So many rare trainers coming on the bay every day! Im a poet and I know.....

Anyway, please tell me these are real guys, otherwise I give up, and will officially take lessons from Mr. Pure!

May the best man win!!

Al.

[mr.pure]

Their probably new cos they've got the metal chain to hold the hang tag.
You need a Bape expert but I reckon they're good.
Whether the zero feedbacker actually has them is another point alltogether.

[olstar]

99% sure they are real..

they are stated being 95% new, as in worn a few times..

and they are on my watch list too

[mr.pure]

Their probably new

What the fuck am I waffling on about.
i keep typing the wrong thing.
Sorry guys normal service will be resumed shortly.

It's the heat mr.pure - blame it on that m8, thats what i'm doing!

Ohh & yes big al, i'm 100% sure they're genuine - the fakes are always a different colour/material, it has the black chain, the correct number of lace holes (7) with eyelets (althought we can't see whether they're embossed from the pics), the wrapping paper is semi transparent, it comes with the correct laces, the "hidden" ape heads are there within the camo etc etc...

They're gonna be a great buy for someone if they stay at that price!

To reiterate what Mr Pure said: if indeed he's got them!!!

Zero feed back means zero trust as far as I’m concerned. I was considering bidding on some shells last week from someone with no feed back, I asked him a few questions he came back with the right answers, looking good until I noticed they were the same photos as another pair (from a different seller) I was watching! I mailed the first seller to ask if they were actual pictures of the shoes he was selling, mail comes back yes. No bids from me...

[olstar]

hmm good point dude..

i guess for the money its probably not worth the risk unless he can provide larger better quality snaps with his name in the pics..

...Thats very true!

It wasn't martinshoes & dy80713 was it? I noticed they both had the same pics but with different ID tags... very suspect!

[mr.pure]

A little bit about DY80713.
This guy is definitely selling fakes, they are probably the bloody good ones as in his pictures but I don't think anyone should go slagging him off as he openly sells them for £90 and is probably open to offers.
I for one will be buying some Consortiums off him as the fakes that I have seen are so good I can wear them and not worry about fucking up the real ones.
It also gives those who missed out a chance to get something similar.
I'm not condoning fakers entirely but neither am I fully supporting Adidas selling us £4 worth of shoes for £150.
Please don't cuss me too badly for this statement, I is only speakin wot I is feelin.

I wasn't slagging him off - mearly asking the question whether it was him & martinshoes that shelltoes was talking about as i saw they both had identical auction pics but with different ebay ID tags...

As you said mr.pure, if he's selling them at £90, then you know they're not gonna be genuine, but they look the part & ultimately your not going to ruin your real consortiums & your not paying £300 - £400 & then discovering they're fake!

[mr.pure]

Bobby old fella, I wasn't saying you were.
I was just trying to head off any attack on him before it started.
I've seen tagged pictures of his before so chances are the other guy has stolen his pictures.
I'm hoping to get 1 pair from him just to find out if they are the good fakes and then I will definitely order more.

[bobby dassler]

Kool mr.pure - soz 4 being on the defensive!

Let us know how u get on wiv 'em please mr.pure & post sum pics wiv real & fakes next 2 each other - if they're that good then i'd be interested in getting sum aswell (if the price is right of course)

Big up m8!

[mr.pure]

Money's too tight to mention homes.
but when it ain't I'll be a gettin some.
Just hope they haven't all gorn !

[dj_wildthing]

i'll be interested in know how this works out too, I really want some Footpatrols and NBHDs, and with the new breed of fakes looking so good, I wouldn't mind making an exception and buy some fakes.

£90 is a bit steep for a pair of fakes though IMO...

[mr.pure]

My thoughts too but if they save me from rubbing out my FP's then it's probably worth it.
I was gonna speak to him and see if he could let us have a pair for say £60 on the promise that if they are the good ones that we'd have more.
Here's an idea, we could club together an buy 1 pair then none of us gets royally fucked.
If they end up being the realer deal then one of us pays the balance and keeps 'em and the rest are free to carry on safe in the knowledge that they are OK.
