My Opinion On Buying From StockX (The TRUTH!)

[@BlakeYarbrough]

I’ve been asked this question A LOT. Yes, I did compare my pair to my brothers pair for quality, leather, tags, etc... but he wears a smaller size than me. I only compared my pairs in the video because they are all the same size 👌

stock x needs better customer service options in particular a call center. its annoying trying to email them just to receive a copy and paste response. a company of their size should obviously have a phone number

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Ive made 35-40 purchases with them and very few issues. Maybe 2-3 and mainly with shipping updates and delays. That's just me, I've mainly had a pretty good experience. Some others have had awful experiences. I can certainly tell you that with them raising their fees even higher they better step up their service as well. I need great service to pay more than a 10% premium on top of the purchase price.

[@Beenwiththevibe]

One of my friends said he bought something off stockx, and once it went through he noticed that the shipping address had changed. He immediately cancelled the order and hasn’t used them since. He felt there was some scam going on.

true. i do this to all sneakers i buy, specially when i buy in person. i have caught a few fakes doing this

[@wama.89]

Yea, i wasnt sure about my mcas and with blacklight they out real. They have a little swipe aroud the “air” text which is also only visible with blacklight. So the best is lookup blacklight details about your pair and make sure there are no factory markings

[@rodrigoquiroz8616]

I ordered a pair of fear of god raid 1s and they came to me with a bunch of white marks and even a piece was missing from the tongue which is very noticeable Idk how it went through the verification process. If they could send an email or something saying oh the shoes were deemed as authentic but they have some flaws, would you still want this pair or no, and then show what’s flawed on the shoe. Just needs transparency with their customers

[@K24Eddy]

[@marcusg9415]

[@yorickanderson1887]

I also bought a pair of the FoG Raids in the bone colorway from StockX. The box was in good condition and the shoes had all of the packaging compared to the black pair I ordered through SNKRS. After a few months of wearing, I noticed the left shoe had too many factory flaws. The Nike check was off center, stitching flaw on toe box, and the production date didn’t match the right shoe. I honestly think a seller put a fake shoe with a real shoe to get it to pass StockX authenticity. Wish I would’ve noticed before removing the tag! Prob never buying from them again.

[@Xmasochist]

@@yorickanderson1887 The number of factory flaws may be suspicious, but as for mismatched production dates from left shoe to right shoe in the same box... those are quite common for Nikes.

This is what they told me when they refunded me: “As you know, we have a multi-step authentication process to ensure that your order is correct in every way. Unfortunately, your recent order for the adidas Alphaedge 4D Reflective White didn't make it all the way through that process. As a result, we have cancelled your order and have issued a full refund” I’m guessing the pair they received weren’t authentic?🤷🏽‍♂️

[@SlimBandit211]

Yeah I had 2 refunds for the same reason. The only issue for me with StockX is the time it takes. But u figure the wait time is for authentication so its really just a peeve

[@jayarecornelius8260]

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Unfortunately both StockX and Goat seem to allow sellers well past the “2 business days” to ship an item which is frustrating as the buyer. Anytime I sell on those platforms I’m prepared to ship same day or within 24 hrs. Sucks that there’s not harsher penalties for the lazy sellers on there.

However, I lost that peace of mind that the shoes in genuine because if it happened to you it can happen to me.

It was supposed to arrive this week but I am international all the way in the Philippines so it takes time and if the seller hasn’t even shipped it then it will take so much more time than the arrival date this week. You explained it so well and I hope StockX can see this and how it may lose them customers.

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Yeah that’s awful. Whenever I sell something I ship asap. I have never went past the 2 days allowed for shipping. Unfortunately not everyone cares as much though.

[@Xmasochist]

Hi, there. I'm also in the Philippines and incidentally also bought a pair of Mist RF from Stockx. Mine arrived last week, even with the quarantine lockdown going on. Tracked the package on DHL's site. Took about a week to get here, but I did get a notification that the seller had shipped to Stockx within a day or so from my bid being accepted. Hope you get yours soon, too! The Mists are great in person.

[@craesehwani912]

Blake Yarbrough Hey man. An update. After all this I contacted StockX and within a day they got it on an airplane on the way here to the Philippines. I then contacted the carrier, DHL, and coordinated with them. The original delivery time was gonna be April 21st, but, after talking with StockX and DHL they rushed it and shipped it all within a day, and now they just sent it out for delivery now, or so they told me. I learned from this that most of this was the sellers fault, but, also that StockX did nothing about the late seller shipping. However, both StockX and DHL customer service was very understanding and helpful, I just hope that StockX enforces stricter seller policies.

