LC White Cement IV Please

[northwestfresh]

I bought these via invoice on eBay. The seller had 100% feedback with 600+ transactions.

I just want to be sure these aren't fake/GM.  I haven't received the shoes yet, but these are the pictures posted on eBay.

Thanks in advance! Will Rep.

These look good so far.  The tongues aren't choppy and the stitching looks good.  Can you post a picture of the TWENTYTWELVE engraving on the side of the tongue?

Thanks you. Haven't recieved them yet. Can anybody else help?

There are couple of things that don't seem right to me. I'm no expert on the newer 4s, but I do have retail pairs in hand.

First, the heel tabs should extend further than what is pictured. Mine stick up a good half inch above the back of the heel.

Second, the shade of red on the box tag should be darker. It might just be the camera.

Last, I can't really see the "air jordan" tags on the inside of the tongue. Again this may be the camera or angle.

I'll try to post pics of mine shortly.

Hopefully others will chime in.

Thanks, but here is a picture of the back I forgot to post. It shows the tab and jordan in the tongue.

Here are the pics of the heel tab and the box tag.

The shot of the box tag in your pic may just be the light, because after looking at my pic, they look more similar.

EDIT: Just saw the pic of the, "Air Jordan" tag.

Like I said before, I don't know the signs for GM 4s, just trying to help via comparison.

Maybe others can help with the heel tab discrepancy.

Heel Tab (See how high it sticks up?):

Box Tag:

thanks so much for the pics @Beater4s  

Hopefully more can help. 

Is a widow peak on the toebox to those who know a sign of GM/Fake?

For the heel tab it's not a dead giveaway to spot fake pairs.

Some pairs will have it higher than others and I think it also depends on the shoe size.

Anyway your pair looks legit from the picture, please post a picture of the twentytwelve engraved on the inside of the tongue when you'll receive them, that's a dead giveaway to know if they are fake or not.

I wouldnt buy them until i seen that TWENTYTWELVE engraved on tongue.

For you guys asking for the "TWENTYTWELVE," how can you tell between the real and fake pairs?

I've seen previous LCs where people have mentioned that fakes have TWENTYTWELVE printed on the side of the tongue also.

I'm just asking for future reference.

OP, I wanted to mention that I checked 5 of my retail pairs from 2012 & 13(different stores & assorted colors), and they all had heel tabs the same height as the ones I posted.

Granted, 4 out of the 5 were size 11.  The last pair was an 11.5, but stll had the same height on the tab.

Like the others have said, post pics when you receive them.

EDIT:

Here is a 9.5 LC on some Fire Reds.  Check out the heel tab:

I know @agsz  has a picture of what the TWENTYTWELVE engraving looks like on legit pairs and fake pairs.

 

[ryanjumpman420]

The fake pairs have a very thinly written and theyre usually crooked, off centered and hardly engraved. The legit ones have more of a bold squared font and is engraved very deeply and is straight and evenly aligned. @From88til has a pic

Thanks guys! I will post pics when i get them and get a picture of that twentytwelve. Seller is confident that they're not fakes though. Hope he's right. Not too many LC checks of the white cements 4s on here and the ones that are fake you can tell pretty easily.

 

[beater4s]

Yeah OP, I think that you are good.

Sorry if I caused any panic.

I'll post a pic of the WC TWENTYTWELVE to help with comparison.

**** we see hella fake WC4s, tons of bootlegs of these out there big time and they usually aint easy to LC

 

[agsz]

WC4's engraving is a bit thinner I noticed, maybe on smaller sizes, but on a friends retail pair size 9.5, I noticed it was a bit thinner than my Bred 4's.

 

[northwestfresh]

@ryanjumpman420 maybe I wasn't typing the keywords correctly when searching for LC on white cement ivs.

 

[beater4s]

 

[northwestfresh]

@Beater4s  much appreciated for the pics

 

[agsz]

 

Repped. Cement 4's have a bit of a thinner engraving, this helped prove my point.

 

[northwestfresh]

got them in today! Here is the twentytwelve.

IMHO, the twentytwelve looks kinda crooked. On the real pairs, its supposed to be aligned with the stitching.
