Is it safe to buy from a agent that doesn't use PayPal

Why bother when there are a million agents that take Paypal...

Just use one that takes Paypal.

I'm saying though. Don't make life harder on yourself. If there are clearly agents that take PayPal, why would you use one that doesn't? The first thing you'll do is complain in this thread if you get swindled :lol:

Is there any grey market gucci 1's trying to avoid getting a grey market pair if posible. thnx

Dude call the Nike outlets and have them stock locate. Then you know your getting a legit pair, or just buy consignment because they are fairly inexpensive.

Honestly, I don't think they make GM LV's because the resale on them is so low, near retail. It def wouldn't be a concern of mine.

Wow, this thread has gotten much longer since I last checked it out.  My opinion is pretty much the same as it always was when it comes to the legitimacy of GM pairs, but my thoughts on potentially purchasing them has changed.  Unauthorized by Nike means the quality control won't be there, but when I see the stuff that passes through QC at Nike, does it really matter all that much?  We end up buying shoes blind anyways pretty often and if you camped for hours to get a pair, you probably aren't going to return them because a pair has some flaws on it anyways.  

I'm finding myself kind of leaning towards being ok with buying GM pairs while I was dead set against it before.  Most of the reasoning behind that is on the resell market, I am constantly sorting out fakes and GM pairs anyways, so why am I paying a resell price for something with no guarantee of it being an authorized pair?  When I see how good the quality is on GM pairs and even some fakes, it's inevitable that the flood gates will open and they will go onto the resell market sold as authentic and authorized pairs.  I do not want to be sorting through that mess when the time comes.  Things are annoying enough as is at the moment.

I'm still on the fence though, because I have built up my collection of all legit pairs over the years and to start buying GM pairs taints that in a way.  Honestly, if I didn't have so many pairs, I probably wouldn't care and jump right in and buy them.  This thread puts into perspective what actual value of shoes should be though.  They're just shoes at the end of the day and hoarding them as a collector really doesn't make much sense.  I'm going to start downsizing my collection regardless of whether I decide to buy GM pairs or not.  
 
Thoughts?

Mods should implement a few rules about not disclosing where to get them and not to post pictures of GM pairs with watermarks that would lead users to the site.

This thread is informative in the wrong way because I bet my balls that a number of people have learned about GM pairs here and are now selling them off as authentic pairs.

just wondering, what is the production date tag in GM space jam? is it still the same as the authentic one?(i suppose the prod date should be somewhere in 09). 

The GM space jam must be made somewhere in 2012-2013. but of course, maybe they will put the prod date the same as authentic (2009).

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where to get GM shoes.

Most people don't post sellers or places to get them.

And the most photos are for comparison so people know what to look out for, or just for general knowledge of the issue. GM kicks are a part of the game now, as upsetting and bothersome as that might seem to some people.

It's a buyers personal responsibility to educate themselves on GM shoes so they know what they are purchasing and they know how to avoid buying something they don't want. A good place to do that, is in this thread.

Thanks for your opinion Broshe, but a restriction or censorship of information doesn't benefit anyone.

You can cop Yeezy FB's off TB incase you missed out... lol

Bred 11's are completely indistinguishable.

How can people say those are fake? They are clearly the exact same shoe...

I'm interested to see the differences as well. I personally can't see anything wrong with those Breds that you wouldn't also see on authorized pairs. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on some cool grey 11's or space jams.
 
My GM pair of Breds looked BETTER than my crappy restock NDC pairs, so I returned them and got my $400 back (2 pairs). :rofl:
