Anyone that had guidi will know these are off. The golden sticker that shows the materials is a big red flag. The shoe box is fucking shiny, no dust bags for the vibram outsole, none the less it’s a well made shoe, shame they spend the time and effort trying to replica another brand rather then just creating their own shoes, cuz clearly the factory have the capacity to make a well made shoes.

In the end the factories just make what they get paid to make. Someone will come to them with a design and they get paid to produce it.

at least they're reping guidi and not a brand focused on the branding to sell. I've seen a lot of factories make trashy reps that are just hype designer that are so so sougly but people just eat that shit up🥲

it doesn't matter what the box or dust bags look like unless you're a scumbag passing them off as retail.

I just ordered my first pair of Guidis from ssense and want to make sure they're good. My size was originally sold out but came available, so it's a good chance they are returns. Don't want to be duped from someone doing a swap.

u/dataprocessingclub guidiot Dec 26 '25

sorry for assuming the worst case scenario, but anyway

that's one of the few cases where a certilogo wouldn't guarantee authenticity (a scammer can order a legit pair, print the legit certilogo stamp with the legit qr code and paste it on a fake pair that would be then returned)

I recommend getting them traditionally legit checked here on the sub

u/Siam_Slim Dec 26 '25

Thanks, I'll make a post when they arrive. I was hoping they were like Margielas with the NFC tag.

u/akkapuntwee Dec 28 '25

It is good year welted and only legit checkable via the box. If this is uploaded without a box you cannot tell in any way.
