If there’s one pair of Jordans it makes total sense to double up on, it’s the Lost and Founds.
Problem is they’re just to expensive to make it feasible.

Bros, is GOAT or StockX the safest place to buy a pair of 2017 Royals?

I can’t stand either of them but I’d lean towards GOAT

How were you able to prove that they were fake?
…if they passed GOAT’s authentication?

Either one of those places are equally a risk because they're resale and you're trusting someone to get the authentication right before sending the item your way. FYI, I bought a pair of Jordan 1's on StockX that they notified me of an issue upon their receipt of said item and located another one to send me.

They proved it because they are, in fact, the real GOAT.

The shorts I received had a mesh liner, but the authentic ones don’t. It should’ve been a simple “we messed up” situation.
I’m on Reddit more than NT these days and follow the Kith subreddit. A day or two after getting the shorts, someone posted asking if that exact pair was supposed to have a liner.People who bought directly from Kith confirmed there shouldn’t have been one, and Kith’s site description didn’t mention a liner either. I immediately opened a ticket with GOAT about it.
To be fair, they were good fakes, and since I don’t live near a Kith store and there aren’t reviews online, I couldn’t compare. If I were an authenticator I can totally see how I might have been fooled.
GOAT initially denied my claim, saying their return policy requires all tags and items to be intact, which I had, however I threw away the shipping sleeve because I don't like a lot of trash and I initially assumed they were good based on the authentication process (I know ironic).
Goat doesn't have a specific sensor attached to their items like stockX or eBay so they are a pain to deal with if some **** happens. I would assume goat takes at least a picture of what goes through their authentication process but they didn't wanna admit their mistake. Ultimately this was enough for PayPal to side with me.

Had a similar issue with goat years ago. Bought from the used section, and it was clear the seller had continued to wear the shoes after posting the pics. Like you said, it should've been a very simple "we messed up, here's your money back" situation, but they dug their heels in and forced me to do a chargeback. Never again.

**** GOAT it is!! I never liked their costumer service anyways
On an authentication note, ebay just emailed letting me know a pair of dunks i ordered didn’t pass authentication and automatically refunded me. This is maybe the second or third time they’ve caught a seller i purchased from selling reps.
Fozz
maybe go the ebay route

Also, eBay acquired SneakerCon’s authentication services in 2021 so just depends which you’re comfortable with.
eBay Acquires Sneaker Con Authentication Business
The deal furthers eBay’s vertical expansion strategy in sneakers and offers customers added confidence in the purchase of high-value items.
