To read our article on the new breed of replicas, see link below https://housakicks.com/business/sales-are-booming-on-ebay-with-a-new-breed-of-nike-jordan-replicas-air-kiy-fugazi-ineverheardofyou/ The Trophy Room Air Jordan 1 is officially set to release on February the 10th and retails for $170. There are supposedly only 12,000 pairs made, and we all know what this means- the shoe is going to be extremely hard to get. Not only that but the counterfeit industry is going to target it as well. As a matter of fact early pairs are already circulating and i'm confident that most the ones features on sneaker blogs and youtube are probably replicas. Is there a way to identify the fake pairs? That's what i'm going to be covering in the video

hey what's going on guys this is thaiba
0:01
house of kicks.com
0:03
and today we're going to talk about a
0:04
trophy room on one
0:06
the shoe is coming out on again next
0:08
month february on the 10th
0:10
and it's going to cost about 170 and
0:13
it's only 12
0:14
000 pairs that were made so you already
0:16
know people are
0:18
really gonna wanna jump on this shoe and
0:20
rightfully so because it's gonna be good
0:22
for resale purposes and it's just one of
0:24
those shoes that is limited
0:25
so a lot of people want it so i guess
0:27
i've seen a lot of like
0:29
youtube guys and sneaker blogs with
0:31
early parents
0:32
and it's like you wonder are those like
0:34
authentic and that's the question that's
0:36
a million dollar question because i try
0:38
to find
0:39
like legitimate uh pictures and i can't
0:42
find any just yet like even this one
0:44
that i see here i don't think it's a
0:45
legitimate
0:46
uh shoe i think it's a it's a it's a
0:48
fake one
0:50
which i mean i don't care much i just
0:52
wanted you to have like
0:53
access to like authentic uh authentic
0:55
pairs so i can do my side by side
0:57
comparison
0:58
because when you look especially if i
1:00
look when i looked at this um
1:02
uh there's a target here like it doesn't
1:05
it's supposed to be numbered and in here
1:07
it says like february 10
1:09
1985 which is a dead giveaway i think
1:11
but if you look through it
1:13
there's like pictures and pictures of
1:15
the pictures of people
1:16
racking the shoe and not don't think
1:19
this is authentic
1:20
okay so i'm looking at it right now
1:23
and i don't think it's authentic i don't
1:25
want to waste your time but
1:26
the thing is it's good for us to be
1:28
aware of it
1:29
okay and i went on uh youtube on ebay
1:34
and i also saw that there's some guys
1:35
selling it now the good thing about ebay
1:37
is this like this
1:38
there's this authenticity guaranteed so
1:40
that means you're not gonna
1:41
you're not gonna lose your money and if
1:43
you if somebody sells it to you and it's
1:45
fake
1:45
then you'll be able to get your money
1:47
back and i also went on stockx
1:49
and there is no sales recorded so that
1:51
means nobody really have
1:53
the shoe on hand just yet and the places
1:55
the place to go to really
1:57
uh check this out is trophy room so i
1:59
want a trophy room
2:00
website to try and gather some
2:03
information he has
2:04
no information there on the show
2:06
whatsoever so you don't know when the
2:07
shoe is coming out
2:09
beside what those sneaker blogs are
2:10
saying there is no indication on to what
2:12
the shoe looks like so we don't really
2:14
have access to it
2:15
to to authentic uh legitimate pairs i
2:18
want a nike website that is nothing so
2:20
what do you do
2:21
so basically when i went on ebay i found
2:24
three sellers that are carrying the
2:25
shoes so what i did was
2:27
i looked on each one you know this guy
2:29
has five feedback
2:30
so i'm most likely thinking he's selling
2:33
fakes
2:34
because when i look at it he doesn't
2:36
even have
2:37
pictures and this the shoe that he has
2:39
on here
2:40
matches up with the fake one that i've
2:41
seen on on this uh asian website
2:44
okay and then i look at the next one
2:48
he doesn't even have the shoe on hand
2:49
he's promising that he'll be able to get
2:51
it
2:52
once they come out so that's his promise
2:54
and then the last one was from cool shoe
2:56
shine a cool shoe shine has been on ebay
2:58
for
2:58
a long time and his feedback is like 51
3:01
000
3:02
and some change so he's selling this
3:04
for thirteen thousand dollars
3:05
so i'm thinking you're not gonna wanna
3:07
sell this shoe and put your reputation
3:09
on the line
3:11
so basically i'm sure he has access to
3:13
an authentic prayer but the funny thing
3:14
is this he says without
3:16
so that means this is the box that he
3:18
shows so that means there is some kind
3:20
of shitty thing going on here i'm not
3:21
throwing on the gap on the guy
3:22
but i'm saying
3:24
he he probably has an authentic pair on
