What is Flight Club about?
Flight Club has been the most trusted source for people looking for limited and “rare” sneakers since 2005. Today it is considered as the world´s nr 1 sneaker marketplace. They also sell clothes and other accessories.
It was founded by the entrepreneur Damany Weir.
They are not only an online store but they got “real physical” stores in both New York and Los Angeles.
How does it work?
This is in short a place where you either buy sneakers or sell sneakers.
To sell your shoes it basically works like this:
1. You bring or send your shoes to Flight Club
2. They help you determine your sale prices, this is done with reasonable market values using the experience and extensive data.
3. They sell your shoes online, and in their New York and Los Angeles stores.
4. You receive a check for 80% of the final sale price once your shoes are sold. The rest of the money goes to Flight Club.
The products
For example Yeezy Boost that has been extremely popular the last couple of years by sneaker fanatics all around the world.
Limited shoes that should have been sold out?!
The person who sent me the mail about Flight Club was concerned with the fact that they had shoes that should have been sold out a long time ago as they are extremely limited. For example the Yeezy Boost sneaker shoes.
How can Flight Club continue to have the shoes in stock, month after month when there is such a high demand for the shoes?
The question made me think that it might actually be the case, I mean how hard can it be to make exact copies of a shoe and claim it to be the real deal?
On the other hand, what difference does it make if the shoe both looks and feels exactly the same as one that was made in the Adidas store in the first place and not in a “secret fabric” in China?
Personally, I wouldn´t care what so ever but I promised to make my best answering the question, I took a quick look on the official website of Flight Club and I noticed pretty quickly that:
Flight Club is not only selling, but they are also BUYING shoes.
That means that they can buy shoes from people who bought the “real deal” in the first place …and then sell them to its customers.
The question that I got from my reader when I told him that made me even more confused.
How come the price on some of the REAL shoes such as the Yeezy Boost isn’t higher when people sold real ones for a much higher price on eBay a couple of years ago.
I didn´t have an answer to that but I agree that it sounded a little bit strange…
What do you think?

Is Flight Club A Scam?
Keep in mind that they do NOT offer any refund, so once you have bought a product there is no going back.
Here are the exact words of their terms and conditions page:

If you are concerned about sizing for a particular style of shoe, please feel free to email us before your purchase. We will gladly provide you with the best information possible, but please note that comfort preferences vary for each person.

Why You Should (or should NOT) buy from Flight Club?
This is of course up to you, I mean if you are a fanatic you are a fanatic, right? I did a quick search on Google for some of the sneakers found on Flight Club and found both cheaper ones but also more expensive ones…
I guess a good idea (as always) is to do your research and read the reviews about the particular seller before buying anything.

Final words and Verdict
Verdict: Legit
Overall rating:
I think it is safe to say that Flight Club is legit and that you can be at least pretty sure to get the real deal ordering from them or shopping in one of their physical stores.
I give a solid 3,5 out of 5 stars as it offers aa lotto the one person that is really into the stuff the site offers, the reason the rating isn´t higher is mostly that of the no refund policy they got.
