I just got back into buying jordans and really wanted this shoe. I purchased from sole place on amazon for $330. I need your help sneaker heads!!
 
Check the tongue under the laces next to the netting and see if it has twenty twelve imprinted on the tongue on both shoes. If so they are legit.
 
the sticker inside... i cant remember if mine had that one, or the regular size sticker? Looks okay to me other than that
 
not havinh the size sticker is whats throwing me off. I'm going to check for the 2012 under the tongue in a few to confirm. Appreciate your input fam!
 
Another thing that gets me a little is the shoe trees. They are not like that for retro 4s they are the short cut ones cause they put those little sticks in them.

I know the 3s have shoe trees like that, 4s also do iirc. The 5s have a flat slay shoe tree. Personally...I prefer to use a leave in shoe tree (sneaker shield tailoredt to fit your foot) these cardboard ones imo are just good for shipping. Other than the BIN shoe trees and the XI shoe trees the others are trash (recyclable tho)
 
They dont have 2012 anywhere under the tongue as far down as I can see. I guess they are top of the line bootlegs. I'm getting a refund Monday.
 
If they released in 2012 then yes they do have the words twenty twelve imprinted on the tongue next to the netting under the laces on both shoes. If they don't have this they are GM or fake. But from the pics it looks like the production tag is to high up on the inner pinning of the ankle. The tongue don't look as tall as it should be. IMO. And like I said the shoe trees are wrong I'm betting if you took a pic of the paper in the box it's transparent instead of solid black like it should be.

They def are not Release day pairs sorry bro.

I stay away from amazon and them websites. only ebay and face to face meets with the shoes and buyin of NT. Safest way to buy and always post a LC before paying.
 
I was looking under the tongue for the actual number "2012". I see it now. Is this what I should see?
 
my only hangup now is the shoe tree. This ish is tough! I'll never gamble like this again. Cant wait for the 88 black cements in Feb. 
 
Like I said it still has those slight defects but when you said that the twenty twelve wasn't there I was sure to say but as long as that's there you are good to go.
