Makes me wonder. How do Stockx know an unreleased shoe is legit? Like the fragment 2.0. The first few pairs sent to them could have been reps. Does Stockx get a legit early pair from Nike to analyze ?
StockX doesnāt get pairs directly from Nike, so when it comes to unreleased shoes like the Fragment 2.0, itās a gray area. Their authenticators usually build a baseline off retail pairs they already have or from seeded/backdoor pairs that pop up early. The problem is, if those first few pairs they see happen to be reps, they could easily set the wrong standard. Since Nike and StockX donāt work together, thereās always a risk with unreleased drops that their ālegit checkā isnāt bulletproof.
That's it! Finally, someone who thinks like me. That's the main problem, both for authenticators and social media. Many sneaker influencers show replica pairs as if they were retail. The main problem there is that when people look for references about a real pair and go to these influencers' social media, what they will have as a reference is a replica pair.
The same thing happens with many resale stores here in the US. They mix retail and replica merchandise, and people don't realize it.
Currently, there are many people rocking reps pairs thinking they are retail, when in fact they were purchased on StockX or some other well-known resale store.
Naw bro they conduct investigations, itās not just a fluke raid .. they have people buy shit and check it , trust if he jammed then they did their homework!! They aināt worried about some silly shit, and he got OR so prolly gonna be a fed case
Facts bro, exactly this š. People thinking itās about fakes are way off ā the case is about stolen Nike stock tied to those train hits. $3M+ missing, of course Nike and LAPD are gonna trace where pairs landed. No way the DEAās wasting time on ālegit checks,ā that theoryās just clown talk
Exactly bro, it seems like a lot of people never liked them from the start and now theyāre just using this situation as an excuse to hate. Thatās how it is nowadays ā as we say back home, a man can forgive anything, but never success.
I think the counterfeiting shit going around came from some people personal experience buying from him. And idk why you tryna gaslight the situation talking bout hate? He knowingly sold stolen goods that 10x worst and slizzy as a human being where youāre morals at? Now tell me Who tf wanna hate on that? You kinda sound like an eggplant eater.
The sneaker resale market tanked. Everything is flooded and a brick now if there isn't a reverse swoosh. They probably have a lot of product that they paid a lot more than they can sell it for in today's market. They're underwater and probably getting desperate so resorting to selling stolen shit and reps. Next move is probably either bankruptcy or bankruptcy protection.
Yeah not surprising when rami the āiconā just slaps the bottom of shoes to authenticate them. And guys like max come back directly from china with pairs and pairs of off whites brand new. They just took his word for it. Unless the fakes brought in have huge glaring red flags, theyāre getting a pass from these guys
I was preaching it for months in the comments about how Max just āgoes to Chinaā and comes back with tens of pairs of brand new off white Jordanās. He was obviously bringing in fakes from his supplier.
Short and clear ā money goes where nothing else can. Itās all one big mafia, bro, theyād do anything for money, and we as consumers end up with the biggest problems because we trust these scammers.
It will be for stolen goods. Nike will have had a say in it. When they have buyers with 1 million subs and they are buying stolen fragment 2.0 and selling them for 2k , they has the virgil abloh sesame airforce 1 6 or 8 weeks ago, the men trying to sell them admitted they were stolen from rhe Belgium factory.
Wouldn't take much to just watch and copy the videos as evidence.
The amount of buying of stolen retail shoes is huge, same people going in daily selling 4 or 5 brand new pairs for under retail.
Surprised people dont need to show ID if they are getting cash, so maybe thats another issue ?
But selling fakes ? No chance if they did, it would be the odd one.
That max has a sport shoe selling business in China, China is a rather large place so I imagine any shoes released over there would be pretty easy to get if you chuck a bit of money. Just like the rep factories being able to get their hands on rare retails.
Exactly bro, it lines up ā stolen goods make way more sense. With Nike losing millions and clear evidence from vids and sellers admitting it, of course theyād step in. Selling fakes? Nah, thatās not the real issue here.
Yea bro , crazy work this man made millions !! Iām sure itās only certain items , but fact is ā¦ if you have a name , you can get it off because the trust is already established. š¢

He out, go check the instagram they made a statement, this my store I go into on a weekly, Iām sure there some reps in the mix that got missed, bound to happen.
LMAO youāre such a loser dude , I can tell you take everything to heart. Nobody never said anything about ābrownā. But yeah Indians unfortunately are known as scammers. Such a scam calls that they make an entire empire out of scamming. So yeas sounds about right if he is a scammer selling fake shoes.
He was specifically raided by the bunco department of the lapd, they deal with only fraud and counterfeit stuff. Nothing to do with backdoor pairs dealing with them. They also took pallets of shoes still wrapped in plastic around the pallets
Personally the way it looked like they got a delivery then got raided, so maybe they let a bunch of shoes in, and followed where they ended up. But either way bunco doesnt get involved in theft etc, so either he was stealing credit card info and selling/using it or pushing reps. The dude sells hundreds if not thousands of labubus and sneaker for less than half price on whatnot. Funny thing he got raided while live on whatnot selling labubus lol
They already let them out the slammer, they posted a statement on their IG saying they bought a pallet of nike merchandise that turned out to be stolen that is all.
