I thought i'd update with a funny thing happening on my attempts to get hold of some RHCP Supes, as i've mentioned in my "Hello" post.

Well, as any person, pining for some good superstars that you simply can't get hold of, your mother eventually learns of your woes.

Well, mine did - Apart from her saying shoes are a waste of money if they're over £10 - she did feel sorry for me and thats all I thought of it!
But! She went one step further and must have said something about it to my auntie. Joy! My auntie could possibly be the greatest most generous person I know, love her to bits. Anyhow, after learning of my woes my auntie decided she would use a "new thing" she found out about to try and get me a pair of said supes! - Oh the poor lady thought she had hit the jackpot when she noticed she had a choice of about 10 different pairs, thinking how on earth I couldn't find them?? - So she bought some and I am now awaiting some RHCP's in the post.

So... what is this "new thing" my auntie has found!? - Oh... Ebay...
You can guess I was quite excited until my mum mentioned she had got them from ebay. She has just discovered ebay.

I'm not getting my hopes up - she said she paid about £30 for them.
Looks like an ebay dispute is on the cards for my auntie. Who knows what the chances are of her getting her money back would be?

Anyhow, when I get them i'll certainly check them out, I know they'll most likely be fake, but i'll upload a pic of 2 and see how bad they look to you guys Make your eyes bleed maybe? I'll send tissues to anyone needing some. hehe

[stylz]

I've got my fingers crossed for you mate but I don't like your chances!

Fingers crossed!

Ahhhhhhh the day has come!

A parcel arrived this morning, I promptly signed for it (while the dog was barking at the poor postman and licking his hands.. thankfully he liked dogs!) and brought it inside, with my fingers crossed.

alas I opened it and it looks like some people have lost some fingers, as I don't think they were being crossed lol. These are almost gurantee'd fake.
Heres some pics, not that good, but pics none-the-less.

Are chilis supposed to be black with orange/reddy stripes or an off black/grey with red stripes?
These are the latter.
Needless to say, i'll be saying to my Auntie, thanks! But you bought fakes.
I'm in the process of trying to find out who she got them from, so i'll update you with that when I know.
Who knows the easiest and fastest way for her to get her money back?
What will ebay/paypal be needing from me so I can have it ready to hand so the process(at least on my end) is as fast as possible.

Here follows the eye bleeding pictures The part with the serial number(which are different, by 3 digits on the end) looks really badly attached, it has an indent under it, the pic kinda shows it on one of them, but both have it.

Supposed to be off black/grey with red stripes.

The tell-tale is the back USUALLY, these are smooth, no nipples. Varied serial numbers (seen them on the bape fakes) and the tongues look a bit shabby. Box label is well pissed. All in all I would say fake but a damn convincing one at that!

PM a Specialist but I would be 99% sure fake. Shame that coz they my size too!

Take it to the majority for their feedback.

[petestar]

I'm size 9-10.5 usually and these are a rather tight fitting 11!!! Yet I can get my feet into my brothers R5's size9!! So these are a rather small size 11 I must say.
I'd like to keep these 'cos I kinda like 'em, but i'd rather my auntie got her money back and I want some black supes ;D So on a quest for dark horse or any other black/red combinations now.

If they are fakes then they are getting much harder to spot. No heel nipple, tags on the inside of the shoe :S

I'd still say they are fakes though unfortunately. Label is wonky as hell on the box and the soles are all yellow (should be a lot clearer). And of course, the slightly off fitting

[Teaj]

The fakes sizing is often wrong, I think they just make one size shoe and label it differently!

The most obvious way to spot them is check the extra laces, they should be packed tightly. Also the sole image should be clearer.

If you're looking for R3 / Dark Horse, I have 1 pair left in a 10.....
