Faked: Is that site selling fake sneakers?

The sneaker market is filled with a vast market of real and supreme sneakers. Lot's of legit pairs made and sold everyday at every sneaker store in the U.S. and all the sneaker sites online you can name. Now, there is a bad market that is shamed in the serious sneaker collectors industry. This is a sneaker market that is usually deceptive and hard to understand. With the mass demand of the buy and sell world in the sneaker game, there is a desire to try and make money in it. Some of these sellers however aren't fully trustworthy. That meaning their products, sneakers, and advertising game is all off.

This is a new series I have felt like starting that will showcase a site selling fakes or at least isn't all there authentically. Now this is not to say that these sites won't sell you something, we just figure it won't be a original, and it may not look anything like what the picture shows however, many of these better made faking sites actually have some really convincing fakes that can be hard to spot if you are new to the sneaker game. So let's get started with site #1 for the sneaker series "Faked".

Site: 2015newjordans.com

Story: This site sells sneakers at what would be considered a sneaker fans dream to cop some less than retail priced J's. The sneakers showcase from the Air Jordan 2 all the way to an Air Jordan 12. Now as you can see if you go to the site, the site has a navigation menu to all their different shoes on the left hand side of the page. If you notice, one, the shoe models are not in order, which most legit selling sites would. Also in this navigation menu you will notice that the other models like "KD 7 For Sale" or "Nike Air Yeezy for Sale". Well again, no professional selling sneaker website sells their products listed like that! I am pretty sure that this site is a decently made site as the layout doesn't just appear trash right off the bat. I bet the fakes are actually pretty good but I can't say that they do as I have never ordered a pair from them. But anyways, here is a evidence piece of why I think this is fake site. 

From this image above, you will see a legit pair posted by Sports Illustrated of Air Jordan 12 "Flu Game" colorway. This sneaker is even signed but that doesn't matter. What I want you to take notice is the fact that in the next image I will show you which is from 2015newjordans.com, is that the black Jordan tag on the back above the 23 on the heel of the shoe pictured above doesn't match 2015newjordans image. Take a look below. 

This image above, I hope is available for you to see, is that the black tab on these is now a red color above the 23 as you can see on the facing backwards. The shoe is not the same as the one sports illustrated showed. I think we can say that this site at least advertises fakes (knowingly or not). 

Now I did some researching on my own and saw that the 2015newjordans.com is hosted in Kansas City, Missouri. Alright, not bad... and then I saw that the website was owned by a name of something along the lines of Zihouard Liu. That name sounds very um, lets say non-american. I am not making this a racist thing, all that I am stating is, either there is a foreign man by the name of Zihouard Liu living in Kansas City which could be a possibility, I mean, I never met the guy myself. Or this is just a wacky registered sneaker site that accepts only credit-cards such as Visa and Mastercard payments only. However, it offers free shipping on almost all orders and if you are wanting it there quicker you could pay $15 for DHL shipping. These are only shopping choices I have noticed from testing out the add to cart feature on this site. I cant say that this site will steal your money or anything like that as it actually looks like a pretty decently made site. They may sell you a very, very realistic "replica" like pair of Jordans or whatever you buy, but I would be surprised if they were original. 

Thanks and I appreciate you for reading, I hope that I haven't taken too much of your time but this new sneaker news series about fake selling sneaker websites is just for the new sneaker buyers and warning people that don't get tricked by these "too good to be true" dealers as you may get scammed or end up receiving fakes. This has been All Access Sneakers, see you next time. 

All Access Sneakers Making a Return!?!?

Hello readers, I really apologize about the very, very, very long time I have been gone. I have seen that our last post was made May 16, 2016 and here we are closing in on the beginning of September! My big reason for leaving is my desktop computer at home has been broken all summer as some dumb virus has virtually kept me from being on it...anyways, I then turned to my other laptop which then during this summer I got lazy and didn't make any posts for this. I don't know how many followers I still have but I just wanted to say I am really sorry for the long absence. I just got back into going to school so it's been a ride and I have been busy all summer. It really sucks about having to be out of the sneaker game and news like I have been for awhile. I hope for awhile I can still bring you guys content on a regular basis. I appreciate all the readers and following I had in the past but I am here to stay for now but I really appreciate everything and hope you guys have been repping your shoes and keeping on the grind all summer long as I know there has been some crazy stuff going down in the sneaker world but again, thanks and I hope you all are having a great year so far.
