Fake, fake, fake Btw. does anyone here have these in size 13? And if not does anyone know if somebody may have them, I'm willing to pay premium for these, as I have a pair, but these are really worn out, so they don't look quite great in the gym! I feel more like a homeless guy, who enters the room by accident

Just for the purposes of education, what is it exactly about this site that gives away the fake-ness? I've only ever bought stuff from reputable sites and ebayer's with the highest ratings (or people on this board), but I'm genuinely interested in what kinds of red flags to look out for with sites like this.

The most obvious thing would be the availability of the shoe. These are an old model and they were sold out everywhere a long time ago. It's well known they are now going for a premium. The fact that this site just happens to have multiple pairs in every size - and is selling them at a discount - is unbelievable.

FWIW, a large number of fake sites seem to use the .info domain extension. Not sure why...

My advice is to always refer to the 'contact us' part of the site. A reputable seller will provide an address, contact telephone number and an e-mail that typically contains the company name. Less reputable sellers tends to provide a generic e-mail that generally ends in gmail or yahoo. If you can't contact the seller to enquire about the whereabouts of your order I would give them a miss.

Cool, thanks for the info gents.

(I think!!) somebody ordered a pair of the Nike Sweet High Tops that DC sported during the Dragon Tattoo premiers (also wore them on Skyfall set). A horrendous pair of trainers turned up if I remember rightly (from a website like that lol)
