people saying they look good or legit need better monitors, their eyes checked or some sleep.top pair legit.just look at this pic. top pair is longer and look like a normal shape of a sneaker.bottom ones are supposed to be the SAME SIZE 9.5 but look real "chubby" PL is way too high on the second bump/wave.right pair legit.another dead give away. sloppy threads hanging out over the top of the PL stitch. waves/bumps are too narrow. too close to each other. right one legit.again, the back wave/bump of the PL is too far toward the back of the shoe. the shape is off. second bump/wave is too high once again. thing is damn near halfway up the shoe. legit on rightagain, shape is totally off. its got a huge curve to the entire shape of the sneaker whereas the legit is straight. toe cap looks messy as hell, too. also, the "chubby" look is back again, this time from the front. they look extremely wide.man, if yall can't see that shape, idk what to say anymore. look at how short that toe box is on the MK pair. it looks like a stubbed toe or something. shape shape shape. they are sz 9.5 but look like 8.5Legit pair on bottomthis one is the most noticeable. top one is a darker blue(concord) white dot on the heel under the sole is hella off. a lot! jumpman and EVERYTHING under the sole is very white and appears clear. whereas the legit sole's jumpman and white dots appears a little blurry. white dot on the heel is centered... they look legit... if your stressing that much put them on ebay for 300 they will sell real quick... im sure mad people looking for a pair would be happy with them

All my pairs from US and UK have a begining production date of 7/12/11 or 7/13/11 and end in september or october. The carbon fiber and patent leather cuts all vary with each shoe. not even the same when you compare the left and right shoe of a pair. Even the shades of sole vary slightly. JB quality so shabby these days. There was a Nikestore pair that someone got, there was a split in the patent leather on the heel. was not even connected!!! Thats not a legit pair then right? from Nikestore?Are we actually saying that too high of PL cut is not legit? Cant believe that BS. We always strive for high PL cuts on our pairs. The patent leather cut on the MK pair actually looks a lot better. Check your production dates. Whatever they may be. Its hit or miss with Jordans nowadays no matter where you buy from. I got some bad pairs, and good pairs from all that i purchased

I'd rather have a higher PL cut then a low one. I had got a pair of sz 11 on release and traded for a 10.5 to a friend. The cut on my sz 11 was so high I was a lil sour I traded. Then I noticed that on my 10.5 pair one cut was just slightly higher than the other shoe. Im still 1000% satisfied none the less. Just wanted to say i'd take a higher cut of pl anyday. Peace to the sneakergods.
