I’ve been asked this question A LOT. Yes, I did compare my pair to my brothers pair for quality, leather, tags, etc... but he wears a smaller size than me. I only compared my pairs in the video because they are all the same size 👌
Man I fear da God i hope I don't get fakes!!! I just ordered air force 1 type trip. White.. then started to watch all these vid.. P.S I just subscribed
stock x needs better customer service options in particular a call center. its annoying trying to email them just to receive a copy and paste response. a company of their size should obviously have a phone number
so i just had an issue with stockx and said i want to talk to someone in person. they actually scheduled a call with me and the live person was so much better. got 5 days of emails worth of info to me in about 3 min.
Ive made 35-40 purchases with them and very few issues. Maybe 2-3 and mainly with shipping updates and delays. That's just me, I've mainly had a pretty good experience. Some others have had awful experiences. I can certainly tell you that with them raising their fees even higher they better step up their service as well. I need great service to pay more than a 10% premium on top of the purchase price.
One of my friends said he bought something off stockx, and once it went through he noticed that the shipping address had changed. He immediately cancelled the order and hasn’t used them since. He felt there was some scam going on.
Use a black light, replica factories use a fading ink to mark where cuts should be made. A black light will expose those marks and if you see those marks 100% replicas
Caleb Maxwell Ahh, no shit. I possibly got a fake Air Max/ Off White 97 in the menta color 2 days ago. Most things match but the print on both shoes don’t match.
Yea, i wasnt sure about my mcas and with blacklight they out real. They have a little swipe aroud the “air” text which is also only visible with blacklight. So the best is lookup blacklight details about your pair and make sure there are no factory markings
@@danielmartin6808 I did compare to my brothers pair. As far as quality they look the same but we don't wear the same size so could compare height with his.
I ordered a pair of fear of god raid 1s and they came to me with a bunch of white marks and even a piece was missing from the tongue which is very noticeable Idk how it went through the verification process. If they could send an email or something saying oh the shoes were deemed as authentic but they have some flaws, would you still want this pair or no, and then show what’s flawed on the shoe. Just needs transparency with their customers
Rodrigo Quiroz i once bought the true blue 3s and they came slightly creased like Someone had put them on and walked in them. Got them for a steal so couldn’t complain to much
I also bought a pair of the FoG Raids in the bone colorway from StockX. The box was in good condition and the shoes had all of the packaging compared to the black pair I ordered through SNKRS. After a few months of wearing, I noticed the left shoe had too many factory flaws. The Nike check was off center, stitching flaw on toe box, and the production date didn’t match the right shoe. I honestly think a seller put a fake shoe with a real shoe to get it to pass StockX authenticity. Wish I would’ve noticed before removing the tag! Prob never buying from them again.
@@yorickanderson1887 The number of factory flaws may be suspicious, but as for mismatched production dates from left shoe to right shoe in the same box... those are quite common for Nikes. I have more than a few pairs all purchased from official Nike retailers that don't have exact matching prod dates.
My first purchase on stockx was a already worn-in shoe lmao. It had some stains on the textile as well. Bought a different colorway of the same shoe and it looked pretty legit. It really depends on the seller. Why cant these shoe companies just make enough pairs for everyone that wants one. Have a pre-order list, make enough pairs for those preorders. Once you place the preorder, there are no refunds. So the shoe company doesnt get robbed and everyone is happy.
This is what they told me when they refunded me: “As you know, we have a multi-step authentication process to ensure that your order is correct in every way. Unfortunately, your recent order for the adidas Alphaedge 4D Reflective White didn't make it all the way through that process. As a result, we have cancelled your order and have issued a full refund” I’m guessing the pair they received weren’t authentic?🤷🏽♂️
Yeah I had 2 refunds for the same reason. The only issue for me with StockX is the time it takes. But u figure the wait time is for authentication so its really just a peeve
a couple of months ago it was stockx over goat but lately stockx takes 3-4 weeks just to send shoes or the payout for shoes being sold. I now use goat because they ship so much faster and i love how i can use afterpay so instead of paying lets say 300 at once u can split it into 4 payments every 2 weeks
Hey bro, the same thing about your last pair happened to me (except I was the seller of the shoe). Ultimately, I think UPS or someone stole the shoe, and I was paid my payout and the buyer was refunded their money. I know it sucks, but there isn't much you can do about someone stealing the shoe. Also, it could be held up in their warehouse because of the Covid-19. I actually just bought a shoe that didn't pass authentication. But what they did was instead of refunding me, they automatically bought the lowest ask for the shoe I bought, and are covering the difference in cost. Not sure why they did this for me (although it could be because my last order the seller didn't ship), but I will take it. Also, Stockx is really dropping the ball with these added fees again. They're going to lose their entire customer base, if they haven't already. I mainly use goat now, and find their services much better.
You could try to look at them with a black light. It shows the stitching and if it’s fake then it’ll be noticeable. You could compare it with a real Jordan 1
I’ve experienced all the same emotions when I received my obsidians from StockX. I also bought a second pair from footlocker and still was unsure of the authenticity. The general consensus is Nike over produced the obsidians to combat the resellers. As a result quality control took a hit and ultimately we the consumers did as well.
Not all 1s are the same exact height. I’ve had 30 paid from footlocker. I doubt people are faking this pair. Some boxes also don’t have stamps, check for price tag on the box. Usually only EU releases don’t have price tag on box
I have bought several pairs from StockX now and mine have all been authentic and delivered quickly. Similar to your experience with the waverunners, it's been great. Recently I managed to luck out on SNEAKRS for the Jordan 1 Court Purples, but I also won another raffle from END. The pair from SNEAKRS had a stamp in the lid box and the pair from END didn't. Also, my two pairs of travis' didn't have stamps in the lid and are european pairs. I think ultimately there's so much variation in production that it is sometimes difficult to authenticate. Plus there's so many contradicting legit check videos on youtube for all pairs. Invest in a black light torch (great way to authenticate most sneakers). Having held fake pairs of sneakers I can honestly say that you can ALWAYS tell between authentic and non authentic. Smell being a big give away! Great video however! Subbed. *EDIT* Having watched the ending of your video regarding your lost order. I think in the current climate with the global pandemic, I feel like there has to be a little bit of slack given to StockX and delivery companies. Bear in mind that your order being lost or a problem in transit is purely on the delivery courier / service, not StockX. I've ordered stuff from several places over the last 4 weeks and on a few occasions my packages have gone missing or not arrived, this has always been a delivery service issue and not the retailer.
I was glad to find this video. I thought I was the only one who experienced this. I purchased Jordan 1 unc off white three times on stockx. There was an issue each time and i had to be reimbursed but each time the price went up. I was tired of the run around and purchased them on GOAT.
Ahhh that’s frustrating. I had my card decline on StockX twice for Union 1s and I was super annoyed. Ended up buying them a few months later and had to pay way more $ 😞
I compared what you said with my Obsidians from Nike and everything is the same. The tongue is twisted, it is shorter than my bred 1, shattereds, and other J 1s. The slope is all the same as yours. Those are authentic.
Just found this channel this is the first video I have seen. Honestly an eye opener because I’ve only ever bought one pair of shoes off stock x which were a pair of vans. I never had trouble getting the shoe but a lot of my sneaker head friends started talking about them not being reliable and how they had their troubles with refunds and not receiving shoes. I was also recently scammed for a pair of Travis Scott nike SB. Thank you I have liked and subscribed
I have over 30 transactions on StockX and almost all of them were great, no problems. I have had 2 issues and the first was handled and I still don't know what to do about these Jordan 1s. I'll have an update in the next video! Thanks for subscribing.
