Yeah the barcode matches. Still believe these are grey markets.

Grey markets. I have the same ones.

Legit

I'm positive that they are grey markets. But @originality you are only half right. The elephant print is fine but the grey area may be slightly darker. They're different on every shoe so hard to define. The box is definitely off there's no doubt about that. The insole is 100% legit. The nike...

I got them off craigslist for $370. He wouldn't even budge after negotiating back and forth for $10 even. Can you explain to me what grey market variants are? Thanks.

Thanks again guys. But what about the toebox stitching? Bigger and less stitches? I think authentics have 18 stitches, these have 14. The box also looks so fake for sure. How can the box be like this? The jumpman and air symbol are way too thin. These 2 things are really throwing me off bad!

Here is some more photos. Thx again all for anyone who can help me. I'm really stumped right now...

The box is quite different from my crimson box too. The jumpman on box is arm looks wayyy to skinny and the font is choppy.

Bump

I'm curious if anyone has answers to the toebox stitching? Mine have the wider stitching too. Shouldn't this be a very big tell for spotting fakes? The amount of stitches are 14 instead of 18.

This picture is from an legit auction on ebay.

My crimson have a total of 18 stitiches. These 88s have 14 stitches. Does this mean anything?

Thanks for the input guys. Appreciate it. One question. The stitching underneath the toe. In pictures the stitches seem smaller/shorter then on this shoe. Is this of any significance? Is this a tell for fakes or no?

Just bought these and am unsure if they are legit or not. Everything looks legit but the jumpman on tongue looks kinda low budget. Im not a sneakerhead so your guys input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for answering my questions. But yeah he told me it was higher because of the angle. Also he said they are not B GRADES, there is no B written on the tag and they generally don't have B grades for their higher end shoes. As for fading he said the shoes are 2 yrs old and depending on how...
