Whats stopping someone on ebay/instagram from saying something is authentic when its really not ?
Theres few different bootleg qualities out there.. some noticeable obviously, and theres some really great quality bootlegs that not even the best sneaker head could tell the difference..
Ive noticed a lot of instagrams, new shoe sites and ebay sellers with thousands of feedbacks are claiming 100% authentic shoes, but I know for a fact they are bootleg..
1. Way too many people with shoes before release dates. Test shoes come out, some people really do got the plug on shoes.. but Jordans a few months before they come out
them is fake..
2. When I go to ebay, to look for some shoes, people with 2000+ positive feedback, I check the 1-5 negative they might of received over the past 12 months, the way they type its obvious they are from China (I used to deal with china sellers all the time).
