Anyone know why my UPS MyChoice doesn't show my tracking info from Nike? Weird that I'm not getting any updates and that the # doesn't show up in my UPS account, but if I search for the tracking # alone - it shows it'll be here tomorrow.
 
I just go in raw, no protection needed...but that's just me.

Fakes are getting so good. Got these from eBay for $250 from a seller with perfect feedback, and a rating over 400 - I don’t think they knew they were fake. Would you?

^^^ What are the tells?
The smell is a huge giveaway. If you know how Jordan’s smell - you know. Fakes smell like nail polish remover. Not enough of a tell in it’s own right, but enough to make me look further. Picks below seal the deal, and have authentic on the left, fake on the right.

Also, insoles should be glued down semi-firmly. Fakes usually pop right out, with little or no hold.

The swoosh looks way off
I concur, and it was one thing that I noticed before buying. But I found other examples that appeared authentic and similar. His pictures weren’t the best either. In hand though, it’s obvious.

I spent 30 minutes on Reddit one day, and learned how to buy fakes from China. For research purposes (and ish and giggles) I ordered a pair. They are better than these Royals. The materials are on point. The one easy give away though is the smell. It’s scary. I don’t think I will mess with older stuff on eBay. These sellers are making all of the new stuff too though. Stay safe out there!

sometimes Nike will fck with the name and put ATTN: VALUED CUSTOMER as the first line. since that name differs from what's on your account the tracking number won't register to your account.
 
although fakes are getting better, I could tell those were bufu at first glance
I was in the mood to buy something and I wanted it here for the weekend. Everything in the general StockX price range on eBay looked similar. They might all be fakes. I guess I should have been patient.

Buyer is refunding...

So will you be able to get your money back? $250 is a lot to pay for fakes. *Edit you answered..

I don't trust 100 feedback with 100s of reviews. Real sellers like Solesupremacy get hit wit 1 stars for the dumbest reasons like delivery took 1 extra day.
Fake sellers try to act all nice to try and keep their feedback from having someone say they got fakes
 
At one point in time many years ago I was caught up in the world of fakes but one day I just couldn't do it no more. "JUST SAY NO", LOL!!! But anyway, back to these 1's though. I finally completed my BHITG set.
