StockX Admitted Selling Fakes, Yet Your Favorite YouTuber Still Buys! Will You?

[@delirium3648]

eBay lets you actually see the product before hand. So you have that extra layer of detecting fakes. StockX is all hidden behind the app.

[@retailpapi]

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@marcom.4753]

finally one valid argument posted

[@retailpapi]

[@bee_p_all_day3059]

I stopped buying from StockX years ago! eBay has been my go to, GOAT secondary.

[@retailpapi]

🔥🔥🔥

[@dendaga5162]

Ebay charges more

[@Ki55yface]

It’s always gonna be a risk if you’re not buying from snkrs or actual stores because I’ve had issues with all 3! Smh

[@Richard-Reloaded]

They all have the same janky auth process.

[@leep_uq]

Bought sneakers, street wears etc from StockX since 2017 and never had any issues. I have been able to return items that had factory flaws and defects and always had no issues. Stop listening to random posts or tweets, unless you had issues in the past, then stop making a big deal out of it

[@chuckhill2379]

I never brought from stock x... If don't hit retail on to the next shoe

[@retailpapi]

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Ki55yface]

Yeah I was still buying certain pieces from StockX just not sneakers, now I’m done with them for good! Definitely remember that data breach. F them.

[@retailpapi]

Most definitely! Understandable

[@krownheightsgang7053]

And they charging you for verification at it 🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂😂

[@retailpapi]

Word 😂😂😂

[@calebgyamfi1656]

I bought my medium olives Travis Scott’s from StockX, ended up selling them on eBay and they passed the eBay authentication process, luckily the ones I’ve bought from them seem to be real

[@retailpapi]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SincerelyJ927]

Stockx has always worried me...ive never purchased from them, but if i do it will never be anything overhyped and most likely it will never be jordans

[@retailpapi]

Understandable!!!! For sure

[@plentyhardaway]

This lawsuit has sneaker youtube on fire 😂

[@retailpapi]

I just wanna know will you continue to watch people that review from StockX?

[@retailpapi]

It’s a good conversation starter for the community let’s see what happens next

[@plentyhardaway]

@retailpapi no sir. Honestly you know we been looking at StockX funny in the light way before this lawsuit anyways

[@oldirtydave22]

Goat is far from perfect! They sent me orange lobsters without the bands! Black toes with completely destroyed box looked like ace Ventura delivered it. Nike sb jpack with no box paper , damaged box and missing extra laces. They get mad when you open a return too start threatening you etc.. I have over 5k in buys and sales too

[@retailpapi]

Did you ever receive your money back for either shoes? If not, why did you continue to purchase?

[@No_Hype85]

Goat is far from perfect, I'm not gonna get into it cuz they made right last time but the first two I lost a lot of money

[@oldirtydave22]

@@retailpapiI got my money back the first time. The second time they were acting like I was trippin because I wanted my money back because they sent me orange lobsters without the bands! They offered me like a $20 refund I had to fight and get forwarded to a supervisor to get my refund and I lost a killer deal. The last time was the Jordan 1 black toes I bought two pairs because they were below retail with shipping and tax. I kid you not on both boxes they were completely crushed and destroyed and the box kinda tells the story of the shoe I wanted at least one clean box. I said I’m done after that!

[@retailpapi]

Damn that story is crazy next content your bank with the details and pics facts

[@wearefashionn]

The issue I find with StockX, imo, is the market aspect, definitely puts into people's heads that they can resell anything for ridiculous prices. Also, you can't view a product before purchasing, that would probably solve a lot of issues. They could also hire better authenticators😂. But GOAT is definitely my go to pick for all things fashion related for sure!

[@retailpapi]

Only time will tell let’s see what happens

[@donaldhodge6549]

I have been burned by GOAT and Stockx. It's the same process except Goat will give you store credit on returns

[@wearefashionn]

@@donaldhodge6549 yeah I got a pair from Flight Club once and they came all yellowed and they were nice enough to let me do a full return

[@Freshkicks305]

I aint too worried about them claims i aint out here buying $2000 shoes from stock x ill be more worried about buying travis scotts or something like chunky dunkys from stock x but general releases i feel like thats less likely to get you burned, ill continue to buy from stock x its the best go to for any sneakers i miss on retail

[@retailpapi]

I said the same thing in other videos but you would expect extra authorization on those no?

