With this model specifically there are many high quality replicas that can fool a lot of people.
Someone tried sending me a fake pair a few months back and just recently I received an even better imitation from a NT'er with 30 positive feedback. This is the first time I received fakes off niketalk since I joined and I buy a lot. It is expected from ebay and ISS not niketalk.
I know my stuff when it comes to jordans and I even have a legit vnds pair to compare to.

They look good for the most part, the jumpman's hand is a little funny looking, the green was a little dark, the box was larger than what it should be for this model and the paper inside the box had a different feel to it. Usually the easiest give away is the smell and these had an extremely strong 'factory' smell that started to give me a headache. Also there are minor errors where the stitching is imperfect or there are glue stains or dirty stains where there shouldn't be. The laces were long and weren't tied up as neatly as they usually are when you buy ds kicks. The red in the air bubble was brighter than it is on a legit pair and the heel of the shoe was just thicker. In both pairs of fakes I recieved the jumpman on the insole were yellow rather than lime green and the insoles were not glued in.

The insert on the left came with the legit pair, The shape of the one on the right is the same shape that came with every pair of fakes people tried catching me with. I expect the bootleggers to continue to progress but for now I have often noticed the incorrect insert in fakes.

This picture speaks for itself. The on the left is legit vs the fake on the right. You can see the different material, colors and shapes being used.

The bottom pair is the legit pair. Different materials and quality being used.
Moral of the story: Feedback is just a number, many people can't tell whether a shoe is legit or not because these bootleggers have became really good at what it is they do. The seller claims to have a nike connect in his family where he orders all his shoes directly. He said he has stacks of heat, if these claims were true, he knew these were fakes the whole time. Who knows if anyone else got caught buying replicas from him.
Many fake sellers on ebay have high feedback as well, people simply are unaware.
Any site like air-randy, mental kicks will give you these triple AAA quality kicks. Don't doubt it and fight the urge to give in. They do not sell B-Grades. B-Grades are real. If it coming from overseas have your guard up.
Early releases are usually almost always. fakes
P.S I received my refund both times. Only send as paypal "goods" unless you know for sure you're dealing with a legit seller.
If it's too good to be true it usually is.
