hey everyone needed some verification on authenticity...one of the socks was purchased on ebay and another was purchased from HOH in Texas by Deo and you can take a look at the differences....
just for starters the sock on the left is more narrow then the other...sock on the right is from HOH...see how they are both out the same length yet one you can see the elastic band already and the other you cannot
on this one you can see that the length is very different and the beginning portion of the sock is out the same length so the end portion of the sock should be the same length as well but as you can see it is a big difference
on this one it a little harder to see but font and everything seems to be the same but the only difference is on the HOH version is says "hecho in turquia" and the other says "fabricado en turquia" and on the bottom right the HOH version says "ege032010" and the other says "ege122009"...this seems to be possbily the manufacturing date so that may explain the differences but I'm not too sure...
finally as you can see the font color in the inside is two different colors...the HOH is all grey and the other pair is orange lining with grey font....
any opinions would be greatly appreciated...thanks guys...just want to make sure I didn't get ripped off by the ebay seller

Do be aware that Nike changed up the socks a bit from the original batch and this years batch..
the OGs were thicker, had more ankle padding, and were longer also a whole lot more durable/long lasting...
heres what i mean.. OG on the left.. this years on the right...

do the OG ones have the stripe in the back? because on those pictures I can't see it...both of mine do have the stripe in the back...and font and border on the inside where it says elite and the size are different colors...I guess they are just different production batches...anyone else able to compare two same pairs...in the pairs above it doesn't look like the portion of the sock that goes up your leg on the new one is "ribbed" why is that?

lol you dudes are funny. those are all legit. they have some variations on things, they have had these socks in production for a while.
the originals have about an inch and a half thick strip of anlke padding, the newer ones only have about a half inch...thats an example of one variation that was blatantly obvious to me.
anyways, broke out my white/purps on monday!

This long as hell thread has me buying into the hype, but I cannot ever bring myself pay that much for one pair of socks, so my question is, when the next foot locker friends and family 25% discount coupon comes out, can I go into a house of hoops and use it on a pair of these socks?
