im going with fakes, pantone 11's did not come with checkered paper
on the second pic looks like the oval laces are much fatter than the retail pairs
if these pics are coming from the same seller, i would stay away
those are fakes, shape of toebox is horrible, tongue is too short, incorrect size/price sticker, should not have the jordan wing logo anywhere on the box
fakes
- wrong box
- poor stitching
- cut is too low, shape is off
- the square box around the jumpman logo on the heel tab should be white, not red
- JUMPMAN on the heel tab should be black
fakes
shape is off
netting should not be shiny
tongue is flimsy - it should be more stiff, longer, and red from the inner tongue should outline border of the tongue
wrong box - lid should not be attached to the box
now that you mentioned the stitching, after looking carefully at the 5th picture, the diagonal stitching that runs from the beginning of the sock liner down to the elephant print is not uniform with the rest of the stitching on the upper. The entire stitching on the upper should be consistent...
based on the pictures, they look good to me
the only thing that's throwing me off is the production dates
the dates on all the pairs that i own ranges from 09/12 to 12/12
ex. two pairs that i have are dated 09/12/12 and 12/13/12
to me they look legit, but just to be sure we may need...
