Better picture of the 23's and the thing that bugs me the most about these is the dark writing on the paper in the box, could be just the lighting... Wait on more opinions tho.
There are authentic early releases but very rare... Only authentic ones I've seen was like from finish line and foot action when the employee slips one under the rug couple weeks pre release. I've never heard of any factory workers stealing the shoes but as in any job I'm sure there are workers...
lol I mixed the 2 up it was the other way around... But on 2nd look the back looks good heel cut looks low and the AIR seems just right. as far as I know on the gm's the heel cut is high and the A has a pretty big space between it and the elephant print as in the picture above. I would still...
Not to mention, the early release Pantones and Legend Blues were changed like 4 times within 1-2 months. Four improved versions came out as it comes closer to their release.
Indeed, I get where you are coming from and I acknowledge that these materials might not be the same materials but I'm not 100% positive they aren't the same materials since I haven't actually seen the materials... I'm not saying these shoes are authentic, I myself, acknowledge the shoes as fake...
