Did they ever make fakes of the Defining Moments pack? Especially Jordan XI? And if they did were they rampant?
JORDAN XI DMPS???????

there are more fake DMP's than you think. i guarantee there are twice as many fakes than legit, if not more. overall shape of the shoe, carbon fiber,spacing of the 23, patent cut, texture of the jumpman on the upper back, etc. those are all ways to decipher legit/fake.

yeah there are fakes, they were all over ebay just after release time, very easy to spot if you know what XI's are supposed to look like.

Yeah DMP fakes are running around but not as bad as the other jordan shoes. i.e. XIs, XIIIs, VIIIs,..

to everyone saying fake DMPs are not rampant you are WAY OFF. like any 11 there are way more fakes in circulation than real, for the DMP this is probably moretrue.
One of the easiest ways to tell the difference is the J O R D A N on the lace loops of the 11. If you see those, 99% chance you are looking at fakes. Very fewauthentic DMPs have the lettering on them. I'm not saying its impossible, but if you are not real sure about detecting fakes and you see JORDAN written onthe side, the safe thing to do is pass because they are probably fakes.
Other key factors were listed already, 23 on the back should be spaced with the space lined up to the ball in the jumpman's hand. Jumpman should be goldand both face the same direction (which makes the one "backwards") carbon fiber should be fibery black and painted gold, fakes will usually just be asmooth piece of checkered plastic.
edit - also check the tags, 11 should have the date below the barcode with the numbers touching the bars. The 6s have the newer tags with the date above thebarcode. (I may have mixed those two up, but im too lazy to open mine up, Im pretty sure i got those right). Make sure the font on those tags look like yourother jordans.

The patent leather is a dead giveaway. They crease and dont shine like the real ones, lighter than normal and fall apart. The ankels you break may be yourown wearing fakes on the court.

Great response.
The carbon fiber is always a dead giveaway with the XI's.

And va Gatts, that is where you are wrong. there was a display series that were samples that were released to outlets with the JORDAN going down the laces.They were marked as samples and discontinued. There are fakes like this as well though do not get me wrong but this is not a dead givaway. I got ripped off afew times with 11's and decide to study the fakes hard, so I know what I am talking about. I have taken the fakes apart,the first dead giveaway is thecarbon fiber, the jump man is not gold, then the inner tag, then the box it came in.
It is true, you lean something new everyday.

I've actually been looking to buy a 2nd DMP pack on ebay recently, and there are definitely more fake packs than real ones on there. You know it'sreally bad when certain owners of them don't even know they are fake and claim they are authentic. I'm talking about people with 100% feedback. But ifyou have the info in this thread, you should be able to tell what is real and what is fake.

For every legit pair of Carmines, I've seen 2 pairs of fakes on ebay.
