what kind of jeweler especially one like Ben would make something of crap quality and give it to a customer? :x
 
Apologize for the troll post…this for those that care ...we do not normally visit the jewelry thread but when RIF LA's name is thrown around with false content and historical information, its our JOB to starighten out the facts. This is coming from myself "E" and my business partner "J". Owners of RIF

Some have speculated that SAAM was an owner here at RIF. FALSE as BEN BALLER stated… though he was a good friend of mine he was the puppet to the puppeteer by the old owner and only used his resources to find a location and gather a knowledgable sneaker team to have in play, before a manager from Japan was shipped over to overlook the RIF permanently.

Because of differences with the old owner and Saam, Saam was asked to leave and after that we no longer had contact with him nor was he ever seen again in the sneaker scene. Later it is a known FACT that he was working at a new Restaurant, yes a Hip Hamburger spot located across from Supreme LA . As BEN Baller... stated and is currently a Real-Estate agent. FACT.

Were there DIFFERENCES with RIF and BEN BALLER , NO... there where differences with Ben Baller and the supposed "owner" of RIF Saam. 

The issue was more re-lated with BEN Baller clearing out 40% of the 1st series SB's and the majority of all resell able shoes on the west coast (Croatianstyle also a TOP Player) and SAAM being a reseller himself, SAAM was not having this. So the combination of cleaning out the most desireable sneaker on the WEST along with Ben's High Profile personality…who wouldn't be pissed. Think about it…your business revolves around buying and selling shoes… and whats left is scraps left behind some of the biggest re-sellers and collectors in so cal… **** I would be heated.

This was YEARS (4 YRS) ago and now RIF is owned and managed by a completely team. Since then we have gotten to personally know Ben and to our surprise a STAND up DUDE never asked for ****. 

The relationship actually began by talking about what we ALL are initially here for SHOES. 

His collection, ebay auctions, and his rise in the NT community in early 2000's.

And to our surprise BB in more humble than 60% of the customers that come into RIF…most blatantly talking about size of shoe collections, plans for the evening and cars that are parked out side the shop. 

Its actually pretty funny and sometimes we call Ben Baller "Ben Humble" he hates that ****. HAHA

BTW it is KNOWN fact that BB had a contract with NIKE with his AIRMACKS compadre Methanphibian. Those that don't know, he was THE BEST sneaker customizer in the GAME before sneakers became mainstream with all these websites and social media.

NIKE turned their back on BB and Meth. and it seems funny how NIKE signed a contract with another Sneaker crew and Customizer a few months later from Singapore.  Coincidence? Maybe.

before anyone stats any facts about our shop RIF or about Ben Baller …ask yourself if it really matters to you that much.

The yeezy 1 and 2 fiasco is a completely different beast. And TRUST people that should have received MULTIPLE pairs did NOT. And those in the circle are STILL looking for additional pairs. This is coming from resellers/back door money makers from your favorite brand. hillrious.

Thank for reading.

PS. Nothing but GOOD things to say about LAX, DOM recommended us and the manager at my shop Manny, stopped by for some goodies…and said your prices and selection is TOP NOTCH. Might have to come by and introduce myself. 

ANY AP 15400 or maybe a lightly used 15300? Cash ready.
