Real or Fake Site

[foekk]

Sup guys?

Alright first of all, since this is my first post I want to set something straight: Im not just a spammer. Been reading on this page for a while but never got around to post. Some of you might know me from BBC.CO.UK.

Anyways, I noticed a lot of people on this forum are interested in Bathing Ape/BBC/Icecream as well. New kids to the game keep on asking the same questions.. they post a pic of an ugly as hell Bape item and ask if it's real or not. Of course we help the poor kids out, but it's time for them to learn how to do this theirselves.

So, I spent some hours creating the following page:
http://www.kuffi.net/rof

Keep in mind this is a new site, and I still need to add a lot of content, but the basics are there. I'd love to know what you guys think of it, and suggestions are always good.

Hope it helps you guys out.

[franklin]

thats really good
nice job

[rufus]

this site has been helpful. good job. but the thing i've learned is i take it for granted that I live an hour outside of the city. Its just worth while to go to BWS and buy it and not have to be sketchy about any of that.

[MeccaDon718]

Not too bad...but ill assure you that won't cut down on the "is this legit or not" nonsense destroying this forum

btw, mad site, good for those new comers

[foekk]

Thanks guys!

@kcokla

Yeah Im actually thinking about just refering to that site. I think it's pretty pointless for me to put a lot of time and effort in it AGAIN while it's already told nicely on that page.

I'll try to add other brands like Supreme and stuff in the future as they're being faked as well.

Nice job:)

[rufus]

funny part about that Shark Hoodie is my friend bought that fake one in that yellow one. he knew that he was buying a fake one to begin with but about the fleece on the inside, I tried his on just to see how it felt and i got yellow fuzz all over my shirt.

[rufus]

is there a site for spotting fake bapestas and roadstas coming in the future? I know that for the most part its the colors you can tell but i've been told other things like the size of panels and shit. visuals for that would be great for the future. but keep it going i've already referred 20 people to your site

[foekk]

Thanks for the refers.

There already is a page for roadstas and bapestas! But it's still in progress, but it might already help you a bit.

What a great improvement ! I think this deserves a sticky

[foekk]

Thanks Mecca. Working on the site right now so expect an update tonight.

Working on Bape belts, Bapestas and the Hall of Shame.

Varsity Jackets will appear on the site next week!

A great guy is also helping on the Baby Milo section so it seems to go pretty well with the site :) I love the great feedback and I'm glad to see I can help people with this. I might need to get a new domain soon for this tho as all my current bandwidth gets sucked away.

-=================================================-
New - Bathing Ape Sellers Read! - New
-=================================================-
If you're a Bathing Ape Seller and have a page (either eBay or a normal website) you can now use "REAL OR FAKE" to proof you're a legit retailer!

How does this work?
I will create a page with legit sellers. You can contact me either via PM or the contact-page on the site. You send me a link of your site or eBay page (you MUST have things for sale at the time you send me the link!).

Along with the e-mail give me the following information:
Shop Owner: (can be a nickname or whatever you want)
Shop Title:
Brands:
Other references:
URL (link) :

After I've checked and approved your site I will send you out a code you can put on your page saying you're a legit seller.

Why would I do this?
First of all you will probably get more visitors. Since my site brings objective information and people looking on it are probably willing to buy real items, they will quickly find their way to the sellers page, and propbably go to your site!

So what should I do for you?
Just put one of the codes I will mail back to you on your site. It's an image that says you're an approved legit seller and if clicked it will link back to my site. I will give different codes so there will always be something that fits well on your site.

That's it! Start contacting us now!

Ok there is this site sellin the new bape Roadstas and they have all kinds of bapes/jordans/af1s and shit. I don't know if they are fake or not could someone help me out

http://www.hiphopkickz.com/bapesta.html

[rufus]

i'm still fairly new to the Bape game but some of those roadstas are colorways that ive never seen before, especially in the metallic's i dont think they made some of those colors. and looking at the air bubble in those "roadstas" they have camo print in them and the real ones do not. I'd stay away from that site, just check out flight club or pickyourshoes.com they sell real shit, and now that i look at the price, 105 bucks. Definitely fake. stay away from that site if you really want the real shit

[whiteboi]

I wanted to get the 1st one the black ones with the white star and sole

[rufus]

those ones are fakes they're supposed to be an off white not bright white. the real Kanye West bapes are 500 bucks.

