I'm starting to think that this was a front for a criminal enterprise. It kind of makes sense, they could claim they sold way more shoes than they actually did, and these kicks are stupid expensive. Now, they're getting out of dodge... shady as fuck haha.

Anticlimactic Update! Went back to the shop like y'all asked. And the door was closed and locked. As I was walking away there was this heavy set black dude kinda mean muggin me at the shop next door as I walked past. That dude walks out a minute later goes into kolorblind, he didn't look down to talk and seeing as how I live here don't wanna start shit. Have a feeling he may have seen me earlier.

Maybe another redditor can stop by and inquire.

[–]yooossshhii 38ポイント39ポイント  (6子コメント)

You don't have to confront him over selling fakes, you can just ask if they're open cause you wanted to look at what they have for sale. Just like a normal consumer would.

[–]ra1nnn 30ポイント31ポイント  (5子コメント)

Honestly a normal customer to them would be a sneakerhead. They're just trying to avoid any contact at this point.

[–]yooossshhii 15ポイント16ポイント  (4子コメント)

Which is fine, I'm just saying there's no reason to be scared to ask what's going on. You'd probably just get a generic answer back, we're moving/closing/remodeling, etc. The 'heavy set black dude' isn't gonna flash on you for asking a general question.

Talk about "Streisand Effect".. I'm from SD and never heard of them. Now in less than 24 hours they've been blackedball by the entire Sneaker community.

Scary how your business can turn into dust just like that once the internet gets wind, but this situation was completely avoidable by:

  1. Full refund on the spot
  2. Being transparent about it on social media
  3. Give the kid store credit on top of the cash
  4. Have a better authenticity check before selling the kicks.

[–]frugskie 51ポイント52ポイント  (3子コメント)

No need to give the kid more credit on top of the refund lol

[–]ForeverInaDaze [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Also don't need to be transparent about it on social media.

If they give him a full refund on the spot, they apologize to him and keep it under wraps so the public isn't aware they let a pair of fakes slip past.

It's not about the money at this point. Even if they refund the dude, their credibility is shot and all their social media presence that they've been building is pretty much destroyed. No one's going to want to shop at a place that sells known fakes.

[–]NananaBedman 14ポイント15ポイント  (1子コメント)

Because they're so stupid and shady about it. Maybe full refund the kid in the first place and apologize about it on social media about how it was a new trainee that did the legit check ETC..? The whole saga could have been avoided if they play it fair and square. But nooooo, we're gonna give you $1000 in store credit and delete that instagram picture we posted earlier.

Hope they bankrupt.

[–]BoringPersonAMA [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Nah, the sneaker community doesn't forget something like this. Above and beyond the fact that they didn't give the dude his money back, the fact that they sold fakes and passed them as real is what would kill them. You can't come back from that.

This is exactly like some shit that went down in my town (Richmond, VA). Local sneaker consignment shop called Wavykickz scammed a bunch of customers out of website sales. Closed up shop for a few weeks, then reopened and did the same thing again. Closed up again for good. Place just went up for sale this week. Sad shit because when I first moved here the shop was cool and legit, then some shady guy came in and bought the place from the previous owner in cash, and it immediately went downhill.

[–]Kire_L 13ポイント14ポイント  (23子コメント)

As somebody who knows an owner of a shoe consignment store from the city I'm from, this hurts. It's really hard to open brick and mortar stores of a very niche hobby, shit like comic book stores barely break even nowadays and their main goal is to build a trust with usually groups of customers so they provide a service that you can fulfill so you won't need to turn to eBay or other consignment shops. This sucks since the money to open up these shops is really hard to get together especially from banks.

[–]turbospartan 21ポイント22ポイント  (1子コメント)

It does suck, but looking back... they probably should've just eaten the $1700 "loss" (of which, some of that was profit anyway) instead of the PR nightmare of reddit / NT / sneakernews / blogs / etc all picking up on the story, and ruining your reputation and business.

[–]Kire_L 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Honestly yeah I would've just dealt with it that way from a business owner's standpoint since the good chunk of the stores consumers are teens and easily have access to the internet and ANY damage to the reputation via social media is incredibly terrible. As a sneakerhead who has spent a great deal of money into this hobby it's sad this had to have happened to the owner of Kolorblind but sometimes you just have to take a loss.

[–]Sir_Auron 8ポイント9ポイント  (2子コメント)

There's only one of these stores in my area and it has

  1. A shit selection
  2. Shitty hours
  3. Way overpriced

Sneaker stores are dead, the Internet killed them. This particular proprietor straight up told me that he mostly ordered shit from Flight Club by request, meaning he threw a 20% up charge on top of another store doing the same thing. Why would I pay anyone to do something as simple as shopping online?