3:26
hand
3:27
but he doesn't have the full package
3:30
which means it was
3:31
received through some kind of a
3:35
uh gray area there's a gray area here
3:38
and i don't want to get into it too much
3:40
but i'm sure he's selling an authentic
3:41
pair okay so basically what i did was i
3:44
want to show you the fake ones that
3:45
everybody's selling on
3:47
on youtube and everybody has on youtube
3:48
this is the fake one and this is from
3:50
this probably
3:51
they probably got it from these guys and
3:53
then they have like tons of pictures
3:55
look this is the fake one
3:57
they look great i mean hey look
4:00
they look awesome man crazy i'm just
4:04
gonna go through some of the pictures
4:06
and the ironic thing is this he has one
4:09
of twelve thousand basically he has the
4:10
first pair that was made
4:12
so each pair of these shoes like unique
4:14
so this is funny that they have like one
4:16
of twelve thousand which is funny
4:18
so this is the fake one so now how do
4:21
you
4:21
authenticate the shoe if you don't have
4:23
the authentic pair on hand how do you do
4:25
it
4:25
so basically i'm gonna just use logic
4:27
here a little bit okay i'm gonna use
4:29
some kind of logical
4:30
um argument here to kind of show you
4:32
what i did
4:33
and let me get to that so we don't have
4:36
an authentic pair so what do we do
4:37
the way i did it was this i went and i
4:39
just looked at some of the areas i can
4:41
look for
4:42
okay i'm assuming that cool shoe shine
4:44
is selling on
4:45
an authentic pair okay since he's
4:47
selling an authentic we're gonna use
4:48
these pictures to try to be
4:50
and that's gonna be our backdrop but i'm
4:52
not actually gonna look at the pictures
4:54
because it's useless
4:55
it's hard to tell with these pictures
4:56
i'm just going to look at some
4:58
some strong indicators which is this the
5:00
inside tag
5:01
and the inside um label so what i did
5:04
was i when i pinned this
5:06
against the fake one that i saw okay if
5:08
you look at the tag inside
5:10
this is a cool shoe shine and i say
5:11
assumed real because i don't know
5:13
i'm assuming he's selling the real one
5:14
because he won't put his reputation on
5:16
the line
5:17
okay so if you look the style of the
5:21
letters here and the study is totally
5:23
just not the same
5:24
you can look and it's just the contrast
5:26
is clear it hits your eyes
5:28
and if you look at the gap between the
5:29
made in china and this
5:31
the first set of threads the gap is much
5:34
smaller on the authentic
5:36
and the fake one has a much bigger gap
5:38
here and you see here that this is
5:40
crooked it's not properly
5:41
lined it's not called linear you can see
5:43
that the stitches here is like kind of
5:45
leaning
5:45
up and if you look at the writing here
5:48
the
5:48
12 000 and the font and just the style
5:51
is not the
5:52
same and if you look at the gap between
5:53
the 12 000 and the bottom of the
5:55
the top here there's a bigger gap on
5:57
your authenticator again
5:58
this is all it's not relative because
6:00
you can kind of see it right here it
6:02
shows you
6:03
you see the differences like look at it
6:05
made in china
6:06
this is like the white used here it's
6:08
not it's not it's like a pure snow white
6:10
this is like off-white you can see the
6:12
contrast between this one and this one
6:14
here
6:14
and the lettering the stitching a little
6:16
bit of difference there
6:18
but definitely the top okay uh
6:21
you see the the the length they got
6:23
between the uh the 12
6:24
000 and this this right in here the
6:26
bottom of the bottom edge of the type is
6:28
is the gap is bigger on their tank and
6:31
just a lot of things that they got
6:32
between the fabric
6:33
in china they made in china and this
6:35
first set of threads again there's a lot
6:37
of things here that i see
6:38
okay i'm not gonna talk too much about
6:41
the shoe because i don't have it but
6:42
this
6:42
are the strong indicators again i'm
6:44
assuming cool shoe shine is selling the
6:47
authentic prayer
6:48
if it's not then you might as well just
6:50
shut this up because this is a waste of
6:51
time
6:52
but i'm assuming he's not going to put
6:53
his reputation on the line like that
6:55
he's not going to do that okay
6:56
and then the next thing is the inside
6:59
again
7:00
if you look uh on the authentic which
7:02
i'm assuming
7:03
from course to shine you can see that
7:05
the
7:06
this layer here is covering the jumpman
7:09
and xc
7:10
and the size this is a size nine and a
7:12
half uk eight and a half
7:14
and this is the size eight and a half
7:16
and uk seven half you can see you can
7:18
kind of clearly see the the jump in here
7:20
on the fake one on the authentic is this
7:22
layer is there it's kind of covering it
