to produce these shoes. As long as the factories still have the proper tech pack and molds they can reproduce a shoes as many times as they want for as long after release date as they want.
Like I stated before there is a reason there they aren't reproducing these royals they way they were originally. And it's not because they ran out of materials. Because once thy run out they can order more just like they'd do for regular production. There's just something that isn't cost effective about these shoes. Something about the combination of materials or the way these shoes were made/put together is costing too much. That's probably why Nike had such a small number of these made and why the Factories are not reproducing them true to form. Something about these shoes just isn't a money maker.
So all the other GMs are real but the royal ones are fake????
I mean how does that sound honestly
They had a real run now the supplier is pushing out fake ones??
Sounds like your making up stuff as you go. Another assumption being passed off in your last couple post.
SjS and and concords a couple pages back looked decent though
to be honest, i think they're all fake (the factory that most these taobao sites are getting their kicks from— ex: rstor, kinstor, etc).
they've just perfected a few models (like the 3's, 4's, & 11's).
Zyzz, what are you gonna do with your fake pair?
I would bet they run out of certain materials. Whatever materials nike authorizes and pays for specifically. Why do you think all the royals look the way they do? If they didnt run out of materials, they wouldnt look any different but they do. Nike uses the factories but im sure certain things are ordered in special for different shoes.

That i can't say for sure because people posted way back that they've seen pairs that from early on that were not what we're dealing with now. Regardless though these royals are fake and I don't believe anything "dried up" either they consciously decided to stop making them or never made them to begin with.The point is there were never selling GM royals in the first place. Everybody on here has got a bunk pair from the looks of it. Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen anybody here or on YouTube that's had a decent pair. So to say they magically ran out is crazy.
Quick story that may be of interest to some of the posters in here (or maybe not).
I work for one of the huge consumer products companies, with a large share of our product manufactured in China. Couple of weeks ago, we shuffled the seating arrangement on our floor. My new neighbors are part of the legal team that fights piracy. One of the team members had two copies of a product on her desk, so I asked her about them.
She explained that one was an authentic product while the other was made by a licensee whose license had expired, but was continuing to produce product. There was a minor, but noticeable difference between the two. She explained that while they obviously had the know-how and molds required to produce the product, but no longer had access to the same materials because we did not allow them to source the materials themselves. Our supply chain team sources materials from Party A and ships them to Party B in prescribed volumes.
If Nike follows a similar approach, this could explain a) why many GM shoes are very close, but have slight differences (think the lining on the DB4s) and b) why the latest Black and Royals have far different materials.
Exactly. That's sounds spot on to me. So if they r not authentic, then?Quick story that may be of interest to some of the posters in here (or maybe not).
