Yeah, these arent legit. Besides the things u pointed out yourself, the toe cap isnt supposed to be see-through and the tag looks off as well
Edit-and the stickers on the box/the box itself is that of a fake
Fake. The soles shouldnt have a blue tint. The carbon fiber should be black...etc
Just look up an authentic pair and compare them. The differences will be clear.
No matter how big or small the pic is, you can clearly see the patent leather in the toe cap just as he admitted you could. I enlarged it anyway to be reasonable...
As for the tag, i do believe it is high. Either way, i mentioned earlier that it doesnt necessarily have to mean anything.
So...
And im 'just saying' too big dawg. You shouldnt be able to see through them like that, thats not something you would write off as poor quality control. On the other hand, maybe the high jumpman tag is but i dont need a pic with the laces in cuz technically it should line up with the 3rd lace...
Maybe ur right about the yellowing cuz im on my iphone and the pics are rather small but uh milky toe cap? I can see through it clear as day in the last pic. If u didnt want the truth u shouldnt have asked
Not legit. The 23 looks off, the toe cap is clear, there doesnt seem to be any yellowing, and i cant say for sure (cuz theyre not laced) but the jumpman tag looks a lil high
If the only difference was "authorization", we wouldnt be able to spot the differences between the two. But like i said before, i dont believe that theory even has a legitimate source to begin with. Thanks for the info guys...i know where i stand on this topic as of now
Lol, i know the theory. I want to know where it came from...why youre confident in it. 1,000 more pairs isnt all that much in the scheme of things but there are farrrrrr more pairs coming from unidentified sources than that anyway. So chances are theyre are way more people out there with fakes...
Where did this "unauthorized" theory originate? Can we really speak on it as fact? I think its BS, especially seeing as how there is seemingly an unlimited number of sellers with fsr everywhere u turn
I recently considered copping a pair of carmines as well. Decided against it though cuz i would be PISSED if i paid carmine money only for them to announce them releasing again and everybody have them soon after lol
