I think some of you guys dont understand the story
Tom Brady isnt buying the shoes for himself.
He is making a cameo appearence in a movie. The wardrobe excutive is buying the shoes based on the costume designer's request. Tom Brady simply shows up for the shoot and they dress him according to the costume designer. The shoes are like a prop for the movie.
this.
y'all always so quick to try to clown on here... but i'm not that gullible, he never indicated anything that would be a scam or tried to haggle really... i don't blame y'all for being skeptical, but the reality is, the story was believable... especially to someone who doesn't even know how all that stuff works.
tom brady himself didn't want the shoes, the people making the movie wanted them, and they wanted banneds specifically because they were told somewhere along the way they had the best leather (and still look aged) and nike air, closest to OG's, and actual OG's would likely have collar chipping they're notorious for.
perhaps they tried flight club and they had no size 13... and jordan brand can't just magically make a brand new banned 1 for them on the spot (why you think kanye's team has been buying up all the size 12 yeezys on ebay and flight club, if he could just get them made at any time for himself, he would... and that's straight from an NT'er who's a former employee in oregon, who gets all kinds of CRAZY samples... like, he's already had the all red yeezy 2's, had the prototype yeezy 2's ye was first seen wearing, and even had the charcoal / fire red 1's from the glow in the dark tour, he's shown me pix)...
they never tried to haggle the price, he just mentioned other sizes had gone for around $1000, and could i do that instead of my asking buy it now price of $1200... that's all. if he was just trying to gas me up to haggle the price later on, why didn't he? why didn't he call me again and try at least?
end of the day, scam or not, i didn't lose anything. i don't see how it was a scam tho, doesn't make any sense, and he didn't try to haggle me down. i don't know what he was up to, but i couldn't care less... give me my asking price or keep it moving, that's it.
