I found a guy who's selling some shoes. I'm buying peapod 8's, and Olive 5's from him and I know those are legit. I don't have much experience with the all 3m 5's though and I'm not sure if the Columbia's were OG or a retro. I was just looking for some confirmation. Thanks in advance.
*edit* I'm new to this and messed up on the pictures, working on it now

All pairs pictured are legit -The Columbia XIs are the 2001 retros (Jumpman has a split in crotch)
 
Hopefully you can make it out from these pics, but to show what I mean, here's an easy way to differentiate between OGs and retro XIs:

All OG XIs had a flat stitched Jumpman...

On all subsequent XIs, the Jumpman is stitched with a slight curve between his legs...
 
All legit, and another way to eyeball the 11's is the massive difference in amount of patent leather used on the original vs. 2001's
