Yes it's actually very common with these releases and is a good sign of authenticity. Some fakes have a thick pattern going throughout the whole shoe on the left and right. Red flag. So having inconsistent thickness is a good thing.
 
alright thanks for that bro, and the subtle difference in the jumpman on tongue is normal too?
was jsut about suspsicious witht he 150$ price tag when i heard they go for like 400+ usually
 
it can be if you're looking at different retros from different years. The most recent retros should have similiar thickness. I would compare them to another AJ3 from the same year. If you compare the og's to the retros you'll definitely see a difference in the elephant print on the front and on the back.

You'll notice some pairs have different elephant print patterns as well. I tend to go for pairs have similar patterns - I feel like they're more "authentic" but thats just me. Some people may not care about how the pattern differs in their pair.

Yeah there is a difference between flaws in manufacturing and red flags. $150 is not bad for this used pair. $400+ would be referring to an unworn pair.

Here is my pair. Notice the eprint pattern on the heel and toe. The heel eprint pattern is visibly thicker than the toe pattern. No two eprint patterns are exactly the same.

Hard to explain but the overall shape of the shoe, the shade of grey on the shoes have to be correct, the tongues should be rounded off and not puffy, the eprint cuts should be low and the eprint pattern itself has to look a certain way.

Yes, lots of Jordan shoes have insoles that are glued really good to the shoe and some have loose insoles that can easily be removed. This is a legit overseas pair.
 
  Ssup! Found these for a good price and wanted to make sure whether these are legit or not. So, opinions? For me these                                                                                          seem to be real ones but there are some things that make me doubt the authenticity.
 
They are fakes fam. Widows peaks, Eprint is off and is high on the heels, general shape is also off.

Did you get these from a guy on Kixify?

He was selling some fufu BC3s for like 180
 
Damn, so ya'll think these r fakes? 
I didnt buy these yet luckily if they're not authentic and we were doing the deal @facebook. Haven't used kixify bymyself yet.
