Air Jordan 5 Laney Legit check ASAP please

Is that a kids size or something?

I'm on my phone, but those look fake. Then again, they'd be pretty awesome fakes.

There is no box foot on the outsoles jumpman.

The stitching is kinda funky in certain spots.

The toeboxs are bad

The 23 on one of the shoes is crooked

The jumpman on the tongues has some really short arms

Biggest problem is the boxfoot on the outsole jumpman.

Get pictures of the size tag!Also, those clear side panels are suspiciously icey. And the toes box lip is usually pretty yellow by now. Also, they should have oval laces. And the lace locks should have Nike on them. I have 2 pair of these and both have yellowed toeboxs
 
If these are a men's size, I'd say fake.

The shape is off. The toe box looks all jacked up even though it's been worn, the jumpmen look off and incorrect. Especially on the tongue. That last side picture is the one that really sets me off to them being fake due to the shape.

The moment I saw these I knew they were fakes here's why

- toe box the leather cut is inconsistent

- "23" as mentioned is crook it

- the "jumpman" on the heel is inconsistent, plus they're too small for men sz13

- "jumpman" on the sole is suppose to be blue not black on your picture *unless is the lighting or something*

- the date on the tag doesn't touch the barcode
 
Boom!

FAKE baby!

Those are damn good fakes. All of the colors are correct, and its just the minor details that leave you scratching your head. If you seem some of the fake laneys i've come across over the years, you'd think those are good too!

Had to chime in since 5s are one of my favorite. lol
 
I can see about 95% of the people on here are very uneducated when it comes to jordans they are authentic the jumpman on the bottom is always going to be identical in any release and the jumpman on the bottom is the giveaway ive been in the game for a wile and the 23 isnt stiched together has nothing to do with shape idk about all these people but these are legit
 
And idk who the person who said that but the date isnt never supose to touch the barcode period and for every jordan up to 2004 isnt gonna show the beginning to end manufacturing date
 
Fake. Most obvious reason (along with all of them reasons already stated above) is the part of the shoe inside the air bubble is yellow on these, which is not the case on authentic pairs.

for all you people that don't know , the 2000 release DID come with a YELLOW air unit. Most people don't realize this b/c the sneaker is 15yrs old and most pics out there show a FOGGED air unit. GOOGLE "sneaker magazine year 2000" and you will find them. I also own a pair that is size 7 and has YELLOW air unit. They're 100% authentic. (My pair) the jumpman on soles DO have the "brick

I concur with the last statement, the 2000 release white royal maize (which is pronounced wrong usually) maize means " CORN" in spanish , DID have the YELLOW air unit. That guy that tried to say it did NOT probably is going off the fogged joints and a site that shows them with out yellow unit. So....they also made them with a different "23" back in 2000. Its shape is different. Hard to explaim but its like more boxier and sharper lines. But they are 100% authentic, now this guys shoe from the picture is suspect, i dont know if its the camera angle but i dont see the "brickfoot" on these it looks pointy. Ill try and put up some pics from back in day
