I did some digging, ya know? I ain’t seen anything super concrete saying RUVILLA *definitely* sells fakes. But, like, the sneaker resale game is shady, period. Look at StockX, right? Nike themselves is calling them out for selling fakes! That’s a BIG problem. And StockX isn’t the only one. People are finding fake shoes on GOAT, too—like, *come on*.
And then you got places like Vinted, which, tbh, is a total minefield if you ain’t got a hawk eye for details. I saw someone asking about Nordstrom Rack selling fakes too. It’s pretty scary, honestly.
The real problem here is that these fake shoes are getting *good*. Like, really good. The materials are almost the same, the tags might look legit, it’s tough to tell! Some people are saying to use AI sneaker authenticators now – which is cool, I guess – but how good ARE they?
