that's not true. it was established in the last thread that was not a sign of fakes.

Any other way of telling the difference between real and fakes?? I saw earlier in this thread that the paper on the real Jordans is white. The fakes come in some yellowish paper. But what about the shoes? 
How can I tell?

maybe cos the same questions ahve been asked 100 times and people are over it!

Perhaps it was worth answering. what do you want to know about Ct orders?

Did he get anything else through customs in the 24hrs prior?

He got the email w/ the tracking number yesterday or today. Nothing from customs though. Said this email from from FedEx. "Clint Biggerstaff". Smells like fishsticks. He said via the tracking number it was still in transit in the UK.

 LOL, no I ment did he get anything others good shipped to him from outside the country in 24hrs prior?

The box and tissue paper seem to be the best way.  The "fake" pairs have different colored paper and the box has more of a "matte/dull" finish (these are just the basics... there are some pictures and a video in one of these threads about it, as you mentioned).

Other than that, the shoes themselves may look similar... but the "fake" pairs will have a MUCH higher chance of having small problems ("23" logo issues, "JOQDAN", glue residue all over soles/carbon fiber, clear toe caps, etc.).  I think there are some different production dates out there as well that could give them away.  Other than that... apparently, you would have to cut the shoe apart to find other true differences (like the "flat" air soles, poor glue connecting midsole to sole, etc.).

Again, as people have said... it appears that the same materials are being used (for the most part)... so you're not necessarily going to "feel" a difference.  But, if you see a pair with all the little defects present, I would say the chances are high that it is a "fake".  Yes, I see that there are some real release pairs that have a few of the defects that I mentioned... but the chances are MUCH higher that the "fake" pairs will have these defects.

People that got their pairs from Hanon. Is you tissue paper metallic or flat gray.

 

[bigpoint]

Well I finally made some progress!! Just called Eastbay and they had a canceled order of a size 13, I need 14 but bought it anyways so maybe I can trade it with someone who got a bigger size!! $193.04. Will be here in 3 days. Patience is a virtue....

Ha, my bad. No, nothing else.
He called FedEx and it's not a scam. Guess they are shipping all 4 pair in 1 box and he has to do it due to the value of the shipment. Luckily mine got shipped seperately.

 

[nikeairon]

STILL MINDBLOWN AS TO HOW Y'ALL ARE GETTING YOUR PAIRS IN FROM END, AND I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A DAMN THING.

My pair just came in from NDC. Can't even describe this feeling.

yea baby coming in today will post pics later

yeeeeeah, that's not really how it works.

they made a ceratin amount and they're not going back into the factory to produce more just because we all ask them to. i wish it were that easy.
congrats on getting your pair though.

sounds crazy the lady sounded serious about it though

Because they are three separate orders and the package value doesn't exceed $250, that is what certain individuals have been trying to tell people.

 

[stylez23]

Got my two shipments in. One from Nike and one from Urban Industry.

I noticed that Urban Industry has put a big sticker on my package "PERSONAL USE ONLY NOT FOR RESALE" and was not contacted this time by FedEx once it reached customs. My previous Cement III's did not have this on the package, so I assume that made a difference? Here to hoping I don't hear anything from FedEx.

My HS pair has the metallic grey circles.

 

[friscokydd]

For the folks who ordered through Finishline.com and your order shows "processing", have you checked to see if your credit card was charged? I checked mine and it's still pending. I called the credit card folks up and they said they approved the charge and that it's up to FNL to take the money. Very discouraging at this point.

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]

yup, i think it's gonna be me who'll get the bad pair from NDC
