Yea, I agree. I'm not sure why pairs aren't being flagged more on eBay since that's where his remaining inventory is being sold off. But then again, I'm sure nobody leaves a negative review for something getting "flagged" and not making it through the authentication stage. That's as far as the negative reviews go.
I don't know enough about fakes to say why those superfakes can get through. I know there are users on here who are pretty familiar with the rep factories and batches. I know patent breds were pretty spot on and I assume same with the UNCs if so many were able to get through sx verification. I think the real problem with those secondary resell platforms is that it truly is about volume and if the authenticators spent too much time on verifying one product that'll back everything up. Those 3-10 second "LC's" are not a good measure of telling if a product is real. Someone said they have tech where they can scan the footbed, stitching, etc. for a shoe. That should be done on everything coming through, but that'll take too long so it's supposedly only used for product over a certain dollar amount.
I try to buy something pretty close to release (maybe like 2 weeks or so after a release) so that the fakes aren't as good. That's if I strike out and decide to actually fork over resell. For things like these OW4's I want or even the OW Chi 1's, I'm definitely worried that it's been out for so long and that there are superfakes. I'm definitely hesitant to fork over 1k+ just to get a fake that passed authentication on any platform. I follow Kobes a lot and even the kobe 6 protro has some pretty good reps. But you can def tell minor things like shape, color, stitching but only with a real authentic pair side-by-side. To the naked eye and causal person just walking around, it's tough.
