So it came to my attention this week that for the 9th time I have had one of my custom designs faked and then mass produced. Originally when this began to happen way back I was furious and insulted but I have come to see it as a kind of backhanded compliment for my work and what it has accomplished.
That being said I do think that I have at least in some part a responsibility for making sure people who are after a Sekure D shoe get what they pay for and stay away from the fakes. It has got to the point now where they are bold enough to use customizers names on these fake websites as well as using my logo on the sides of the shoes much like they now do with my good friend SBTG.
Below is a compilation of some of what you need to steer away from. If you are not sure whether a site is legit or not, put it this way; my work is hand painted, if they have a custom with my name on it, in a full size range and for under $100 its not going to be authentic.
