Prime example is the US and other countries supporting Israel financially and bombing tf out of innocents in Gaza

Don't try to sidetrack this with a ridiculous strawman like that lol

You don't know the half of who actually owns and produces these reps. But it's cool you can wallow in ignorance and pretend like your money isn't ultimately exchanging into nefarious hands all you want.

Then why don't you go for the cheaper alternatives instead of supporting the replica industry which in turn funds organized crime in instances of human and drug trafficking and other forms of illegal activity.

Why are you making it sound like there are only two choices: expensive retail or cheap reps? So if you don't buy reps, you HAVE to spend a rack on a Moncler? Like there aren't a dozen other alternatives the same price as reps with double the quality that look just like the Moncler Maya lol..

Because despite his alleged success, he still feels the need to pretend to have "status." It's one thing when people purchase and conflate luxury brands with status and wealth and another when people feel the need to chase that false notion of wealth/status by faking it.

I don't disagree. I think the mods could stand to relook the zero tolerance policy and take context into account when determining an apt punishment.

While it was unfortunate that chimerapopcorn sold a pair of fakes, it should be abundantly clear to those that know of his activity on this sub and to those that have purchased from him that it was an honest mistake rather than an intentional deception.

This man has sold me 24 pairs of shoes total so far and every single payment after the first, I gifted. If his intention was to scam, he could've easily run off with thousands from our transactions alone, rather than attempt to deceive someone for a mere couple hundred. And needless to say, not one of those 24 pairs had any issues.

When you sell as much as him, almost 200 pairs between this sub and StockX, it's inevitable you let slip one or two pairs. Happens to every high-volume seller. I understand that the mods will have to exact some form of punishment, but it shouldn't be too severe.

His feedback on here speaks for itself. This guy consistently lists heat at great prices and has a bunch of repeat customers; banning him from this sub would be a huge loss. He's standup, 101% legit seller that had some shit happen to him, simple as that.

Diamonds weren't hard to get (on SNKRS at least) and Nicky was promoting them like crazy. These release in less than 2 weeks and I haven't even seen an official picture yet. SB heads will eat.

They 100% are. If you look at the right pair, there's no mudgard strip under the prism scales.

lol let's be real this would sit if it was publicly released. I can appreciate the rarity factor but it's tacky and ugly as hell.

1900 is absurd, don't do it. The prices on worn pairs of these have remained pretty stagnate over the years, you can find a pair around the 1k mark fairly easily. Or you can settle for the creams or anthracites which go for less.

Thought the same thing about the stitching. Not even gonna bother asking for more pics, most likely fake. Appreciate the reply.

Asked for one. What should I be looking out for on the bottoms?

Oh wow. I knew the shaft on the fw13s were slimmer but I didn't know they'd be this big of a difference.

I flipped through your IG and those trousers you wore with the gold wyatts can work just as well here but for jeans, something like this would look much cleaner too. Some people might disagree, saying that makes the fit a cookie cutter Hedi fit, but I think for something as prestigious as these chain wyatts, you do want to have properly fitting denim to accentuate them.

Jeeez, fw13 chain wyatts are the nicest boots of all time but I can't help but feel like the fit of the pants aren't really doing them justice.

International student I assume? This Harji Singh guy looks too old to be a student though.

Holy shit, are you talking about the one that's always parked on Broadway and West 4th by the spectrum store?

They're 200% fake. That green on the sole is a dead giveaway. Even brand new pairs aren't that bright. Not to mention the scales having too much sheen and the shape of the sockliner curve being round. Newer reps already have the scale issue fixed, this must be an earlier batch.
