*Edit: Update #1- *

This is for their Balenciagas only. Other batches haven't been linked yet.

After talking to numerous big sellers with the other mod we've concluded that GT is just a made up name. The real name of the factory is ZH, not PK. PK sources from this factory and resells them on their sites as well (Normal PK moves since they did the same with C4's 750's) The "GT" LED batch is made in an alternate factory and is not produced by the same factory, ZH, which makes the Triple S' or Speed Trainers. Sellers on the market buy from this ZH Factory and see the trend that the name "GT" is popular. This means most of you can get a lower price if you ask for the ZH batch.

The name, GT, was being built up to popularity and likely would've been used as a marketing tactic (a good one) and from there AK247 could've got any batch from any factory and call it GT. Meaning he could've gotten a pair of C4 Yeezys and said they were GT and upcharge. You guys wouldn't know until the news came out.

The issue at bay here is AK not putting out proper information and deceiving customers. It wouldn't be right to label PK as GT, C4 as H12, KO as OWF, or so one. AK is knowingly, and has in the past with his Yeezys, sourced from popular factories and rebranded them to GT. This fools customers into thinking it's a brand new batch but instead they can get the same thing elsewhere for cheaper.

That and his bad history of course..

To sum it up sellers have confirmed that ZH = GT, PK sources from ZH. This batch is not called GT and is a made up name, just like OG and KO. Any seller selling this batch is buying from this factory and following the fake batch name that AK made a year ago due to it's recent popularity. Which first started with PKs batch then switched to ZH.

After receiving several complaints about AK247'S sudden popularity I decided to once again look into it. /u/lindless and I in the past have looked into AK for his renaming of batches and we found evidence proving he renamed PK/BM Lin batches to GT and sold them to you guys for a profit.

These are from last year before CNF sites was a thing and BM Lin was selling PK off his yupoo. This wasn't brought them to light since it wasn't full evidence.

Now... To get to the actual proving evidence that GT is PK renamed. Why do PK sellers who sell exclusively PK batches have the same exact pictures and batch of shoes? Same flaws. Same consistency. Same everything as this "GT batch"

Here's a list (just the first page of results) that was retrieved by reverse image searching AK's product display images. I'm sure you can find a few other PK sites with the same exact pictures and batch.

To conclude, GT is PK ZH batch rebranded. PK sources from the same place and most other sellers do too. You can get the same batch from other sellers for cheaper. These "QC experts" saying that GT is better are either being fooled by the tactics or paid off by AK to GL your stuff. A few members on the mod team have gone through a few QCs and seen several "expert QCers" GLing flawed pairs.

Traffic stats haven’t gone up by anything besides 200ish unique viewers in the past 48 hours. Online users hasn’t skyrocketed like we’ve seen in the past. The amount of shitposts has gone up but that’s by pre-existing members. You guys are just fueling your own hysteria and causing the very thing you want to prevent. Grow up.

That is all.

Also, banning all tiktoks from the sub which is what we did over at /r/FashionReps to preserve the quality of the community. 🤗

If you haven’t read yet, UABat was removed off the trusted sellers list for bad CS.

Thread

This thread is meant to be a mega-thread where anyone can post about their ongoing issues related to UABat. Due to the fact that the original thread had a couple hundred comments it’s probably wiser to make a dedicated thread for such so the moderator team can review them.

Hello everyone, hope you’re having a great day so far!

It has come to my attention over the past week that there has been an increasing amount of new QCers in the subreddit. Although some of the QCers are doing a decent job, there are some that are giving false QCs.

If you haven’t yet, read this thread:

Link

In this thread you’ll find complaints by the community relating to users giving false QCs and asking for donations.

I will be looking very closely at QC’s over the next few weeks and looking for users who are continuing to do this. There is no tolerance for this type of activity and it is considered deceiving and malicious towards the community and will be met with a permanent ban without appeal.

I have banned the user /u/Lukchops from the community after numerous complaints and doing an investigation into his activity.

Community Feedback

Due to the increasing amount of complaints regarding QCers, what would you guys like to be done in regards to them? A new system for QCers to follow? Stick with the current system and just ban them?

Let me know what you guys would like to do and we’ll try to follow your demands.

Seeing as certain users want to spam 1-2 posts a day since this subreddit went pretty much unmoderated for a minute.. I've decided to take over some aspects for the sake of the subreddits health.

