So, Crimson are you sold that they're fakies? Hehe, some look pretty good, and the materials almost look correct, like with the removable sockliner, hangtag, and stitching. Selling fakes on a site is always an indicator, so are we going with fakes on this one? Ima' have to blog a new post, and put this site on blast for selling them!

I mean, I'm still looking through the site, and I'm finding some pretty good copies, of current stuff. Perhaps they have someone who jacks stuff from the factories? Some of these are listed as samples, too. See the KAWS that are embroidered? Hehe, I wonder if they meant to be embroidered in the beginning?

Honestly, I have no idea. Most of them look really good.

But for example this thing - Vans never puts 'Pro Classics' on the heel tab

But then again look at the stitching - it's perfect.

BUT ( ) check this out - wrinkles, one foxing is higher than the other.

Since most of them are US9's I think they just sell samples. Samples can be of worse quality, right?

I know, and also the Airblaster Eras that I found like 10 of, at The Rack last year, all have the proper airblaster hangtag, but the insole is wrong. The construction of each shoe is spot on, and they have A LOT of the newest releases from Vault, CVLT collab, etc. It's possibly they're just preproduction samples. Hmmm.

That might be the case in them selling samples. They may have first dibs samples coming out of the factory. And with samples its kind of hit or miss when it comes to quality. Just like final production there may be some that are of great quality while others have imperfections. For example I've seen final production shoes with wrinkles.

Brant, if you are seeing this thread, then compare these Syndicate Buffalo Boots to yours please!

Ok, so we've established that they're samples. Now I want those Barbees

I'm enjoying the green/navy and black/blues. I'd consider a pair if they got released.

If they are released as seen I'll get all three. It they are changed a lil bit... I'll get all three LOL

Those look accurate to me on quick glance---the right patina, just in bad lighting.