[–]Kire_L 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Your store sucks man. Maybe I'm bias since I'm close to owners and know their business model since they're not in it for maximum profit but just two sneaker head brothers selling shoes.

Honestly that's the thing, sneaker shopping isn't a simple thing anymore especially in a time with advanced fakes as well as bots cooking pairs. I go to a consignment shop with other sneakerheads and hope to purchase a genuine item I can hold and see if it has any flaws. Which is something ebay or flight club can't do for me since it's a stock image most of the time. Maybe it's because I'm not buying a GR but rather something rare such as DB 9s ($800-1000) or something like Adidas Jeremy Scott Black Flags ($600-700) I'm going to want to be able to hold and see the shoe for flaws and not just click checkout on a computer screen.

[–]turbospartan 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why would I pay anyone to do something as simple as shopping online?

Not you, but there are a lot of stupid people out there.

I regularly see people buying shoes at my local consignment shops for more than the shoes are going for on StockX / GOAT. People always listing items on Craigslist for way over "market" value, etc.

[–]gingrawr 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

Kinda funny you mention comic book stores. Theres a small comic book store in my town and it has paintings of super heros all over it. One of the residents of a nearby building tried to get the stores to paint over a mural of the hulk smashing though the wall. The store won and is the only store in this part of the state. Everyone who wants comics goes to it.

[–]yooossshhii 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

Your story reads very strangely as if not painting over the mural is the reason it's the only store in that part of the state.

[–]JonasBrosSuck 2ポイント3ポイント  (11子コメント)

since it's a consignment store does that mean the owner could have bought the shoes without knowing and then sold it?

[–]ming212209 11ポイント12ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's still their responsibility to make sure they aren't selling a fake though and give the kid a damn refund once they figured out that they were.

[–]JonasBrosSuck 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

yeah for sure, not defending the owner here but still feel kinda bad for them after the mod hit the yelp page with their popcorn..

[–]titos334 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

It's really weird for a consignment shop though. Normally the shop doesnt own the product. If it really was a consignment shoe he shoulda given the guy a full refund and thrown the fakes at whoever tried scamming the shop.

[–]becoolbasf 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

owner and employees of consignment stores should know fakes from real ones. they handle shoes 24/7 just like how bank tellers works with cash and can tell the difference between fake and real bills. with shoes, there's obviously diff steps that are involved but nonetheless, still shady for them to be doing this. in the end, they're done. bye b.

[–]sbvu 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

100% agree. Shoes=is theirs profit... Not sure how fakes got through specially 350s... That's why reputable shops like Mag Park (Burbank) have 2 or sometimes 3 people verify shoes.

[–]turbospartan 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yes. That is probably most likely to be what happened, as I doubt this shop was trying to "sneak" a fake through without anyone noticing. The still had the for sale pic on their IG earlier today, which is a fake. They probably wouldn't have posted the pic, if they KNEW they were fake.

It does suck for the owner, especially if the bought them from the original seller for $1k+ .... but, he didn't do his due diligence in legit checking them, IMO.

[–]JonasBrosSuck 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

def not defending the owner but if that's what happened then i feel kinda bad for the owner(it'd still be the store's fault though)

[–]ShimmyShimmyYes 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Exactly, the owner of a watch shop will know the difference between a fake and real Rolex. The burden of proof rests with the storefront to ensure they are buying and selling legit shoes, especially if they're advertising them as legit.

[–]Kire_L 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Possibly, they could've ordered in bulk or bought from a seller and unknowingly got sold fakes, but even then most consignment stores should be knowledgeable of what they're selling especially the owners as well as the managers.

[–]jesuschin 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah but even if you get a bulk sale the first thing you do is LC the high end ones

[–]Kire_L 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Exactly. I'm not defending Kolorblind, but it sucks they either saw it as an oversight to not LC the Yeezys, or simply sold the guy Yeezys knowingly they were fake.

I'm sure they wouldn't even bother trying to stop a person at this point with all the backlash they got. They're not going to make it because an average person won't pay those prices for marked up sneakers and sneaker heads know they aren't reputable so they won't bother buying fake shit from them

[–]6foot5Asian 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Damn Mathias wrecked them

[–]Sammichface [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

I'm kind of confused about this whole thing.

If this store actually sold counterfeit shoes, that's bullshit and they should be held accountable.

At the same time, I just read an article where Kolorblind explains their side of it and it leaves me with questions.

Why did it take the kid who bought the shoes, 38 days to question and check their authenticity?

I get that he cleaned them and the colors ran and that's what made him suspicious and all that but if I was going to spend $1,700 on shoes and I knew those shoes were regularly being faked and copied, I would have been checking shit while I was in the store. I would have made sure they were legit, before I even handed the cashier my card. So, why 38 days? Was he just too trusting of the store?

