one year ago I sold a fake pair of
sneakers on stockx they failed
authentication and thousands of people
asked me to do it again they said if I
used a different sneaker something less
expensive less rare maybe a better fake
they would have passed and after months
of consideration it's time
this is the stockx experiment again
I already explained what stockx is in
the first video so to save time I'm not
going to do it again if you're
unfamiliar definitely check out that
first video it's annotated up here okay
I'm going to give you three seconds to
click the link two one all right finding
the right shoes is the most important
part of this entire thing given that
seemingly everyone wanted me to do it
with a pair of Yeezy 350s that was the
logical place to start so I went to
Canal Street home of people who sell
fake things unfortunately their fakes
were bad terrible if I'm honest so I
went somewhere else Instagram I get
probably two or three messages every
week from companies that sell fake shoes
and want free promotion on my YouTube
channel ninety percent of the time I
just block them but given that I was
looking for a pair of fake shoes this
was a perfect opportunity so I had one
of them send me a pair of Yeezy 350s and
like a month and a half later I got a
black package
they didn't double box which meant the
shoebox itself arrived in pretty rough
shape a cardinal sin among sneaker
enthusiasts
so even if the fakes were good enough to
pass stockx authentication they probably
would have been denied for having a bad
box I searched high and low for another
pair of Yeezy 350s but everyone I found
had problems like boxes made out of the
wrong cardboard or paper that was too
shiny or they were missing accessories I
got fed up with trying to find a parrot
that I thought was actually good enough
to pass authentication and opted for
Plan B Jordan Ones as a silhouette
that's been around for much longer than
the Yeezy 350 fake manufacturers have
had quite a bit more time to perfect
their designs after scrolling reddit's
fake sneaker forums for hours I finally
found what was allegedly the best pair
of fakes
so 155 dollars to another random PayPal
account and eight days of twiddling my
thumbs later
I had the sneakers
personally I think that these are really
good I mean the leather quality is there
the stitching is all nice you got a
little Fray on the corner but I mean it
seems like they're good so I went over
to stockx and as always sold them to
myself so that no one else would end up
with The Fakes should they pass after
boxing them up waiting again and then
waiting some more we had an answer just
got out of the shower and uh
found some unfortunate news
the Jordan 1 Shadows have failed
authentication am I surprised that a
billion dollar company like stockx
succeeded in doing literally the only
thing that they claimed to do
no
am I disappointed absolutely
I tried sending in fakes twice now and
both times they'd been rejected
but I knew fakes could get through I'd
seen it all over the internet and
everything on the internet is true I'm
gonna give this one more shot
but if it fails
I'm not doing it again
one of these shoes is real one of them
is fake which one is which
can you can you see any difference
[Music]
these are good fakes like really
really good fakes holy I've never
seen fakes like this I keep like looking
at stuff and like dang that looks janky
as and then I look at this one and
I got it too what do you see I'm not
gonna tell you what I see well who gives
a you gotta tell for the video
I will stay a secret
forever yo I don't think you see
anything
if you were to guess which one would you
say is real
[Music]
are these the faith real quick would you
guys say that these stockings will fly
you think you think they're gonna pass
everyone thinks they're gonna pass
this is the real box this is the fake
one the labels other than being a
different size were identical they both
had the same box stamp matter of fact
the boxes were exactly the same these
are unbelievably good like even the real
pair has a little defect right there the
fake pair doesn't have that these are
ridiculous the Nike tag it's a fake tag
real tag
okay if we're talking leather comparison
they're both the same level of cardboard
nasty fake leather I mean it's it's a
cheap pair of dunks they're 100 bucks
like Nike is not giving you anything
special here the souls totally the same
these shoes are without a doubt the best
fakes I've ever seen and if there is
anything wrong with them it was in
almost irrelevant details okay the paper
is slightly different it's a slightly
different shade the real one has this
little sticker
and the fake one does not the stitching
on the fake is like ever so slightly
frayed anyone who complained in the last
video that I didn't get a pair of shoes
that was a good enough fake
I think we fixed that so feeling hopeful
I created yet another new stockx account
last video and I said it about two
minutes ago but I'm not actually selling
these fakes to any random person on
stockx I'm selling them to myself
because I've created a second account
that has placed a bid and then the first
account is accepting that bid there is
no possible way anyone other than me
could get these shoes and to prove it to
you I put a sticker inside the box I'm
gonna open up this flap
put that sticker right there
this is my podcast I've linked it in the
description
seriously go check it out it's pretty
good and there's already over 25
episodes on everything from how to visit
North Korea to how I dropped out of
school in eighth grade if you need
another reason to listen we got a
28-foot billboard
no one would ever know
off to stockx
[Music]
got my box and I'm on the way fake
shoe's gonna pass docx this time no
no what about you what do you think
Winnie I bought them they would pass
I'm perfectly honest
I wasn't really sure what was gonna
happen
I mean I do now because I'm editing and
this is the voiceover but at the time
I really didn't have any idea
if you look closely you can actually see
me thinking these very things will
inside the UPS Store
all right now we wait
[Music]
they did not pass Authentication
how I don't know I mean I tried
everything that everyone wanted me to do
and we still didn't succeed so
um
I guess the moral of the story is
stockx's authentication is a hell of a
lot better than anyone gives them credit
for are there fakes that go through
yeah I'm sure it happens
but
I think stockx has shown that they are
pretty good so maybe I'll do
eBay next I have real gripe with eBay so
this will be a fun one I don't know when
that video is going to come out but I've
spent uh I've spent a lot of money and
time making this one so if you enjoyed
