Hello, I have the opportunity to get a Adicolor W1 Boxset for pretty cheap, well at least I think so. But before I quote any numbers, I wanted to get an idea of what a good price or steal would be. And second, if there were any fakes ever made of these box sets, so that I could perhaps know what to look out for when I see them in person. Any help will be much appreciated, thanks!

Can't say ive seen any fakes of the boxset w1s!!They retailed at £199.00 when released so anything cheaper than when they first came out isn't a bad price.
Nice collectors peice and limited to a 1000 but cant say the shoes look that good to be honest(pretty damn ugly really).Think i paid around £275.00 for mine!!
It's not the size of the feet!!it's the amount of quality on em

They faked the shoes themselves but not the box and accessories......
I'd say they're worth £250+

They usually go for over £200 on the bay!!The w1 jacket is rarer and comes in the same box,woodencase!!.I think theres only 600 of them though so more limited.
Oh and retail for the w1 adicolor was £210 not £199 my mistake

Thanks pokey 27, p3yro, and MrShoeShotta, I appreciate the responses! Yeah I'm not really diggin the way they look either but figured they'd be a nice piece to add to my collection. I'm going to try and pick them up today, so once I get them I'll post up some pics with how much I paid for them. If all goes well, I think we will all be pleasantly surprised! Thanks again.

that's actually really cool.
i have the 35th anniversary adicolors which are also all white and while they may seem plain, they kinda grow on you. i'd start with changing the laces.
in terms of the BL3's, not sure what size you are, but i think
http://www.kix-files.com has a pair in US11.5, and they do turn up on the bay (I found a pair a few months ago), for a reasonable price.
in my experience this is one shoe you don't want to go small on - they are a bit tight.

Hey thanks for the info. I think $200 is a bit more than I'd like to spend on these shoes, so I'll keep an I out on the bay. I think 11.5 US or 12 US would be good for me. I'm also really trying hard to find a pair of Adidas WESC shoes in 11.5 US or 12 US as well, and I've had no luck. If you have any info for that I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.
