Ahum,
yes they do Or at least I think so

I know nothing about samples but the pics Lars is showing resemble the G17150 more than any of the other SW-supes discussed. Can they be a sample of those? Or are they just bad fakes with the wrong art. no. on them?

now im confused ...more than before, if possible. they have the # of the actual darth vader's, but the rest of the shoe is 'darksidestar' style..

Fore sure they are not selling sample that are not in prod. in their stores. Don´t know what this No.6 is but in adidasstores u will not find any sampleshoes that will not be produced...that would be a bad image anyway. "Oh look, that´s a nice adidas shoe! Where did u get it? -at the adidas store in ..." And @adidas they have to tell u it was never produced...Sure...

Keep talking.
With every post you're making yourself look more and more clueless !

A good friend of mine is a UK 8.5 and built his collection on the fact that he knew where and what No.6 was and that they got in non-production samples every now and then.
Most of which he snapped up as he'd like to keep his footwear unique.
Or I could get the old Manager in here to fill you in !

the G17708 on the box and shoes is the # for the darth vader's, not the darksidestar ..correct??

Haven't we all agreed samples would have 'SAMPLES' written on them. Ok lets say you had a rare sample that a Adi staff member had requested to be produced.
Very rare but anything can happen, but hey this member of staff happens to use the Art no of another shoe ok we are all human and shit happens, then the staff member requests a sample box (How many peeps have seen a sample box?) to go with these sample shoes, these then end up in Hong Kong on a site that has now vanished.
If you're convinced they're genuine then be happy and leave it at that but don't get too stressed if others doubt the authenticity.

And don't listen to doughnuts.

people have definitely jumped on this thread talking about adidas distracts me from the pain momentarily... i'd have the necessary spinal fusion surgery, but we all know how great american health care is..they dropped me like a hot potato! i'm tryin to upload a photo of the box, but having trouble resizing..
