Legit Check: Red October Nike Air Yeezy 2

[twon744]

Hello NT.  I need a legit check on these yeezys.  The main concern is that the dust bag only has 2 lace tips, and no leather lace locks.  Is it true that some pairs that Nike shipped didn't come with the locks on the dust bags?  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No Yeezy expert but the last pic (I'd say a rep) doesn't seem to be the same shoe as the one on all other pics (that look legit to me). You might want to have a second opinion though.

i appreciate the response. i took the pics, haha. so its all good.  honestly the quality and everything seem good. im just wondering mostly about the drawstring locks on the dust bag.  i thought there were supposed to be leather locks as well as 4 gold tips.  but mine only have 2.  thanks!

Yes the bag should have a lace lock. Also the tongue and box label look off. Most RO's also have a lot of excess glue around the mid sole while yours have almost none.

Thx for the reply. What looks off on the label ?

Also noticed that, now I see what exactly. The fonts seem to be slightly off. The top line letters appear to be a fraction too high and too much spacing. The colour description and the 'MADE IN' text are too thick (and also look too high).

The 9.5 also looks too narrow and too high but the most obvious thing is its left alignment, I'm pretty sure it should be indented about half an inch from the left.

Please post a clear picture of the size label inside the shoe.

Sorry, had to use my crappy phone bc the other pics came out blurry

 

[twon744]

Do you have a real box label that i can compare it to?

 

[modus47]

That inside label looks good to me but like I said I'm no Yeezy expert.

I had a look at other sizes, they all have an indented size text.

 

[twon744]

I really appreciate the help. Yeah, i notice that indent, but i  wonder if thats a big deal or not.  Bc this label is legit and does not have the size indent.

 

[modus47]

That's only because of the width of that particular text. Look at the YE of the YEEZY text above. Imagine a line straight down from between those 2 letters, that's about the center line of the size text blocks. Those text blocks are center aligned on that line, so if there's only 1 digit (a 7 or an 8 or a 9) then the indent will be a bit larger than on this 9.5 I posted.
Take a look at a few other sizes to see this.

Looks like you bought yourself a pair of new HQ reps. Go get your money back. Here is a post from a few days back of a pair of reps almost identical to yours.

Thanks for the input. Can anyone else cosign?

 

[twon744]

A couple more isses.  Are the lace locks supposed to be suede? mine are leather.  And is the code on every RO  supposed to be the same under the midsole? Mine ends in "LAW" which i believe to be incorrect.

Yeah that pair isn't real for the following reasons:

- tongue is off (from the last pic of the first post)

- not sure about the label but lacelock missing from the dust bag is a fishy sign

- also something I noticed is the numeral number on the back of the lacelock is way too big, it almost touches the laces whereas it should be smaller and less visible than this.

 

[twon744]

Yeah,  I noticed that as well. The wholes were punched thru the numeral.  Thank you for your reply.

those look fake to me.  lace tips don't look like they screw off and that box is way too small and crushed, signs that it was shipped from China

 

[kicksshoes]

thank you

 

[raphp]

Tongue is totally off they are fake

no disrespect i would have to say these are fake .. cut off triangles around the swoosh and edges , no R is at the end of the letters when you take off the insole, tag is too embossed, and prod on legit pairs arent in 2014, and roman numeral is way off on lace lock just from what i can see
