Thanks for the comparison pictures. Appreciate it.i'm not going to go with the majority here and say real yet, but definitely get more pics....tagged pics....four things concern me..Real or fake?
I got offered these for some trades I have aligned up.
1. the shape of the whole toe box area and/or overall shape looks off to me
2. the back of the shoe looks off by that pic
3. the seller sent u pics not showing the swoosh(swoosh is a big tell)
4. why does the color match these reps, almost to a T
here are some snapshots of my pair that i tried to match the angle of the ones in that pic....
your good bro they are authentic
^ authentic
Accompanied my brother and made a Looooooong trip to compete in the "Villa Re-Fresh" scavenger hunt in Chicago.
We entered trying real hard to be optimistic.
250 people were allowed to enter....
Started at about 8:30am and ended at about 10:30pm (including the announcing of the winners and purchases)
I know some of you guys will bring up how all that time invested is money and we could just have paid a re-seller and came out the same etc... But I did it because my brother missed out, is a broke student, and this was his last chance at retail. Wasn't going to let him make the trip to Chicago alone so I agreed to go with him...
About 150 out of the 250 registered participants ended up showing up the morning of.
The scavenger hunt consisted of 3 "Legs" (phases)
All had pretty challenging questions to solve.
After the 1st phase my brother and I were in about 60th place... :x
It was pretty challenging for Chicago Natives, so you can Imagine how it was for us Out of state people. There was also people there from Philly, DC, Cleveland, etc.
We both had a look of defeat when they told us that, lol. But I had already told him that before hand that no matter what we were not quitting. Didn't make that long trip to just give up... Kept it moving and trying.
As prizes they had a pretty good selection... Both AY2's, MV Lebron IX's, Concords, Various Foams, IV's etc... But EVERYONE was obviously there for the Yeezy 2's...
Met some good people and overall had a great time...
Below is what me and my brother got after a LOOOOONG day of work..
Ended up in 6th and 7th place overall.
Woke up this morning and had a DM from @paranorman telling me I won a pair of FOAMS!
Great week so far so we decided to stay and party in the CHI until Sunday.
Sorry for the long read...
Congrats man. Incidentally, I was one of the winners of the NYC "Chasing Calvin" Contest this morning at Niketown NYC and won the Megatron Swag Bag -- signed jersey, limited edition sneaker (only thirteen made), Madden 13, gloves, Fuel band ice, tickets to NFL Photoshoot day, etc..
I lost about 20 pounds in sweat, but it was worth it.
Ha, I didn't even notice that. Maybe copyright issues where they had to make it look different? Don't know.
Rather have won the Air Yeezy 2's though...

not soundwave. its a custom logo for Calvin. Looks like a football players helmet with a visor and a face guard, and it says "CG 81" on the top of the head. CleverWhat's up with them using soundwave on the box instead of megatron?

are you really nitpicking on this? megatron is the leader of the decepticons. as far as i know, they all dont have individual logos and the logo above on the box looks like a great hybrid of the decepticon logo and football helmet.looks like they just ripped off soundwave! should of used something that atleast resembled megatron...
anyways hate to get off topic but tf was a HUUGE part of my childhood.
