Fake Lee Quinones...? - dj_wildthing - 07-06-06

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ADIDAS-SUPERSTAR-35TH-ANNIVERSARY-LEE-QUINONES-SZ9-5-DS_W0QQitemZ9329118102QQcategoryZ38398QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Found these on eBay and they just don't look right. Too shiny, and the assembly looks a bit dodgy too,especially the heel.

Also the graphics look too colorful (I know, it could just be the pics or my monitor) and the way the laces are packed don't look right either...

Yep.. think your right there wildthing old man..

Also the corners of the label on the box should be square.. not rounded!

corners should be rounded, however the blanking out of the size looks mysterious, stitching looks shoddy at the back, also laces look to have been tied not as tight/incorrectly

Hmmm, BUT.... they are very clear pics.. in good lighitng...

Has anyone got any of these so they can check the quality of the heel sewing etc?

Ive put them side by side with a pic i got of rakuten.. and they do look a lot brighter than them, but they aint as good quality pics as the ones on this ebay auction...

I really wouldnt like to say if these are fake or not...

just got home and compared these to my LQ's and I must say there are a few differences:

1. the barcodes on the boxes are not identical, several of the numbers are different.
2. the placement of the graffiti is not the same, 'the trains' on mine are placed almost an inch higher than the ones in the auction.
3. my dark brown laces are packed 'tight', the auction ones are packed quite loose.
4. the graffiti on the ones in the auction look way too glossy.
5. the picture of the LQ's on tag in the auction looks very red compared to mine.
6. the heel assembly is perfect on mine, the assembly of the auction LQ's is crappy.

Also, I just noticed the seller is the same who had the Bad Boys up for auction I also suspected could be fake, despite the good and numerous detailed pictures...