http://www.flightclubny.com/p.php?fc=ny&c=bape&i=101067

[rufus]

foekk i got 2 pics of kids with FAPE to add to your hall of shame haha.

btw those ones with the R in the star, Against All Odds' version of the bapestas. I'm suprised AAO hasn't been sued yet for making ripoffs of Bape, 10 Deep, and BBC hoodies yet.

but here's the links:

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=8970663&albumID=0&imageID=1198090857

i asked that kid where he got his and he said "the bape store in NYC" me: "oh yeah, where's the bape store?" him: "a few blocks up from canal street, i dont remember where but i stumbled across it walkin through soho"

and this kid

[foekk]

Haha that's fantastic! Thanks, def putting these on my site. Keep 'em coming guys!

[foekk]

I need pics of the REAL Billionaire Boys Club Diamonds and Dollars Hoody (preferably the blue one). Please let me know if you have any of these.

^^^how the hell did they get fake boardflips?

[foekk]

a better question is WHY.. the real ones cost j*ck shit :)

[foekk]

BIG UPDATE! Check the site!

[Francescooo]

Good Job. 8) :) 8)

[rufus]

i am in awe that there is a fake market for board flips. If you can't afford boardflips you really shouldn't be into this kind of fashion at all. and that one boardflip, why does it come with the old Ice Cream box, that should be a given right away.

speaking of fakes of already inexpensive clothes, I've been seeing alot of fake 10 deep hoodies lately, including Against All Odds' take on the Comic and Crack hoodie, they took the same exact print from the 10 deep hoodie and marketed it under their own name, plus they made it a full zip.

[foekk]

Update!
» BBC Varsity Jacket (Flamingo) (http://www.kuffi.net/rof/flamingo.shtml)
» Bape x Kaws Slaughter (Chopped) Hoody (http://www.kuffi.net/rof/chopped.shtml)

@Rufus
Yeah it's stupid but I dont understand why someone would get fake boardflips anyway, the real ones are cheap already.. so why get fakes.

I really want to get some new brands on the site and yeah 10DEEP is probably one of the ones coming up. I haven't really been in to the brand but is it really populair and do you guys think it's worth spending time on? Let me know!

[rufus]

yeah 10 deep would be worthwhile, the fake market is getting bigger and bigger for them. In my local mall the Against All Odds sells fake 10 deep hoodies, well, its not exactly fake because it doesn't say 10 deep on it anywhere they just took the comic and crack print and labeled it with their own brand name, but if you would like a donation of one i could send it to you they're only 75 bucks and I like what you are doing with your site so i would definitely send it to you. but yeah 10 Deep's fake market is getting bigger and bigger, unfortunately since their stuff is pretty cheap to begin with :(

[nmd]

nice work :)

[foekk]

@rufus

thanks for your great comments man. Donations are always great however $75 for a fake thing IS actually pretty expensive now isn't it? :) And I'd rather check to see if there's some places selling fake hoodies that DO say 10 DEEP on them.. as those are the ones that are REALLY fake and misleading.

Ive also added a little forum for people to ask questions. Not officially released yet so not much going on yet but it's there ;)

I will update the site soon.

[foekk]

Update:
OG Milo Hoody and NFS Multi-Camo Hoody
http://www.kuffi.net/rof

[rufus]

yeah well ive been down canal street to pick up mix tapes and ive been inside the little shops and they're selling fape for 90 bucks a piece. but a 75 dollar donation i wouldn't mind because you're site is one of a kind and really helpful.

[foekk]

Thanks man, yeah the articles on my site cost me quite a lot.. of course I buy the real ones for myself but not the fakes heh. Well I've sent you a PM! :)

[rufus]

yeah, i just recently started getting into Bape and your site has been very helpful for me. but I've learned to just go to BWS since im fortunate enough to live an hour out of NYC. but its still good to know how to tell a fake from real incase someone does have something really hot up for sale. speaking of which i wish i could find that Milo x Kaws chopped hoodie somewhere, one of the illest items i've seen thats been made by them.

[foekk]

Heh sh!t, was able to get that chopped hoody for $250 like a month ago.. always check ebay and stuff for things that go for cheap.

Anyway for today:
BBC Second Season T-shirt (http://www.kuffi.net/rof/bbclogo2.shtml)
