Hey, new here - found this place after looking through ebay and thinking this is "Too good to be true!" so decided to dig a little into fake superstars.
Anyhow, i'm Pete - apologies for the extremely unoriginal username haha -
I'm 23, from Berks UK. I've actually not bought any supes yet! My gosh, shouldn't I be shot? haha. Well I do absolutely love what alot of them look like, especially black/red/orange any combo ones! I'm a student at college, no job, just quit and looking for a new one. Needed a fresh job! Being an "IT technician" got so boring for me.
I would LOVE to put some pics of my collection up... but alas - I have none to put up! I could put my brothers supes up, some SUPERSTAR 2 R5 ADICOLOR Red, he bought from TKMaxx for just £35! I thought they were fakes, but the number in tongue are different and the pics you can see below! A little dirty.. how I do want to hurt him for making such a nice pair of sneakers dirty

Clean them! - If that is their proper name. But i've fallen in love with them and would love some myself, hence the looking on ebay but feeling suspicious about a few.
Anyhow, i'm sure i'll be coming here for info and help from all of you experienced superstar lovers and put pics up as and when I start building my collection!!
Cya later peeps!
Pete.

Welcome fella!
Nice intro, honest approach!!
The R5's in TK Maxx arent fakes, just thrown around the warehouse a bit before they sell em, its the TK Maxx way!!
head over to
www.mrshoeshotta.com for best deals on legit stuff, hes our resident seller. You will find 90% of stuff on ebay is fake (competent fakes but fakes nonetheless). We have a fake seller list for your information, check it out.
I am sure you will be buying and collecting before long, good luck on the job front fella!
Peace

Hi pete welcome aboard!
TK maxx dont sell fakes, but they dont look after their stock! I saw some of these in my local one, but they were too big! uk 9 and i need uk 8, i was rather annoyed! still i have got a few gems there in the past!
Hope you enjoy the community here, i look forwards to seeing you about the boards!
p.s by berks do you mean the great county of berkshire?

Yea, Berkshire. Rarely put the shire because it's what every county is!

Berks sounds better than Berk. As, I am not a berk.
A small question to anyone else who looks in this thread again, how much should I expect a pair of 35th, Music #17 RedHotChiliPeppers supes to be? I've seen them on sites(not very legit looking ones I must say, along with about 20pairs from the same user on Ebay, HAHA! Legit? Doubt it.) for around £45-£55. Any advice?

Expect them to be 100% fake for that price!

To be honest mate, you'll have a hard job of finding a pair. You're not the only one looking, and those who have them (like me

) don't want to sell them.
Let us all know what size you are and maybe you'll get lucky.
As for price, Crooked Tongues want £175 for the only pair they have in stock. If I were selling, i'd be looking for at least £150.

Welcome aboard Pete. As a Cumbrian, I take issue with your comment about all counties being shires though!
