Bred toe L/C

[jackrectum]

Can I get some input whether these bred toes are legit or not? Been a while since I've bought any Jordans and wouldn't know how to tell.

The shape of the shoe looks odd but that could just be from wear. The shade of red looks too bright, but it could just be the quality of the photos.The leather on these looks different from mine, but it could just be Nike's quality control. The main thing is how bad the wings logo looks on the right shoe. It looks small, not deeply embossed, and it looks like its fading. I would say these are not authentic from that photo. I added a photo of mine for reference.

I thought these were your pictures, its always better to see them in person because sometimes the pictures are not good, but there are just areas that don't look right in my opinion. I saw the sellers account and he has a lot of feedback and doesn't look like a scammer, but I still would have avoided this pair. It is definitely not "VNDS" as the seller stated, I have worn my pair over ten times and the shape looks much better then his even though he states he only wore them a "handful of times". I also don't want to spread any misinformation, the wings logo is going to be closer to the stitching on my pair because its a smaller size. I added a picture of an authentic size 11 so that you can see the wings logo and shape.

The other problem that I have is the leather around the heel. The leather shouldn't be very tumbled, it should be smooth at the bottom, but can have some regular creasing at the top. This is what I always see in authentic pairs and is the mistake that many replicas sellers use to make in the SBB's, but Nike quality control hasn't been the best so I am not 100% sure about this. I added a picture of a used size 11 for reference on the right. All the authentic pairs I have seen look like the one on the right, your pair is on the left.

The picture of the right came from this album of a used pair of size 11 Bred toe's, that are authentic in my opinion:

I finally got them in hand and took a few pictures myself. Don't these normally have a red "Nike Air" logo on the insoles? Doesn't look like there are any signs of one being there to begin with.

Would really appreciate some more opinions, seller is assuring me they're legit and I don't think they're scammers at all, but the wings logo, thin soles, and tumbled back sides are throwing me off hard. Maybe it's just QC like S StudentDriver stated but I'm not 100% sure.

Swoosh shape looks good in my opinion, the shape of the shoe does look better in your photos, but that is still one of the worst wings logos I have seen. Its usually replicas that make mistakes on the wings logo. I can't be sure if these are authentic, those few things make me have doubts.

The Nike Air logo on the insoles does rub off after wearing them, I don't think it a red flag. These are not VNDS like in the sellers description.

You may want to post a link to this thread in the Air Jordan 1 high thread so you can get more opinions. If you don't get any, then I would suggest posting them in r/Repsneakers on reddit.

I appreciate all your input and help. I've decided to just return them rather than deal with potential fakes or terrible QC. I've looked at several other pictures of the wings logo and you're right, the ones on these are crap. Thanks again.

good idea, too many red flags on there. just goes to show that fakes are getting VERY good sadly.
