LC on 2016 Jordan XI Space Jam

MagnumSG said:
The guy I bought my Space Jams from also had a full run of sizes. Youth all the way to a 15. They sold out and have yet to see him list more. Nike has also released two different photos. One has peaks on toe box the other does not. Just need to wait for retail to see if legit with peaks. Seller told me his distributer hooks him up two weeks in advance on most releases. If he had them 3 moths ago and continued to get them I'd be a little more suspicious.

Not sure if anyone can really say 100% legit or fake withiut even having a real pair on hand to compare with.
Especially when the overall look haven been changed from previous models.

Just saying....
 
Imo anything presale is fake. No one gets full production runs. Problem is everyone is claiming authentic. Example ua authentic, b grade authentic. They just leaving off the first part and selling good fakes point blank. Like poster said only celebs and pros getting pre production. See this here View media item 2255341
 
If anyone really wanna know authentic I'm copin 2 pairs. One from finish line other from champs.

I assure you that the person I bought these from would be considered by Nike a wholesaler. Nike distribution is large not just subject to footwear chains like Finish Line. It is not out of the question that a eBay wholesaler would have access to Jordan's a week or two before release. Also I confirmed seller HAD a full run of Space Jams. Seller sells multiple brands and styles of shoes not just Jordan's. The question you should ask yourself is can wholesalers who receive their stock early legally sell them before Nike does? Obviously all stores will receive Space Jam inventory before the 10.
 
Not point going back n forth on this. Just wait till after Sat when members get their hands on pairs from the auth retailers.
 
Just a heads up, a buddy of mine owns a few sneaker shops (all legit, nike accounts) and he let me see the space jams that are coming out on Saturday as I was curious how the quality would be after so many early releases have been popping up.  I pulled out one pair and again this was only one pair, but it had a slanted 45 on the back, the carbon fibre plate felt pretty smooth, and had about 3-4 widows peaks including one on the toe box like this guy had.  As well the production sticker was from like 5/15/2016 - 6/22/2016.  Very crazy stuff because the production dates and the widows peaks have been all the talk.  Again this was just one pair but even he agreed that unless it was just a coincidence that we picked the wackest pair of the 40 pairs he had then this was probably the norm.  Very confusing stuff

Here's my production dates off the pair I received. I find it hard to believe if produced this early and is on point for them to be fake.View media item 2255968
 
Good info guys! I guess the game keeps changing. At this point I'm not willing to take chances on early release or resellers. I'll either cop from a retailer or f" it. Wanted them ovo 12 but not paying 3x retail. I will say I got some doo doo from nike on the blue suade 12. Tag on back was slanted. Lmao had. Sticker that said "bad" on the box and sent them anyway
 
 
I copped a retail instore pair today. Just my initial eye test on the retail pair vs. the pictures I submitted. White paper, carbon plate, production dates are different than the , let's call them NA pair. Also the back 45 tab is more flat on the NA pair vs, more of a roundness in the retail pair. The NA pair will be retrnes.

That's crazy bro. Out of all your pic the only questionable thing I seen was a narrow heel. Your insole and everything else on point. Production dates should be close but prolly not identical. Pull ur insoles out and compare stiching and #'s

After getting off work today my wife bought me a retail pair to compare with the ones I got early. It was obvious right off the bat they were UA. The toe box was completely off. The 45 on UA was uneven. The peaks on the side were also off and not placed where patent and upper leather meet. They will be returned as well. Never again!
