Back in March, we gave you a look at the Air Force 1 Bespoke designed by Pete from Premium Laces and it looks like somebody liked it so much, they had to bootleg them. This pair recently popped up on eBay. They copied the design exactly, even down to the reflective 3M and the shoes are being passed off as the ones we showed you on Sneaker News. Unfortunately to this seller, we happen to know for a fact that they are indeed knock-offs. You can check out a comparison of the two after the jump and take this as a reminder to always beware of what you are bidding on.

Hmmm. Maybe he dropped the $225 at Bespoke and is trying to flip for more. Or they are just flat-out fakes.

Yeah nevermind, dude is asking for Money Order since “PayPal is down” hahahaha yeah pretty obvious scammer. Too bad a lot of his shoes are getting up there price wise.

LMAO!!
He stole your pics too.

I also love this idiots “Air Force 1″ shoe box.
The black box af1′s are smooth, and not so rigid. Clearly fake.
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:06 pm
check the other items this cat has for sale, soooooooo fake
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:06 pm
On the fake ones the 3rd shoelace loop comes above the side panel box and the real ones the 3rd lace loop lines up perfectly. And the fakes have a way darker midsole too. Them pieces of shiites already hit $200 on ebay. SMH.

Dam!! first Mayor now Pete.. Thats Crazy!! They Bootlegged the Hottest ones in my Opinion.. these guys should be flattered.
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:40 pm

June 23rd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
they should hang people that do that. my biggest wonder is where do they get the materials for it..
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:47 pm
EVERYONE REPORT HIM
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Real talk if i were pete id feel hounored. lets be real its a hot shoe. Problly the hottest bespoke yet. It must be if they took the time to bootleg it so well. i wonder how many hood cats will we see with these on. Nice try bootleggers but no thanks.

Funny thing is, all the shit he’s selling is fake and people are still bidding hard! no shame!!!
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:40 pm
@Sneak21
Good call man, I just did it. Sadly ebay only allows 100 characters for filing a report; fortunately the url to this page is 97
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:52 pm
My gut reaction is that everything he’s selling is fake. I want to feel bad for the bidders but, when it comes to spending that kind of money on such rare shoes, they should know better.
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:02 pm
it is the same two people bidding on his shit this guy is a dumb ass
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:07 pm
I CHECK DUDE LISTIN AND ALL HIS SHIT IS FAKE…I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE R READY BIDDIN ON HIS BOOTLEGS
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:37 pm
I bet the bidders are fake too. Throw fake bids on em to make it look more legit to people that dont know any better.
June 24th, 2009 at 4:27 am

Please son, you claimed they are Petes when SneakerNews says they confirmed Pete still has his. You tried to use his name to make a quick buck, too bad your bitch-ass got caught. Wonder why your Paypal was down.
June 24th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
How the hell does this guy (Got.Sole) leave a comment like that. First off homie you make no sense at all!!! I wear size 8.5 you were selling an 11. now the only way you could get that sneaker is if you make a Bespoke @ 21 Mercer. and my peeps over there wouldnt let u make the same shoe retard. Its not about lighting your shits are defitnley Fake. They were never for sale @ 21 Mercer.(Period)
U said u have more heat in your closet? probally all bootlegged shit. if you really knew me, you understand your stupid to make that comment.
All in All you make no sense. but immitation is the sincerest form of Flattery. oh yeah and get off my D**k.
Thanks to all who helped to get this dude shut down. Dudes like this try to ruin the purity of the Sneaker Culture.
Peace,
Pete (Premium Laces)