Bro its crazy, i've been bidding for both these trainers (from uk) but taking forever for my bid for accepted despite it being competitively place in comparison to recent sales. This vid deffo reminded to check out stock x purchases i make in future
Yeah Blake last week I ordered the Yeezy 380 Mist and it says that the seller hasn’t even shipped it. It was supposed to arrive this week but I am international all the way in the Philippines so it takes time and if the seller hasn’t even shipped it then it will take so much more time than the arrival date this week. You explained it so well and I hope StockX can see this and how it may lose them customers.
Yeah that’s awful. Whenever I sell something I ship asap. I have never went past the 2 days allowed for shipping. Unfortunately not everyone cares as much though.
Hi, there. I'm also in the Philippines and incidentally also bought a pair of Mist RF from Stockx. Mine arrived last week, even with the quarantine lockdown going on. Tracked the package on DHL's site. Took about a week to get here, but I did get a notification that the seller had shipped to Stockx within a day or so from my bid being accepted. Hope you get yours soon, too! The Mists are great in person.
Blake Yarbrough Hey man. An update. After all this I contacted StockX and within a day they got it on an airplane on the way here to the Philippines. I then contacted the carrier, DHL, and coordinated with them. The original delivery time was gonna be April 21st, but, after talking with StockX and DHL they rushed it and shipped it all within a day, and now they just sent it out for delivery now, or so they told me. I learned from this that most of this was the sellers fault, but, also that StockX did nothing about the late seller shipping. However, both StockX and DHL customer service was very understanding and helpful, I just hope that StockX enforces stricter seller policies.
I have a pair of these shoes, I got them from stockx, when they came in I had the exact same feeling as you, the box felt flimsy the tongue was super crooked and the toebox had creasing on it brand new. I can send you pictures of them if you would like. Ultimately I am not satisfied with StockX with this shoe, finally found someone with the same issue as me. (edit: I already cut off the tag because they are my first jordan 1's and I wouldn't know any better)
Bro it seems like you're new to the sneaker game, some sneakers are us releases some are European releases, personally I stay away from yeezys but I have plenty of similar experiences with jordans where I felt they were fake but they ended up to be real
Goat always came in clutch💯 and I never had an issue with potentially getting a fake. I ordered my shoes and they got here in 3 days and I didn’t even pay extra for fast shipping
Did you get a shoe? Reason I'm asking because I just made my 1st purchase from them and today I got a email saying the shoe didn't pass the test and they are looking for another seller..did u get a shoe??
Bought my first stock x pair about 3 weeks ago ( lebron 17 monstars ) and apart from about 2 week delivery because of pandemic i got a very fair price and very happy with the shoes 1000% real sneaker
I bought some Jordan 3 crimson from StockX. After watching you video I began inspecting my shoe. Unfortunately, I could not compare to another shoe. But the box had the stamp inside that you mentioned. I inspected everything else such as stitching, logo, and tags and everything indicates that shoe is genuine. However, I lost that peace of mind that the shoes in genuine because if it happened to you it can happen to me.
skilashi21 I have bought over 30 shoes from StockX with little to no issues. Overall they do a good job. I just think everyone should make sure their shoes are authentic. 👌
I’ve used both Goat and StockX, 30+ transactions between them and I’m a big fan of both platforms. One thing I wish StockX did was to let you take a slightly higher payout in store credit instead of cash. Goat lets you save the PayPal fees by taking store credit instead of cash.
Yeah that is a nice option GOAT gives you. I always take the cash out option but its nice to have the option. I have over 30 transactions on stockx with only 1 other major issue that they were able to resolve for me. If you saw the email today buyers now have to pay a 3% fee starting in like 2 weeks. Curious to see how this plays out. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Bought my Boost from StockX and they're authentic and I where them all the time. I've also gotten fakes from StockX too. I've also purchased some older sneakers from 2012 and they were really discolored. I think they should have returned those shoes to the seller.
I think u go with your gut. I feel the same way I’ve looked at Jordan’s for years but I question every pair of shoes I get and I order a lot online. Usually something throws u off for a reason. Ppl make mistakes. I say prolly unauthorized or something.
Loving the content bro! I also had a pair of fake obsidians that were delivered to me from stockx, I ordered 8 pairs from them and 1 pair was blatantly different, the box was off, and the shoe was also different under blacklight. Stockx basically told me they were authentic multiple times and i ended up having to file a credit card claim against that charge. They then banned my account from purchasing and selling.
bought jordan 3 court purple and the seller took a week to ship the shoes were at stockx for 3 days and they finally authenticated them and they were fake i paid 235 and i still haven’t got my money back after 5 days
I am also a perfectionist lol. The first time I bought on StockX I bought a pair of Onyx 380s (I left another comment on one of your videos about them). I am happy with them, and convinced they are real. This is mostly because they are from StockX so I trust them. But also because of some small, nit picky, flaws.. The line down the middle of the sneaker is thinner comparing it to my Calcite 380s. The sole isn't "perfectly" glued on, it overlaps just slightly in the back on one of the shoes (I could send pics to get a better idea of what I'm talking about). The point I'm making is there are some manufacturing flaws that I wouldn't expect a fake sneaker to have. Also, they are 380s so you can catch them for under retail most of the time. I wear all my shoes and don't intend on reselling any of them. So it doesn't bug me that much. But when I pay extra for an authentic sneaker, I want it to be legit. I just bought a pair of Zebra 350s, I will check them for about an hour when I receive them. More than likely they will be from the most recent restock in the EU, so there will be differences with the numbers on the tags comparable to the US models. But I am expecting them to be legit because they are from StockX. I think StockX should have a feature that let's you send a pair of sneakers back to their legit checkers to have them checked even further if the buyer has any suspicions that the shoe is fake.
Blake Yarbrough thanks. Also I looked at my bloodlines and the back has the same short and wide box and the tongue is tilted like your and the back is curved but my box has a stamp. And I got mine at footlocker
I’ve sold 6 pairs of shoes on stockx and I’ve never had an issue, they spam me with emails when I’m nearing the shipping date, easy to ship to them, it’s pretty good... I hate the fees and think discounted fees for being early would be nice cuz like I sold my Jordan 1 retro 85 and lost like $125 cuz of fees even though I shipped fast
I’ve been waiting for another video from you bro another banger I see other people have opinions about stock x I’ve been waiting for you to make a video like this bro!
I loved stock x but as time goes on the more and more exposed they become, ironically Sean Wotherspoon even said it himself. They advocate changing the sneaker game but sell fakes with poor customer service? It’s right in front of our eyes
I just got in my court purple 2020 directly from nike and the tonuge is just as crooked. as well I work at shoe palace and when I received my obsidians from in store It didnt have a stamp on the lid either.
gotta be click bait, you literally just had your “brothers” pair right there showing off the sail laces. Why would you not compare your pair with his pairs. Leads me to believe maybe your brothers pair are questionable, or your just click-bait for subs.
Kevin Wilson same thing i thought he compared every other 1 in his collection that definitely will differ just to make a comparison except his brothers pair
Just subbed i have both of these and was lucky to purchase at retail . I just checked my obsidian 1s and the heel area looks completely off i really didn't look at them saw them like that when i got them and was happy did a quick once over. After watching you compare the slope on the heel its the same for me but the heel cup area seems like a b grade and someone might think they might be fishy. But they 100% legit straight from a footlocker store. Thats all the feedback i can give you. Oh wait also the tongues are the same for me both look like yours. And since im doing all this i checked my box lid no stamp . But it was in the bottom part of the box same as a box you shown i don't remember which one you said right now hope that helps. I do reviews every Saturday if you want to check out some reviews. Under the title Sneakerhead Saturday. I actually haven't done a review on these . Probably would have help you if i did.
