I don't want to post anymore in this thread, or make anymore mentions of WB, so I'll state my peace and move on.
The site's customer service was subpar, if not terrible. That's not up for debate from anyone. I ordered from the second "batch" and my order took about a week over the estimated time to even be shipped out. I was patient though cause it's a pair of shoes that I likely won't be wearing for a bit. It's unfortunate that other people had it worse. However, maybe that's why Whip didn't want to spread the site out to too many people?
While it's understandable that part of running any business is maximizing profit margins, a two-man operation (from what's likely a side hustle) can get overwhelmed quickly if a whole new wave of orders just swoop in within a matter of days. It's evident that they had a customer base prior to this release as a lot of the older stock was listed as "sold out." Could that have been a lie? Sure. But I can only base my opinion based on what I read and see. A lot of what was going on in this thread was quite the opposite: people were drawing conclusions from the gate. And again, understandably so. The sneaker game has turned into a scheme or scam for many so there's a lot of "high quality" fakes floating around and even more shady business (side note, this is partly why I stopped collecting for a while; the fun of it all had been sucked out).
A lot of "trolling" was going on in this thread. Probably more than I've seen on any message board that I've been a part of. Mature interactions were few and far between. Simply a bunch of people going back and forth before any solid evidence had come forth. What part of the game is that? Now that Whip is gone, some of you even want to hear his side of the story, which is cool, but few wanted to hear from him just even a week ago when the brunt of the blame lay on him. If this is really a community, we gotta do better. Is WB accountable? Absolutely. They clearly bit off more than they could chew. Is everyone in here as innocent and high and mighty as they claim to be? Nope. Repeating "Fakes!!!" and positing memes doesn't help anyone here. Neither does an "I told you so" attitude. At the end of the day, at least people's claims are going through and their money is right. If you don't like WB, then don't do business with them now or ever; it's really that simple.
Remember folks, they're just shoes.
EDIT:
Agree on this thread being overdue for a lock. It's become about a totally different subject.
Dudes been lame on here for some years now, site started changing for the worse around 2012-2013
Too many youngins in here
Repped also, Great quote.
It's a shame that all of this has happened. As mentioned earlier in this thread, I received my pair on Thursday. Compared them to my boy's pair (he got em off SNKRS) and it seems like mine check out. Pics below to keep it transparent.

don't think anybody WANTED kdak to be fake. that's just how the idealists in the thread like you viewed anyone who dared to say that all wasn't what it seemed. turns out they were right and you were wrong and now you're trying to save face. how you gonna call people trolls and weirdos when it turns out they were right?Dudes been lame on here for some years now, site started changing for the worse around 2012-2013. I said from the jump, there were people in this thread that legitimately WANTED KDAK to be too good to be true, whether that meant selling fakes or not coming through. Bunch of weirdos. Either way, too much shady **** happened and I don't like people playing with my bread. Filed my claim and awaiting my money back, will never deal with them again.

-NT ModNot sure how people can be so comfortable buying from a random site pushing kicks with almost little to no references on being legit.
Be careful out there...
