GM. Fake.

Awfully close as far as the PL cut and shape of shoe.  But the icey sole is a dead giveaway.

 They're getting better.  Thing that concerns me is in a couple of years when the these soles start to yellow its going to be nearly impossible to distinguish real vs. GM.

I was in China a few years ago and was checking out some shoe stores. They had Jordan 11's selling for cheap like $80USD. It felt fake but couldn't pinpoint what the issue was. Talked to my cousin who owns a few factory and turns out, many factories who lose contract to Nike simply source their own materials and continue to make them and sell them. Can you really consider that "fake"

Yes, it is 100% fake.  If it isn't purchased from a legitimate Nike retailer or made in an approved Nike facility it is considered counterfeit.

That's tough to distinguish. If it wasn't for the cheap price, I wouldn't have even have a hunch.

bc you are not trained how to spot the fakes.. I bet they had fake written all over them.. Now in this case I believe the Concords pictured are a Early Release pair. I would need more pics to be 100%).. Short prod date and in Jun-Jul.. IMO those pix are 3yrs old. This is not the exact pair you will receive..

Fake baseball cards are made from cardboard and ink too.. 10000% fake to any collector.. Now if you just wanna rock some close looking Js(that will have tells) it is what it is.

IMO these guys use what they can as far as "authentic" material and just wing the rest with whatever look close..The fakes even good ones have their tells.
