    Bro, “authenticating” is FAR from an “exact” science. Whether it’s check check, or StockX, or some random sneaker store owner, the bottom line is that authentication is nothing more than an OPINION. I have a pair of bloodlines that I have run through check check FIVE times. They came back NOT PASS all five times. Funny thing is that i am the original owner, and they were bought and shipped FROM NIKE.

    Thank you for making a video showing everything wrong with the sneaker game today. Seriously from you paying $1600 for a pair of sneakers, which is ludicrous on every level, to wanting to make money on a pair shoes you wore for 2 years and then finally sending your shoes to someone else to be authenticated. Every part of that is exactly whats wrong with the shoe game.

    @MaestroKong Před 3 lety +8

    Thank you for sharing this story. My suggestion is don't worry so much about it. There is hardly a difference between a good fake and the real one. You found out while making this video. In fact, if it's a nike shoe, the fake ones come from the people that make or used to make real nike shoes. From a psychology perspective, we are human beings that don't really note these small differences anyways. You were convinced they were real. Most of the design looks the same. Even the real ones can have factory defects. Shoes are also cheap to make at the end of the day. The real problem is Nike not filling in demands for their shoes. I'm sure they can do preorders to take back profit from resell sites like Stock X. If it was me, I would keep that one and move on. You said the money was a lot. I agree. Another pair isn't worth it because the real one isn't better than the fake. I also recall Tom Sachs wearing fakes himself and encouraged others to do the same. Wearing a fake version of his shoes is like the real thing then in a way.

    This actually cracks me up, and makes me sad at the same time. The sad part is this dude seems genuinely sad and anyone that pays for something should get what they pay for. I’m laughing because fakes have got so good it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference. So why keep being materialistic in the most expensive way possible? It gives your ego a boost because you know you have “real” shoes. But what makes something real? The material, the look, feel?

    • @BlakeYarbrough
      @BlakeYarbrough  Před 3 lety +72

      I can’t speak for others but for me personally it’s just about my love for sneakers. I want the real thing. I agree fakes have gotten really good and on some you really can’t tell a difference. In this situation I paid for authentic sneakers and so that’s what I expected to get. I knew I could get fakes much cheaper but didn’t want to do that. I care more about the story and all that it’s not just having the style of sneaker. I’ve been following the Tom Sachs collabs for awhile, really like the design and reasoning he makes things the way he does.

    Right off the bat, reps in 2018 were pretty good. You just had to know where to find them. Additionally, the marsyards you can VERY EASILY tell that theyre reps from the getgo simply from looking at the back peel panel placement in relation with the swoosh. There is a big gap, and that is a common flaw on rep pairs. On legit pairs the heel panel should be placed tightly against the swoosh, creating NO gap. Finally, check check is trash. They sometimes say authentic pairs are reps, and rep pairs are real. Just read the other comments about that.

    It just makes me want to go get a bespoke boot that fits my feet precisely . That’s $1500 and as much as I would love them I can’t bring myself to do it, if I did though they’d likely be in my rotation for the next 30+ years.

      @jaseallenson316 Před 3 lety +11

      Well especially if its an expensive item like that. They make more money based on the price of the item, so they should use more of the profit spending more time making sure it is legit. because other than legit checking, the rest of the process is the exact same for every shoe. So if they dont spend extra time legit checking expensive items, why would the fees be so much more than a 200$ item. other than legit checking there is no difference in the labor between an 1500$ shoe and a $200 shoe. It reminds me of how ridiculous it is, that we think we have to tip someone more money for serving us a plate of surf and turf, opposed to a plate of eggs and toast. Not like more work is required based on what is on the plate.

    This really shows how silly sneaker culture is. StockX is selling or allowing fake shoes to be sold, people are wearing them thinking they're real and not complaining, someone is trying to sell a shoe that's been worn for two years for almost double the price it was bought for, and someone was willing to buy it. Yet if you knowingly wear fake shoes some people will try to clown you.

With that said i know that feeling of being deceived is brutal! i found this vid after buying a pair of Jordan 1 Mocha's. did a check online and they didn't pass. Then took them to a couple shops all said they were real. compared them to another pair i know came from Nike and i can't see a difference at all but the smell of the shoe is a bit different. Point of this all being that the one result that came back "fake" weighs heavier on me than all the others. Mind is playing tricks on me.... With that said watching this vid combined with my own experience means I'm never buying from resellers again. Just going to take my Ls and keep it moving.. you gained a subscriber with me though.

    Real talk, check check also can be easily wrong as well. So sucks that you will never know

      True, that's why I did both a 12 hour and a 30 minute check on the app. It's definitely good to use as many resources as possible. I had about 6-7 legitimate sources check these and they all came back with the same answer.

    I just realized stockx is helping people who make fake shoes by giving them a place to test how good their counterfeits are. All they have to do is keep making adjustments until it passes through an authentication as a legit pair.