I have bought 15+ shoes from stock x, honestly I’ve never really had issues until I got my air max 1 “the 6.” The bottoms were worn, there was creases, stains. I got the refund and everything was settled. Shit happens, but for most of the time they got my order right.
Yeah so far I’ve ordered 35 items from them anywhere from $30-$1,600 and have only had 2 issues. Usually pretty good. I understand mistakes just wish they were more helpful when an actual issue happens.
I ordered a pair that were "pre-authenticated" sitting at a GOAT headquarters ready to be shipped. I got them in and the shoes had defects and they didn't glow in the dark. The fact that they don't glow in the dark blows my mind since they were supposed to authenticated. I'm waiting in a response now to get a full refund.
Bought a pair of new palace shirts from stock x. Got the shorts and tried them on... had a Publix receipt in the pocket. Which means they didn’t even look at the shorts and they were not new. They made me pay for shipping to send shorts back. Did get refunded my money but I wanted the shorts...Been using goat ever since
And don't sweat the timing on delivery. I've waited 3 weeks before. Stockx is worldwide now with locations in Hong Kong and Australia. Shoes coming from Asia are gonna take longer than shoes coming from Florida to New york..
Blake, I took a look at a couple of Obsidians from my closet... the tongue is pretty crooked and the heel of mine, while it isn't as pronounced a curve as yours, does curve in. The box not having a stamp is odd and probably alarming. The one thing you didn't comment on too much was the quality or cut of the shoe (up close details). The quality on Obsidians are generally regarded as fairly good on the J1 spectrum. The leather in the toe box and side panels, in Sail are generally very good, soft, buttery. The university blue portions of the shoe are also, likewise, very soft. How was your StockX pair?
BUSURF2 thanks for commenting! Overall the quality looks fine I’m pretty sure they’re fine BUT the box missing the stamp is SO weird. I’m sure it’s possible that there’s not a stamp but I feel like the odds of that are so small. I still don’t know what I should do at this point.
I would like it if they attached an RFID or QR tag that you could scan with your phone to check for the authenticity. The reason I say this is because of people selling fakes on places like eBay or Depop with StockX tags on
Jason James every online platform you sell you run a risk whether your selling or buying. I just think that we see more issues on stock X than on goat. Not saying it doesn’t happen on goat but maybe not as much as stock X
jorge ezquivel I understand it’s a risk I use StockX often never any problem then I try goat for used shoes and get burnt like I said I understand there’s risk I’m just saying be careful. Much love stay safe✊🏾
I got mine from foot locker.. and I just compared them to my other 1s. Your right they are lower highs. So I don’t think it’s a fake. But my box does have the stamp so idk
Horrible experience from Stock x . Ordered the Jordan 1 court purple and the seller did not ship the shoes out at all . Literally said waiting for seller to ship for like 5 days straight . This is why I will forever use GOAT from now on .
I just bought old Air Max 90s and clearly, someone wore the shoes and cleaned the bottoms off. They did not clean the white front off as well as they did the bottom so I knew I was finessed. I buy several shoes from Stock X and this is the only pair that I have been disappointed with. I am so mad about it, the new shoes are just sitting there right now. I paid $177 so that under retail but I would have gladly paid over for real DS Air Maxes. The shoe laces don't look fresh either. StockX has to do better.
I was scammed bad by Stockx for the 700 Wave Runners. I bought them in February 2021. When they arrived, I cut the tag and put them in my back in the box to wear the next day. I never wound up wearing them though. Last month, I tried to sell them back to Stockx because the price is high now, and they're going to re-release in August. They failed verification for being fake. Then they sent the fakes back to me and charged me $15. I am still livid. I'm not an authenticator. When I removed the Stockx tag, I placed my trust in them. How am I, a casual customer supposed to know they were fake? Email after email after email, customer service Tweets, Tweets to the Stockx founder, a certified letter to their corporate office... All I get are the same pre-written replies that tell me they basically don't care.
Boycott StockX!!! Soon as Goat gets more apparel inventory, they'll get way more business, which = more price transparency, which = lower pricing to compete w/ stockX!!! StockX gets away w/ selling fakes here & there! Especially if the buyer doesn't have a voice or isn't a UA-camr! They only care about their sellers because they're stockX's true customer! They're fee's went through the roof! Looks all good until u check out😳 & to top it off, u can't even earn free shipping after your 5th purchase👎🏾👎🏾we the consumer's need to exercise our power on stockX!!!
If you live in the UK, you can make a consumer law claim and get a refund no matter what, even if the shoes are legit. It’s called “Right of Withdrawal”.
Just ordered the Jordan 5 Moonlight on sunday Sept 26. It still says waiting for seller to ship... I'm nervous as shit now smh. Not a good first time buy from stockx
Unfortunately both StockX and Goat seem to allow sellers well past the “2 business days” to ship an item which is frustrating as the buyer. Anytime I sell on those platforms I’m prepared to ship same day or within 24 hrs. Sucks that there’s not harsher penalties for the lazy sellers on there. Hopefully you get your shoes and don’t experience any issues other than possibly slow shipping. 👍
Not that I’m defending StockX, but they shouldn’t have to compensate a buyer if an order gets cancelled. They’re not responsible for an individual seller to ship out an order, maybe if StockX ran all their business out of their own inventory it’d make sense to compensate when orders are cancelled. StockX is a middle man dealing with shipping internationally, I recently purchased the Travis 4s from StockX and it took 3 weeks to receive the shoes. I live in Michigan which has a StockX facility in Detroit so shipping isn’t usually long after it arrives in Detroit, but due to my order coming from Canada it took forever I’m assuming with customs because of Coronavirus. So I think as a consumer we just have to keep that in mind, because I was also upset about the delay in my order.
The tongue is supposed to be crooked. A straight tongue is sketchy. Also the reps have very little wrinkles if any on the tongue. The more tongue wrinkles the better. Feel the tongue width. The reps usually have a thicker tongue. Look for the hour glass shape. Feel the inside heel. On fake pairs it's 2 separate pieces if padding. Real ones have 1 piece of padding rolled around the heel. Compare the size labels. Reps usually have thicker or thinner size than a real size tag.
Wondering what’s gonna happen w my Ben & Jerry Dunk, bought it April 1, waiting on Authenuation, and shipping... payed $1G, are they gonna jus gonna get me the next pair of shit goes missing... doubt it... prob won’t sleep til Fri... smh
I've had the same problem the 3 times I've bought kicks before they were officially released in the states and every time I waited more than 2 weeks and didn't get 2 of them until after their U.S release so that completely defeated the purpose. I'll never buy anything from stock X other than general releases after they have been out for a while, and that's only bcuz I can get them well below retail, as for early releases or expensive hype I use Goat and 2 other sites that aren't as popular yet that I've never had a issue
You can't always go by the inclusion of the stamp. I bought a pair of Jordan 1 Chi to NC patent leather from Nike and I didn't have a stamp. Hit on SNKRS app, came in nike box with an invoice and no stamp.
Have had about 3 notable issues in 15 transactions with them over the past couple of years. A pair of Nike AJ3 Tinker Airmax didn't come with the Nike Air hangtag, a pair of AJ2 Radio Raheems were missing the shoe trees, but other than that the shoes themselves were fine... ds condition and nothing looked off. Emailed regarding the tag and they answered within a few days, but apparently that falls within their regulations for what can be considered ds, "can be missing accessories like extra shoelaces, tags, etc." Little annoyed at that, but it did come with all the other accessories besides the hangtag. The third was bidding related. They cancelled a winning bid of mine and couldn't get me the shoes for a similar price, so ended up passing since the next low bid was $50 higher. Was a bit pissed at that. I did get a full refund like you. Other than those, my experience with Stockx has generally been good. Shipping times to my international location have typically taken no more than a week or so.
