I Sold Fake Sneakers on Stockx (AGAIN) and this is What Happened

- If you have ever bought or sold a pair of limited sneakers you've probably heard of StockX.
StockX is a middle man service that insures every item is 100% authentic...
So I bought a pair of fake sneakers to see if they would catch them.

I Sold Fake Sneakers on StockX and this is What Happened
Is Stockx Legit
#StockX #Sneakers - บันเทิง
They put them under a black light. That helps seeing the blood from the child that made it. That’s how they know they’re authentic.
Yo?
lmao
well shit man, them kids popped off on my 4s🔥🔥🔥
Basically Nike pays kids 50p to make Jordan 1's which cost like £5 to make. They get no sleep and work in factroies
Black lights reveal ghost stitchings
Plot twist: Ari is a StockX employee trying to promote their good authentication service
I doubt it why would stockx pay some guy for a promotion when they're already making billions
@@MJTYT it’s a joke
Bingo
@@MJTYT joke.
it is good a few bad ones which is bound to happen and everyone slates it
So in my experience, the biggest tell is always the little things like the boxes and laces and little plastic bags they put laces in. What you should do is put the reps in a genuine box with genuine accessories and let the sneakers stand on their own. Test out the quality of sneakers and don’t let a box do you in.
Agree I picked out the real in 2 seconds because of the curl of the lable corner where as the fake the whole lable was lifting on the right side. Just seen real labels curl like that so I knew.
Genius. That would make it a lot harder
You can tell u from up north y'all say sneakers
Thats what i was thinking
So buy a real pair just for the box every time you wanna sell a rep. Truly genius
I lived in China for a number of years and most of the stuff I bought was from knock-off markets. You quickly learned that some of the stuff was garbage but that other stuff clearly just 'fell off' the same assembly line as the real deal. In other words, they're not really fakes at all.
Exactly... I have had Alpine tweeters and Airpods thats were 1 to 1 complete copies.. they were clearly from the same assembly line.. i think they produced extra and sold them on the side... actually i would bet $ on it... those are the really good ones especilay if youre a college student like myself on a tight budget.. my air pod pro 2 cost $27 and my friend owns real ones and all the features and appearances and 100% indistinguishable... insane.

