I'm just guessing here but are dodgy sellers joining this forum to blacken the name of good reliable sellers? If so i'm pissed off, don't accuse anyone without proof, if there is a doubt about a seller the moderators would leave the message for eveyone to see, but lets not just say somones selling fakes if they're not. I'm sorry but in other words put up or shut up.

"No longer a registered member of Ebay".
Aaah, what a shame !
All your customers will be so disappointed that they can't pay over the odds for fake trainers anymore.

It really pisses me of, why don't these bloody crooks design there own bloody trainers? they clearly have access to the materials and equipment needed.
Ok Adidas and the big boys have been doing it for awhile but hey everyone has to start somewhere.
Personally i really don't care who makes the trainers all i ask is that 'they beg me to buy them' and it just happens that Adidas do that at the moment.
But if someone comes along with something that i like i'm digging in my pocket.
But don't try and fuck me over with moody copies.

Today i gave Bernard a ring regarding my refund, i was pretty angry with the guy i'm it just really pisses me off when he strarts going on about,having to send the trainers of to be tested and he's sure there not fakes etc etc.
I stated to him that:
1. he does seem to be the only person selling these very rare trainers and that his supply seemed to be endless.
2. As far as i know the trainers were only manufactured in 2002 (But i need confirmation on that)
3. The pairs he sold me had 6 eyelets, instead of 7.
4. The overall trainer was no wear near the standards Adidas set.
5. The actual Clear plastic on his was frosted not clear.
6. the fonts were completely different. (Most noticeable on the shell)
7. They fell apart within a week.
8. The shell didn't actualy fit the trainer properly.
9. The sole on the version he had is completley different to the original etc etc.
AND BY THE WAY THE NEW LAYOUT OF THE SITE IS COOL, WELL DONE AND THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL THE ADVISE one more thing i've noticed the images of the Missy's and New Yorks on the headers, i've just got them two pairs is someone copying my rather small collection or do i just have great taste? HA HA
9. The sole on the version he had is completley different to the original.
I do have to give him a bit of credit though he did stay calm under all the abuse i was giving him and i did have the trainers for ages before i informed him that they were fake.
He will be getting back to me on Saturday regarding my refund.
I'll keep you guys informed ( I had the trainers for about 6-7 months before i told him they were fakes, i've only just got into collecting if that's the right word and if i get my money back i would advise anyone in a similar posistion that isn't happy to do the same)

Thats good news but is he refunding all of the other buyers? I doubt it and has he stopped selling the Watermelons as he calls them?

I bought a couple pair of watermelons from a UK site, about a 2 months back. I got a pair of the charcoal, and blue, from This site. www.Athletika.co.uk (Check in the really small sizes) I think the site is out in common sizes. I need to double check, but Im pretty sure they look like the fakes posted on here. That box looks like mine! I think they are selling some on ebay now too. They have 100% feedback, and I dont they werent selling any of the clrs on ebay when I got mine. Im gonna check mine, and post pics when I get home.

I have a couple of genuine pairs and i think MR Pure has the complete set.
1. They should have 7 eyelets.
2. The actual clr on the soles shell, should be clr and not frosted.
3. They were made in 2002 only.
I've been ripped of by Bernard (Hewsonator) but got a full refund including postal costs, if they trainers do prove to fake just get on to him.
He will give your all sorts of bullshit about, believing they're genuine, having to get them checked independently getting his business partner to agree etc etc.
You can PM me your number and i'll give you a call if that helps and good luck.

It might be the same person, but it might not. They are selling on Ebay as AthletikaUk http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ATHLETIKAUK_W0Q...esstQQtZkm Some of the pics on the auctions seem different. BUt they have the same annoying sitepal guy. It seem weird that the athlettika site would have fakes. They didnt even have any other trainers, just spikes and stuff. I will check mine as soon as I get home though, and try to get pics.
