Legit. Look the same if not better than the pair I have.

They have the black stitching under the sole, I saw the fakes usually have white stitching.

Thats good to know, I know replicas might look just as good but I prefer to pay the price, even if its a bit more, to ensure they are authentic, I mean I understand flaws are bound to happen, plus alot of the legit vs fake checks on youtube just add to my confusion and often contradict...

So is goat pretty trustworthy? Ive heard nothing but good about them which is why I gave them a try,I want to purchase from places that erase that paranoia but still learning who those sources are

yeah purchased these new from GOAT. They were advertised as new, box and shoes definitely look brand spanking new, did notice the excessive glue in several places, lot of the newer releases seem to be heavy on the glue, hopefully that means they stay together for longer haha

So I took another look at your photos and compared them with mine and here are the differences I noticed: The price tag on the label is missing The lettering on the box looks slightly more bold than mine but could be the difference in lighting Bamboo eyelets look like they have no wood grain...

First time trying out GOAT, happy so far, still would help me feel more at ease having a second opinion. Also, I noticed the leather on the toe of one shoe is much more tumbled than the other, leather on the back and sides looks/feels the same. 

Looks legit to me, looks just like the pair I picked up on launch day,

So I have been interested in picking up a pair of Bred 11s 2012 at some point but seems like these are difficult to LC and the price seems to vary wildly. FlightClub has them in my size 8.5 for $650, GOAT has a few pairs, one listed at $405 with damaged box another  for $700.  So my questions...

Haha wasnt sure what else to call em, probably a better term out there for em, Ill probably end up keeping em despite the flaws but man are they squeaky, any fixes for that or just takes time?

Just got mine in today and also seeing glue small glue stains at seam on pretty much all sides, plus some of the small cat wisker circles are jacked up, oh well, guess it could be worse, probably/hopefully not noticable on foot

My thoughts exactly!

Couldn't have said it better myself, collect for love of Jordans not for love of value/money, shouldnt be about that, otherwise probably collecting for the wrong reasons imo

Thanks sneakerlover, I had found that guide right after I had posted this and it is great! The pair I have seem to match every single real example given with one or two inconsistencies like the glue pattern not being totally diagonal, only slightly, but color and bold words on back of insole and...

Just picked these up, came with Nike.com congrats letter and dude sent me screen shots of nike.com order. I am 99% sure these are legit but would appreciate your much more experienced opinion
