> Is the merchandise on KicksOnFire.com 100% Authentic?

All merchandise on KicksOnFire.com is factory produced novelty replicas and are custom altered. The merchandise are produced in unique and unreleased colors that are not normally offered elsewhere. All shoes on KicksOnFire.com are factory variants. Due to technological advances, factories overseas have been able to make better quality replicas. This is the reason there are many different quality shoes on the website. Air Jordan (variants) are what we would call B quality grade shoes. On the other hand, ALL other shoes on KicksOnFire.com are AAA+ quality authentic novelty replicas with no flaws.

ok i guess they arent real jordans, but it says they are made with the same quality. it says the only shoes on the site that arent good quality are the jordan (variants). i dunno if thats what im looking at bc i dont see jordan variants. so will these shoes be durable, bc i still like them.

as a sneaker collector, i can tell you that it's not the best idea to buy fakes.
first off, they use crappier material. the leather isn't leather. the rubber is brick solid. the seams aren't as strong. they fall apart easier.

plus, anybody that knows anything about shoes is going to look at you strange for wearing fakes, which, i could care less personally, but it's like seeing those people wearing fake louis vuitton gear....just....tacky.

i've gotten a fake pair off ebay once, in my size, and i could barely put them on my feet. i can tell you, even if they did fit me, it wasn't hard to tell how cheap they felt on my feet. i sent them back right away.

the sizing is off, the materials are off, the look is off. don't waste your money.

my advice - don't buy fakes/variants/aaa's

if you want the real thing, those xi's are coming out again in 2006....wait until then.....or, pm me your size and i might be able to find you some real ones (they don't come cheap)

how can you tell if they are real or fake tho? they look the same. or do you have to see pics of the inner tongue and sole or what?

^^ honestly, it takes a lot of practice to distinguish real from fake...

generally speaking, unless the seller has over 500 feedback and his rating is damn near perfect, it's hard to trust who you buy from. also, in general, anything that comes from outside the eastern hemisphere, or has shipping that costs more than 15 bucks is probably fake. anybody with a ridiculously low BIN price is probably selling fakes. anybody with multiple units of the same rare shoe is probably selling fakes.

there's a forum on the web with a lot of people that can help you out distinguishing reals from fakes....www.niketalk.com
i would suggest you visit that site periodically if you're interested in jordans...