Xmasochist yeah I think it’s whack that “accessories” like laces, tags etc are not considered part of the shoe being DS. To me that is necessary. I’ve heard of shoes like off whites missing extra laces and stuff. Sucks when you spend so much money. Thanks for the comment 👏
@@BlakeYarbrough but of csuse if their tag was missing from the shoe that would be an issue but they can send you a shoe without a tag and it's not... Bullshit how it works in their favor
I feel you. I spent a ton on their app too and waiting days for a reply on their customer service line is BS when they claim that prices are real-time. I can’t wait days when prices change by the minute.
Couple things, A really good way to tell if your obsidians are fake is to take out the insoles and compare them to your brothers pair. They should be identical. Any variation you see should be a red flag, material, feel, pattern and direction of the glue stripes, etc. I have never bought a pair of ones without the stamp on the lid, that is very strange. About your idea for stockx seller reward system it won't work because stockx has several loopholes that people exploit. All you need is a "label plug" and basically you can have them scan your label prematurely before you even have or pack up the shoes, this way it tricks the system into thinking that shoe has already been shipped when that is not the case. Too many sellers exploit this now when trying to get "presales" for high prices. All it takes is someone who works at UPS to scan for you. Stockx cant really do anything to follow up on this besides call UPS and hound them for the whereabouts of a specific package which is not practical. This might be how they lost your shoe (just a guess). Sometimes sellers scan a shoe and then never even acquire it so they never ship out and then you have a shoe "lost in shipping." They have a lot of issues to work out but I still like them. Whenever you have a problem with a purchase you need to contact them immediately within 3 days of receiving the item and complain as much as you can.
Hey man I appreciate the thorough comment! Definitely a valid reason why my quick shipping reward would not work, didn't think of that type of loophole. I'll have an update coming soon in regards to what I decide to do with them.
Dont have the waverunners but just copped the Earths from Stock X and I really dig them. Going to look good with some khaki/tan cargo shorts. I havent ran into any issue with Stockx yet and purchased quite a bit of shoes from them. Still waiting for the quarantine to lift. I'm wanting to break out those 90s that I bought from you a few weeks ago. Stay safe man.
They updated the model and I believe it’s not called an OG because of the different shape in the back. It’s a thing they do with new models. Go on Stock X and you will see when you compare with older 1’s that this one in the back is a bit tilted forward so it’s nothing wired with that pair I believe.
Anyone else noticed when you buy a pair on StockX at a good ask (usually pre release) and then your order gets cancelled? StockX tell me it's not passed authentication but I've had this a lot recently, usually on pairs which have risen on price fast. Smells fishy to me..
Unfortunately it happened to me on the Sean Wotherspoon air max. I bought the all accessory pair for around $680 and they didn’t pass authentication (I think the seller only had the extra laces not all accessories because StockX changed the way they titled each shoe shortly after) but anyway by the time I got my refund the all accessory pair was well over $1,000 so I ended up never getting them. 😔
I have Travis’s, nigels, and obsidians. My obsidians are shorter than the other two. However, my box has the stamp. I wouldn’t use the stamp as a way to legit check though. Similarly, my obsidians are shaped slightly different.
I agree with what he said about the sellers, I bought some Nike Dunk lows hyper cobalts 3 days ago and it took the seller 2 days almost 3 to ship it out to StockX for authentication, they should really do something about sellers like that
If you gotta do all that just to determine if they’re fake or not then don’t worry about it, it’s definitely a shoe so that ain’t fake stop being worried about what factory it came from.
I’ve been asked this question A LOT. Yes, I did compare my pair to my brothers pair for quality, leather, tags, etc... but he wears a smaller size than me. I only compared my pairs in the video because they are all the same size 👌
Blake Yarbrough did your brothers “curve “ at the back as well ?
Oh
Man I fear da God i hope I don't get fakes!!! I just ordered air force 1 type trip. White.. then started to watch all these vid.. P.S I just subscribed
Sorry 😐 only just seen this!
But.... great minds think alike
Blake Yarbrough I got the unc 1S like yours I work at a shoes store in Wilmington Nc (mj’s hometown) and my tongue was the same before lacing
stock x needs better customer service options in particular a call center. its annoying trying to email them just to receive a copy and paste response. a company of their size should obviously have a phone number
Jarod P facts. Their first email out is always automated and doesn’t answer whatever question(s) you asked them.
Jarod P fax
Jarod P agreed I will not be buying from them until they upgrade their customer service
so i just had an issue with stockx and said i want to talk to someone in person. they actually scheduled a call with me and the live person was so much better. got 5 days of emails worth of info to me in about 3 min.
Jonathan Jasinski damn really? i have had issues in the past and asked to speak to someone and they basically told me no lol. that must me new
Everyone has scared me away from StockX lol
Ive made 35-40 purchases with them and very few issues. Maybe 2-3 and mainly with shipping updates and delays. That's just me, I've mainly had a pretty good experience. Some others have had awful experiences. I can certainly tell you that with them raising their fees even higher they better step up their service as well. I need great service to pay more than a 10% premium on top of the purchase price.
One of my friends said he bought something off stockx, and once it went through he noticed that the shipping address had changed. He immediately cancelled the order and hasn’t used them since. He felt there was some scam going on.
@@BlakeYarbrough do you think if I bought some lebron zoom 2s, theyd be pretty much brand new? Im having a hard tome believing it
I feel the same way. Heard many concerns about stock x
nah fr
Use a black light, replica factories use a fading ink to mark where cuts should be made. A black light will expose those marks and if you see those marks 100% replicas
Dope thank you. I had a black light flashlight but lost it when I moved I think.
Caleb Maxwell Ahh, no shit. I possibly got a fake Air Max/ Off White 97 in the menta color 2 days ago. Most things match but the print on both shoes don’t match.
Caleb maxwell
you are 100% true my friend
true. i do this to all sneakers i buy, specially when i buy in person. i have caught a few fakes doing this
Yea, i wasnt sure about my mcas and with blacklight they out real. They have a little swipe aroud the “air” text which is also only visible with blacklight. So the best is lookup blacklight details about your pair and make sure there are no factory markings
Bro you have the same shoe there (“your brothers”) and you compare the shoes to every other shoe except those... what sense does that make
I WAS SCREAMING AT THE SCREEN 'WHY YOU NO CHECK"
For real.
Facts I was getting so mad
Joeschmoe I’m saying this whole video! But it’s not click bait 🤔
Among all the Jordans he owns...he missed out the exact same model to compare!?
Thank you for this video. I just bought my first pair of shoes on stock x. I’m praying I have this experience
I think those are real because mine were exactly like that.
Evan Grimm thanks
Same
@@BlakeYarbrough why didn't you just compare to your brothers shoe????
@@danielmartin6808 I did compare to my brothers pair. As far as quality they look the same but we don't wear the same size so could compare height with his.
Me too
I’m so scared of getting fakes off stock x 🙍♀️
Just do a lot of research on the shoe so you know how to spot a fake.
@@Billycar1130 the thing is the only way you're gonna know is when the shoe gets to you and there are no refunds.
Joshboss exactly, that’s so lame there’s no refunds.
M9eleven use Klekt
Use goat I promise it’s so much better
I ordered a pair of fear of god raid 1s and they came to me with a bunch of white marks and even a piece was missing from the tongue which is very noticeable Idk how it went through the verification process. If they could send an email or something saying oh the shoes were deemed as authentic but they have some flaws, would you still want this pair or no, and then show what’s flawed on the shoe. Just needs transparency with their customers
Rodrigo Quiroz i once bought the true blue 3s and they came slightly creased like Someone had put them on and walked in them. Got them for a steal so couldn’t complain to much
Agreed!
