ADIDAS x YEEZY COLLAB OFFICIAL THREAD *2016 thread link 1st page*

Then it's still a fake.
An identical fake maybe, but still a fake

 

[jimmyjoyce1776]

so if they are fake and nobody can tell they are fake, are they fake?

 

[casper90403]

oh boy, here comes the fake/unauthorized/authentic debate for the next two pages.

but you, or not even the most skilled NTer will be able to tell the difference cause the same materials and machines are behind used.

it's not like you can track each shoe to figure out which factory it was put together in.

 

[joeoh29]

they are fake if they did not come off the adidas sweat shop manufacturing line

end of story

 

[mehoneydee]

Yup!

 

[sin91]

if they are using the same materials and same machines to make pairs identical to the adidas ones, wouldn't that theoretically mean that the shoes are "authentic"?


when comparing fakes to other shoes, we look at the materials used, the construction of the shoe, colours, etc. the materials are off or the placement of materials is off because those materials aren't the original, and also the shoes are put together using a different method.


obviously the pair put together in someone's garage with authentic materials and exact machine shouldn't be considered authentic but technically it is.. it just wasn't put together inside one of adidas' licensed shops.


confusing post but i hope ya'll know what i mean.

IMO this would be the true meaning to "UnAuthorized" as Adidas doesn't oversee the QA portion. There is only one factory that is able to produce these UA pairs that I know of and they're making themselves known throughout Instagram by comparing themselves to other factories putting out low quality pairs.

unauthorized=fake

end of discussion

FC probably has them listed because....GASP! They made an error!

 

[mehoneydee]

Unauthorized = (another term for) FAKE!



edit, nvm. ^Beat me to the same thought

 

[witnesskb24]

I have quite a few of rope laces, none of them look as good as the OG laces on each pair respectively. 
I normally don't mess with changing out the laces anyway.


On another note, thanks to Terry for middle manning and the NTer who made the size 5 swap happen for the missus.

Enjoy homies

Glad they got there smooth and safely

 

[casper90403]

Surprised FC still hasn't taken down that 11.5.

 

[jli119]

people still trying to justify UA as not fake? smh

 

[avthegod]

air randy special

 

[kilroythedon]

FC at it again....

Keep throwing money at them fools...

So many UAs in that place it's sickening. Said this in another thread as well

 

[geeplus]

Everyone freaking out about them 11.5s at FC, Why don't someone just call and check?

HELLO?

 

[sin91]

Looks like it was taken down

 

[sin91]

Anyone use Jason Mark on their TD's yet?

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

bro, broooo ^^  people who are making the fakes arent relying on our info man.. guarantee the Chinese have real pairs and are crafting them side by side, not going off some pictures on the internet....  heck, its already been confirmed in here that they are using the same materials too! 


Even if they buy them at resell prices spend $800 to make $8,000 

Where has it been confirmed they're using the same materials? Yall causing hype over these fakes just like people did for Jordans and its unwarranted. They arent using "the same materials and the same machines" there are consistent flaws with every version of these fakes from the prime knit to the fake boost tech in the shoe.

i did... not on the knit, but to clean the midsole, need to keep it creamy white

Thinking about spraying repel on it. Been trying to get clarification if the repel is the same as that other commercial product that protects from mud and other foreign objects but slightly discolors the shoe overall

 

[joeoh29]

i just used the scotch guard i had at home on all these with no issues... idk what the diff is tho ? 

 

[meniac]

Might be kinda bias to ask in here, but what do you guys think of me trading my DS Pirates for VNDS GL3 salmon toes straight up?

 

[joeoh29]

if its worth it to you, do it.

 

[witnesskb24]

It's not bad. ASICs market is horrid now though