7:24
over
7:24
and if you look at the writing again the
7:26
lettering and the writing
7:28
much bolder on there on the fake pair
7:30
here it's kind of like a little blurry
7:32
but you can kind of see see that
7:33
recognize the contrast and if you look
7:35
at
7:36
the writing here i mean the date is the
7:37
same they got the date right
7:39
but it's just uh the font is not the
7:42
same between the two pairs okay this is
7:44
where i put the arrow here
7:45
but again this is going to be a hard one
7:47
again i'm just basing this on
7:50
the assumption that who shine has an
7:52
authentic pair okay
7:53
other than that i'm just talking
7:55
nonsense just like everybody else
7:57
because i don't have a shoe on hand to
7:59
tell you this is a fake this is real
8:01
but if you look at the uh the fake one
8:03
man
8:04
they look like i mean i mean it's just
8:07
crazy
8:08
and yeah do i blame somebody and most of
8:10
the tricks that i've seen most of the
8:12
guys that are on youtube
8:13
they have this box and some i have like
8:16
some have like a different box but
8:17
there's no telling i don't know what the
8:18
authentic pair looked like so i'm not
8:20
going to say anything i'm just going to
8:21
show you what i
8:22
came up with and hopefully that will
8:24
help you out up
8:25
that will help you guys out because i
8:27
don't know what to do
8:28
i'm just like you i know for sure that
8:30
this shoe is gonna sell for like
8:32
probably four five twelve thousand
8:35
dollars even more
8:36
because it's limited and everybody wants
8:38
it so it's gonna be a hard one to
8:40
to get back to get but it's gonna be one
8:42
that's gonna be bootlegged
8:44
like crazy and talking about bootleg i
8:46
wanted to show you a couple of things
8:47
here
8:48
i wrote an article and i was like a
8:51
couple of days ago
8:52
a few no no last week and i talked about
8:54
this new set of bootlegs that are on the
8:56
market they're actually
8:57
not really fake shoes because the guys
9:00
are pretty much
9:01
creating uh the jordan 1 silhouette and
9:04
just replacing the logos with their own
9:07
logos this is the erika
9:09
dude did a great job even has like uh
9:11
the airplane there to show
9:13
and the jordan uh the legs the jump so
9:16
the jumpman his own
9:17
main legs there with the logo
9:20
it looks like a lightning bolt and he's
9:23
pretty much doing the black toe one
9:25
and abs and he's so like incredible like
9:28
i when i did my numbers here
9:30
he sold several pairs like let me see
9:33
how many he sold about uh when i did my
9:36
numbers
9:37
he sold 106 pairs within the month and a
9:40
half
9:41
and the re the retail price on the shoe
9:43
is 190 which is more than the jordan one
9:46
and the markup was like 40 to 120
9:49
percent he was making the profit on the
9:51
resale on his like 80
9:52
250 which is crazy i've never seen that
9:54
before now this one i kind of didn't
9:56
like that much because he has like uh
9:58
this is vulgar okay you're not gonna
10:00
just this i didn't like the fact that he
10:02
did that this is this is just stuff that
10:04
you don't do
10:04
i don't quite agree with his brain and
10:06
the logo i don't like it because it's
10:08
just vulgar okay
10:09
i'm not gonna buy this for my kid for
10:11
you to walk around with
10:13
um putting your one of those dirty
10:15
fingers up that's just not right
10:17
but he did sell a lot of shoes which
10:19
means he's basically
10:21
um he's basically just standing standing
10:24
up against
10:24
the corporate okay this is what they're
10:26
doing and the last one the
10:28
one in the chamber the fugazis that's
10:30
also i don't quite like this
10:32
logo it's kind of cheesy i just don't
10:34
like it i can't i like this a little bit
10:36
here but as far as i'm concerned i'm not
10:37
too but he's solo at 326
10:40
which is incredible and again the markup
10:42
on is crazy
10:43
you know and then the thing is this like
10:45
why are they getting away with it
10:48
because bootlegs are not accepted you
10:51
know you
10:51
you no longer get excommunicated and the
10:54
thing is this like nike has been getting
10:56
away with murder for a long time
10:57
okay they nike makes shoes and it's hard
11:00
for people to get it so people are
11:02
getting tired of it okay if i can create
11:03
my own brand why not if i can use the
11:05
silhouette that is working
11:06
why not make it say that's what they've
11:08
done and it's working
11:09
i mean this guy made like 22 or seven
11:12
pairs and he sold out even has like the
11:14
audacity to put the goddamn here to
11:16
just kind of like say nike anything you
11:18
do i can also do
11:20
so that is crazy but uh if you want to
11:22
read the entire article i'm going to
11:24
invite you to to go on the website and
11:25

11:26
