IB & Run DMC - jackie_pants - 17-06-06

Hi folks
Just received two pairs of Superstars from eBay UK, and think they're not the real. I'd value your advice, before seeking the seller
Cheers

Run DMC:









Some of the materials feel hard and shiny, rather than soft and supple. Some of the finish is poor, like glue overspill, loose threads, jagged edges. The print / embossed bit on the heal is wonky. These occur on both models, and there are a few more tell-tale signs.
These are only my observations, and I would gladly welcome yours
Cheers again


PS. If you'd like any pics of specific areas, just shout

Hi jackie_pants

As said before, those white/fairway samples are the real deal (& are a great pick up!)

...but i'm afraid it doesn't look so good for those IB's - they don't look right, are far to shoddily made & therefore i gotta say they are unfortunately fakes

The same goes for the Run DMC's - they look wrong, have the wrong lace tags etc etc...

Get on the case to the seller & get yourself a refund!

Hi bobby dassler,
That's what I thought. They looked odd as soon as I opened the box - poor finish, untidy stitching, wonky print, etc
I'll have a word with the seller (who's been mentioned on these forums)
Thanks again

I agree, both the IBs and the DMCs look fake.

what about these?

Yeah I agree the IBs and first set of RUN DMCs look fake.

Those second RUN DMCs look alright to me

not sure about the seconds either, the trefoil on the heel looks a bit big, and it's placed a little too high me thinks...



They're also stuffed with paper which Superstars never are (that could be the seller who did that himself though)

Do you have a link to the auction?
