Real talk there are certain brands I 100% don’t buy on the secondary market - adidas and Nike. If I can’t hit for retail, I’m not buying it ever.

When it comes to New Balance, my suspicion drops to like 30%, especially since I’m a size 13. The chances of a bootleg NB in a 13 aren’t super high, but I do my due diligence.

Asics etc. I feel safe.

But Nike or adidas? I wouldn’t even buy an AF1 from StockX or GOAT, let alone dropping real bread on a limited shoe. I’d rather not have it than potentially pay for something fake.

I’m not even anti fake, but I’m not spending real money on a potentially fake shoe.

I really want the Mars Yard 2.0s and SB Diamond Supply dunks but I know I’ll never own em because I refuse to roll the dice.

My suspicion is they don’t even really be authenticating them. I’ve purchased several pairs of J’s from GOAT so it is what it is at this point :yeshrug:

All authentication means is “we had some guy look at them, and he thinks they’re real. If it’s good enough for him it’s gotta be good enough for you”

So I’m dropping 300+ and I’ve gotta hope that my shoe passes through the hands of one of your good employees and not a rookie or worse, just not get checked at all and you slap a tag on it?

It’s why you gotta pay with a CC and your own legit check. Just be prepared to do a chargeback or put him on blast on social media as all of them act funny when admitting wrongdoing.
