I bought a pair of Nike Air Jordan V's in the classic black color way with reflective tongue. They arrived in about 1 week and as soon as I saw the SHINY rubber with 0 carbon compound I knew they were fakes. They look real on their site and the "GUARANTEE" authentic shoes or you get a full refund.

Stitching and embroidery was convincing but the shiny hard rubber of both the bottom sole and side sole is an obvious sign of a fake. Please do not support counterfeiters and please do not buy from www.ajkings.com

I have learned a valuable lesson, and I did find a list of honorable vendors online that sell only authentic Nike's. Too bad I just can't find the Jordan 5's I have wanted since I was a poor kid and could never afford them . Looks like I am outta luck.

I will post some pics of the fakes a little later.

I got a pair of white, black, and red XIV's that I scored from Foot Action super cheap (it was on sale AND I got a membership discount). I also got a pair of Black Cat AJ3's. I've been looking for white and gray low 1's and steel gray X's at a decent price.

 

my friend just buy it from the forums.

ssole? something like that.

 

issforums.com
niketalk.com
nikeskateboarding.com

 

pickyourshoes.com

just got couple of pairs from them.

 

breakin necks alright but damn it's a shame...... shoes ruined my life!lol

 

How do you guys buy shoes online knowing that you got the right size? My feet range from size 9 to size 11 depending on which shoe I put on.

 

+1...

worse was buying cycling shoes and the european sizing...

 

I have to ask, why in the hell would anyone want to buy a pair of expensive shoes that will just wear out in a few months? I just have never understood the need for the "bling bling" nike uber omg jordan shoe.

Now I will admit ive payed $300+ for my cowboy boots, and a good $300+ on my combat/work boots but...I will have them for 20 years before I think about replacing them. Day to day shoes I buy payless junk, wear it tell its dead, toss them and get another $20 set.

 

I believe its more of a collectible thing. Like collecting comics or panties. My friends who were into it never wore their shoes. Just bought and stored. Hell, I've had people offer me $$$ for a year old pair of adidas bball shoes (the ones Kobe wore when he won the dunk contest) right off my feet while I was ballin up in the gym once!

 

Yeah, me too cept 11-13. I think every shoe I have is a different size, some of the same manufacturer. I used to get Nikes back in the skool dayz but have not for a long time. Counterfeit shoes huh. Wow.

 

thats just downright nuts! , they are just...SHOES.

 

I wear my AJ's and I never pay more than $150 for a pair. :P
