I'm still going to say legit and the stitching on the back being a factory flaw. They did make a ton of these for the 2016 release so factory flaws have to be out there along with the fact that Nike quality control is questionable at best and they let a lot of stuff pass through. The Travis Scott 4's are a great example of this with all the glue stains that are on retail pairs. The insole on these has the same markings as my retail pair and the size marking is also correct for your size jams. Glue pattern is the same on the bottom of the insole and the lace strap positions and widows peaks appear correct. The toe caps look good and the carbon fiber looks good as well. The inside tag on the tongue looks correct too which a lot of fakes get wrong. It typically appears sloppy on fakes with the stitching and sometimes they even get the lettering color wrong. The inside of the box looks legit also and is exactly how mine looks.
BTW, JRepp23 liked my comment on the last post in regard to these and he seems to know a ton about 11's so I'm assuming he thinks they are legit as well.
I hear that brother. I'm on the OCD side and feel the same way and absolutely have to know because I can't stand fakes either. Like you said, J's aren't cheap. Paying top dollar for an authentic item & getting a fake would piss me off to no end. My Jams are still DS and I would have left them factory laced but seeing someone that needed help had me wanting to do whatever it took to find out so I unlaced both to pull the shoe trees & insoles so I could compare them to hopefully give better insight to these being real or fake. They matched up perfectly so I'm pretty confident in stating they are genuine.
Thanks bro, Another person saw my shoes and said they are real. I just wanna be 100% with this cause these are my first ever 11s. I just got the space jams and the concords lately. So im new when it comes to 11s lol.
Nice man. Those 2 are excellent choices when it comes to 11's. I had to have the Concords when they dropped. So much so that I doubled up. Anyway It's definitely nice to hear others say they real as well. I honestly found a lot more that looked real than fake with these. There is a lot of info online regarding real vs fake 11's. If you have time here & there I'd suggest checking it out and familiarize yourself with what to look for and what the fakes typically get wrong. I personally love 11's and they are unfortunately faked a lot so if it's a shoe you can see yourself purchasing more colorways of, you'll definitely want to know what to look for.
I have look at every info I could possibly look at for the space jams only the 45 was the only problem I encountered. And yea I was going to get 11s breds but I rather wait for the new ones. my only problem with the 11s is the patent leather it gets easily scuff or scratches. That’s why I never bother getting them, I always love the way they look especially the space jams but the patent leather it was kept me away from the shoe. But I gave them a chance and so far they are good.
Good call on waiting for the newer bred's. I always prefer to get a newer pair opposed to older considering shoes only last so long before they start to deteriorate or break down. Yeah the PL can scratch somewhat easily but I personally haven't had any issues with keeping them clean or scratch free and they no doubt look good with the right pants. I may even wear my Jams for my wedding. My fiancé didn't bat an eye at the idea when I mentioned it so I think I have the green light to do it.
