I know y’all have seen this video…I actually reposted it the other day…I found it very interesting at which the speed this ‘professional authenticator’ from @ebay or @sneakercon authenticated a pair of shoes…this person clearly knows what she’s doing and she at least makes it *appear* that she’s seen a hundred pairs of these so far…but…
How does one *authenticate* a shoe that doesn’t *officially* exist? A shoe that is currently undefined by the public…how can anyone claim to authenticate that with any sort of authority?
I know that companies produce shoes and I know that typical rollout from inception to release date is around 18 months…and depending on speed of manufacture, that can leave a pretty big window between the time a shoe is finished and waiting in storage and actually public release date.
I know that this is like a dumb question and I really do get hung up on it and maybe I shouldn’t, but it seems to me that this is an important point that just gets glossed over by the powers that be…am I just arguing semantics?
Yo @sneakerpreservationsociety - what do you think about them authenticating a Trainer 1 (redux) that hasn't yet released?
(Embedded RFID chips tied to a blockchain fixes this, y’all)
