Commonwealth DID acknowledge the restocks, saying not to trust their source but never actually said they were fakes

Asics pulls this stuff all the time. Second batches for shoes ain't uncommon. They periodically stock collabs on their site
Where can we find more info on outlet Da Vinci

Gotta understand that these shops only have so much control about what Asics does.

Alright so I have no place in this argument because I really don't care what y'all do with your money but this **** got me interested
So I looked over pictures posted here earlier by @Shayan3023
According to him: Top = Ruze. Bottom = Retail Pair
Note: My word is not law, I'm not an expert on fakes and am not calling these fake; this could be Asics horrible QC...
In this first pic:
1. The salmon sole slightly extends a bit more on the Ruze pair as opposed to the bottom pair. (Also it might be the camera/shoe angle but is it me or are the shape of the toes different?)
2. Side netting on the logo is different. Ruze pair has more "squares" than the retail pair.
3. Little Asics logo on both pairs look slightly different. (Note: I might be reaching on this one
)
Now on the second pic
1. Asics logo again lol
2. Now this is more telling; the cuts on the heel are VERY different. The Ruze pair has a taller cut than the retail pair which is slightly longer...
3. Little white heel stripe a bit fatter on the Ruze pair; Retail a lot more slender
These are the only two pictures I looked at because y'all have eyes and can see for yourself.
It's the same on the other shoe as well.
I'm going to lean slightly towards the fake side of things... very identical but this could just be due to Asics awesome QC. But I don't know how you can explain the very different dates on tags..

The Ruze pair looks like it has better quality and cut than the retail pair

Good catches. The production tags is alarming but doesn't prove anything to me since these could very well be a second batch or pairs from the scrap pile that were tagged and sold as b grades.
It's going to be a combination of all these things that will really convince me that these are fake or unauthorized. Which I'm leaning towards the latter

Wait I vaguely recall the Da Vinci outlet thing. Wasn't it someone who was selling them for dirt cheap climb facebook? Or was there an actual outlet release

no, guy on instagram showed a video of like 100 boxes of davincis well after the release. was selling them in the 2xx price range versus the 400ish you were finding on ebay (iirc)
commonwealth called him out and then he proceeded to post a detailed video of the shoes in the box, which like in our case, looked identical to the retail pair
said he got them from direct from asics europe

It was on person selling them and they were far from cheap. He had high resell prices on all the pairs

Sorry for the blurry 9.5 pic. Can't see any differences in the production tags, but there may be a better trained eye than mine.
9.5, straight from Commonwealth Va Beach
Overseas from dude. Were confirmed several times to be legit before I purchased, too.

I had hope initially when I ordered and they sold out fairly quickly that they were real. I then had hope again when Chowfun89 posted up pics and the quality looked fantastic! I have now lost hope after seeing the guy replenish his size 10 time after time after time when down to one left in the system. I am pretty sure he is sewing and glueing up a new size 10 as I type this! Hahaha

I don't think Asics puts production dates on their tags (EDIT: never knew the code on the bottom was the production date. Im slow, I used to actual dates lol).
I'm no expert, but I'll leave this tidbit here. I'd be concerned about the font. Reason being, I've checked 10 pairs of my shoes and thus far, none have the font those Ruze pairs have...

Yeah I don't think those are necessarily production dates.....
If those are then they were made more than a year before the release?
But the fact that they have different tags is alarming

My concepts Boston tea party code on the bottom says F460116. If it's a production code, that would mean they were made in 2016.....
Also, I've looked at several eBay listings with differing tags....
