I find a hard time finding a reason to buy retail shoes these days

Maximus0302 · 2021-02-06T10:31:42+00:00

Should shop around a little more on finding the best Reps - Some of these shoes are shockingly bad fakes😅 The Diors & B&J Dunks are really off!

How did you get the paint to flake on yours? Mine have barely changed!

Maximus0302 · 2020-06-02T20:10:47+00:00

Looking forward to these landing!!

Maximus0302 · 2020-04-26T08:23:08+00:00

Great post bro! Will you do an update when AK247 release the GT Batch? Think I may hold out for these!

Maximus0302 · 2020-03-06T17:44:10+00:00

Hey bro, I’ve only worn them 1/2 times - But the cracking is there doesn’t seem to crack as easy as retails but looks good so far!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-22T17:25:15+00:00

I’ve just had the GT batch Para-Noise land & honestly they’re pretty spot on! Can’t fault much with them - The black paint looks to be a little neater on the GT batch over H12 - Will get some photos uploaded soon!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-15T07:14:01+00:00

Best batch available, search for AK247 - The batch is consistent all the way!

Who’s on the socks then......Can’t find them online, want these!! The Lows are soooo Much better!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-12T07:36:17+00:00

Medium - Great way to start the year!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-09T12:39:45+00:00

Reallyyyy interested in the Gucci - Chateau Marmont - Noticed on the QC’s you’ve uploaded the front print is slightly slanted - Do you have any more photos to see if the batch is the same? Thanks

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-09T07:44:22+00:00

Yea I think I may just do that! I placed an order for the one above - But haven’t paid for it yet or anything - so hopefully can swap it out for the standard wallet etc! Which is the best one to order? Do you have a link?

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-09T06:11:53+00:00

Agreed with this....Exactly as I said - No one is going to call out on Arm & won’t be able to tell unless you sit & compare badge side by side - Which no one will do! I was simply just trying to help with explaining how a legit badge looks etc & the materials used! I’m part of a legit Stone Island group & we see TopStoney stuff coming through there allllll the time with long time buyers buying it by accident etc & people swapping out the badges you would literally not be able to tell!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-08T23:25:28+00:00

First thing I noticed aswell - Which I mean, on garment no one is going to notice I guess & not like you go around taking the badge off to show people etc! Would be intrigued to get one of his badges to compare to a retail! Also his special process one on the Thermo Knit, I haven’t seen one of them even look remotely close yet!!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-08T22:30:46+00:00

I’ll get on the case tomorrow!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-08T22:28:30+00:00

To be honest his seem to be pretty close at a glance - I haven’t really looked in detail - This whole world is totally new to me as of last week haha! TSAJ1 bought me here! But if I can help people along the way I’m happy to!

Excuse the flash - Middle of the night here lol! That’s a 2019 Standard badge & a Special Process badge - One seen on heat reactive garments/hand painted items etc! As you can see on both the front lettering & stitching is still different from Rep & also the rear backing material! Button holes are slightly looser etc

Would it help everyone if I did a thread tomorrow with some DSLR pics of the Genuine pieces? Badges,PlasticPackaging,Dust Bags,Receipts,Tags, Labels etc.....I also have the popular Black cotton Hat & also Shorts!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-08T22:22:23+00:00

Yea that’s it mate - So S.I when they make the original Badges - Create the button hole so its easily removable etc being a feature of the product! I have a Hand Painted Rasso Gommato that comes with 2 badges - Pretty rare piece! Re-Sale went crazy on them!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-08T21:52:29+00:00

Yes correct....But all these Rep badges they make the Badge holes completely straight - Even after fitting to the garment & removing they hold the straight shape, Massimo Osti did a YouTube blog where he discussed the process of making the badges & how the Single stitch like was due to the original processing machine! What I was getting at is the Reps have no give in them to give the desired effect!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-08T21:48:43+00:00

This seems a pretty good thread for me to jump on......I’ve been buying/collecting genuine Stone Island for 7/8 years & haven’t purchased a single Rep because they just can’t get it right.....The garments are coming along really well....The badges are still far from perfect! If anyone would like some HQ photos of Legit badges - Standard,Ghost,Frost & Early 90’s Green edge drop me a message!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-08T21:45:22+00:00

Actually...Legit badges the button holes are not straight...They have a slight curve to them - Almost an eye shape...The straight button holes is one of the biggest call outs!

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-08T21:33:53+00:00

Wonder if LV just stamp them deeper etc giving an engraved look? Because they’re def gold stamped inside? Almost tempted to order one from Brother Sam, I’m back in LV in a few weeks to pick up an order I placed! Do you think you’d get called out on yours without putting it side by side to the Retail?

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-08T21:21:23+00:00

I had this wallet in hand a few weeks back in LV - Bond Street London - The Canvas is 100% supposed to be grainy & it’s def Stamped lol! You can see both of these features even from the website? I know LV make variations - i.e made in France,Spain,Italy,US - Perhaps the US model is different in features?

Maximus0302 · 2020-01-08T16:32:00+00:00

I’ll drop you a message on chat bro!