U might actually be right
That makes sense. Good point!
Or maybe they do their job well?
This makes perfect sense
It honestly wouldn't surprise me If there's some sort of watermark or hidden security feature that shoe manufacturers tell people like StockX about. It's in their best interest to help them.
they verify shoes with UV lights
@ tjay
No.
@@rg7783 don't even worry about it 💯
Its the qr barcode on the shoe and box
@@ImPedrooo what kind of watermark?
This video made me realize why I stopped being a sneaker head and literally have stopped buying shoes unless I actually need it . And if I do buy, it’ll be a steal from the thrift store
I like this dedication to doing it properly and actually trying to get them to pass
The fact you really can't tell if a shoe is fake unless you hyper analyze it for 10 minutes just proves fakes is the way to go
problem is nobody says where you can get em lol
Damn, you're right
@@Ximenasx oh don’t worry i wont
its the quality of the shoe
@@izJordyGaming Quality is usually damn near the same
Would be cool to see one fake shoe and one real shoe in a box. In theory someone could sell two pairs if they managed to pass with only 1 real shoe in the box and double their profit
They obviously check both shoes.
@@bakedlsealion bruh they dealing with thousands of dollars worth of shoes and a whole company built on this one selling factor. ofc they wouldn't allow employees to take shortcuts. what kind of bad employee are you XD
@@drey212 they take alot of shortcuts in Detroit im from america i know nothing about EU but stockx is no longer a reliable seller plain ass that they might be "trained" to check both shoes but they will only check 1 shoe to save time its a fact
Lol 😂
that’s so smart
First time checking out one of your vids..
Your the GOAT and this video is awesome.
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Ari, no matter how good the fake is, if they bust out a black light and there’s a stamp on the box or on the shoe, it’s an automatic fail. You should see if your shoes have a stamp on them because that’s a dead giveaway bro.
The budget ones have the stamp higher quality reps don’t got stamps
U have no idea how many fakes are being sold n they keep getting better but people buy the cheap one u will be surprised how good the more expensive ones are
Urban necessities got exposed saying fake shoes were real it’s on TH-cam called urban identity
bro that only happens to shitty fakes man, high quality ones dont use those. all these people on the internet who say stuff like this probably havent had a fake that didn’t have a stamp in the first place
@@EXTORTlON I got a pair of high quality reps and they did have a sticker
Are they really even fakes anymore if they’re the same quality 💀
Sad that sometimes they are of better quality than the real
@@original.supplier_lee they probably found out they were fakes because how much better quality they are lol
I wonder if you bought from nikes manufacture would it technically be fake? I mean same show just for manufacture price.
Counterfeit
I dont call them fakes I call them unauthorised versions. Because what is fake anyway?BOTH are made by a Mr and Mrs chin in China etc .
And nike is not a actual person its only a BRAND. So nike DOESN'T PHYSICALLY MAKE "ANYTHING" 🤣🤣
And I've had plenty authorised nikes that have flaws (paint bleed ,loose thread etc. And I've had unauthorised nikes that don't have any flaws. But I rather have flaws on something that I paid a cheaper price for.
best stockx ad ive ever seen
Ngl you're underrated, your videos are genuinely funny and shot well
Big ups for these videos on showing your truth. Keep up the videos, I'm sure allot of time and effort went into these videos!!!
StockX checks the boxes for differences or flaws. You put a sticker inside the box, in a place where it couldn’t have been accidentally stuck. They probably rejected that pair as soon as they unfolded the box before inspecting the shoes. Also, the shoes won’t have the proper weight, unless the fakes had the same sole construction and bonding as the real pair. If they were the same weight and there was no sticker in the box, they would’ve passed. You made it so easy they didn’t even have to inspect anything further than the first two steps.
i rly doubt they check the box like that, and even if they do, its sus, but not a reason to claim that the shoe is fake. checking the weight is a rly good point, but he try to create the realistic situation of selling fakes on stockx, not trying everything possible to get the shoes passed. its not realistic that people want to sell fakes makes the shoes weight more, how u even want to do that?
@@caddybrokn9823 fakes are often not the same weight as the same sized originals. Weight is one of the easiest things to check, so it’s normal to do that. It’s not that anyone making fakes wants to make it a different weight on purpose lol
@@HH-zi5ih do the fakes feel more light or heavy compared to the legit ones?
@@elmeromero5053 not all fakes come from the same place, so it could be either. Weighing the shoes is easier and faster than checking thickness of materials and layers.
you have no clue how 1:1 fakes are these days. ive make 15k selling fakes on stockx
Should send out both one original and one fake from the same address and the same time. I think that could test either their ability to distinguish real/fake, and what their protocol is if someone who has already had legit history tries to send in fakes.
Really enjoyed the video, the content great 👏🏻 especially those days when everyone say’s StockX sale fakes.
You got a like and definitely a follow 😎
The editing of your videos is insane like a movie, keep it up

