2012 XI Bred Legit Check. Experts Please!

[chrisfromthed]

I've been a lurker for around 2 years and just wanted to say hi to everyone. This is my first post, I've learned a lot from here, thanks guys! I've searched these legit check threads high and low but I'm unsure of my pair. Quick back story, I grabbed this from a Craigslist guy he says he grabbed of finish line online and provided receipt with his info removed, everything looks legit to me at first, correct box with price tag present but not stuck on and black nike sticker on bottom of box. Inside, correct paper with light print and correct shoe trees. Shoes looked good, but I've read a couple times the insole stitching should be white, the "gm"s are black.....mine is red and one of the 23a looks a little misaligned. 23s look correct tho with proper line spacing. Here's the pics, everyone's expertise is very much appreciated.

They are legit..stitches are not a reliable tell IMO..

What do you think is the best indicator? I always thought it was the carbon fiber, but the gms have that too.

The mesh on the heel by the collar, where the painted-on 23 is, should be looking just like yours.

The painted-on 23 on the back should be looking just like yours.

The replicas are a different height. ~1/2 inch shorter due to smaller outsole or incorrect upper

me.. lol.. It varies to be honest bc there are various forms of fakes.. from $50 fakes to $120 dollar fakes..An a lot of shady people out there.. I would say there is no one thing to look for.. Its a bunch of little pieces to look at then determine from that..kinda like a checklist if you will.
