just curious... how do you know its a fake? I can't really tell...
now the bad quality picture throws me off... somebody that cares about their business would not be posting low quality product pictures like that.

Funny because I was on that site yesterday and I realized this is the site where everyone on ebay gets their pictures.

Well since i know what the real thing looks like for alot of these, i can see differences, even though they are similar

All Bape Hoodies and Shoes, Nike AF1 Shoes, and LRG Hoodies we sell are AAA high grade variants. They come with a factory box and fit true to size. The quality is excellent, and almost the same as the authentic version.
All Bathing Ape, Evisu, and Red Monkey clothing we sell are AAA grade replicas, not authentic. The quality is excellent and all items look exactly like the original including tags. The authentic stuff sells for well over $500 for jeans or a hoodie, so now you can save hundreds of dollars per item!

it's so easy to make replicas.... just send them the original and they reverse engineer.
its the same with watches. i got a cousin who makes copys of watches in hatton gardens (london) he takes apart real ones and makes new ones from the same mold but with lesser materials.
