First off I would ask for tagged and dated pics.

Having said that, something about the outsole and tongue doesn't sit well with me.  Will wait for tagged and dated pics, but as it is I would say no legit based of those two items.

Those are for sure the shoes.  I have them in my possession currently.   Those were the pics he sent me via text.  I just screen shot them.  And there is a video too, did you watch that? 

I have the shoes so if there is a specific pic of them you need taken like from a specific angle just ask and I can do that.

Sorry to tell you but these are fake.

Check out the pairs in these two links:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/222277586926?vectorid=229466&lgeo=1&item=222277586926&rmvSB=true

The two areas that give it away are the fibers within zoom max units, and the pattern on the outsole.  The fibers in the zoom max units should be straight and evenly spaced through out.  There shouldn't be any curvature at all.  

The graphic on the right foot outsole heal should not bleed all the way to the edges like they do on your pair.  There is more green than showing around the yellow "X".

The little inset pictures on each inner heel look off as well.

Hope you can get you're money back.

I use PayPal so no worries on returns

I took a couple pics of the fibers in the air unit. Insanely hard to take pictures of but they're definitely straight and evenly spaced.

I added some close ups of the inside heel decals for better look.

I looked at the bottom of the right shoe and see what you're talking about. These aren't DS and a bit dirty but I tried to take a closeup to see how there is a bit less green than it appears because of dirt.

I'm not sure what you were talking about on the right heel with the bleeding...

What do ya think of the pics??

I take back my initial comments and change my opinion.  Based on the new photos I believe these are legit.

The close ups on the Zoom Max units really helped me to see the fibers spacing and how straight they are.  From the earlier photos it looked like there was some extreme curvature.  This is typically a dead giveaway on fake Lebron X's.

The close ups on the heel images (the LeBron "Dunkman" and "6" logos) also look much better than they did before.  This is another spot the counterfeiters could never really master on fake X's.

Finally, the increased detail on the closer images of the outsole do show some wear which would indeed wash out the graphic underneath.

Nice pick up.

For obvious reasons I'm glad you had a change of heart hahahaha.

I'm taking them to Charlotte to SneakerCon next saturday to get them officially Legit Checked.  They've been grails of mine forever and finally found a pair for a good price and still feel they're too good to be true.  Paid about 1250 for them and pray they get the seal of approval. Thanks for your insight.