[@germanysmith7752]

StockX marketplace is from different sites so no reason to not use it just bcs SOME fakes gets thru unless you get it directly from Nike there always a chance for fakes ppl just overreact and didn’t actually read it didn’t say they sold fakes just said there have been fakes sold if you buy something it looks good and you can’t tell the difference then what’s the problem?

[@juicyfruit6]

ive been buying most of my shoes from eBay and have never had a problem at all

[@CreatedbyLeon]

StockX doesn’t sell fakes, some fakes pass through their verification process. You can’t guarantee authenticity if you have the ability to make a mistake, legally they can still sell and authenticate the shoes but they cannot guarantee it’s 100% authenticity. They do not intentionally sell counterfeit merchandise, they just cannot use certain wording. And the thing about these “fakes” is they’re not actually fake, they’re unauthorized, a fake sneaker wouldn’t pass authentication, but an UA will

[@retailpapi]

Question do you buy off stock x often? Or do you buy ua sneakers?

[@Theauthenticationguru]

No such thing as a UA anymore. Last UA ever found was back in 2015. They just use the term UA now to cover up the shoe being fake.

[@CreatedbyLeon]

@ no, but I have sold an authentic pair of Yeezys. I’ve only purchased a pair of Yeezy 700s of stock x ever. I normally just use goat or go retail. But I hate the false narrative y’all try to paid because it’s a wave. Y’all need to start being accurate in your assessments. If you buy from goat there is a chance you’re buying an UA sneaker, goat also never guarantees 100% accuracy which is why they offer refunds. If you do not purchase from a retail store, you’re most likely buying a UA. And if I payed resell and it ended up being a UA I’m keeping the UA.

[@retailpapi]

@createdbyleon this comment makes no sense to me I think you confused me with someone I buy my shoes from the retail 😂😂😂 and I explain and talk about what you wrote

[@CreatedbyLeon]

@@retailpapi i understand, if you explain a lot about what I wrote yet it makes no sense. So essentially you’re saying you don’t make sense. Y’all jump on a wave based on lawsuits and ideas from other people, they’re not intentionally doing that, their verification process just sucks.

[@jdarg4163]

And i wouldn't be surprised if they are also selling fake Adidas, New Balance, Puma ect

[@jdarg4163]

I am glad i have never ever bought shoes from stock x i only buy from nike, nike sknrs, size and footlocker any shoe store that its not a major known retailer i would never ever buy from

[@blackoutskinny.]

Ebay my number one option i bought some yeezy 700v3 copper fade and i seen some diferrences from the one from ebay

[@216edwin]

The crazy part they sell them three times much more than the real ones

[@retailpapi]

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@DaNewWaveLee]

Nike is unable to authenticate their own shoes. That’s why they shut down the refurbished program.

[@retailpapi]

@danewwavelee key word that why they shut it down

[@Theauthenticationguru]

Incorrect. Nike authenticates only for legal purposes. They state this on their website in respect to counterfeit products.

[@DaNewWaveLee]

@@Theauthenticationguru that doesn’t mean my statement is incorrect.

[@Theauthenticationguru]

@ you deliberately stated “Nike is unable to authenticate their own shoes”.

[@DaNewWaveLee]

@@Theauthenticationguru because they sold fakes to customers through the refurbished program. Maybe they did not mean to but it happened.

[@marcom.4753]

why so bios? Stock x being the biggest and getting sued doesnt mean other sites have a higher ratio spotting fakes.

[@retailpapi]

This wasn’t that at all you listed to what you wanted

[@donaldhodge6549]

At this point, you can get a fake from retail. I know shady managers that swap the fakes for the real pairs on hyped releases. At this point, the fakes are too good to pay above retail.

