Hello,

I have recently purchased some navy independence day nike air max 90's, and I would be greatly appreciated if someone could help tell me if they are real. I have done loads of google research and found lots of good info and things to check. As far as I can tell from this they seem to be real, but would be good if I could also get the opinion of experts just to put me at ease. I have already checked:

- Air bubble is fully see through.

- Flag logo isn't too big.

- The colour of the mesh on the top is darker

- On the inside label the tail of the "Q" in the word Fabrique starts inside the circle. 

- Logo on the inside sole seems legit.

Any help you can give would be awesome. Let me know if you want more pics.

Thanks Modus,

Yes that was one of the threads I had already read through - and from what I gathered my pair seemed to be OK. What specifically did you spot on mine that told you they were fake?

How much did you pay for them and where did you buy them?

Ebay for £40, I know that's fake prices, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are fake, could just be an average joe who doesnt know what they are worth.

So they sold out everwyhere long ago, going now for like $500/600 or even more.

And you found a dude that already sold a few more pairs of blues using the same pics for each listing including yours. And a pair of whites. All of them for like pocket money. Mentioning 'no box' for all of them. And Ebay is full of fake listings like these.

And you still thought 'it's just an average Joe not knowing what he's selling, must be my lucky day!'
