You do know that the LAB series gets its name from the element the shoe came from _ LAB then the model of the shoe released _ so an 11 LAB shoe would be named _LAB11 instead of 3LAB5 11.

These are crap, I'd rather spend my money towards an older release that I missed instead...

Too much 3M blowing it for me, tone it down a bit and I'm on. Until next time

Thanks for clarifying. I'm not a fan of the first one so I kind of missed that, and now that you mentioned it, I see the change in sequence. I was thinking they couldn't all be 3Lab5's

I don't think the "S" on the 4 is suede...the IV's are made of one of the bucks (durabuck, nubuck...whatever). The speckle suggestion makes much more sense to me.

These are fire. Much better than the V IMO

Isn't that the same box tissue paper that was in the original 3lab5's? (missed out on the blk/inf pair) trying to figure out why this seems to be new news.

Nope, not feeling these. If that 3m was darker like the 3m V's I might've been into these, that silver shade looks like a shoe one of these guys would be rocking

They look pretty legit but it's hard to tell nowadays with these gm pairs. U should post a pic of the inside tag and possibly clearer pics if u can. But they look pretty good to me? I'd that pair number 6 now and counting? Lol

Thanks man I really appreciate you chiming in and helping me out, I'm still at 4 though lol those pictures are shoe's I'm considering buying. Either those or this GMP I found, I'm interested in both but since I'm still s rook I can't tell if they're authentic or not even though the guy says he's a "sneakerhead" and they're 100% authentic and DS. Do you think you could check it out (it's an old thread I just bumped) and let me know if you think I should buy them?

@chicagoguy5
I have both man (actually in a 13 as well) and they are great!
The Flips WILL have paint chipping, and the Blackflips take MUCH longer for the paint to chip. Beside that, they are awesome!
I'm not a legit check guy, but they look very comparable to my pairs. But before you pull the trigger, if you are still unsure of the legitimacy, use the Legit Check forum forreal man. Ask for handwritten tagged pics from the seller, and like @cobrab19 stated definitely get some pics of the tag in the shoes.

The thing is someone else had told me that there isn't a point in doing a legit check when there's still an active thread on these shoe's. I haven't bought anything yet since I'm not an expert and these resale prices aren't cheap. I'm stuck between these flips but more for the GMP at the price I found, I haven't had anyone respond on that legit check though (I actually started a thread for the GMP).

Patience, it usually takes a day or 2 to get a couple responses in the legit check forum. Start a thread in there for the flips too. To me, they look good, but I'd try to get some detailed pics from the side, front and back.

If this is remotely close to what the final product will look like, I'm definitely hopping back on the bandwagon and copping lol I don't know if it's the lighting or the jumpman logo's, but these pictures look a lot better and a lot more finished. The other pictures even though very similar, didn't seem complete to me as opposed to these.

I'm curious to see what the 2nd colorway will be (if there is one). Would be nice to see a darker colorway.
Still unsure about this particular color. I'll wait for pictures with natural lighting to determine whether I like or not.