What if Kolorblind really, legitimately had no idea that those shoes weren't authentic? Can you really blame them for not giving a full refund on shoes that easily could have been switched by the customer? 38 days is a long time. 38 days gives someone time to order some fakes online for cheap, have them delivered and take them to Kolorblind to try and get their $1,700 hustle on. I can't really blame the company for being cautious about this situation.

So... what if Kolorblind had no idea the shoes were fake? I guess it doesn't really matter now, does it?

Edit: I agree with some of the other comments about the store being better about checking the authenticity of the products they sell. They need to do the same research I mentioned above. There should have been no doubt in the quality of their inventory. So... Why is everyone automatically on the customer's side?

My point is, people lie. The kid might be lying. The store might be shady. We don't know. Now the store is possibly out of of business and no one knows who's side is right. That's all I'm trying to say.

[–]AbsoluteScott [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

The thing is that literally the entire POINT of these shops is that it is supposed to be a worry-free experience. That's why the customer pays the extra money over eBay. I would do a LC myself, but to say it's the buyer's responsibility when that is literally what they are paying the store to do is like saying it's my responsibility to make sure the straight razor I bought at an antique shop is actually an antique. It's not. That is literally the store's entire reason for existing.

As for the presumed guilt, they have themselves to thank. If they thought the shoes they sold were legit, I cannot fathom any reason whatsoever why they'd erase photos of said shoes from their social media. If anything, they'd be reposting the fuck out of those photos if the shoes they sold were real.

[–]Sammichface [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

You have a valid point about the photo being deleted. That makes them look guilty. You're right.

[–]idlephase [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Kolorblind's explanation fails to address why they deleted their instagram photos of the shoes in question plus the one with the buyer and the shoe.

If there is a question of whether the buyer swapped the shoes, the photographs should indicate that 1. they stocked legit Yeezys and 2. the buyer walked away with legit Yeezys. If Kolorblind legitimately had no idea that the shoes were fakes, they shouldn't be in the business of reselling or consigning high-value shoes.

If the buyer was trying to run a scam, taking the $1000 in store credit is a win, and the story would be over.

[–]Sammichface [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I'm being sincere when I ask this question. Is it obvious in the deleted photo that the shoe he's holding is fake?

Can you see the details necessary to tell? I'm not trying to be a smart ass. I really am curious. The shoe is so small in the picture.

[–]turbospartan [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

It doesn't matter if the store didn't know they were fake or not, its on them to provide the customer with authentic product. While the timing potentially gives the opportunity for the bait and switch, who knows if this kid wouldn't have still been wearing that pair if he never cleaned them.

Additionally, there is a pic from their Instagram listing the TD's for sale, and they are fake. The customer doesn't get caught holding the bag, if the store wants to maintain a good reputation

[–]lightcourse [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

I'm not saying the guy scammed the store, but people here are forgetting that sellers can be scammed too, and ruining their reputation through social media is one way to blackmail. I've seen people ruin well established wedding photographers & their livelihoods through social media claiming bogus shit just because the photographer didn't give in to demands outside of their contract.

There was no proof from either side, and the person who got scammed had a 3 month old account with barely any posts, but the internet mob decided to go into destroy mode anyways.

[–]Sammichface [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Yes! That's exactly the point I'm trying to make.

I'm not sure who's right but we can't immediately assume who's wrong. People lie.

I want to make this clear on my opinion: I believe Kolorblind is in the wrong in this whole issue especially how they handled the situation.

With that said sneakernews posted an update with a response from kolorblind earlier.

http://sneakernews.com/2016/10/25/kolorblind-fake-yeezy-story-reddit/

This statement made some sense as to why they wouldn't do the full refund but the fact they would even offer $1000 in store credit doesnt do them a favor either.

Now im seeing this posted? this is damning evidence. I may not be a sneakerhead but I follow the community and consignment stores like this live and breath from the reputation.

But the fact remains, this is simply bad buisness ethics, doing something like this does nothing more than further cements that you cannot trust what they say.

  1. you dont delete posts that prove the source of "shoes"
  2. you dont ban user who has issue
  3. you make an statement stating you will be issuing a formal statement
  4. you sure as shit dont close shop
  5. you close down for a few days to validate the legitimacy of the shoes in question and your stock
  6. shoes can be validated as legitimate and refunds offered as long as shoes can be proven as non-b&S.
  7. reputation can be regained if you push through it instead of run away from it.

Has anyone legit checked the shoe the guy got there that was posted on their Instagram? I'd feel absolutely terrible if this was just a bogus witch hunt.

I know a lot of people said hey look fake but do we have any evidence? To me every pair of turtle doves looks fake because I see them fake more often than not.

I believe he came here first for a legit check and then went back to the store after Reddit told him how fake they were.
