First off, you see Chloe, right? Fancy brand. We’re talking chic sandals, maybe some suede boots that probably cost more than my rent, stuff you’d see on, like, a celebrity strolling through Milan. But *then* you throw in “overrun stock” and suddenly, the whole picture gets a little…murkier.
Alibaba pops up too. Now, Alibaba, bless its heart, is where you go when you want, like, a thousand phone cases for $5. It’s not exactly synonymous with luxury, y’know? So, seeing it mentioned alongside “Chloe” sets off alarm bells and makes me think, “Wait, what’s goin’ on here?”
My guess? (And this is just me, throwin’ my two cents in, okay?) is that these “overrun stock” Chloe shoes are probably…well, they’re probably *supposed* to be Chloe, but maybe they’re, like, the extras? The ones that didn’t pass quality control perfectly? Or maybe they’re from a season nobody bought, so they’re trying to get rid of ’em wholesale to cut their losses. Kinda like that weird clearance rack at Nordstrom Rack, but online and probably even sketchier.
And look, I’m not judging! Everyone loves a good deal. I mean, if you can snag a pair of legit Chloe sandals for, like, a fraction of the price because they’re “overrun,” go for it! But you gotta be *reaaaaaally* careful. Like, inspect those things under a microscope when they arrive. Because there’s a pretty good chance you might be gettin’ something that’s, shall we say, “inspired by” Chloe. Or maybe just straight up fake.
The whole “StockX Verified Chloe” thing adds *another* layer. StockX is supposed to be all about authenticating stuff, right? So, if you’re buying from them, you’re theoretically safe. But then you gotta wonder, are *those* the ones that *weren’t* overrun? Like, were they the official launch that didn’t sell? Or are they just “real” because they’re, like, from the official company but just the extras?
