The UA game is different now from back then and even if you buy from eBay, scamX ,or GOAT you still taking a gamble whether you buy early or off those platforms after the official release. Do we have insider info about the shoes being made in the same factories it's a scary game now

Right. Sometimes based on what you’ll read in here, you’d get the impression that reps are just the real thing after the manager walks out the door to go home lol

You're always taking a chance if you don't purchase from an authorized Nike dealer. But while SX and others have let fakes through, at least there's some semblance of legit checking that takes place to increase your odds of getting a genuine pair. If you choose to buy early from these IG etc dudes, for all you know they're selling NOTHING but fakes. So I don't see it as being the same thing/same risk.
Exactly. If "fakes" were just additional pairs the real factories made that they weren't supposed to make after they fulfilled the number of shoes Nike ordered, then they wouldn't be fake.

Awww man this is one of NT's infamous discussions: Unauthorized pairs aka Grey Market Pairs.
Is a cup of coffee brewed after hours at Starbucks, fake coffee because it wasn't made during operating hours?

It sure as ish is if it’s half-made with Folgers.Awww man this is one of NT's infamous discussions: Unauthorized pairs aka Grey Market Pairs.

I’m not looking to start this debate for the billionth time, either. As far as I’m concerned, there’s never been a gray market or gray area on this topic. There’s genuine and fake. Period. That’s why I asked (somewhat rhetorically) why there would be ANY differences in the shoes that were supposedly just made “after hours” or off the books. If they aren’t identical in every possible way to official pairs, then they’re fake.

So if I gave you a cup of Starbucks and charged you $10 for it and said “Trust me bro, this was made at Starbucks. My buddy works there and he made it after the shop closed”, you’d believe me? Lol

Nope!
Anyone can positively identify the unique, bitter tangy taste of Starbucks coffee.

I don't think buying from retail is safe either to be honest. It would not surprise me to find out that employees could swap fake pairs in for real pairs before release.
This and the fact that they come out with new and “improved” batches of fakes over time means that fakes and authentics are not the same product, despite what Mr Hou’s Counterfeit Crew wants you to believe

Ooh-ooh!! I got one! What if ...a disgruntled Starbucks barista steals a bag of beans and an espresso machine from the back...sets up a pop up complete with Starbucks sign next to a hot dog vendor in Times Square -Then sells Pikes Place and gingerbread lattes for $7--Is it fake?