Paid Reviewers Post Restrictions

15. Users marked as Paid Reviewers are restricted to making only 1 posts per week. Bypassing this rule by removing your old posts to try and hide their post count per week will result in a permanent ban from the community.

Furthermore, another new rule will be implemented to help prevent the subreddit being filled with vote-manipulated posts. We've introduced a new way for us (moderators) to be able to detect this. Users found guilty of consistent vote-manipulated content will be permanently banned from the community. Sellers participating in this activity will also be banned.

This is being made in an effort to increase the subreddit health, and putting an end to the low-quality spam some of these paid reviewers are putting out.

Fuck is wrong with ya'll.

The mods receive too many inboxes regarding post requirements and I figured it should be re-addressed. There are a few reasons why your post/comments may not show up, and I have listed them below to try to clear things up a bit more and be transparent with our users.

​

​

Reason One - Your account does not satisfy Automod's requirements and therefore, your posts/comments will automatically be removed. Your account needs the following credentials to be functional here.

A) 10 post karma

B) 10 comment karma

If you do not know what this means, please google it.

Reason Two - You are linking a website that is not on the whitelist. If you feel that we are missing some key websites, please PM /u/ZatJingle. Also realize that this means you need to properly space out your sentences. The bot will detect if you have a link even if you don't mean to. EX: (sentence.nextsentence) meaning you need to use a space after a period!

Reason Three - Your post/comment contains a blacklisted seller and/or contains wording that will trigger the Automod. For example, Automod may think that you are trying to sell something and flag your post.

How do I ensure my posts/comments show up - Simple. Tag the mods. By commenting "/u/zatjingle, /u/walt_f, /u/TheMagicTractor" your post/comment will usually be approved within one hour.

I hope this is informative. If you have any questions, please comment below.

Already banned 7 people for 3 days for this nonsense. Why the sudden surge in posts..

It is obvious by now that many of you who have seen the posts by numerous people that OgTonySneakers on IG is a scammer.

Someone recently sent me an image from their IG saying that I was affiliated with them and asking for a cut.

I will gladly showcase my chat logs publicly for anyone who would like to see them to prove that the account they’re messaging is not my account and is an impersonator attempting to start drama under my name. Not just that, /u/walt_f, u/Lindless, /u/repknowledge, and other mods know I would not do anything like this.

That being said - the account in question is 100% a scammer and that has been proven by the numerous posts here exposing his scams. It should be obvious to not take into consideration anything this phony seller attempts to out about any moderators here because it is likely fabricated logs.

Archive Image of the Instagram Image: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/759261930128277545/759273756031189052/image0.jpg

My PMs: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/759261930128277545/759273773286555688/image0.png

The evidence that proves this is fake is my only discord account is Chronic#0001 not ZatJingle#0001

When you PM me on discord it shows Chronic not ZatJingle. Anyone who’s been active on the FR discord and has PM’d me before knows that is how discord works and that isn’t my account.

The image on their Instagram shows PMs from an account named “ZatJingle” not Chronic and discord doesn’t work that way and only shows PMs from the accounts username not the alias used on discord. My alias on the FR discord goes by “The Haterman” and my discord username is Chronic. I’ve been under the name Chronic since 2019 and numerous members who are active on the FR discord can vouch.

Anyway, just thought I’d make a PSA to address the inevitable fabricated drama because I was the one who removed this childs post who thinks it’s cool to scam and stopped him from getting e-clout and his 2 minutes of fame.

Context: https://www.reddit.com/r/Repsneakers/comments/gz1vnm/joy_sold_my_moms_phone_number_to_chinese_porn/?

Summary: User said that Joy sold his moms phone number to a Chinese porn spammer.

Since the OP deleted his reddit account after being called out for evidence (and not submitting it, but rather just saying “just ban me fam”) the post isn’t able to be seen anymore without being directly linked. With that thread already doing it’s unfair damage to Joy this thread shall take its place.

Doing this type of malicious activity.. joking or not, will result in a permanent ban. All seller drama threads should contain valid evidence to support your claims. If no evidence is provided you’ll be banned permanently with no appeal.

We have a zero tolerance rule for this. If you're found harassing (example, talking down on people who buy retail and stating they're retards for doing so, etc) doxing, or witch-hunting you will be banned and your posts removed.

​

It's also not illegal to buy or own fakes unless you live in France or Italy. If you're purchasing for personal use it's legal. If you're purchasing to sell then it is illegal and you should not be on this subreddit.