I also bought a pair of the FoG Raids in the bone colorway from StockX. The box was in good condition and the shoes had all of the packaging compared to the black pair I ordered through SNKRS. After a few months of wearing, I noticed the left shoe had too many factory flaws. The Nike check was off center, stitching flaw on toe box, and the production date didn’t match the right shoe. I honestly think a seller put a fake shoe with a real shoe to get it to pass StockX authenticity. Wish I would’ve noticed before removing the tag! Prob never buying from them again.
@@yorickanderson1887 The number of factory flaws may be suspicious, but as for mismatched production dates from left shoe to right shoe in the same box... those are quite common for Nikes. I have more than a few pairs all purchased from official Nike retailers that don't have exact matching prod dates.
Raids are 🔥🔥🔥
My first purchase on stockx was a already worn-in shoe lmao. It had some stains on the textile as well. Bought a different colorway of the same shoe and it looked pretty legit. It really depends on the seller. Why cant these shoe companies just make enough pairs for everyone that wants one. Have a pre-order list, make enough pairs for those preorders. Once you place the preorder, there are no refunds. So the shoe company doesnt get robbed and everyone is happy.
This is what they told me when they refunded me: “As you know, we have a multi-step authentication process to ensure that your order is correct in every way. Unfortunately, your recent order for the adidas Alphaedge 4D Reflective White didn't make it all the way through that process. As a result, we have cancelled your order and have issued a full refund” I’m guessing the pair they received weren’t authentic?🤷🏽♂️
Yeah I had 2 refunds for the same reason. The only issue for me with StockX is the time it takes. But u figure the wait time is for authentication so its really just a peeve
GOAT over StockX 👏🏾
a couple of months ago it was stockx over goat but lately stockx takes 3-4 weeks just to send shoes or the payout for shoes being sold. I now use goat because they ship so much faster and i love how i can use afterpay so instead of paying lets say 300 at once u can split it into 4 payments every 2 weeks
Especially, when it comes to buying gently worn items. Buy some sneakers for a steal.
Hey bro, the same thing about your last pair happened to me (except I was the seller of the shoe). Ultimately, I think UPS or someone stole the shoe, and I was paid my payout and the buyer was refunded their money. I know it sucks, but there isn't much you can do about someone stealing the shoe. Also, it could be held up in their warehouse because of the Covid-19.
I actually just bought a shoe that didn't pass authentication. But what they did was instead of refunding me, they automatically bought the lowest ask for the shoe I bought, and are covering the difference in cost. Not sure why they did this for me (although it could be because my last order the seller didn't ship), but I will take it.
Also, Stockx is really dropping the ball with these added fees again. They're going to lose their entire customer base, if they haven't already. I mainly use goat now, and find their services much better.
Ive heard that as well, and will also be looking primarily on goat from now on
You could try to look at them with a black light. It shows the stitching and if it’s fake then it’ll be noticeable. You could compare it with a real Jordan 1
I’ve experienced all the same emotions when I received my obsidians from StockX. I also bought a second pair from footlocker and still was unsure of the authenticity. The general consensus is Nike over produced the obsidians to combat the resellers. As a result quality control took a hit and ultimately we the consumers did as well.
Thanks for the comment! I have definitely seen inconsistencies with quality. I’ve now looked at over 15 pairs in person. None are exactly the same.
I got the Jordan 1 court purples off of SNKRS and they look like your Obsidians. Maybe it’s just Jordan 1 quality now
Not all 1s are the same exact height. I’ve had 30 paid from footlocker. I doubt people are faking this pair. Some boxes also don’t have stamps, check for price tag on the box. Usually only EU releases don’t have price tag on box
I have bought several pairs from StockX now and mine have all been authentic and delivered quickly. Similar to your experience with the waverunners, it's been great. Recently I managed to luck out on SNEAKRS for the Jordan 1 Court Purples, but I also won another raffle from END. The pair from SNEAKRS had a stamp in the lid box and the pair from END didn't. Also, my two pairs of travis' didn't have stamps in the lid and are european pairs. I think ultimately there's so much variation in production that it is sometimes difficult to authenticate. Plus there's so many contradicting legit check videos on youtube for all pairs. Invest in a black light torch (great way to authenticate most sneakers). Having held fake pairs of sneakers I can honestly say that you can ALWAYS tell between authentic and non authentic. Smell being a big give away! Great video however! Subbed. *EDIT* Having watched the ending of your video regarding your lost order. I think in the current climate with the global pandemic, I feel like there has to be a little bit of slack given to StockX and delivery companies. Bear in mind that your order being lost or a problem in transit is purely on the delivery courier / service, not StockX. I've ordered stuff from several places over the last 4 weeks and on a few occasions my packages have gone missing or not arrived, this has always been a delivery service issue and not the retailer.
Thanks for your opinion about stockx, I'll keep it in mind when purchasing from them in the future.
You’re welcome. I’ve purchased 35 items from them. Overall a good place to buy but not perfect.
I was glad to find this video. I thought I was the only one who experienced this. I purchased Jordan 1 unc off white three times on stockx. There was an issue each time and i had to be reimbursed but each time the price went up. I was tired of the run around and purchased them on GOAT.
Ahhh that’s frustrating. I had my card decline on StockX twice for Union 1s and I was super annoyed. Ended up buying them a few months later and had to pay way more $ 😞
I compared what you said with my Obsidians from Nike and everything is the same. The tongue is twisted, it is shorter than my bred 1, shattereds, and other J 1s. The slope is all the same as yours. Those are authentic.
Thanks for doing that and commenting I appreciate it.
Just found this channel this is the first video I have seen. Honestly an eye opener because I’ve only ever bought one pair of shoes off stock x which were a pair of vans. I never had trouble getting the shoe but a lot of my sneaker head friends started talking about them not being reliable and how they had their troubles with refunds and not receiving shoes. I was also recently scammed for a pair of Travis Scott nike SB. Thank you I have liked and subscribed
I have over 30 transactions on StockX and almost all of them were great, no problems. I have had 2 issues and the first was handled and I still don't know what to do about these Jordan 1s. I'll have an update in the next video! Thanks for subscribing.
Bro its crazy, i've been bidding for both these trainers (from uk) but taking forever for my bid for accepted despite it being competitively place in comparison to recent sales. This vid deffo reminded to check out stock x purchases i make in future
Yeah Blake last week I ordered the Yeezy 380 Mist and it says that the seller hasn’t even shipped it. It was supposed to arrive this week but I am international all the way in the Philippines so it takes time and if the seller hasn’t even shipped it then it will take so much more time than the arrival date this week. You explained it so well and I hope StockX can see this and how it may lose them customers.
Yeah that’s awful. Whenever I sell something I ship asap. I have never went past the 2 days allowed for shipping. Unfortunately not everyone cares as much though.
Hi, there. I'm also in the Philippines and incidentally also bought a pair of Mist RF from Stockx. Mine arrived last week, even with the quarantine lockdown going on. Tracked the package on DHL's site. Took about a week to get here, but I did get a notification that the seller had shipped to Stockx within a day or so from my bid being accepted. Hope you get yours soon, too! The Mists are great in person.
Blake Yarbrough Hey man. An update. After all this I contacted StockX and within a day they got it on an airplane on the way here to the Philippines. I then contacted the carrier, DHL, and coordinated with them. The original delivery time was gonna be April 21st, but, after talking with StockX and DHL they rushed it and shipped it all within a day, and now they just sent it out for delivery now, or so they told me. I learned from this that most of this was the sellers fault, but, also that StockX did nothing about the late seller shipping. However, both StockX and DHL customer service was very understanding and helpful, I just hope that StockX enforces stricter seller policies.