[@fabioj-]

My first purchase on stockx was a already worn-in shoe lmao. It had some stains on the textile as well. Bought a different colorway of the same shoe and it looked pretty legit. It really depends on the seller. Why cant these shoe companies just make enough pairs for everyone that wants one. Have a pre-order list, make enough pairs for those preorders. Once you place the preorder, there are no refunds. So the shoe company doesnt get robbed and everyone is happy.

[@BUSURF2]

Blake, I took a look at a couple of Obsidians from my closet... the tongue is pretty crooked and the heel of mine, while it isn't as pronounced a curve as yours, does curve in. The box not having a stamp is odd and probably alarming. The one thing you didn't comment on too much was the quality or cut of the shoe (up close details). The quality on Obsidians are generally regarded as fairly good on the J1 spectrum. The leather in the toe box and side panels, in Sail are generally very good, soft, buttery. The university blue portions of the shoe are also, likewise, very soft. How was your StockX pair?

[@BlakeYarbrough]

BUSURF2 thanks for commenting! Overall the quality looks fine I’m pretty sure they’re fine BUT the box missing the stamp is SO weird. I’m sure it’s possible that there’s not a stamp but I feel like the odds of that are so small. I still don’t know what I should do at this point.

[@Fartylipjuice]

Why don't you compare with your brothers legit shoe that's sitting right there instead of different colorways

[@jayjay1793]

I’ve experienced all the same emotions when I received my obsidians from StockX. I also bought a second pair from footlocker and still was unsure of the authenticity. The general consensus is Nike over produced the obsidians to combat the resellers. As a result quality control took a hit and ultimately we the consumers did as well.

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Thanks for the comment! I have definitely seen inconsistencies with quality. I’ve now looked at over 15 pairs in person. None are exactly the same.

Hey bro, the same thing about your last pair happened to me (except I was the seller of the shoe). Ultimately, I think UPS or someone stole the shoe, and I was paid my payout and the buyer was refunded their money. I know it sucks, but there isn't much you can do about someone stealing the shoe. Also, it could be held up in their warehouse because of the Covid-19. I actually just bought a shoe that didn't pass authentication. But what they did was instead of refunding me, they automatically bought the lowest ask for the shoe I bought, and are covering the difference in cost. Not sure why they did this for me (although it could be because my last order the seller didn't ship), but I will take it. Also, Stockx is really dropping the ball with these added fees again. They're going to lose their entire customer base, if they haven't already. I mainly use goat now, and find their services much better.

I have bought several pairs from StockX now and mine have all been authentic and delivered quickly. Similar to your experience with the waverunners, it's been great. Recently I managed to luck out on SNEAKRS for the Jordan 1 Court Purples, but I also won another raffle from END. The pair from SNEAKRS had a stamp in the lid box and the pair from END didn't. Also, my two pairs of travis' didn't have stamps in the lid and are european pairs. I think ultimately there's so much variation in production that it is sometimes difficult to authenticate. Plus there's so many contradicting legit check videos on youtube for all pairs. Invest in a black light torch (great way to authenticate most sneakers). Having held fake pairs of sneakers I can honestly say that you can ALWAYS tell between authentic and non authentic. Smell being a big give away! Great video however! Subbed. *EDIT* Having watched the ending of your video regarding your lost order. I think in the current climate with the global pandemic, I feel like there has to be a little bit of slack given to StockX and delivery companies. Bear in mind that your order being lost or a problem in transit is purely on the delivery courier / service, not StockX. I've ordered stuff from several places over the last 4 weeks and on a few occasions my packages have gone missing or not arrived, this has always been a delivery service issue and not the retailer.

[@jorgeezquivel9354]

Imo I have never had issues but I always prefer buying and selling on goat. So much easier to use

[@jasonjames4283]

jorge ezquivel I disagree goat scammed me for my blue lobster I would be careful

[@LeonardoDiax24]

Jason James how ?

[@jorgeezquivel9354]

Jason James every online platform you sell you run a risk whether your selling or buying. I just think that we see more issues on stock X than on goat. Not saying it doesn’t happen on goat but maybe not as much as stock X

[@jasonjames4283]

Leonardo Diax said they never arrived for verification and they demanded original reciept from 2008 or they can’t investigate

[@jasonjames4283]

jorge ezquivel I understand it’s a risk I use StockX often never any problem then I try goat for used shoes and get burnt like I said I understand there’s risk I’m just saying be careful. Much love stay safe✊🏾

[@davidaguilar905]

Yeah the obsidian jordan1 they have a weird shape to them they look authentic to me but I could be wrong with the box not having a stamp on it

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Yeah overall I think the shoe looks fine. The tongue seems extra crooked but it’s not that big of a deal. The stamp thing really throws me off.

[@Lashaun61]

I think u go with your gut. I feel the same way I’ve looked at Jordan’s for years but I question every pair of shoes I get and I order a lot online. Usually something throws u off for a reason. Ppl make mistakes. I say prolly unauthorized or something.

