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

IB:

[jackie_pants]

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.

[t2r]

what about these?

[woody]

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

Those second RUN DMCs look alright to me

[dj_wildthing]

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?

[mr.pure]

All fake !

Oh dear.

Sounds like you need to have words with a few sellers luv!

Report them to ebay too, or they will just carry ojn ripping people off!

And welcome!
