Looks ok from my eye test. What are your concerns?

They look good to me. Tongue shape and height seem good, leather seems right, side netting seems to be slanted correctly and the jumpman on the outsoles look correct. I’d say your good here. Even the air units appear to be correct and have the correct color.

The stitching on the 23 looks sketchy, the jumpman on the sole looks different and the jumpman stitching on the tongue seems off. This is my first pair of 5s so I dont know if these are normal with them.
I appreciate the time to look from you both.

I agree with you on the 23 stitching looking off especially on the number three but everything else looks good to me so I was chalking that up to a factory defect or inconsistency. What exactly do you mean the Jumpman on the sole looks off ? What doesn’t look right to you ? And the stitching on the tongue ? I took a few pics of mine as I felt the outsoles looked very similar and a reference of the stitched 23. As a side note I put 3M on the outsoles to try and keep them clean. I’m a little on the OCD side but just wanted to mention it in case you noticed it and wondered what it was.

The stitching on the tongue looks squiggly I guess you could say

Oh ok. I see what you mean. I’ve seen authentic Jordans with some pretty horrendous stitching. Jumpman included. While this isn’t ideal and I totally understand that because I’m on the OCD side myself and would love a perfect pair every time it just unfortunately doesn’t happen. I’d still say these are legit.