Weird seeing such amazing high professional videos and then seeing 70k you're gonna blow up in no time. Great Great work
Thanks for the video! I wonder what happen to your seller account when StockX knew that you "sold" a pair of fake sneaker?
The high and low joke was funny
Insole stitching and the insole itself is the only way you can effectively check reps now. Unless it's a poor rep there are other things you can check.
depends on what shoe. even the best rep 4's for example, still have very obvious tells
Saddly even old authentic jays had terrible inside stitching
@@harrybaals2549 yea or if you have an authentic pair to compare cuz the color usually is a slightly off
@@domchey3010 that's not even a good call out because there is difference in leather and won't take the dye same for example the Travis Jordan 1 the brown ones have different shades of brown on retail pairs you can only really use color dealing with shoes with synthetic materials which will mostly be the same shade
@@harrybaals2549 obviously tells for Aj4s? Like what for example
I like how everyone talks about what he did wrong… or UV lights, etc…. And no one has said… damn, StockX is good… cuz they are.
I bought Jordan 1 Chicago 2015's before the last dance for $740 size 11.5 and they came with a replacement box. a Jordan 1 with a regular Jordan 1 box, a shoe of that caliber, really? Also, didn't pass check check so who knows if they were real. I bought the Kaws 4 grey's size 11.5 and they were fake and also all in 9 buys. Oh, with the Jordan 1 Chicago 2015, they didn't offer my money back, they offered $60 store credit, not even actual money, so a $40 value MAYBE. I ended up only getting $100 store credit after back and forth and still have all the emails. The Jordan 1 chicagos I ended up selling for $690 after fees on goat and I paid $806 for the with fees on stockx. I lost almost $120 when a pair with the box went for $2k at the time and these were DS. They passed at Goat so at least I got most of my money back. What I can't get over and worse than not catching a the fake kaws 4 grey pair is everyone knows without OG box it devalues the fuck out of the sneaker and it's part of the authenticity. Then, one as simple as a regular Jordan 1 box which EVERY sneaker head knows, somehow passed through an assembly line of so called knowledgable sneaker heads.. Laughable...
@@vikingsfan9049 I've gotten used shoes when they were supposed to be new.
A big french youtube channel just did the same experience and succeeded. By succeeded I mean they passed the authentification with fakes...on the first try! they bought a real pair and a fake pair (top tier fake) and swapped the boxes. Fake boxes are usually a dead giveaway because the fakers do not put that much effort into it, or at least not as much as effort put into the shoes themselves. However, real box+fake nike passed stockxx authentification test which tell a lot about stockxx supposedly guarrentees...
link to the video th-cam.com/video/eEIaEdrDIEM/w-d-xo.html
Ok but if the fakes are that good and pass authentication then the person who bought them probably will never notice they were fakes to begin with
@@domcars yea most of people Will never notice
This makes me feel so much better. I bought a pair of Jordan’s from stock x and I’m all paranoid waiting for them to come. I’ve never purchased from a reseller before. Normally I find what I want when it drops.
Hay are you still making that eBay video? Thanks for making this series, it was very helpful 👍
Their authentication isn't as good for other items. I got a xbox mini-fridge from them with an obviously broken power switch. As the item was purchased early December and only opened on Christmas, it was outside of their incredibly short return policy window. Still, they accepted the return without much trouble despite it being outside that window, and that's why I'll stay a customer.
shoes are what everyone knows them for so i wouldnt be surpised by shoes being what they check the most for
It seems like youtubers wanna make content committing crimes and validate it with hoping to get caught. Selling counterfeits is a federal crime.
It's like some dumbass who wants to make a video of themself trying to pass the security and metal detectors at an airport with a duffel bag full of cocaine. Whether they catch him or not let alone him making it a social experiment to show what happens for content, it will set a precedent where others will imitate youtubers and be like "yo dawg so I am a youtuber and making a documentary on Whether or not my bag full of coke gets me caught and because you caught me youre awesome. Ok toodleloo I am leaving now hehehe". Quite frankly, it should not be stockx' complete responsibility to make sure people aren't selling fakes. That should be on the sellers themselves. I know that if I am sold something fake with my hard earned moneu I am not complacent enough to walk away from it and will see it through the seller be jailed and I be compensated. In other words, youtubers whom were once... well they aren't on TH-cam anymore as they are banned but there were pranksters and others trying to sell fakes on youtube and not only were their channels taken down and they forced to pay a lot of money, they faced some serious charges from harming other people and simply selling fakes. If this youtuber is trying to keep people from buying from stockx it just reminds me of youtube taking away the viewing number of dislikes and force a narrative upon you.

well you can but people dont but them for other people, they want to OWN those shoes coz they are sneaker heads and love the shoes. It's like if you loved watches and you appreciated them,, with time it takes to make, brand, history, you would not want to buy a fake say Rolex, or fake car e.t.c

I mean, if the shoes need to be inspected that close, I don’t think it matters as much depending on the situation. If you’re trying to actually buy the legit ones, yes it’s important, but if you wanna wear those shoes, reps aren’t gonna be noticed in the wild. No one is gonna look at your feet and say “hey, the stitching is slightly off” or “hey the Nike check is slightly lower by .002 millimeters”

