About:
We're exploring major sneaker resellers and their scams. Big resellers aren't just individuals selling trendy sneakers over social media, but include figures like Marcus Jordan, Joe Herbert, Cedaz, and Michael Malakzadeh.
Marcus Jordan, son of basketball legend Michael Jordan, launched the boutique Trophy Room in 2016. His collaborations with Jordan, especially the controversial Chicago Trophy Room sneaker, sparked rumors of Marcus selling to resellers at inflated prices before official releases.
Joe Herbert's reselling business, West Coast Streetwear, crumbled after it was revealed his mother, Ann Herbert, was a Nike Vice President. Following the exposure, she resigned from Nike.
UA-camr Cedaz facing a lawsuit from Nike for promoting and selling fake sneakers.
A Melbourne man lost $30,000 buying from a minor reseller who couldn't legally provide a refund.
Finally, Michael Malakzadeh of Zadeh Kicks is accused of money laundering, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit bank fraud. His business collapsed when he couldn't fulfil orders for the much-anticipated Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey in 2021. - Навчання та стиль
Love your channel Elliot, I’m in my 50s and love sneakers not to re sell but because when I was growing up I could never afford them so now I buy them for my girls and myself not to Flex but just to own the things I always wanted , the fact that these people are carrying out these scams is a disgrace as there are plenty of people out there that just love sneakers for what they are and cannot afford hyped prices tbf even at retail most of the shoes aren’t worth the money anyway.
Facts!!!!!!
Completely agree
W guy
They should boycott those TrophyRoom1s, let them sit, let him have all of them dust in his store
Human greed is one hell of a power man.
If these type of people doesn't exist, reps is pretty much gone from existence, but yeah it is what it is
That human behavior goes far past shoes. If these people didn’t exist our species would thrive instead of just existing.
@@jonvon2044 agreed, but that what makes us as a thriving species
You either ride on or get rolled on.
Ironically I was just thinking about this the other day. The resell market only makes sense to Nike if they are part of it. They can release limit pairs of a shoe at “retail.” Then they could unload the rest of the inventory at a higher price on the backend. I don’t think they’re sitting back letting kids with bots make a premium off their shoes. Jordan brand is is the worst in my conspiracy theory. They’re feeding people the same shoe every few years at a higher price. So they can eat off a shoe many times. Especially if they get the influencers to hype the shoe up
Hate 2 break it 2 u but as time goes bye most things like gas, food prices, etc etc rise.. So the price i dont have a problem w/ its the backdooring thats the problem
Elliot, all of your content is really great, but you blew it out of the park with these one. very interesting information. Best regards from Mexico. Keep up the good work. Im very happy to see you grow on your content
Damn didn't know scams like this actually exist aside from like big fake sneaker markets here in the Philippines.
This is worse and fuels fake sneakers even more
Elliot being the goat of sneaker information
The guy who lost $30k didn't get anything back but some other customers of that scammer kid got him good. I heard they chased him down through a shopping centre and made him pay in a different way. Moral of this story, don't rip people off on sneaker deals
elliot u never fail not to do the thug shake 😢
Give me money Mr Elliot
Bro plz share with me
Bro plz share with me
Ngl I got 1st 😂
Can I have some
Give me some I need money
Great video mate, i love the topic ❤
For the record, what Cedaz did is just proving Nike’s quality is ass. Not only that but it also proves Nike does not give a flying fuck about their customers. Nike themselves have made this hobby atrocious AF🤷♂️
Buy a fake, it’s the same shit.
Politicians do this everyday.
Funny thing, every time when my youtube video of Elliot is loading, I always say, just like him “Guuuuuys” and then when the video is loaded, he also goes, “guuuuys” 😆
Marcus jordan can deny those back door special 1s until the end of time, but everyone knows 😅
Unrelated, but I really enjoyed the content with your brother. 🔥
F Trophy Room
high tier reps right now is like retails without receipts lol
Damn this sucks I Just Started getting into shoes. like I am new to the shoe game still learn a lot . But one thing I have learned real fast there is A lot of shady/ scumbags in the Sneaker business. what a bummer..
You're actually getting in at a good time unless your looking for the limited hyped sneakers. If you just looking for your regular drops then most of them are readily available in store or online for retail or whatever even under retail on aftermarket sites for certain models
@@snkrheadndaatl77 I couldn't care less about the overhyped stuff. I'm happy with grabbing overlooked stuff at a 50% discount. Like the 2s are a real steal at that price range.
Cool vid! Still think stockX should be on ths list too though, known for selling fakes and not refunding.
Great Content!!!
We need more vids like this
"those who live silent, live good"
Real shit
Elliot ur my fav youtuber
Elliot in the vultures album cover room
Dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the best videos Elliot made
That trophy1 low is ass,pass on them
zadahe kicks always came through for me, even thought you had to wait 6 months for the shoes!
U were probably doing small orders 1 or 2 pairs. If u ordered big he would have got u. And he had preorders for shoes that never came out to this day from years ago
Nike going in like the SEAL Team Six lol
The moral of the story is dont buy shoes from kids? not autheticate the sneakers first? Bro for real?