I have a pair of these shoes, I got them from stockx, when they came in I had the exact same feeling as you, the box felt flimsy the tongue was super crooked and the toebox had creasing on it brand new. I can send you pictures of them if you would like. Ultimately I am not satisfied with StockX with this shoe, finally found someone with the same issue as me. (edit: I already cut off the tag because they are my first jordan 1's and I wouldn't know any better)
Thanks for the comment bro! Feel free to dm me on Instagram @_blakeyarbrough
I got mine from footlocker and came exactly like his did in the video. Mine also had toe creasing and am not bothered by it at all.
Bro it seems like you're new to the sneaker game, some sneakers are us releases some are European releases, personally I stay away from yeezys but I have plenty of similar experiences with jordans where I felt they were fake but they ended up to be real
Goat always came in clutch💯 and I never had an issue with potentially getting a fake. I ordered my shoes and they got here in 3 days and I didn’t even pay extra for fast shipping
I ordered a pair of shoes that didn’t pass the test, so StockX connected my order wit another seller with no additional charge
Did you get a shoe? Reason I'm asking because I just made my 1st purchase from them and today I got a email saying the shoe didn't pass the test and they are looking for another seller..did u get a shoe??
@@reginagould3184 have you got your shoe?
@@brianna4174 yes I got them. And they were official
Bought my first stock x pair about 3 weeks ago ( lebron 17 monstars ) and apart from about 2 week delivery because of pandemic i got a very fair price and very happy with the shoes 1000% real sneaker
I’ve had more good experiences than bad 👍
I noticed that too with the obsidians/ unc 1s but thats how they come i got mine from footlocker and on the box it didnt have a stamp
I bought some Jordan 3 crimson from StockX. After watching you video I began inspecting my shoe. Unfortunately, I could not compare to another shoe. But the box had the stamp inside that you mentioned. I inspected everything else such as stitching, logo, and tags and everything indicates that shoe is genuine. However, I lost that peace of mind that the shoes in genuine because if it happened to you it can happen to me.
skilashi21 I have bought over 30 shoes from StockX with little to no issues. Overall they do a good job. I just think everyone should make sure their shoes are authentic. 👌
I’ve used both Goat and StockX, 30+ transactions between them and I’m a big fan of both platforms. One thing I wish StockX did was to let you take a slightly higher payout in store credit instead of cash. Goat lets you save the PayPal fees by taking store credit instead of cash.
Yeah that is a nice option GOAT gives you. I always take the cash out option but its nice to have the option. I have over 30 transactions on stockx with only 1 other major issue that they were able to resolve for me. If you saw the email today buyers now have to pay a 3% fee starting in like 2 weeks. Curious to see how this plays out. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Maybe good for selling. Not for buyers
Can we get a shoe collection video
Bought my Boost from StockX and they're authentic and I where them all the time. I've also gotten fakes from StockX too. I've also purchased some older sneakers from 2012 and they were really discolored. I think they should have returned those shoes to the seller.
First video of yours I’ve seen and the production quality is amazing - You got my sub😁
thank you!
I think u go with your gut. I feel the same way I’ve looked at Jordan’s for years but I question every pair of shoes I get and I order a lot online. Usually something throws u off for a reason. Ppl make mistakes. I say prolly unauthorized or something.
Loving the content bro! I also had a pair of fake obsidians that were delivered to me from stockx, I ordered 8 pairs from them and 1 pair was blatantly different, the box was off, and the shoe was also different under blacklight. Stockx basically told me they were authentic multiple times and i ended up having to file a credit card claim against that charge. They then banned my account from purchasing and selling.
That's what I am afraid of having to deal with. I'll be posting an update in my next video. I appreciate you sharing your story.
bought jordan 3 court purple and the seller took a week to ship the shoes were at stockx for 3 days and they finally authenticated them and they were fake i paid 235 and i still haven’t got my money back after 5 days
I hope you are able to get your money back. Sorry to hear that happened thanks for sharing your story.
I am also a perfectionist lol. The first time I bought on StockX I bought a pair of Onyx 380s (I left another comment on one of your videos about them). I am happy with them, and convinced they are real. This is mostly because they are from StockX so I trust them. But also because of some small, nit picky, flaws.. The line down the middle of the sneaker is thinner comparing it to my Calcite 380s. The sole isn't "perfectly" glued on, it overlaps just slightly in the back on one of the shoes (I could send pics to get a better idea of what I'm talking about).
The point I'm making is there are some manufacturing flaws that I wouldn't expect a fake sneaker to have. Also, they are 380s so you can catch them for under retail most of the time.
I wear all my shoes and don't intend on reselling any of them. So it doesn't bug me that much. But when I pay extra for an authentic sneaker, I want it to be legit.
I just bought a pair of Zebra 350s, I will check them for about an hour when I receive them. More than likely they will be from the most recent restock in the EU, so there will be differences with the numbers on the tags comparable to the US models. But I am expecting them to be legit because they are from StockX.
I think StockX should have a feature that let's you send a pair of sneakers back to their legit checkers to have them checked even further if the buyer has any suspicions that the shoe is fake.
That happens to my Jordan’s too with the toung but I bought my from foot locker
Appreciate this video a lot. I was thinking about buying the Off White vapor street ‘polarized blue’ but couldn’t decide to do it on Stock X or Goat.
I have had more good experiences on StockX than bad. I know StockX now charges sales tax I’m not sure if GOAT has started doing that yet or not.
Blake Yarbrough thanks. Also I looked at my bloodlines and the back has the same short and wide box and the tongue is tilted like your and the back is curved but my box has a stamp. And I got mine at footlocker
I’ve sold 6 pairs of shoes on stockx and I’ve never had an issue, they spam me with emails when I’m nearing the shipping date, easy to ship to them, it’s pretty good... I hate the fees and think discounted fees for being early would be nice cuz like I sold my Jordan 1 retro 85 and lost like $125 cuz of fees even though I shipped fast
I’ve been waiting for another video from you bro another banger I see other people have opinions about stock x I’ve been waiting for you to make a video like this bro!
I loved stock x but as time goes on the more and more exposed they become, ironically Sean Wotherspoon even said it himself. They advocate changing the sneaker game but sell fakes with poor customer service? It’s right in front of our eyes
that was a steal. Now they are 500+ sheeshh. love your content!!
Love the video, was starting to wonder if u were gunna drop during quarentine. Glad to have u back
John Austin thanks bro
@@BlakeYarbrough btw them obsidians are sus and I would request a refund with pics of the areas of complaint
yo man congrats on the insane growth on ur channel
Thanks bro 🙏
The stamp for my obsidians is in the bottom of the box, not on the lid
thank you!
I just got in my court purple 2020 directly from nike and the tonuge is just as crooked. as well I work at shoe palace and when I received my obsidians from in store It didnt have a stamp on the lid either.
gotta be click bait, you literally just had your “brothers” pair right there showing off the sail laces. Why would you not compare your pair with his pairs. Leads me to believe maybe your brothers pair are questionable, or your just click-bait for subs.
Kevin Wilson same thing i thought he compared every other 1 in his collection that definitely will differ just to make a comparison except his brothers pair
I think cause his brothers are already wore and broken in.
Michael Walton he has worn his other shoes too and look different
Yeah click bait all the way what a waste of time, why did you not compare what a waste of time
Just wanted to flex his collection tbh
Awesome video, keep up the hard work man!
thank you so much!