dude i literally just ordered my dunk low pandas right nowwwww and after checkout i come across this vid come onnn!!! lol
I wanna know where he got the fakes 🤣
When you make these accounts do you have a VPN and keep the same IP until after you sell them to yourself? Because there's a good chance they can look at the IP address and see the accounts under it, and how they both have a failed attempt to get shoes through verification and that might be part of the issue. The reason you have to have consistent IP addresses is because otherwise they can tell you're using a VPN from it changing so regularly.
I think to test this you should try selling the real pair of that same shoe that you tried to sell to yourself and see what happens.
My uncle works for StockX and the reason why it never pass is because they scan the barcode tag that is in the shoes… one scan can prove it all👍
Is this a fact?
@@fouad3831 yes every nike shoe has a thing called an sku code. when you scan it, it tells you the exact nike item. if its fake, then nothing pops up
thanks now I can sell my fake shoes
Wow! Nike must be very smart in doing that.
@@FRANKFAJARDO2691 any item sold anywhere in big corporations is documented with barcodes.
Hard to say they are fakes when the builders of the shoe factory and materials sourced were smuggled to make a pair.
The effort put into this video wow!
I think for the complainers out there, this is a sign that StockX is way better than you think at authentication. Also no place is fake proof, some are bound to get through which is unfortunate but doesn’t make the whole company trash.
I remember when $60 was high dollar for Nike shoes. When I can't walk into a licensed dealer and purchase REAL shoes there's a problem and I won't even begin to discuss how expensive shoes are today
These shoes especially Jordan’s are only expensive because of the hype around it. The demand for Jordan’s are higher as a result of the hype. Therefore the people who do have supply of these shoes in the secondary market will increase the prices.
you are just old
@@arcxne4756 not old, GROWN....as in I don't use cartoons as my pic 🙄
@@daniellenichols9757 tbh you do look old. You’re maybe in your 40s?
@@FLAMEalan I'm not ashamed of how old I am, my age doesn't decrease the value of the dollar. Some of these shoes are tens of thousands of dollars and I don't care how old someone is that's plain ridiculous! Y'all act like no one over 25 should have an opinion on sneakers when some of his guests are older than I am!!
StockX could have some really good tech that can scan the exact shape of molded parts like the sole, or sample the material the sole is made out of, etc.
The same thing applies to store brands. I learned in business school that there is a period in the run where it is more economical to just sell at a lower price during certain runs which is normally packaged as store brand. It is technically the same as the brand name.
I think the reason why they may be getting rejected is because its a new account selling its first pair of shoes. There is probably a good chance in their algorithm that they will scrutinize way more heavily on a new account than one that has sold multiple pairs of real shoes
eBay will 100% pass anything you send them. They’ve authenticated an entirely different shoe than what I ordered before. Can’t wait for that video.
so that's why people are selling shoes for extremely cheap on eBay? that bums me because I sell real shoes there since they have no fees and they might ruin the whole program
I ordered some yeezy’s off there actually some 500s and they ended up not passing the test and they were £110 sooo idk

4:11 Yeah bro! Keep it a secret. Make the spoon feeding ones work for it 😂
I read a book that explained knock offs. In it they said the best fakes are made in the same factories and the same workers as the original. Criminals offer them well paid overtime to stay at night making the same trainers they make in the day.

Man I literally just felt this. The Jordan’s I bought released a few years ago but I was scared of getting fakes after paying a few hundred for them 😭
You need to make sure the UV passes as well. A lot of hype sneakers have a UV tag and if its not there, it wont pass stockx verification, even authentic sneakers that have the UV taken off due to being sold early, aka pre-release, don't pass authentication
bro I love how the stock x in the beginning fits right in his eyes
Do you get the fakes you sent back?? Or what do they do with them? Just occurred to me thats prob a grey area as far as sending known fakes back to the seller. But i feel like they couldn’t just confiscate them right??
Glad to know that I always get my shoes from StockX. I was always worried about getting fakes. Thanks for the video

@@marvinc9840 use goat if you’re buying sneakers I only use stock x for clothes lol
the nike check was the dead giveaway. it’s a subtle detail you can miss if you aren’t really looking at it. but once you see it, you can un see that flaw. also the box, and maybe it didn’t pass a backlight test. smell or insole stitching could have also been a dead giveaway. but on feet, no one would be able to tell they were reps.

