First off, I gotta say, I see some people defending ’em. Like, one person says they’ve been around forever and wouldn’t survive if they were straight-up scamming people. Which, like, makes a bit of sense. You don’t last that long in the game by just selling garbage, ya know? Good prices for both the buyer *and* the seller? Sounds kinda legit, right?
But then you got the flip side! I’ve seen people screaming about getting burned, saying the shoes are defective, fake leather, look worn…basically, a total ripoff. Getting two completely different shoes? That sounds like a nightmare scenario. I mean, who wants a franken-pair of kicks? Nobody, that’s who.
And then there’s CoolKicks themselves. They acknowledge the replica market exists, which is…well, at least they’re not pretending it’s not a thing. They even have guys who are “highly skilled” at spotting fakes. So, like, are they trying to be legit, or are they just playing both sides of the fence? It’s kinda confusing.
Look, here’s the deal. Sneaker reselling is a minefield. There’s so much money involved, it’s bound to attract shady people. And, honestly, mistakes happen. Even the best authenticators can get fooled sometimes. Maybe CoolKicks gets duped themselves now and again? IDK.