Stock X is a certified middle man. They aren't the best at giving promotions unless it helps them
Just subbed i have both of these and was lucky to purchase at retail . I just checked my obsidian 1s and the heel area looks completely off i really didn't look at them saw them like that when i got them and was happy did a quick once over. After watching you compare the slope on the heel its the same for me but the heel cup area seems like a b grade and someone might think they might be fishy. But they 100% legit straight from a footlocker store. Thats all the feedback i can give you. Oh wait also the tongues are the same for me both look like yours. And since im doing all this i checked my box lid no stamp . But it was in the bottom part of the box same as a box you shown i don't remember which one you said right now hope that helps. I do reviews every Saturday if you want to check out some reviews. Under the title Sneakerhead Saturday. I actually haven't done a review on these . Probably would have help you if i did.
I have bought 15+ shoes from stock x, honestly I’ve never really had issues until I got my air max 1 “the 6.” The bottoms were worn, there was creases, stains. I got the refund and everything was settled. Shit happens, but for most of the time they got my order right.
Yeah so far I’ve ordered 35 items from them anywhere from $30-$1,600 and have only had 2 issues. Usually pretty good. I understand mistakes just wish they were more helpful when an actual issue happens.
Those with the white laces though look fire! Gonna have to add them to the rotation soon....
Yeah bro 🔥🔥🔥
I am dealing with the same problem front GOAT on a pair of 700 V3s bro. I checked my Obsidians and they look almost the exact same.
Aw man that sucks. Hopefully it gets resolved. Thanks for telling me about your obsidians. 👌
What's the issue you're having with Goat and the V3 700?
I ordered a pair that were "pre-authenticated" sitting at a GOAT headquarters ready to be shipped. I got them in and the shoes had defects and they didn't glow in the dark. The fact that they don't glow in the dark blows my mind since they were supposed to authenticated. I'm waiting in a response now to get a full refund.
@@justinbell1830 WOW That's crazy that smells like a fake pair to me right? Especially if it's supposed to glow
@@MrVizziato23 exactly.
Bought a pair of new palace shirts from stock x. Got the shorts and tried them on... had a Publix receipt in the pocket. Which means they didn’t even look at the shorts and they were not new. They made me pay for shipping to send shorts back. Did get refunded my money but I wanted the shorts...Been using goat ever since
Man that’s awful
Blake: Not clickbait...
Literally the video title: ''The TRUTH!''...
And don't sweat the timing on delivery. I've waited 3 weeks before. Stockx is worldwide now with locations in Hong Kong and Australia. Shoes coming from Asia are gonna take longer than shoes coming from Florida to New york..
The GOAT.com. aint Nothin to talk about
This is why I use GOAT, I’ve never had an issue with them, it may take a longer process but you know your purchase is legit
Lots of positive feedback on Goat. I have purchased a few things from them but always used StockX more until now.
Yes a little more expensive on GOAT but haven’t had an issue yet and I’ve ordered a lot
They're real brother...mine came from SNKRS app...just like those
Yess sirrrr
People just create fake things to criticize
What’s good good good bro,stay grinding it out
Thanks bro I appreciate it!
Blake, I took a look at a couple of Obsidians from my closet... the tongue is pretty crooked and the heel of mine, while it isn't as pronounced a curve as yours, does curve in. The box not having a stamp is odd and probably alarming. The one thing you didn't comment on too much was the quality or cut of the shoe (up close details). The quality on Obsidians are generally regarded as fairly good on the J1 spectrum. The leather in the toe box and side panels, in Sail are generally very good, soft, buttery. The university blue portions of the shoe are also, likewise, very soft. How was your StockX pair?
BUSURF2 thanks for commenting! Overall the quality looks fine I’m pretty sure they’re fine BUT the box missing the stamp is SO weird. I’m sure it’s possible that there’s not a stamp but I feel like the odds of that are so small. I still don’t know what I should do at this point.
Why don't you compare with your brothers legit shoe that's sitting right there instead of different colorways
Fartylipjuice I did.. but his is a smaller size so I can’t compare height etc because they’re not the same size.
I would like it if they attached an RFID or QR tag that you could scan with your phone to check for the authenticity. The reason I say this is because of people selling fakes on places like eBay or Depop with StockX tags on
Imo I have never had issues but I always prefer buying and selling on goat. So much easier to use
jorge ezquivel I disagree goat scammed me for my blue lobster I would be careful
Jason James how ?
Jason James every online platform you sell you run a risk whether your selling or buying. I just think that we see more issues on stock X than on goat. Not saying it doesn’t happen on goat but maybe not as much as stock X
Leonardo Diax said they never arrived for verification and they demanded original reciept from 2008 or they can’t investigate
jorge ezquivel I understand it’s a risk I use StockX often never any problem then I try goat for used shoes and get burnt like I said I understand there’s risk I’m just saying be careful. Much love stay safe✊🏾
Bought from StockX 3 times. All Authentic! No issues
Yeah it’s rare to have an actual issue. Overall you should always get authentic sneakers and they’ve improved their processes over the years.
You do get penalized if you don’t ship on time.
I got mine from foot locker.. and I just compared them to my other 1s. Your right they are lower highs. So I don’t think it’s a fake. But my box does have the stamp so idk
They always sit crooked. It happened to mine when I ordered them for retail from Nike
Y don’t u have more subscribers. U present yourself so well!!!🤝
Malachi Elisnord thank you
I went to watch reviews I'm almost positive they are real lol
Horrible experience from Stock x . Ordered the Jordan 1 court purple and the seller did not ship the shoes out at all . Literally said waiting for seller to ship for like 5 days straight . This is why I will forever use GOAT from now on .
I just bought old Air Max 90s and clearly, someone wore the shoes and cleaned the bottoms off. They did not clean the white front off as well as they did the bottom so I knew I was finessed. I buy several shoes from Stock X and this is the only pair that I have been disappointed with. I am so mad about it, the new shoes are just sitting there right now. I paid $177 so that under retail but I would have gladly paid over for real DS Air Maxes. The shoe laces don't look fresh either. StockX has to do better.
What kind of air maxes
I was scammed bad by Stockx for the 700 Wave Runners. I bought them in February 2021. When they arrived, I cut the tag and put them in my back in the box to wear the next day. I never wound up wearing them though. Last month, I tried to sell them back to Stockx because the price is high now, and they're going to re-release in August. They failed verification for being fake. Then they sent the fakes back to me and charged me $15.
I am still livid. I'm not an authenticator. When I removed the Stockx tag, I placed my trust in them. How am I, a casual customer supposed to know they were fake? Email after email after email, customer service Tweets, Tweets to the Stockx founder, a certified letter to their corporate office... All I get are the same pre-written replies that tell me they basically don't care.
Boycott StockX!!! Soon as Goat gets more apparel inventory, they'll get way more business, which = more price transparency, which = lower pricing to compete w/ stockX!!! StockX gets away w/ selling fakes here & there! Especially if the buyer doesn't have a voice or isn't a UA-camr! They only care about their sellers because they're stockX's true customer! They're fee's went through the roof! Looks all good until u check out😳 & to top it off, u can't even earn free shipping after your 5th purchase👎🏾👎🏾we the consumer's need to exercise our power on stockX!!!
Goat will become just as bad as they grow. It’s a numbers thing
If you live in the UK, you can make a consumer law claim and get a refund no matter what, even if the shoes are legit. It’s called “Right of Withdrawal”.
Thats how you no there real the shape of the booty!! That rounded out back i have a pair straight from nike and its got that rounded booty
Jay_O 69 lol thanks bro 👌
I've noticed my obsidians are shorter as well compared to my other Jordans, & i bought them from stockx, only difference is my lid has the stamp.
