Interesting, well if they are truly fake then that's piss poor authentication from StockX. Hopefully customer service isn't too much of a hassle, keep us updated.

Definitely will do. I'm just thankful these were my double up and I had a reference pair. Honestly, if it weren't for the lace bag issue raising a flag, I probably would've put these straight to feet since I assumed Stock X was able to spot all fakes of a shoe as ubiquitous as Royal 1s.

Well, the seller could have cut off that bag to take IG pictures and then turned around and sold them. Some people are like that. Curious what else makes you think they are true fakes, as we all know 1s don't come flawless. People had differences between retail pairs from different foot stores.

Yeah true, the size of the heel box was what did it for me. I looked at other pics and videos of legit pairs online and none of the boxes look like what Stock X sent me. Maybe it is a manufacturer defect but if this was your pair would you take a chance? I wanted these to wear and I don't want to potentially embarrass myself by wearing fakes.

I know it sounds silly, but do they pass the smell test? If it's minor discrepancies in QC, but they have that same strong glue smell... good chance they're real.

I'll let other guys that are more expert reply here, but that stitching looks decent to me. Knock-offs generally have much more visible flaws, no matter who good they may have become. But I know some dudes here just know this stuff in and out.

Yeah I agree. All shoes will always have little inconsistencies from pair to pair. With hundreds of thousands of pairs being made by thousands of different workers there's definitely going to be differences.

People won't be able to help you with these pictures. If you have a smart phone, and I assume you do,. Up close pictures of toe box, tongue, Air Jordan logo and take pictures outdoors not in a dimly lit room, smh..

At this point, a legit check thread needs to be created.

Sorry, I'm done-I think Stock X either sent me REALLY good fakes or B-grades. Either way, I'm not going to be able to return these so they are either going in the trash (if they're fake) or sitting in the closet if they are B grades, I'll use the LC thread to confirm either way.

^keep in mind these where some of the worst aj1 recently as far as QC goes. my left and right shoes differ in so many ways. i can not bring myself to unds them because the are off on materials, shape, sole, pretty much everything.

Yeah this release reminds me of why people are flocking to Adidas.. This was arguably JB's most hyped GR release of the year and they STILL managed to drop the ball with QC.

You might want to find out what b grades are before labeling something as such.

Please enlighten me how my shoes aren't B grades. If they aren't B grades, they are likely fakes.

Please explain what they are then, they are significantly worse quality than my Eastbay pair.

When I first emailed them they said they were certain these weren't fakes but they said the pair might have manufacturing defects (hence why I mentioned they might be B grades). I requested a return and they did not respond to me.

Royals look fine to me, shiiiiii I don't even have consistency with my left and right shoe. Pairs gone vary like banneds.

Dude is crying over nothing; my Banned have two different toe boxes and overall shapes but their legit. Each shoe of my Jordan's have been different since I bought some 8s back in 2007. Ain't nothing new
