Thought so. Reason I ask is I live in Jersey and we don't pay VAT, Urban Industries say they remove VAT but with Jersey set as my delivery local I still see 74.95. Hoping they do remove vat as I should pick these up for 74.95 less th sale 20% and then less VAT.

Jordan 6 Infrared (black mid) and Jordan 4 cement are my holy grail shoes!

Anyone got an app called 'Insole'? American app selling popular trainers. Presume they are fake?

Looking online there's not a lot of buzz around it, and it seems to have the Yeezy Boost on it. For those reasons I'd doubt its legitimacy; there are other groups like Flight Club which do legit check their stuff, but might cost more.

Good choice, I have them in blue, they are v comfy, but I had to shave the little nodules on the heels as they kept catching the back of my jeans, was bloomin annoying!!

ps, quoting you doesn't seem to work v well!

Is there anyone on this thread who can check a pair of Cream Yeezy Boosts for authenticity? I recently bought some but have my doubts if they're real. I've looked at a few comparison guides and the replica sneaker Reddit page but found nothing helpful.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'll check photos when I'm home. How much did you pay? that's without doubt the biggest sign

I paid just below resale price plus shipping. They were sourced through the Yeezy Talk Worldwide Facebook group.

The seller started out as the best of a bad bunch, properly articulated responses and took care in the fact he was selling something, the rest were using hard to understand acronyms and being vague about details. Then once I had paid my money to this guy he said he couldn't find the tag (they were supposed to be deadstock) and wouldn't be able to send the invoice/delivery note in the box as he'd lost it. Then the day they were delivered and I'd signed for them he started to message saying please leave positive feedback on PayPal for the shoes so he could get his money cleared (new PayPal account). It just seemed a bit fishy and I was disappointed I paid for the price for a deadstock pair but they didn't have the tag on them.

They look pretty bad quality to me compared to the first run but that does happen with legit stuff too. Did he give you a receipt?

[GG89]

I'd say they are decent quality fakes after having a real good look, white are hardest fakes to spot.

Check this video for reference

I wasn't aware there was more than one run. I got a Return Note.

I've watched the video and compared my pair with the fakes and retails on the video and there's bits on mine that are close to retail, then other bits that are close to the fakes. For example, my inner sole doesn't have the 3 dots making them fake but then the sticker on the inside is the correct typeface and font to the retails. The sole on mine is a little brown though but the UV test shows mine as having properly defined lines.

I know on eBay there are guys selling Legit Check services and I've been tempted to ask one of them for their opinion too. Its a tough call.

EDIT: I paid one of the eBay people to check them and they asked for photos etc.. They also said probably high quality fakes but couldn't be sure unless they were in hand. I've phoned PayPal and they were unhelpful so I then phoned my credit card people and asked what the process is and they've said they need an email from Adidas to say the person I bought them from isn't a official stockist, phoned Adidas and they wouldn't do it due to legal reasons.

Now I need to send photos of the shoes to Adidas for checking but I'm scared they will say genuine when according to everyone else they're replica.

Actually scrap that, just had an email from Adidas saying what I needed it to say. Forwaded that off to CC company and will see what they say.

Lesson learnt not to buy shoes from anywhere but official channels, even if the seller says they're the real deal.

I tend to wear my trainers till they're on their last legs - like these



Replaced them with these cheapos, wanted a retro type of trainer, they're comfortable for my wide feet and were only £32

[joshcowin]

These arrived, pleased with them.

what are those reebok called?

[Spanglepants]

Think something like Rayen, I'll check

Yeah they're Rayens, easiest place to find them is SportsDirect.
£36 on the tag but £32 at the till. Mine are dark blue but they do them in black as well.

Yeezyboosts selling for less than retail is a huge sign they are fake.
I'd say atleast 50% of yeezys bought on release day are bought for resale so someone is going to sell them for less than they paid when they can a) send them back b) sell them for £150 more atleast.
