I've done a lot of research on these and also had several pairs prior to this one. I don't have those pairs anymore and I am very suspicious about these because of the tag that is nearly falling off one of the shoes, the midsole paint job, the box tag, etc. What do you guys think? If they are real then is it possible they are B-grades? The quality is booty on these things. None of my other pairs looked like this. If more pics are needed please let me know.

Thanks.

I appreciate the responses guys. I'm still having trouble with the fact that the size tag is coming off the left shoe. I also am not sure about the overall wear and creasing everywhere on the shoes given that they were sold to me as "VNDS" and they look no where near DS to me. I realize that the leather on the Royals was buttery but the creasing is all over on these. The toe boxes aren't bad. I'm not one of those people. I can live with that part. Thoughts?
 
They are legit. sometimes the nike tags are put on poorly which happened to my Kobe 8's after a few wears. they size tags inside came off cleanly. weirdest thing :lol:

the shoe itself is legit unless you need size tags in your shoe
 
I think these have been worn more than you think... Looks like someone wore the crease protectors until the creases starting showing then they decided to sell them as VNDS. You can tell they have been worn a few times by the ankle creases.. Size tag is ok, it's happened to me a few times over the years.
 
The easiest tell on the 1s is the box lid take a pic of the circled R for registered trademark and I'll tell u if it authentic or not

There it is. Thank you.

How about a price check? Need more pics?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but is that a little bit of heel drag I'm seeing?

These were sold to me as "worn twice lightly only."

Thanks everyone.

How does $335 sound?

The seller offered a $90 refund and I decided that I was ultimately cool with paying $335 shipped for these.
 
I'm cool with that price considering all the out-there-in-left-field things I've seen while at times intensely looking for these, especially on eBay.

Also, I had several of these when they released but sold 'em all and just wanted to find an authentic pair at a decent price to rock.

And I'm gonna run them into the ground.

Thanks everyone.

Wow you took the seller for a ride 335 is unheard of for legit royals and if anyone says otherwise show me a size 11 for that price and authentic!

Yea man I stand corrected. When the f did prices jump that much? I was just looking a few months ago and they were hundreds cheaper across the board
 
I missed this pair by like 2 hrs i been looking for a size 11 and the pairs that are 100% authentic are through the roof and far and few between!
 
I wish i knew all of a sudden people want anywhere from 7-1000 for authentic pairs and 5-7 for a pair like the one above. I think it's because they're are less and less authentic pairs out there that's my guess.
 
That to could be the fact many bootleggers are making good fakes out there and since these are in high demand these rapist will put a high price and whoever really wants them will pay but in reality fam where the ones who set these kind of prices because where theres people that pay these kind of prices like celebrities or just plain dumb ppl and sellers see that so there all gonna want in of course but its us ppl that set these prices because of the people who purchase them at a high price
 
These were delivered today. I'm almost certain on these but I figured I would post them here since I have this open already.

This is a different pair from the original one in question.