Thank you for commenting 🙏
Sail laces in everything in all my shoes live sail laces
Zayne’s World what r sail laces?
vlonethuug yadigg a cream color not white white but a off white
Where do you get your sail laces from ? I've been using the 1s I have frm the pairs that come with them but I need a lot more...Thx
Just ordered the Jordan 5 Moonlight on sunday Sept 26. It still says waiting for seller to ship... I'm nervous as shit now smh. Not a good first time buy from stockx
Unfortunately both StockX and Goat seem to allow sellers well past the “2 business days” to ship an item which is frustrating as the buyer. Anytime I sell on those platforms I’m prepared to ship same day or within 24 hrs. Sucks that there’s not harsher penalties for the lazy sellers on there. Hopefully you get your shoes and don’t experience any issues other than possibly slow shipping. 👍
Even if it’s retro 1s from Nike themselves or footlocker, champs, etc the tongue is always slanted af
Thanks for commenting 👌 these seemed extra slanted but a lot of people have said their pair looks the same.
Just bought a pair of jordan 1 Obsidian for 180... love having size 15
👏👏
Not that I’m defending StockX, but they shouldn’t have to compensate a buyer if an order gets cancelled. They’re not responsible for an individual seller to ship out an order, maybe if StockX ran all their business out of their own inventory it’d make sense to compensate when orders are cancelled. StockX is a middle man dealing with shipping internationally, I recently purchased the Travis 4s from StockX and it took 3 weeks to receive the shoes. I live in Michigan which has a StockX facility in Detroit so shipping isn’t usually long after it arrives in Detroit, but due to my order coming from Canada it took forever I’m assuming with customs because of Coronavirus. So I think as a consumer we just have to keep that in mind, because I was also upset about the delay in my order.
The tongue is supposed to be crooked. A straight tongue is sketchy. Also the reps have very little wrinkles if any on the tongue. The more tongue wrinkles the better. Feel the tongue width. The reps usually have a thicker tongue. Look for the hour glass shape. Feel the inside heel. On fake pairs it's 2 separate pieces if padding. Real ones have 1 piece of padding rolled around the heel. Compare the size labels. Reps usually have thicker or thinner size than a real size tag.
Wondering what’s gonna happen w my Ben & Jerry Dunk, bought it April 1, waiting on Authenuation, and shipping... payed $1G, are they gonna jus gonna get me the next pair of shit goes missing... doubt it... prob won’t sleep til Fri... smh
Theo Anastasio luckily all the expensive shoes I’ve never had an issue. Hopefully you don’t either. Keep me posted.
Blake Yarbrough Be talking time ya... keep up the good worth brotha, 1st Class 💯💯💯‼️
I've had the same problem the 3 times I've bought kicks before they were officially released in the states and every time I waited more than 2 weeks and didn't get 2 of them until after their U.S release so that completely defeated the purpose. I'll never buy anything from stock X other than general releases after they have been out for a while, and that's only bcuz I can get them well below retail, as for early releases or expensive hype I use Goat and 2 other sites that aren't as popular yet that I've never had a issue
You can't always go by the inclusion of the stamp. I bought a pair of Jordan 1 Chi to NC patent leather from Nike and I didn't have a stamp. Hit on SNKRS app, came in nike box with an invoice and no stamp.
D Bluntson thanks bro!
these yeezy's 700 are at this point the most disgusting pair of shoes i've ever seen .it's like this design have no futur here ...
Have had about 3 notable issues in 15 transactions with them over the past couple of years. A pair of Nike AJ3 Tinker Airmax didn't come with the Nike Air hangtag, a pair of AJ2 Radio Raheems were missing the shoe trees, but other than that the shoes themselves were fine... ds condition and nothing looked off. Emailed regarding the tag and they answered within a few days, but apparently that falls within their regulations for what can be considered ds, "can be missing accessories like extra shoelaces, tags, etc." Little annoyed at that, but it did come with all the other accessories besides the hangtag. The third was bidding related. They cancelled a winning bid of mine and couldn't get me the shoes for a similar price, so ended up passing since the next low bid was $50 higher. Was a bit pissed at that. I did get a full refund like you. Other than those, my experience with Stockx has generally been good. Shipping times to my international location have typically taken no more than a week or so.
Xmasochist yeah I think it’s whack that “accessories” like laces, tags etc are not considered part of the shoe being DS. To me that is necessary. I’ve heard of shoes like off whites missing extra laces and stuff. Sucks when you spend so much money. Thanks for the comment 👏
@@BlakeYarbrough but of csuse if their tag was missing from the shoe that would be an issue but they can send you a shoe without a tag and it's not... Bullshit how it works in their favor
You just admitted that everyone was wearing it so you bought it. Talk about following styles rather than creating your own.
I feel you. I spent a ton on their app too and waiting days for a reply on their customer service line is BS when they claim that prices are real-time. I can’t wait days when prices change by the minute.
Facts
Couple things,
A really good way to tell if your obsidians are fake is to take out the insoles and compare them to your brothers pair. They should be identical. Any variation you see should be a red flag, material, feel, pattern and direction of the glue stripes, etc.
I have never bought a pair of ones without the stamp on the lid, that is very strange.
About your idea for stockx seller reward system it won't work because stockx has several loopholes that people exploit. All you need is a "label plug" and basically you can have them scan your label prematurely before you even have or pack up the shoes, this way it tricks the system into thinking that shoe has already been shipped when that is not the case. Too many sellers exploit this now when trying to get "presales" for high prices. All it takes is someone who works at UPS to scan for you. Stockx cant really do anything to follow up on this besides call UPS and hound them for the whereabouts of a specific package which is not practical. This might be how they lost your shoe (just a guess). Sometimes sellers scan a shoe and then never even acquire it so they never ship out and then you have a shoe "lost in shipping."
They have a lot of issues to work out but I still like them. Whenever you have a problem with a purchase you need to contact them immediately within 3 days of receiving the item and complain as much as you can.
Hey man I appreciate the thorough comment! Definitely a valid reason why my quick shipping reward would not work, didn't think of that type of loophole. I'll have an update coming soon in regards to what I decide to do with them.
I love the real opinions you provided!!!
Dont have the waverunners but just copped the Earths from Stock X and I really dig them. Going to look good with some khaki/tan cargo shorts. I havent ran into any issue with Stockx yet and purchased quite a bit of shoes from them. Still waiting for the quarantine to lift. I'm wanting to break out those 90s that I bought from you a few weeks ago. Stay safe man.
Jamon Horton the earths look good 🔥
It’s so hard to not go anywhere. Which means not busting out some fresh sneakers haha Stay safe bro
They updated the model and I believe it’s not called an OG because of the different shape in the back. It’s a thing they do with new models. Go on Stock X and you will see when you compare with older 1’s that this one in the back is a bit tilted forward so it’s nothing wired with that pair I believe.
New sub love the content! Love your set up!🔥🔥🔥
Copped the Waverunners at a little over retail. Goes with so many outfits.
Yup 👏👏
Anyone else noticed when you buy a pair on StockX at a good ask (usually pre release) and then your order gets cancelled? StockX tell me it's not passed authentication but I've had this a lot recently, usually on pairs which have risen on price fast. Smells fishy to me..
Unfortunately it happened to me on the Sean Wotherspoon air max. I bought the all accessory pair for around $680 and they didn’t pass authentication (I think the seller only had the extra laces not all accessories because StockX changed the way they titled each shoe shortly after) but anyway by the time I got my refund the all accessory pair was well over $1,000 so I ended up never getting them. 😔
I have Travis’s, nigels, and obsidians. My obsidians are shorter than the other two. However, my box has the stamp. I wouldn’t use the stamp as a way to legit check though. Similarly, my obsidians are shaped slightly different.
I agree with what he said about the sellers, I bought some Nike Dunk lows hyper cobalts 3 days ago and it took the seller 2 days almost 3 to ship it out to StockX for authentication, they should really do something about sellers like that
If you gotta do all that just to determine if they’re fake or not then don’t worry about it, it’s definitely a shoe so that ain’t fake stop being worried about what factory it came from.
