What's up peeps. Found your forum about a week or two back. And all i can say is WOW! So many shoes to look at here, I could spend hours.

From Orlando FL. Been rocking superstars as long as I can remember. Haven't worn any other sneaker for a long time. However I normally cycle through about 3 or 4 pairs tops until they are run into the ground. Then I replace a pair and start all over. Have never come anywhere close to the collections I found on here.

This place has got me on a sneaker high and has me starting to search for some pairs to start a "mini-collection"! My wife is already pissed and I've only been browsing for a couple weeks.

I have a template or two to add to the adicolor template thread which I just made after finding this site, so I'll head over and throw that up shortly

Hey - anyone willing to make a purchase on ebay on my behalf and send it to me? Yes, I'm willing to provide cash up front.

4 days until the listing closes, so I'm hoping some kind SSDB member steps forward.


Of course by 'buyer' I meant 'member of SSDB'

- Replies (7)

hi

ive recently bought these off a seller on ebay who isnt on the fake list and they claim that all their trainers are 100% genuine. Maybe they are genuine but really badly made but I cant see that being the reason. the feeling between my adicolor bought from jd sports and the feel of these is worlds apart.

i was hoping these werent going to be fake but when i opened the box they were already laced up and didnt quite look right. the left side is slightly higher than the right which makes them uncomfortable to wear and already gives off an effect like fake Ugg boots when they collapse. Also, the tongue hasnt been stitched in properly and is crooked so that when you wear them the tongue becomes bunched up. There is also a small gap from material to shell. also, the eyelets seem to be a bit on the small side and there is even a small hole where they must have started doing it by mistake which then leads onto a bigger hole.

These are the worst pair ive bought. I think im going to return them and say theyre faulty so i can get my money back and place the seller on the fake list here.

Heres a few photos:

made in...india?? the info isnt even sewn in, its just a sticker placed on the fabric. both serial numbers ARE different though.

already laced up but with extra blue laces. notice the sloping outer side, makes them uncomfortable to wear.

Hello im SmokySet( aka ryan) im from bedfordshire and im a huge sneaker fan although my collection is childs play compared to most true collectors but my friends call me obsessed. Im not going to lie superstars aren't my main staple however i do own a pair. I more of on adidas star wars fan but i do not feel my collection is complete. Does anyone know where i can get a pair of lukeskwalkers in size 9(uk) for a decent price? that would be ace

many thanks
Ryan

Hey guys just thought I'd introduce myself, the name's Heavy, Im just turned 22 and Im from a remote Scottish island (which is, as you could expect, a bit crap when trying to find good clothing/shoes). Been a long-time lurker (mainly just to distinguish what is fake and whats not) and this place is great. (after learning a few tell tale signs, i realised a couple "bargains" I had picked up weren't so great...)

Im looking to start a collection of track tops at the moment, the two particular styles I want most are also possibly amongst the most counterfeited (the Adidas Porsche Track Top with green racing stripe, and the rasta firebird).I've found that scouring ebay for things is tiresome, but in my current location its the only real viable option for me (we have just one shop that sells Originals gear, and its gash). Im unsure how to tell the signs of a real tracktop/firebird, which is sort of why I'm posting now. I'm not sure what you're policy on discussing things outside of trainers is in the fake forum so I thought I'd just say this in my introduction, but if anyone could help me out or point me in the direction of a forum/site that gives you some more info on this, I'd be grateful. If anyone perhaps even wanted to take a look at a couple of auctions for me (pushing my luck I know) that would be great.

I hope to get into some good Adidas discussion with you guys, and eventually (when I think its respectable enough ), I'll share with you my collection Wink

Thanks guys

Heavy

Nice to see employees rewarded for once in a takeover.

The average payout for each employee is £16,000 Shocked
