Londons?! Oh Hell...




It's ya boy Tigga Tigga here with...The Fake Report. And this time, I've stumbled across something disturbing. This is downright pathetic. But first, let me drop a gem on you. One of my favorite sneakers, bar none, is the Nike Dunk Low SB London.

First spotted on the web site of Paris' Opium Crew. Like the Paris, Tokyo, and NYC SB's, this pair represents one of the globe's largest metropolises - a dynamic city whose sneaker culture is well respected on the world stage.
Embroidered on the heel panel of this SB is The River Thames, a 200-mile waterway so central to and intertwined with the England's past that it has been described as "Liquid History."
Its one of the White City Dunk Series and were only available in Foot Patrol London. 202 pairs exsistence in the world. Here that, 202 pairs. It would cost you $1,000 plus dollars to buy a authentic pair of Londons, off of vintagekicks or some other reputable site. For those that live under a rock, check the pics of the actual shoe.

A gem of a shoe. And yes, they have been FAKED!!!

I gotta ask this question. If you had a chance to buy a real pair, (like they are floating everywhere to buy), would you? Especially if you can go to the local swap meet and catch a shady ass brother yelling out, "Just $15.00" for these?

The fucked up thing is, you could be fooled by the quality of this knockoff from afar. I had to actually hold these in my hands to see the slight inconsistencies. You get a silver Nike SB box too, with labels. Just watch out for that Jack Purcell thin insole (glued in, non-removable)if you decide to buy. But hey, you can cop quite a few zoom air insoles & an outfit to match with the $985 bucks you saved buying that bootleg shit. The sole should fall right off the first time you wear them. (Smh)

Until next time, it's Tigga Tigga signing off...with The Fake Report.
