They look good to me. The PL looks right, the yellowing around the pods, the 23 as well looks good, milky toe, the pointed phylon midsole on the back. I think youre good man, wait for another member to confirm tho
 
100% legit 11' concords fam!!!

- Correct black patent leathers & white smooth leather uppers with white mesh uppers/tongues, & black/white contrast stitching along the uppers (should be)
- Correct white phylon midsoles which end at slight points when ending at the opaque/milky toe caps (should be)
- Correct black sock liners & insoles with a white jumpman & size tag sticker just above (should have a concord jumpmam on the quality inspired tongue tags behind the tongues)
- Correct jumpman jordan lace tags between the 3rd lace columns, with black contrast stitching along the lace tags
- Correct 6 laceloop/columns (lows only have 5) & top lace column is positioned below the black sock liners (should be)
- Correct double black contrast stitching on the patent leather's & double white contrast stitching along the white smooth leather near the heel (should be)
- Correct shorten toe box/patent leather cuts (og's & 00's have a longer wider toe box/patent leather cuts)
- Correct points on the midsoles/outsiles which are perfectly centered/aligned with the dip of the patent leather on heels (should be)
- Correct translucent outsoles with slight yellowing around the concord traction pads, & correct white off centered jumpmans (should be)
- Correct black woven carbon fibers & white pods are perfectly aligned under the outsoles
- Correct rounded black cloth heel tabs, correct fonts on the 23's & ball of the white jumpmans appear to be aligned between the # gaps (should be, might vary though)
- Correct box, embossed 23, msrp size tags, style code # & correct placement of the size tags on sides of the mesh lining
 
Can I ask what's the difference between b grades and gms
B-grades are shoes that did not pass quality control and are sent to outlets due to various cosmetic flaws. They are still 100% authentic and pass through normal retail channels.

GM's are unauthorized pairs made with authentic materials that do not pass through legitimate retail channels. Although they are "authentic" in terms of the material used, they are NOT sanctioned by Nike and produced without their consent.

Let's stick to facts here..there is no proof that they are made from the same quality materials..in fact many times they are not..

And that's where you get into the distinction between GM's and flat out fakes. It's gotten increasingly difficult to tell the differences by pics on the computer, which is why it's best to stay away altogether.
 
Well the patent leather on the 11's I posted doesn't look smooth in person. could they be gm??

Yes, let's stick to the facts please. Not that same materials, similar materials.
