Yea I was on it and was a little scared because they usually have a much stricter captcha process with the tracing around the objects and other shyt. But I hit pure manual with all my info. Heard the shyt crashed afterwards and people are in 50+ min queues. Funny thing is I’m not even wild about these but I got all the other releases so gotta keep up with the collection
They were pretty easy to hit....copped two pairs...

Can you all tell me what's wrong with this pair from the pic....if you can't zoom in don't bother....

I’ve gotta be honest breh, I saw the back and forth you had with old boy in TLR, and I don’t advocate for or rock fakes, but the flaws you pointed out could have and will literally show up on legit pairs of Nikes and Jordan’s.

The only difference between fakes and legit pairs is at least if you bought em in store or online you could return or exchange em.

I just watched a Wear Testers video on YouTube of two pairs of 2 lows he bought and he had to return a pair because the outsole was so warped that you couldn’t lay the shoe flat on the ground. And even the pair he kept had the same flaw, but the one he kept was slightly better than the first.

And also he has a pair of Lost and Found 1s where the tooling was so warped that the left foot leaned to one side.

If his 1s or 2s were fake we’d all clown em for being shoddy, but since they’re legit we say it’s “bad QC”

The flaws you’re pointing out on the cherry’s above are more like bad QC and not signs of being fake.

In my opinion that is. You’ll probably disagree.

Naw they wont....that glue all over the heel is pretty bad....I've seen B grades many times and never seen no shyt like that... the stitching on the heel is shotty as fukk....when I get my pair in I'll show you....I've already seen these in person and they don't look like that...

Breh I feel you. I’m anti fakes too.

But one thing I know about Nikes and Jordan’s is even two pairs of the same shoe in the same size sometimes don't look identical.

I doubled up on the UNC 1s, both in my size, and the back panel below where the swoosh meets at the back were literally different heights. One pair was perfect, then on the second pair the left shoe, or maybe right shoe, on the second pair was visibly lower than the other foot.

But it is what it is this fakes vs. real convo isn’t one I’m super into. I buy real shyt and I mind my business and keep it pushing. If breh wants to waste his money on reps let him. But I’m not gonna act like I haven’t opened up a box of sneakers and been pissed at the craftsmanship before.
