Yeah, I just found that post. They were wrong I think. Check the tags on them, both should be on the inside of both pairs but one of them is on the outside (the right shoe). Due to the (quality of the) pictures everything else looked legit.


This is why it's extra important to always, ALWAYS ask for close-up pics just to be 100% sure. Serials have to be checked, close-ups of heels and other giveaway spots, etc..

Yeah I know mate, these shoes are fake. I have other SS35 legit and the font on the tag of the box is different. i am really pissed because this seller lied to me and actually I do not live in England. I have told Paypal for this fraud but I do not know if i will see my money back Sad

Well the ones listed here were genuine.. or should I say the pictures were of genuine ones anyway Confused

Really sorry about this, I didn't see it but it appears plenty of people did.
I'm speechless, frankly, the shoes in that listing are clearly fake, never mind the laces, look at the end of the box for fuck's sake !
Guys, I feel more than slightly let down.
This chap, for the minute at least, has been severely fucked over acting on bad information he got from us in here.

RE: Question about Adidas Superstar TATE - charlie12 - 06-08-08

Thank you mate for helping me here. I saw my thread locked and I was pissed because I am not trying to bother you with my problems but hey I spent lots of money on those and Paypal/Seller are reading this thread right now so please do not let me down.

I know It is a bad situation, I've been collecting for 10 years, on forums since 2001/02... so I know it is quite boring. But I really thought they were authentic reading all the people saying so + 100% feedbacks 200+ since 2003.

But they are definitely fake, reason why I posted pictures here when I first received them this morning.

Thanks for your help !

Well, at least you paid with Paypal and this guys covered up to £500 so you'll get all your money back.
It's a lot of fucking around and you'll have to take them to the Originals store in Paris if nearby or I might be able to get you a letter from the store in London.
Either way, this cocksucker isn't gonna be getting away with it and in time, you'll get your money back.

Firstly a quick apology from me as i contributed to this other thread Sad but it does seem the ones in the pics on ebay didn't have heel clits as we call them!!And have fooled afew of us on here into pronouncing them 100% legit.Saying that the tags are wrong even in the pictures posted on Ebay so god knows why we said they where legit as thats a bread and butter tell tale sign for us to have easily dismissed them.
Once again sorry charlie and I'm sure all of us @ ssdb will help anyway we can to get you your money back

RE: Question about Adidas Superstar TATE - mr.pure - 06-08-08

Thanks for that Pokey.
One of the first things that identified the fakes before the fakers got wise and a bit more careful was the position of the label on the end of the box which is clearly fucked on that listing.
Next was the laces which should look like a slab with very little waisting from the sellotape, which these ones also definitely had.

RE: Question about Adidas Superstar TATE - streak - 06-08-08

I'm confused.. the shoes listed here, were bought by someone from Taiwan? Confused

RE: Question about Adidas Superstar TATE - mr.pure - 06-08-08

Now I'm getting confused as well.
Explain.

Just emailled that guy to tell him the bad news.
