2018 concord legit check - ignore this. Found out they are fake

deewiz · Jan 2, 2020

Got these from eBay seller Zadehkicks. Their feedback looked good but when they showed up I felt like the box was light. Comparing them to my 2019 playoffs that I got from Nike, the jumpman is off. The tongue tag seems low too. Anyone out there with legit concords that can post a pic of the jumpman for me?

These are confusing me really. The Jumpman are horribly stitched I agree but are close to being properly placed. The outsole shade of blue looks light and correct along with the pl cut height. Are you talking about the Jumpman Jam being too low. Because mine are like that also but came from Eastbay.
Show picks of the backs of the shoes please.

I have 2 pair. One from Finish Line and one from Eastbay And I can definitely see slight differences with both. This is my pair from Finish Line. As JRepp said definitely post pictures of the back. Other angles wouldn’t hurt either. Front/toe caps, 3rd spacing tag or tongue tag etc.

Greg Surels Thanks for your responses. The seller is adamant that they are real but he is also willing to take the return. I sent them back. They just had a few too many things wrong with them for me to be confident.

I used this video to match these up to the factory B.

The jumpman stitching, the tongue seemed short, and the toe box looks too rounded. That image above - is that one of each pair or the same pair? Those look quite different.
Thanks guys.

That’s actually one pair right there (from Finishline) that’s not one from each pair and I don’t remember if it was this pair or my Eastbay pair but I noticed that one shoe is slightly shorter than the other. The pair that came from Eastbay also have lighter blue outsoles than the pair pictured above. Jordan brand let’s some real obvious stuff slide through QC. My 2019 bred 11’s had a white haze all over the patent leather when I picked them up from my raffle win. It was so obvious that there’s no way you couldn’t notice it. I luckily got it off but it was really weird that something that obvious would get past QC.

That is insane. To me they obviously were not climate protected at all taking the trip across the pond. Glad you got that **** off though.
Midsole looked good though?

You really should post that in the playoff thread. Maybe this is why so many had a delay in receiving their pairs. IDK.
Raffle from where?

Isn’t it ? I couldn’t believe what I was looking at the second I saw them.

Thanks man, I’m glad I did too. I had to use a chamois and some Jason Markk cleaner and that seemed to take care of it. Midsole, outsole and pretty much every other area looked perfect and as expected. I forgot to mention that on one shoe the inside panel was the way it should be and the rest had that haze. And the other shoe was covered with that haze. Weird.

So weird but yeah good call, I’ll definitely post in the playoff thread. The raffle win was from Finishline. The funny thing was the morning of release when I was going to pick up my pair I had in mind that I was going to give them a quick look at the register and then somehow didn’t think of it when I was at the damn register. I’ll definitely be giving any and all pairs won via raffle a once over before paying and taking possession from now on after this BS.