[@Mac_DNH]

You're lying

[@Gregory-of9lo]

X thinks it's funny, till their Caps gets peeled bac

[@vincenttyler4667]

Its about 2 go back 2 how it used 2 be. People ain't spending all that money and fee's for fakes or the possibility of fakes. Retail already 2 high.

[@chrisagee4272]

The fakes are so good why spend the extra bread ?

[@retailpapi]

Because you can’t sell them after you’re done with them and they don’t hold up as good

[@jdorerosehair267]

I haven’t purchased from StockX in over 5 years and this is why but at this point I’m don’t with ALL of them so bye GOAT, EBAY, resellers, I’M GOOD on all them. I’m retail or nothing 🤷🏾‍♀️ th

[@retailpapi]

Retail gang!!!

[@josephchisenwa7138]

Only a mad man would continue buying from Stock X

[@solideroftheapocalypse4955]

Yes let the resellers crumble...this will make the shoe market back lower

[@uwasntthere4593]

As much as Nike and all these other shoe companies press people like kool kiy and everybody else selling “fake shoes” they need to be on stock x head the same way. We also need to stop the insane aftermarket buying on StockX at this point if u don’t do not get the shoe from all these outlets that we currently have to get shoes just take the l and move on. We kept stock x in business so now they just don’t mind raw dogging people for their money

[@retailpapi]

What do you think will happen next? They go out of business or different outcome?

[@uwasntthere4593]

Honestly not too sure because this isn’t the first time nonsense has happened with them. I know people that have had legit shoes they just didn’t want because they would never wear em stock x wouldn’t authenticate said they were not real. These were shoes straight from Nike. SNKRS. Footlockers champs etc. so it’s crazy and you see the people “not to judge” checking the shoes for stock x they have no Knowledge of shoes and it’s just like man smh as long as people keep buying paying crazy prices they will keep doing the community dirty

[@ohfr20]

Tbh idc unless it’s a crazy fake

[@jlx9306]

I believe not every shoe they sell is fakes mostly the shoes that everyone wants like example off whites, Travis Scott’s like the well known ones but that’s my opinion my when KZbinrs make videos on early releases usually are from goat some stock x I tend to watch ones from goat given you don’t hear much from them especially as a lawsuit I for one haven’t bought anything from stock x in like years but seeing this saddens me since kid out here but from them now knowing 95% might be fakes is heartbreaking I think people should be really careful from now on when buying from stock x

[@retailpapi]

Of course, not all of them are fake, but like I said in a video, there is actual people making millions of dollars off of selling fake shoes and passing them through as well. Somebody on the inside can easily be in this business.

[@jlx9306]

@ oh yea definitely but also the fact fakes are getting better and better it’s also that factor counts and usually I hear they have better quality then the legit pairs so that’s also some people can account for but like you said I won’t be surprised if it’s a business in secret

[@retailpapi]

Only time will tell

[@peewee3030]

We've been knowing they sell fakes. That y I don't buy from them

[@retailpapi]

😂😂😂

[@vincenttyler4667]

I use flight club if I must but honestly I trying 2 be part of the retail papi club from here on out.

[@Theauthenticationguru]

StockX didn’t admit to selling fakes purposely. They already provided a rebuttal to Nike’s statement from the court documents.

[@plentyhardaway]

Point em out. Who our favorite youtuber? 👀

[@retailpapi]

😂😂😂😂

[@CurtisWebbsr]

I stopped buying from all resell platforms i have had bad luck on every platform I feel like this will have a chain reaction and it will affect all resell platforms with major changes happening if you can't get them for retail just wait for the next sneaker to release

[@retailpapi]

Only time will tell

[@Richard-Reloaded]

Ive only bought one pair of sneakers from stock x which is the kai 1s. And i know they dont nake fakes of those.

[@retailpapi]

Some shoes you just know real but some if the hot ones is in the air!!!

Canal Street has the best fakes. Stock x has more variety of fakes.
