  • If you have ever bought or sold a pair of limited sneakers you've probably heard of StockX.
    StockX is a middle man service that insures every item is 100% authentic...
    So I bought a pair of fake sneakers to see if they would catch them.

    So in my experience, the biggest tell is always the little things like the boxes and laces and little plastic bags they put laces in. What you should do is put the reps in a genuine box with genuine accessories and let the sneakers stand on their own. Test out the quality of sneakers and don’t let a box do you in.

    StockX checks the boxes for differences or flaws. You put a sticker inside the box, in a place where it couldn’t have been accidentally stuck. They probably rejected that pair as soon as they unfolded the box before inspecting the shoes. Also, the shoes won’t have the proper weight, unless the fakes had the same sole construction and bonding as the real pair. If they were the same weight and there was no sticker in the box, they would’ve passed. You made it so easy they didn’t even have to inspect anything further than the first two steps.

      i rly doubt they check the box like that, and even if they do, its sus, but not a reason to claim that the shoe is fake. checking the weight is a rly good point, but he try to create the realistic situation of selling fakes on stockx, not trying everything possible to get the shoes passed. its not realistic that people want to sell fakes makes the shoes weight more, how u even want to do that?

      I bought Jordan 1 Chicago 2015's before the last dance for $740 size 11.5 and they came with a replacement box. a Jordan 1 with a regular Jordan 1 box, a shoe of that caliber, really? Also, didn't pass check check so who knows if they were real. I bought the Kaws 4 grey's size 11.5 and they were fake and also all in 9 buys. Oh, with the Jordan 1 Chicago 2015, they didn't offer my money back, they offered $60 store credit, not even actual money, so a $40 value MAYBE. I ended up only getting $100 store credit after back and forth and still have all the emails. The Jordan 1 chicagos I ended up selling for $690 after fees on goat and I paid $806 for the with fees on stockx. I lost almost $120 when a pair with the box went for $2k at the time and these were DS. They passed at Goat so at least I got most of my money back. What I can't get over and worse than not catching a the fake kaws 4 grey pair is everyone knows without OG box it devalues the fuck out of the sneaker and it's part of the authenticity. Then, one as simple as a regular Jordan 1 box which EVERY sneaker head knows, somehow passed through an assembly line of so called knowledgable sneaker heads.. Laughable...

      A big french youtube channel just did the same experience and succeeded. By succeeded I mean they passed the authentification with fakes...on the first try! they bought a real pair and a fake pair (top tier fake) and swapped the boxes. Fake boxes are usually a dead giveaway because the fakers do not put that much effort into it, or at least not as much as effort put into the shoes themselves. However, real box+fake nike passed stockxx authentification test which tell a lot about stockxx supposedly guarrentees...

Whether they catch him or not let alone him making it a social experiment to show what happens for content, it will set a precedent where others will imitate youtubers and be like "yo dawg so I am a youtuber and making a documentary on Whether or not my bag full of coke gets me caught and because you caught me youre awesome. Ok toodleloo I am leaving now hehehe". Quite frankly, it should not be stockx' complete responsibility to make sure people aren't selling fakes. That should be on the sellers themselves. I know that if I am sold something fake with my hard earned moneu I am not complacent enough to walk away from it and will see it through the seller be jailed and I be compensated. In other words, youtubers whom were once... well they aren't on CZcams anymore as they are banned but there were pranksters and others trying to sell fakes on youtube and not only were their channels taken down and they forced to pay a lot of money, they faced some serious charges from harming other people and simply selling fakes. If this youtuber is trying to keep people from buying from stockx it just reminds me of youtube taking away the viewing number of dislikes and force a narrative upon you.

    When you make these accounts do you have a VPN and keep the same IP until after you sell them to yourself? Because there's a good chance they can look at the IP address and see the accounts under it, and how they both have a failed attempt to get shoes through verification and that might be part of the issue. The reason you have to have consistent IP addresses is because otherwise they can tell you're using a VPN from it changing so regularly.
    I think to test this you should try selling the real pair of that same shoe that you tried to sell to yourself and see what happens.

    If something like that existed, anyone with a fake pair of shoes wouldn’t know about it and their tag/code wouldn’t jive with official records and therefore fail authentication.

      @@pokiis3108 as the previous user said, same address. also, not sure if OP used a VPN to sign up or not, but stockX could be flagging IP addresses associated with accounts where an item failed authentication. So yeah he uses different accounts, but maybe the IP address he used to sign up is the same. then they know to doubly check items from that seller. Or, maybe even auto-reject.
