Sup NT. quick question that probably gets asked about alot. My question is about shoes and their manufacture dates. Is it normal for a pair to have a left and right shoe not match their dates? Contemplating buying some cool grey 4s but the dates don't match. Does that mean their fake or is there a problem with the shoes?

Could be something as simple as someone picking and matching when they bought them originally. My infrared pack had different production dates and as far as I know I was the only person that touched them since they were still sealed in the bags when I bought them on release day (the white pair differed from the black and one of them had the new style tag with the jumpman). Ask some questions to the seller, if they give you a sketchy answer then you have something to worry about.

Its not uncommon.

I wouldn't worry about it unless one of the dates is well after the original production run(ie 2011 jams).

This happened to my '09 Space Jams that I bought from Footlocker.
They are 100% authentic.

It is normal. It happened to some of my sneakers as well and they are 100% authentic.

Definitely common for 100% legitimate shoes. This does not necessarily mean they are real, but it's NOT a reason for them to be fake.

good to know all this info, I have done that myself, but I never thought that it would be uncommon. Thanks NT
