Those 4s were horrible too! lol i mean real ****in bad. Was back when i really first started getting into sneakers and like you said those blurry *** low res photos back when lol.that was difficult to come by during that time period. Fugazis back then were really bad and easy to spot even with bad low res photos. I remember taking pictures of stuff on those old Nokia phones or low res digital cameras. since 2005, I have only encountered 2-3 reputable shoe sellers. today, we are just bombarded by scalpers which is as bad as fake stuff sellers.
Its alot harder to hide it now considering everyones got access to a quality cam but like you mentioned now the problem is swimming through the mounds of scalpers and developing a keen eye for fakes which have greatly improved.
What really sucks about fakes is some look really on point but once you put them on or hold in hand you can tell. Its something in the weight and overall quality.
