I preach this non stop on here. There have been some authentics I have seen called fake I kmew 100% real just because of people thinking shoes are 100% identical.
There have high quality control, but it isnt perfect, nor can be.
Lol... are some of you calling a shoes fake based off if laced or not? Wow...
When I had customers come in to try shoes on they or I would lace shoes to see how they fitted or looked.
Thats crazy...
Shoes are fake, but things like no serial in box should only be used along with other contributing things. The reason being that it is rare that all boxes or soles will have serials. It depends on factory.
"All authentic retail pairs of the 2011 Concords have orange discoloring around the pods"
Not accurate. There are products I personally use that prevent that or remove it.
