Hey NT LC/PC section, wild that this is only the second time that I've had to make one of these in over 7 years of being into sneakers (and over 5 of being on this site.)

One of my ___s bought a pair of 2010 Cool Gray XI's (size 10.5) off of a local Facebook group apparently, and he came to me AFTER (I know :smh:) to help him verify their authenticity.

I'm not really a fan of post-'06 XIs so I'm not an expert by any means, but I had a pair of Space Jams (coincidentally the reason I made the first legit check thread) so I kind of know what to look for (Jumpman tag positioning, patent leather cut/widows peaks, unrealistically icy soles given their age, smushed looking '23' on the heel, and probably one or two other things that I'm not remembering at the moment) and besides one glaring issue these seem to get the pass off of a lazy look-over.

Could you guys help my man out?

Pictures (I can easily get more from him if needed, just let me know):

Close-up of the biggest flag to me. It looks like this might just be some kind of accident though:

All help is appreciated.
 
Gonna need a good side shot of each shoe as well as a good shot of the jumpmen..Also lets see the soles and the back of the insoles..I'm looking for the glue marks..

As far as the eyelets go this was simple owner error IMO..I believe the laces were cleaned with bleach and were not rinsed thoroughly or put in damp..The bleach discolored the eyelets. This would not be a tell for fakes
