Legit Checks

Other than the weird sole, I don't see much difference. I'm not that familiar with ann stuff though. And I assume by "refurbish", he means cleaned/treated/relaced, etc.

Could anyone give me some insight on these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/RICK-OWENS-S...ht_4303wt_1378 I have the ivory pair from '09 and the most recent black whites but I'm curious if the staples were still being done by RO in SS10. Please let me know what you think. appreciate it

First and foremost the overall shape is a bit off.

2. The logo
3. Different soles
4. Different laces
5. Leather texture

I can't believe people still fall for those, it's like they've never seen Ann sneaks before.

Why? The first Ann sneakers I have ever bought were online, and yes I had never seen Ann sneaks before that. It's very easy to fall for fakes, that's the entire purpose of them after all, to fake?

Actually the most obvious thing that points this item out to being a fake is that there is only one zipper (and the tongue is padded). Ann sneaks have two zips (one on the left and one of the right side of the shoe) and the tongue is a thin piece of suede. Like this.

The quickest, easiest way to spot fake Ann shoes is the stems in the letter "E" of Demeulemeester. The real logo has the stems angled up a bit. The fake label has typical, perpendicular 'E' stems

For me, the instant giveaway is the actual shoe shape. It's way too bulbous on the toe, and the horizontal panels are protruding. It's almost like they're inflated.

I like "christianef"'s method of seeking out fakes.

Basically, anything you find on ioffer is a fake, so if it's a great place to check for fake versions and what to watch out for.

3 items from stag that I own have the same print as yours, should be legit.

anybody knows if the user deepsix on sufu is legit with his lost and found sales threads?

I would like to know this too, he has an apparently good stock (or orders?) and good prices

[cowsareforeating]

lane says hes a piece of shit..

[beardown]

Apparently he was banned from sufu at least once and keeps coming back under a different member name. That should tell you something. He's trying to run a store selling goods he doesn't have yet by using sufu as his main advertising source, for which he doesn't pay.
Apparently he also had some orders cancelled the last time he was doing this so I'll just say this: Buyer beware. And if you get ripped off, please don't come to SZ and complain about how you got ripped off by the guy who was banned from sufu who sold you a bill of goods.

Thanks for the advice guys, in this case that is enough for me, I prefer to avoid problems.