yeah actually its kinda crooked

BIG Props for throwing shades at RoundTwo. They for sure sell fakes all the time lol.
True they just sent me a fake pair of yeezy beluga reflective yesterday I’m pissed 😤
Regardless of how they catch and how good your fakes are honestly i think what your doing for those resell buyers it’s a good thing.Building up their authentication team to be better and smarter is good,Thanks man!
“If I bought them , they would pass.” Exactly 😂
Well this aged fucking amazing
So often the little things you dont expect are the things that makes shoe pass or not. Like little text on a sticker on a box or a few wrong stitches inside a sneaker. Its extremely rare to find a replica sneaker that would be 1:1. Though there are reps that have 1:1 outside and shape but inside will 99% fail.
These videos are all the more reason I will buy from StockX. I'm 9 purchases in, but I messed up and all the shoes I want went up a little bit too high than I'm willing to pay.
so ur zero in....
I’m 20 items in about 4 was reported to be fake and shipped with new sellers, Covid really fucked stock x up cause they were cheaper than goat and that high ass flight club I was buying retros for 150-$300 max now the same ones I bought 4-600$😖😖 & more I had on my wish list shot up
I never had an issue with fake shoes on stock x. Although I did get a damaged one that was supposed to be NWB. Got a feeling they tried bending the damn show to see if it was flimsy/fake and cracked the plastic on it.
Quick question - do you use a VPN when you create your accounts? Are you using the same network you used for the others? They *may* be hotlisting accounts for additional validation from IPs that have sold known fakes in the past. Just a thought.
Wondering did you clean the guidelines? Most really good reps will have invisible ink (shows up in uv) that they use to line up panels that would have to be cleaned with alcohol or another light solvent when checking shoes blacklist is one of the first things I check especially on the best pairs
If you mind where do you get a good rep pair to rock. I buy a shoe and say I am going to wear it but I end up selling from too good of profits from the apps.
You should've not only did the black light test to look for stamps but also if your sending and receiving addresses are the same then that'd be a red flag to stock x. I'd try to mail them to a friend.
He said in another comment he ships from his place to his parents place
what do u mean stamps where would they be?
@@ilovecheesecake516 on the sole of the shoe. But u can’t see it, that’s when the black light comes in play
Ever thought about, putting fake shoes, with an authentic box and accessories?
The dunks missing the sticker on the insole gave it away
but honestly if the fakes are indistinguishable from the reals why does it even matter if they are reps at that point
it doesn’t matter but people love authenticity for some reason even if it costs hundreds of more dollars

I subscribed after seeing this video how about donating those reps I really need a pair of sneakers honestly.
now you gotta set your location to hte other side of the country and try seeing if it's just the center on your side is good at detecting fakes. think they have an east coast and west coast center cuz i know my labels started going to tempe az after a while so assuming they opened a second warehouse
Maybe the real shoes have something that is invisible to you but Stockx know where it is… Use UV light or something.
early as hell on a future million views video yessir
I get from stockx and never had an issue.. a couple times somebody tried to pass off fakes but they kit only caught it but find another buyer at the same price.
Glad to see we go to the same UPS store
The fact this is in my recommended now..the irony
Before you send the shoe off you need to clean the stamp off the bottom of the sneaker they have a tag at the bottom to show that they are fake, Once you clean the bottom off make sure to clean everything.
I read an article several years ago that said that items made outside of normal working hours were considered unauthorized even though this is the same facility that supply major stores
yeah
yeah I agree.. You should put them under a UV light, and also the paper, maybe the paper is the key hahaha!
He's probably putting his return address on the package and they have it listed as a person that sells fakes.
This makes me happy because it means the Yeezy's are easy to tell if they're fakes.
Usually for brand new sneakers they will have a super nasty glue plastic smell on the real ones. A lot of fakes I’ve seen actually don’t have the nasty smell
no most of the time yeezy reps are basically 1:1
You should've sent the real ones through, too, just to confirm they'd pass the real one's vs. catching the fakes.
The quality of some fakes are just as good and in some rare cases even BETTER quality then some real ones. I seen a few good fake reviews and heard the reviewer say the quality on these are really good better then the real ones even, as in, no shotty crooked threads, much softer premium leather quality, more detailed paint lines, much softer foam, better rubber compounds, I’ve even heard one story that a high lux brand like, Louis Vee once stated the fakes shirts or garments being being created were so good and so cheaply priced they could NEVER compete with such good quality at such a low price! I believe it was M.I.A. talking about it??? Anyway good job sharing with us your stockx experiment.
It’s surprising to me that shoe manufacturers don’t have some type of serial number or code that states where they were made, when, by who, etc etc.
If something like that existed, anyone with a fake pair of shoes wouldn’t know about it and their tag/code wouldn’t jive with official records and therefore fail authentication.
For shoes that are $50 I guess it wouldn’t matter but for shoes over $100 it would make sense for them to do this.
yes, like nike and jordan already does that on football jerseys
They do… well factories do. Stock X or anyone can buy a UV light pen and scan a sole which will always have a little stamp from the factory to identify where the shoe came from
That’s so much effort for a 200 dollar shoe. It’s not a Rolex
@@EthanRom I suppose you’re right, but if a company as large as Nike can’t implement this type of change, all hope is lost and we’ll continue to be flooded with bootleg shoes.
its surprising that on a shoe that Nike prob paid less than $5 for, there isn't hidden markers? They Don't give AF about any shoe after they sell it retail. Why would they spend any money that wasn't necessary?
Maybe he doesn’t clean them with alcohol and the factory stamp stays there
“ if I bought them they would pass “ 😂
