i bought these online from a shop in hong kong last year in march, sayin they dealt with 'factory defects' which were unsellable on the market, but were still good enough to sell for a discount..they weren't dirt cheap, and i did contact the site a few times before i ordered to ask Q's..everything seems ok, except for the obvious name on the side 'darthvader' instead of 'darksidestar' . obvious stitch error on the side stripe, and you can see the white line where the stripe should line up. it's got the 3M reflective tape, and the sizing fits, it suede (or suede smelling and feeling) [/font] the interior stitching seems to be of good quality. the box numbers line up with the darth vader shoe, but this has the body of the CLOT darksidestar?? fake or just a unique? im really hoping for the later..

Don't like the look of the four red eyelets on each shoe.. or the innersole.. or the stiching of the label. Oh and the ART number isn't for this design either.
Not looking good is it..

[ez-1]

How about serial numbers? Same for both shoes? They should be different.

[streak]

The ART Number is from these

[larshamilton40]

yea...those serial #'s are spot on...damn

[Fritze]

Factory defects? I mean your pair is obviously totally different to other pairs with the same art.-nr. Sorry but Fake imo.

[larshamilton40]

thanks for the help..i wanted to believe!!! lol..what's that ol sayin..'if it's too good to be true...'

[Semafor]

unfortunatley the force isn't with you..........

[darula]

well...I would say, the force is def. WITH you...This is a F***ing cool Sample...It never went into production but the shoe is freakin cool and def. a nowhere to get sample!! I´m sure it is NO fake!

[pokey27]

If it was a sample darula it wouldn't use an ART No. Previously logged/used on another superstar/adidas release it would still have its own unique number

eeerrrr i'm lost is it fake or a un-released sample that does happen but darula is that then a un-released sample box?Pokey i believe is right it's all about the digits.

Definitely fakes.... an online shop from HongKong dealing with factory defects?!!

It has it´s own number
So i guess just the word "sample" is wrong here.
G17708 is the Art-Nr. but it never went into production.
Really cool item...
But i know nothing about the box...

Why not? Made in Indo...Possible!
And def. NO FAKES!

Haven't we already confirmed the ART Number belongs i believe to this model:



Can't have two different shoes with the same ART number.
I maybe wrong but unless they decide to make a new box design no need for a sample box is there, what i'm trying to say that if the box has the same ART number that is clearly on another shoe bells should be ringing.