Fun Fact: Immediately started getting more W’s after they fired her. Just saying
Jordan's son always makes intelligent decisions (with business and lovelife) 😅 if I was mj, i would have a paternity test to know if he's really mine
There’s so many now with different version, most ppl. don’t know what you’re wearing now. Not like back when a few set trends with the sneaker choices you made vs someone dictating what everyone should buy and have. Which alone for me killed the sneaker collecting hobby. Plus, a long time ago, I found out these shoes fall apart eventually and loose their value. which is a big turn off bc at some point in your collection, you have to get rid off before it melts down.
Like anything, when everyone and their mom get into reselling and collecting, that alone will over saturate and kill the market. The key is to find something that hot, but not many know about and milk it until everyone jumps on the same game.
Wow and he returned fake Nikes and they didn’t catch they were fake. See, too many fakes now and too many reissues that also killed the market. Back in the days, you can be proud to own a shoes that many didn’t have. Now everyone has the same shoes and so many fakes to make the real ones not so special bc you can’t tell on these fakes unless you are an expert and even they make mistakes.
Sounds like that dude was doing the Nike ponzy scheme.
The Trophy Room name was ruined forever. They either blatantly backdoored them, or couldn’t manage their inventory. Either way it was a shitshow and they’ll never live it down.
what shirt is that?
Marcus Jordan ballin after the back door 🚪 scandal but he denies any wrong doing and saying it was people in his team 😑 Man, money makes people turn into devils 😈 put in prospective, TR1s $190 x 12,000= 2,280,000
TR1s backdoored $1,500 x 12,000= 18,000,000
Should come as no shock that a bratty rich kid like Hebert, despite making racks off his resell business, was on his mommy’s cell phone plan and using her credit card.
Best sneaker channel
Wild, all of them
you do love to see gym caluses on the broll
I live in Orlando and I hit on the in store raffle. So did my buddy…. Good luck yall
Must be nice having life on tutorial mode and being Marcus Jordan.
Sounds like the Zadeh Kicks guy should have just went to the rep producers to fulfill his orders
Hank the Tank. IYKYK
You should have mentioned both StockX, and Goat as resellers! The both buy their kicks as a Wholesaler, and sell them at resale value!!
Im almost positive the backdooring grom trophy room is being looked into by the Feds. Just like what jappene with James Whitner
What about project blitz?
Omg cant imagine this actually real case
You have quite literally the weirdest mismatch of accents I’ve ever heard😂
Forgot about the hot water a ma maniere is in
I thought you were gonna talk about Sneak City
pls review represent bully🔥 PLEASE, man, i've been asking for ages😭😭😭
The herb 1 is actually smart on her end I’ll put my kids on too🤷🏾♂️
They should boycott is all the resellers !
Crazy stories😮
Marcus helped make me a ton of cake with the fives. I only had 14 pairs myself. If I had more money I would have bought hundreds. No back door though. Just smart.
It’s kind of sad if you’re Michael Jordan‘s son, all your dad does is win and the greatest idea you’ve ever had is just staring at his trophies 😂 and wanting to start a trophy shop, but not winning anything
More yeezy $20 drop,let’s gooo
Brah in america ticketek resellers does this all the time to all the big concerts they bulk sell to resellers / "investors" time not to be too naive. Its even on youtube. Ticketeck / ticketnet wants the cut of the aftersale market. Didnt you notice ? When you need a basketball or concert ticket on the day you can still buy on the day cause it is the price you are willing to pay. This is the same with this shoe... retail price? That is just an illusion.
Imagine a human-made concept such as age is the sole determination of the level of maturity of every person which can result in someone can get away with literal crimes with the difference of a few months. If this is not an undisputed fact that the laws are broken. Im not sure what is.
You said everyone interested in this color way thats a lie i have never dropped more than 100 dollars for one pair of nikes, sorry i bought one pair in 2024 and its the last pair imma buy and it isnt even limited. So you see im not buying over priced garbage
all resellers are scammers. the fact that you can get pairs easily because of a contact is already cheating.
as for fakes as long as you say their fake. dont sell it as real there is no harm.
Who cares if marcus Jordan back door his own product?
never buy from a reseller lmao . you never know what your getting haha
Imagine getting your mom fired
Marcus a born goofy
This just sounds illegal asf 😂😂😂
How is James Whitner not on this list?
Travis Scott 100% does this.... He puts the shit on Stock X himself and sets the price before they release. No one ever wins his raffles on his website. Just grade school. Nike should do the releases on Snkrs and just throw them a cut.... I guarantee they are not paying taxes on the extra millions they make.
I say it again F them resellers😁
Fuck the resale market
All I can say is wow
Cedaz gave the forces to a homeless man though...
And? He scammed the store 😂🤣, it’s literally on video
@@CeeWorld69make better quality shoes then😂😂😂
@@UzitheSaint they’re all made in the same place 😂🤣😆
@@CeeWorld69 essentially, that’s why I’m not even looking at what he did as something terrible
Gimme penny
W video ngl

Marcus jordan is a bum
7th
First
1st
Marcus is a bum.
So what do we learn from this? Scamming people is OK, but do so in reasonable amounts, don't be a hugh jass
Greed was Good in the 80's but 2020's to present Greed is cunningly Grand.
Marcus B. Jordan...B stands for backdoor.
I’m still waiting on the content creators who will start making content about actual content creators 🫡
