Hello everyone, sorry if this is long:
i've been into Jordans for about a year, but i still am not confident in legit checks. I don't know if flaws in my pair are due to them being fake or if its on JB's end.
Anyway, I bought this pair back in July on Grailed. The seller seemed legit as they had over 1800 transactions, and 5 star seller score with over 700 reviews (here was the original listing: https://www.grailed.com/listings/5316218-jordan-brand-jordan-11-win-like-82-size-11?). The price was a little lower than I expected for 11's (around 200 USD), but I was comfortable buying these. When they arrived, i was a bit worried as i noticed quite a few problems. there was no paper in the box and the shoes didn't come with the inserts. Just because the box is a bit weird, doesn't mean the shoes are fishy, right? well i noticed a few flaws with my pair as well. The patent leather is cut very roughly, i notice some bad stitching and loose threads, the tongue is very rough looking and done cheaply, the white leather on the back is VERY stiff and has begin to crack a bit, the toe-box is not similar to other Jordan 11's i've seen, and one shoe has much longer shoelaces than the other. I will include photos, so please let me know what you think. also this is my first time here so go easy if pics are not good.
