1st pair:
Legit
$80-120

2nd pair:
Legit
$90-120 ....but you could probably add $10-20 for those, better condition & no yellowing on the toe-box area.

i wonder why the silvers in the shoes are diffrent shades and the stiching is kinda diffrent to..... u can tell clearly when u see it face to shoe **

Well, everything is on point on the first pair. even down to the toe box yellowing (which is an easy fix btw.).

The 2nd pair not only has a funny shape, but the stitiching is pretty bad. the pictures are very poor, so those 2 things are something that caught my eye rightaway. take a nice, close up, well lit picture of the shoe tag on the back of the tongue of the 2nd pair. that will tell for sure.

2nd pair looks fake to me.

I would've bid on those smh! Definitely the best fake 7sI've ever seen. But if Aphex says they're fake, then they are.

Ignore everything I said .....pc -$0.00

what is this easy fix that you speak of ?how can i get rid of that yellow ?

To get rid of the yellow, buy some very fine grit sandpaper, and get to work gently scrubbing the tip of the toebox. here are my non DS pair, that i started asa test. its obvious which one i did. Thats after just a few minutes of work. I'll get back to it and do it properly one day when i have time.

Here are some addition pictures now that i was at it of my pair.

I'm not saying without a shadow of a doubt that 2nd pair the OP posted are fake 110%, but they really dont look right at all to me. shoe tag will tell thewhole story though.