[@Dahan_98]

I bought the Obsidian UNC from Stock X and it has all the features u outlined

[@TheJiggyTapes]

I loved stock x but as time goes on the more and more exposed they become, ironically Sean Wotherspoon even said it himself. They advocate changing the sneaker game but sell fakes with poor customer service? It’s right in front of our eyes

[@CarltonCarvalho]

its a live marketplace so it works both ways. you could have an order cancelled and have to pay more or you could have an order cancelled and pay less. I think its fine unless it happens more than 2 times in the same year. Another benefit is this: I sold the stussy nike spiridons last week. accidentally listed a 6.5 instead of a 5 and it sold for 345. Since I messed up the order had to be cancelled and shoes sent back but then immediately the 5 sold for 445 so I made $100 because of a cancellation but the market was up today. Stockx is great. Nothing is perfect its ran by people checking millions of shoes and these damn fakes are getting ridiculously good. the focus should be on getting these factories shut down and getting these sellers arrested lmao if anything.

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Carlton Carvalho yeah that was part of their email, the live marketplace aspect. Unfortunately all issues I’ve had do not work out in my favor lol I have had more good experiences than bad for sure, not trying to roast StockX like I said in the video. I wish they were a little tighter on their operations/customer service though. I don’t feel like that’s too much to ask.

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Also I agree, I don’t understand how these fakes can be produced without any repercussions. At least that’s how it seems.

[@CarltonCarvalho]

@@BlakeYarbrough Yeah maybe I'm biased because of all the great service and exceptions that have been made for me with stockx since I've been selling with them. I would have been devastated if I got hit with that 15% fee on a late ship because of a Nike delay when stockx already takes about 12% total. However, the downside to this all is that I dont see service improving in the favor of anyone other than stockx because they make more money to send you back to sell or buy again vs letting any return anything. It's in their favor to not turn away really good fakes as well. This whole stockx thing reminds me of how streaming services came along and gave artists like myself a new revenue stream. Yeah the pay rate per stream isn't what we desire but it was none existent once so it's something to be thankful. I think stockx falls in the same category. They will have to get better at legit checking though or it'll be their demise

[@CarltonCarvalho]

@@BlakeYarbrough WW3 is the only option lol j/k

The Obsidians do curve foreword more then other Jordan’s, but that blue square in the back looked a bit weird

[@centurifice]

I got the SB NYC to paris from stockx and my box didnt have a stamp as well. My wings logo looks a lil sus cause it was like misplaced

[@falinecue5579]

Artisans do u have Instagram I could help u

[@milesmoto1678]

You do get penalized if you don’t ship on time.

[@QUiNTiNBANKS]

Good concept , when it comes to the shipping

[@travisthompson2235]

Stock X is a certified middle man. They aren't the best at giving promotions unless it helps them

[@jckiksass]

Loving the content bro! I also had a pair of fake obsidians that were delivered to me from stockx, I ordered 8 pairs from them and 1 pair was blatantly different, the box was off, and the shoe was also different under blacklight. Stockx basically told me they were authentic multiple times and i ended up having to file a credit card claim against that charge. They then banned my account from purchasing and selling.

[@BlakeYarbrough]

That's what I am afraid of having to deal with. I'll be posting an update in my next video. I appreciate you sharing your story.

[@dwaniscool]

I just bought old Air Max 90s and clearly, someone wore the shoes and cleaned the bottoms off. They did not clean the white front off as well as they did the bottom so I knew I was finessed. I buy several shoes from Stock X and this is the only pair that I have been disappointed with. I am so mad about it, the new shoes are just sitting there right now. I paid $177 so that under retail but I would have gladly paid over for real DS Air Maxes. The shoe laces don't look fresh either. StockX has to do better.

[@oubimcius4032]

What kind of air maxes

[@charlespark1319]

What do you think about the racer blue zooms and the royal toe

[@BlakeYarbrough]

I would give them a 5 or 6 out of 10. They are okay but not my favorite.

[@97NikeSb]

Even if it’s retro 1s from Nike themselves or footlocker, champs, etc the tongue is always slanted af

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Thanks for commenting 👌 these seemed extra slanted but a lot of people have said their pair looks the same.

[@BIGLOT]

I purchased some obsidians from goat and I don’t have a stamp on the lid either. Maybe it’s just a thing. I had the dimensions of the box and lid but no stamp. But they’re legit.

[@jayo_kickz2064]

Thats how you no there real the shape of the booty!! That rounded out back i have a pair straight from nike and its got that rounded booty

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Jay_O 69 lol thanks bro 👌

[@roscoeyoung3365]

How come you didn’t compare your new j1 in the video to your brothers shoe when you showed off the leases

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Roscoe Young I did.. check the pinned comment

[@zaynesworlds]

Sail laces in everything in all my shoes live sail laces

[@vlonethuugyadigg4726]

Zayne’s World what r sail laces?

