Need help! I call fake, after going through all the legit checks, but i also want a second opinion. 
 
Why you callin' "Fake bruh? Elaborate a lil for us?? Box is a little jacked. Overall though. They look good. correct tags on inside and on box (UPCs match up). Toe box looks good. Color is solid. And the height is straight. Most of the real FAKES are off in color. UPCs don't match up and the height is cut way low along with the Air Jordan Wings Logo being hell of small and blurry.
These look straight. If anything a B Grade. Peace!!

Actually some don't. I have held many in my hand that are slipped out the back by known Nike reps. Also, the dates vary depending on production and from what warehouse. The dates on the 2013 Royals ALL start with a 9/. The day itself is irellevant as long as the date is correct. Anyhow, the shoes look on point.

Elaborate a lil with some solid facts as to why these are fake in your opinion?
 
just look at the nike air its the wrong font & the swoosh is too fat

show me a legit pair with 09/13/12-11/28/12... havent seen one.. maybe theres one out there... but i havent seen it

Thats it? Variations can happen. I have seen some great Replicas and these don't even touch that realm. In all my years of studying the Air Jordan shoe I have come to see that there are crazy amounts of variations on the shoes especially nowadays (you get what you get). And in all my experience with the Air Jordan shoe never have i seen a Fake with all the correct attributes of an "Authentic". Usually the main thing is the height. Then the color is way off. This particular shoe has everything right down to the UPC matching as "Fakes" NEVER match when it comes to registration.
 
"the nike air is the wrong font & the swoosh is wrong" = thats it lol

i have 4 pairs from RD these are off

This would fall in the category of "High cut leather" or "Glue on the shoe". Nothing more than a simple matter of variation due to poor quality control. I have held shoes in my hands through out the years that come right out of places like Finishline with glue everywhere, paint on the mid sole and the biggest one for me yet! The 88 Retro 3's with leather cuts on the back of the shoe being different in height and 2 different Elephant Print patterns. Am i to say they are selling fakes? Nah. Just another case of the "Curse Of Jordan Brand" corner cutting. No more, no less.

I know a Fake when i see one. And this particular shoe is far from it.
 
So far you have given me nothing solid. Just a "Fat Swoosh". And a "Nike Air Logo". Simple variations on a shoe. I need something solid my man. I think the evidence rests on the 88 Retro 3 having 2 completely different types of Elephant Print. And two different completely different leather cuts (both on the back of the shoe).

This is the type of stuff i'm talking about. And even these were purchased right out of Finishline. Therefore, a variation in font means nothing to me. As already stated. This type of poor quality control happens all the time. Especially with the poor quality Jordan Brand is putting out these days.

give me more angles & hq pics of these 1s, i'll tell you every detail

toe box & the liner also looks off.. i didnt say it because i need more angles to conclude on those areas

lol why the hell nike would have the wrong font on just one pair

maybe if its upside down, but the right font.. i'll take that

I wish i could but i'm not the owner of these shoes. Just seen the post. And we can't say it is just "One Shoe". This would be speculation as we don't have access to all the 2013 Air Jordan Royals that were released all over the world.

I'm not referring to your post. I was speaking with another about the Royals (which is what this thread is about) before you posted your shoes asking about "Authenticity".

Well, all i see are variations. That's it. Because I have seen worse come right out of "Reputable" shoe stores such as Finishline.

I totally understand where you are coming from REALEYES, we have all fell victim to JB quality control over the years, however ISNIKER is correct in this case IMO. These are indeed GM. VERY close to authentic by first glance.. but still fugazi.

This is not the day of old when fakes were super easy to see a mile away.. Its gettin crazy. An honestly i think the GM 1s are one if not the hardest to tell unless you know what to look for.

This guy knows his 1s IMO..

Think about it no matter how shotty a shoe is put together( glue, bad stitching, etc, etc.) it should have the same pieces.. The soles are different and the Nike tag is different and swoosh is different, the cuts of material are different on the kicks in question. We have literally seen dozens like this over the last couple months.. This is not a manf. error, these are other pieces made to look like the authentic..

There is no such thing as having a variation of the NIKE font on an authentic shoe.. This does not happen unless they are Fake. Shotty construction is one thing but the font on authentics are ALWAYS the same.

And I suppose you have seen this for yourself? You have launched a full investigation into the Nike Font system and know that EVERY single shoe that Nike has released ALL have the very same font?

Impossible and pure speculation.

Yes.. Im a designer, its what i do..Dude its called a brand!! An a TRADEMARK or LOGO. An for that reason ITS ALWAYS THE SAME... Do you know anything about design?? How many times you went to FootLocker and seen a diff font on the door? How many times you been to Mc Donalds and seen a diff font and archs? Or WALMART how many times have you seen it written different on the side of the store??? Or Glock, How many times have you seen their guns w a diff logo? I could go on and on...Get my point. You act like people are sewing the tags by hand or something bro! Its a machine, and its 99% accurate IMO. To see a tag this different is a big red flag these days! Its not a defect. 

To think that a Corp such as NIKE would have multiple variants of there logo on the same shoe is just redic IMO.. 

Tags can change on diff shoes in the line for sure like an OG 1 vs a New 1 the OG has the "R"s but its the same NIKE letters for sure!
