Default Help Me Spot The Fake

Hey,
I recently bought a pair of nike air force ones off ebay,
£35 or $70 to all u yankees
They look sqaurer at the toe then they should be they look almost identicle to a pair bought from a high street retailer.
the box looks authentic it has a cetificate of authenicty and a keychain
i thought i would just double check basically i dont want to be walking around in fake kicks.
Thanks

Did you check the seller's feedback on ebay? Do you know anything about the seller? I'd suggest going to a store that carries the real version and comparing the two.

Different people have different attitudes towards fakes. I have one friend who very proudly carries around her fake LV bag, bought for less than $50 on the beach in Greece (I think she paid a tad much, personally, although it is a good fake). Most of my friends wouldn't consider it, and I have a good contingent of friends who are kind of anti-brand name snobby and wouldn't ever wear brand names, fake or real.

Personally, I bought a fake James Perse t-shirt off of ebay. I knew the price was too good to be true, but it was only because I suspected the color and compared it to a real JP that I noticed the tag on the inside was different. I probably should have known, based on the huge quantity of these tees the seller was turning out. Then again, I got a t-shirt I like for a reasonable price, fake or not... different than status shoes that everyone is going to see.

But while we have a Britisher here, what is this High Street phenomenon, anyway? Can anyone explain to me what it means?

yeah fakes are tough to spot..

i bought a pair of shoes from Nike Shoes - Air Jordan Shoes - Air Force Ones Shoes - Nike Basketball Shoes and wasn't sure if they were real. I took them too a shoe pro at my local sneaker store and he tested them inside and out and results came back good!

The shoes are 100% authentic so I think I'm gonna buy my shoes there from now on. theres no shipping fees either so keep that in mind if you are browsing their website

You should check it out!
