So by your logic, they have access to decade old materials? And are able to make NEW sneakers out of them?

Man..........
Until you guys see what's happening first hand you just won't understand.
Ninja is right btw

Reasonable logic escapes him, Anthracite....Ninja just don't get it. He's staring in awe at those counterfeit 17s like some voodoo magic is going on. He's all mesmerized by the briefcase and "peel off sticker". He has no idea the level that counterfeiting has gotten to. They can completely reverse engineer any sneaker. What's so hard about replicating a briefcase? Even more hilarious...what's so hard about replicating a DVD? And the best part...why is he so impressed by a peel off sticker? It's just standard blue protective material that's widely available. Printing the words "peel off" on it is difficult? Why? If anything...these 17s shed even more light on what we all already knew what was going on. We've all seen the counterfeiting video on you tube that references these factories in China. They're so arrogant that they even say "We can replicate any shoe, just with pictures." But I don't think that's what's actually happening. They are most likely holding an authentic in their hands...and replicating them based on that live model, not pictures.
LOL...now you're really REACHING.Jesus christ YES!......
Whoever made them before legitimately before WITH
Permission & presumably with a nike contract is NOW making em WITHOUT permission, HENCE da
Name grey market.

I'll just leave this here...for all the people reading this thread that missed out on this video when it was posted up a few months back. Really gets good near the 1:00 mark, but the whole video is really good. And this, my friend, is what's REALLY happening.

They even mention that some sellers who can't get a large amount of Nike's due to the limited supply are mixing in the counterfeits with their authorized inventory to help meet the demand. Again, the owner of these counterfeiting factories is able to make exact replica's while cutting costs. Keep pretending THIS isn't happening.
have you ever thought that it may be the factory getting ready to make them for jb? spewing out copies of these on the down low... copying a legit tag like so many of them do... how else can you explain the date. also, did you notice it says tao bao on the wall... I hope you know tao bao is fake. anyways, you still can't argue that however they are producing these, they are FAKE/REPLICA... I mean how is it so hard to grasp that concept in ur head?? I mean look at what you said..... whoever made them before ... ok... just like I've been saying about these and ANY shoe like them or from there.... they may or may not have made some for JB, they may or may not be getting ready to produce and retro these FOR jb... the fact still remains that these pairs are FAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it's just that simple idk how else to get it through your head. you seem to be dialed in on the idea that just because it's made the same way or possibly the same place that it's not counterfeit.... that logic just doesn't fly. it's a pretty simple concept and you seem to be overlooking it trying to write it off as almost some type of magic.... pretty laughable at this point.Jesus christ YES!......

Realest **** I have ever read.makes me a lil bit mad that looking at this blunder, JB could retro any sneaker they want exactly how it used to be instead they
they purposely butcher em and weaken them with each subsequent retro release
Ninjahood,
Explain why the "A" on the insole of your 88's is different...It has a flat top, it's supposed to be pointed...
Take them to Flight Club and record it, $100 says they're fake...I've been on NT just as long as you, actually longer...I'm a man of my word, if FC says they're real I owe you an apology
and $100....
HORRIBLE comparison.Pretty Much This. I've asked him this several times.You Already Know what Flight Club is going to tell you.Ninjahood,

They way I equate this is Simple.. Lets just say you want a BMW... an M6... but you want it now... And a Guy tells well I have the all the parts and Can build it for before BMW can... is still a BMW? No... Or how about this if a Random employee in the BMW Factory Builds the M6 inside the Factory Without BMW's Knowledge, and slips it out.. is it Official?
"unauthorized grey market legit pairs"................ you sir are utterly stupid. UNAUTHORIZED PAIRS ARE NOT LEGIT.... you seem to think that the grey market is just an outside market that sells legit shoes.... THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!!!!!! WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE TO GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL???? smdh unreal
anybody that owns XVII's and sees these pics right now are completely mesmerized. these dudes got da SAME exact leather
same briefcase, same dvd, same damn peel off sticker, hell da SAME ******g foam fingers in da briefcase and just decided
to crank da machine up and make em again. and you know how I KNOW these aint fake, but unauthorized grey market legit pairs?
look at da size tag, its da IDENTICAL older size tag from that era, even bootleggers use da newer lookin styles...
look at a pair of CDP XVII's for comparison...these dudes dead *** just took da old "tech pac" and churned em up exactly to what da specs would've
been in 2001. makes me a lil bit mad that looking at this blunder, JB could retro any sneaker they want exactly how it used to be instead they
they purposely butcher em and weaken them with each subsequent retro release, but thats for another thread...bottomline is this is what happens
when you outsource your manufacturing and dont have any control of it once your intellectual property is in da hands on people who have ulterior
motives for their own profit.
Patrick Ewing's Ewing Athletics has filed a $28M suit against NY-based Next Sports, Inc., the now-defunct distributor of the "Patrick Ewing 33" shoe brand, charging it with "scheming to defraud" the sneaker company, according to Richard Wilner in the N.Y. POST. The case could go to court next spring. The Bahamas-based Ewing Athletics Co. was "one of the most successful business ventures ever undertaken by an active athlete," and industry estimates say the venture provided Ewing with annual royalties of almost $2M per-year. But distribution decisions recently forced Ewing to close the seven-year-old company. The "Patrick Ewing 33" brand had grown "over the years" into a $40M a- year sales operation and Ewing hoped to eventually sign other players to sponsorship deals and take more of an active management role once he had retired. But earlier this year, the shoe "started showing up in discount stores and flea markets" and the "discounting" of the brand slowed sales to full-price retailers like Foot Locker and "forced Ewing Athletics to close its doors." Ewing now wears Nike shoes, and while the company said it is not paying him, market sources indicate Ewing is "receiving some Nike cash for his marketing efforts" (N.Y. POST, 12/12).
You got that part right...the way they make the shoes is TERRIBLE. Lookin like a blind man sewed up these joints.do da homework folks. space jams, XVII's...hell those ray allen XIII's are IDENTICAL to their retail counterparts material
wise, da WAY in which they are being made though nefariously is what da problem is, NOT da actual product.
