I really appreciate all the help! I'm glad I could help out as well. "Ohmyland" was the seller name on eBay. They were from Hong Kong, I guess I was just REALLY lucky. That fake trade vid scared the crap out of me. Anyway, I can't say I recommend this guy as a first option--the shipping was very slow, packaging was rather poor (just a weird green bag wrapped around the shoes with string), and he has an extremely limited English speaking ability.

However, he does seem to sell legit stuff...maybe a person to check as a last resort for rare kicks. Here is the link again http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...:IT&ih=021

Overall, I am happy, although I did want the Vaders instead (apparently he was all sold out). Now that these appear to be authentic, I must decide if I will keep them or try to sell them and get the Vaders (or feed my addiction and get both ). I am extremely impressed with the craftsmanship of these shoes--they are my first consortiums, and Adidas did an excellent job.

Looks fine to me. I've got that not-quite-perfect upper/midsole line on a couple of my genuine pairs (including 35ths). Congrats on the pickup too - they're getting pretty hard to find for a reasonable price thesedays

Maybe I'm nitpicking a bit here, but the stitching on the shell of the right shoe seem to be a little bit funky. The left shoe is fine, and this seems to be very minor. Here's the pic.

One day we should make a thread with all our superstar "imperfections" on

Most Adidas have a little imperfection on them somewhere (some have bigg ones (my ultrastars have completly effed up stitching on the sides but still 100% legit)). QC isn't perfect unfortunately but I wouldn't call it fake based purely upon that

They look legit homey!
Just pulled mine out to do a hard core comparison , and your's passed the test.
line through the numbers is there, minor imperfections on sole etc...
Although that seller has had fakes up before , DMC's undefeated,s etc, so he's still iffy in my book.
It appears as if your gamble paid off
congrats

p.s. we're the same size, so we should keep a look for eachother, deals, trades, ebay...

[Minty]

Great idea Reid on the imperfections thread. That would help identify fakes more easily as well!

Thanks Guiding star for doing that comparison--that is what I was hoping people would do! I was really ignorant when I bought these, even though these ones turned out all right I'm never going to buy from Asia again! Kinda ironic sense that is where most soups are made

I am going to South Korea this summer for 5 weeks, so I should have fun looking at all the fake merchandise. If I find anything fake that is funny, educational, or amusing I will be sure to post it here. Thanks again guys!

Interesting thread guys, i've been wondering for a while about the vaders/yodas being listed from HK.
I haven't heard of anyone definitively saying the force pack have been faked yet.

[manus]

I haven't seen any obvious fakes around but the biggest problem I've found with the Force Pack is shady ebay sellers trying to do rip-off postage cost scams or trying to get you to buy outside of ebay. I've reported a couple of sellers for this already.

Ebay is going to be f***ing horrible when the 40th anniversary stuff drops.

[original21]

these are the best pics of this shoe i have seen!
i really want these now...don't know if i'd rock them though...but the sole is soooo nice n green!!

[Sneaker52]

I'll compare against mine tomorrow, as for the eller though, he's deffo legit.
