Footlocker dude refused to let me take photos in the store. I explained that it was for a jersey forum etc. I swear to god tho, I held it in my own two hands and the 2015 LeBron James jerseys was triple tackle twilled like a $300 authentic

Yeah that's like an independent vendor policy. They pay for these particular displays and they don't want pics taken of their "ideas" that are paid for when said picture taker can try to recreate the display idea for free. I got yelled at in a Best Buy for pics and I was like "really guy?" And then he laid that rap on me.

Hey...you could always buy it. Take pics and return it lol

Where are you located? New Zealand, right?

I know places like Australia used to have all their NBA jerseys in the early 2000s produced by a company called Concept Sports and they did most players, including Wizards Jordan at the time. They were all completely stitched jerseys, but looked off when you compared them to the Nike or Reebok Swingman equivalents at the time.

My point is that for International territories sometimes they end up with entirely different product compared with say the United States.

I know it's happened in the last 5 years or so in Europe with adidas making different Replica/Swingman All-Star jerseys than the ones available in the US at the same time. It's very frsutrating for collectores outside the US that's for sure, because sometimes they end up with stuff that looks fake!
 
I know the PG13 and Lillard swingmans i found in Melbourne were the american ones. The cut just doesn't feel right tho
 
It looks real to me, but ima keep it a buck im not an expert, wait for another opinion before you pull the trigger

@MCMXCIV6  I agree on the weird cut of the new Swingman. I was at adidas and it just felt like all of the numbers and names were either sitting too low on the jersey, or the jersey is just not cut as long as they used to. It's like they've gone a little too fitted.