[@zaynesworlds]

vlonethuug yadigg a cream color not white white but a off white

[@iceman7232]

Where do you get your sail laces from ? I've been using the 1s I have frm the pairs that come with them but I need a lot more...Thx

[@AlmaHitting]

*so you want to buy a pair a black cement 3s* ?

[@drakehukill5230]

Not that I’m defending StockX, but they shouldn’t have to compensate a buyer if an order gets cancelled. They’re not responsible for an individual seller to ship out an order, maybe if StockX ran all their business out of their own inventory it’d make sense to compensate when orders are cancelled. StockX is a middle man dealing with shipping internationally, I recently purchased the Travis 4s from StockX and it took 3 weeks to receive the shoes. I live in Michigan which has a StockX facility in Detroit so shipping isn’t usually long after it arrives in Detroit, but due to my order coming from Canada it took forever I’m assuming with customs because of Coronavirus. So I think as a consumer we just have to keep that in mind, because I was also upset about the delay in my order.

[@AgentJ415]

Copped the Waverunners at a little over retail. Goes with so many outfits.

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Yup 👏👏

[@yo74will]

I went to watch reviews I'm almost positive they are real lol

[@tavonrice1935]

Where’d you buy your shoe collection boxes

[@BlakeYarbrough]

KingPrize they’re from the container store. Drop front boxes. Here’s the link. www.containerstore.com/s/closet/shoe-storage/large-drop-front-shoe-box/12d?productId=11006294

[@BALLzDeep1986]

Boycott StockX!!! Soon as Goat gets more apparel inventory, they'll get way more business, which = more price transparency, which = lower pricing to compete w/ stockX!!! StockX gets away w/ selling fakes here & there! Especially if the buyer doesn't have a voice or isn't a KZbinr! They only care about their sellers because they're stockX's true customer! They're fee's went through the roof! Looks all good until u check out😳 & to top it off, u can't even earn free shipping after your 5th purchase👎🏾👎🏾we the consumer's need to exercise our power on stockX!!!

[@budgetsneakerhead3291]

Goat will become just as bad as they grow. It’s a numbers thing

[@TheEliteGamer005]

hey man, I got the same pair and got mine from nike au. one point you made about the patch on the heel looks okay because mine looks like that too, although I had a look under the lid of my box and I did have that stamp so idk man.

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Yeah the stamp missing is my biggest issue. I also compared the stitching to my brothers pair and his is stitched closed together if that makes sense. His pair is from the SNKRS app. Update coming in the next video.

[@minimalenlive]

these yeezy's 700 are at this point the most disgusting pair of shoes i've ever seen .it's like this design have no futur here ...

[@jacksonwilkin5369]

Bought a pair of new palace shirts from stock x. Got the shorts and tried them on... had a Publix receipt in the pocket. Which means they didn’t even look at the shorts and they were not new. They made me pay for shipping to send shorts back. Did get refunded my money but I wanted the shorts...Been using goat ever since

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Man that’s awful

[@justinwiseman8965]

You just admitted that everyone was wearing it so you bought it. Talk about following styles rather than creating your own.

[@jahtherr]

yo did you get lucky with the court purple?

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Jah Ther my brother got them but I didn’t go for them. I like the first court purple better.

[@nathangonzales8351]

I have Travis’s, nigels, and obsidians. My obsidians are shorter than the other two. However, my box has the stamp. I wouldn’t use the stamp as a way to legit check though. Similarly, my obsidians are shaped slightly different.

[@MrZayzay12345678]

I got a pair of Yeezy 500s and they were worn.. barely but noticeable but I also got a pair of gym red 9s and there were no problems

[@KingsdownRoots]

Anyone else noticed when you buy a pair on StockX at a good ask (usually pre release) and then your order gets cancelled? StockX tell me it's not passed authentication but I've had this a lot recently, usually on pairs which have risen on price fast. Smells fishy to me..

[@BlakeYarbrough]

Unfortunately it happened to me on the Sean Wotherspoon air max. I bought the all accessory pair for around $680 and they didn’t pass authentication (I think the seller only had the extra laces not all accessories because StockX changed the way they titled each shoe shortly after) but anyway by the time I got my refund the all accessory pair was well over $1,000 so I ended up never getting them. 😔

[@PoloMagno23]

Do you order your sail laces or do you just get them from another pair of your 1s?

[@BlakeYarbrough]

I put the OG sail laces in my Travis Scott’s and also Nigels. But yeah for 1s that don’t come with factory sail laces I ordered them from LaceLab. Here’s the link www.lacelab.com
