Zadehkicks pre orders

[misha]

Two points that continually come up I want to touch on.....

- “he has a weed business.” Well everyone in Oregon and Colorado have weed businesses and if you do a little research you can see that very very few are profitable. Both markets are flooded and it’s so competitive it’s hard to profit.

- “all the sneakers pass stock x” I could rob a bank and get arrested 3 blocks away and decide to goto trial and beat the case on a technicality.... does me beating the case mean I never robbed the bank? Don’t let this go over your heads y’all.

Bro I read ur Reddit posts and ur delusional . Every other month u have a new theory why do You even purchase from him get a refund and don’t buy no more

I’ve stopped purchasing from him but don’t plan on asking for a refund because most of the shoes he owes were purchased for 150 and have a stock x payout of over 300.

I’ll agree I do bounce back and forth from the perfect reps to Ponzi scheme theory. I’m just glad I’m not in the delusional bunch who thinks his business is legit and he’s just short on employees or doesn’t have enough space in the wharehouse lmfao

Thank you for posting this.

Comparing a pair from Nike and a pair from zadeh doesn't conclusively prove anything and is an incomplete test. The test would be complete if you also compared a pair of reps.

as TexasDillo said, what value does bringing in a rep do for this comparison? Heck why not get another rep from tabao, another from Ali express, one from Lisa, one from Uncle Lin?

Let A = authentic
Let X = test pair (zadeh, rep1, rep2, rep3 etc)

If ( X does not equal A)
“congratulations, they’re fake”
Else
“congratulations, they’re legit”

The point is, it doesn’t matter if you bring in a rep into the discussion. It’s not a matter of how close /far Zadeh’s pair is to a rep; the discussion is how close/far a Zadeh pair is from authentic. In the latter comparison, Zadeh pair is interchangeable for rep/fake/UA/whatever. Authentic is your frame of reference that does not change.

Suggestions:
1. If people have his pairs and retail pairs and want to post pics, that would be great. People can draw their own conclusions regarding authenticity from these, even if not statistically significant sample sizes, should give us some general idea/comfort level (or not).

2. If people can post their experience this year regarding delivery times post RD, and canceled orders, that would be helpful.

I think we've exhausted the intellectual debate here, which I found helpful and interesting, but no need to continue debating what can't be proven (ex. his business model, etc.), as I think all points have been made.

Cheers!

No point lock this tread up shoes are gonna be legit

 

[pwguy]

I think this thread is useful for lead time discussion, etc. Agreed legit conversation has run its course.

 

[sole searchin]

So legit but just a wait.

I mean you preorder with the knowing that you won’t be getting them til possibly months later so it’s fine. Not like he’s trying to hide the fact.

 

[sneakaprince]

Zadeh pair is DS, Lightnings were a grail for me so it's one of the few instances where the Zadeh wait was too much for me despite knowing I had a pair preordered.

I don't regret the double up at all. I will probably wear these into the dirt over the next year or two.

Typical order is eBay pair on top Zadeh pair second.

For reference Zadeh pair is DS.

Lock thread. Two authentic pairs compared to Zadeh. Anyone saying he sells fakes is a hater

It's angle I looked at both closely and there is no noticable difference in person. You are likely seeing a change due to the glare from lighting.

I dont think it’s a fake shoe scam, I think it’s a money scam. Dude taking large money pre orders and not coming through and rolls to credit. Wouldn’t be surprised in a few years you hear about the **** shut down and he’s ghost.

Hmm would u kindly take them again in same position to prevent glare/reflection variation for educational comparison

I also have never heard of him not coming through on orders. Never had an issue with my orders

But I only but shoes that I know are releasing, compared to samples that were shown he puts up

lol bros we gotta chill. The forum needs this thread since it's going to be asked again and again, but two it does provide another place for us to buy from now or in the future.

This sort of thing also happened with Kicks Crew, which I've purchased from before and questioned as well. But without threads like this, I wouldn't have been able to confidently purchase from them, and then still do my own legit check when the sneaker came through. Now I have another option because of people sharing their feedback. Still inspect sneakers from them though.

Too many of you guys are leaping to the conclusion that "if it's too good to be true, then it must be fake." Again, business practices and pricing (defies basic economics of supply and demand though) doesn't mean his sneakers are fake. For all we know, his sneaker business could be a front - but that isn't the question; you can only determine if the sneaker is fake based on looking at the sneaker alone.

Doesn't matter if it is Zadeh; if he's pushing shoes on StockX or Goat or whatever, then buyers on those platforms are already buying from him already anyway. So yeah let's have this thread as an educational tool not a witch hunt with best guesstimates as to how he runs his business is a reflection of the authenticity of his supply.

Buddy said he sold over 300 pairs, not one rep.
And then said someone could rob a bank and get off on a technicality. That is such a horrible comparison. In what world do some of y’all weirdos live in

Zadeh

Retail/ eBay

 

[Kierris]

Hmm... It look darker on zadehs pairs than the retail pair and the Jordan tab on the Zadeh pairs are too flat. The shoe strings on the retail pair are more fibrous than zadeh's as well. This is why I give Zadeh his props, you can't even tell he's pushing reps unless you're really really paying close attention. Thanks for the pics sneakaprince

 

[206to813]

sneakaprince damn looks like u got a rep off eBay, hate to see it

I'd argue that once again you are looking at a glare, especially on the strings. You are also looking at a used pair vs DS pair. I get it though, I die on no hill for no man other than myself or my kid.
