@OP Just got me a pair of these actually from Flightclub.com and the production dates are 8/8/2012 10/19/2012. Also check to make sure that TWENTYTHIRTEEN is written on the tongue. Tongue looks a little crooked at top.

The tongue is the part that worries me the most but it is very padded so i really have no idea.

 

[ryanjumpman420]

@Kingofpho75 IMHO id say these are an "unauthorized" or an Early Release pair. Meaning its made from from Nike just no quality control and sold off the books

 

[ryanjumpman420]

@Kingofpho75 im def no expert tho. Id check youtube videos check them Super Perfects and unauthorized pairs on there

 

[kingofpho75]

@Kingofpho75 im def no expert tho. Id check youtube videos check them Super Perfects and unauthorized pairs on there

Im thinking that too cause i looked on youtube and there are no replica videos on this colorway. There are alot of videos on the black tongue but none on these and ive looked on sites and they dont have this colorway on the rep sites. I did manage to find one video of a super perfect but the shoe had red insoles and the netting was clear not milky. Eitherway ive been worried about these.

 

[ryanjumpman420]

@Kingofpho75 yeah they look too good to be a replica. Id have to say early release or an unauthorized pair.

Please lets try and stick to facts here.. there is no proof NIKE produces GMs and its the same material etc..This is all speculation. There is actually more proof this is NOT the case but ill let you be the judge in the end..

OP they look ok to me from the pics provided.. Nothing here makes me think GM or ER..

Also dont forget to rep the people who you feel have helped you here.

Jordan 5 tongue is always crooked by the middle of the top tongue due to its where it folds when factory laced.. Most fake jordan 5 is not determine by the tongue... Shape, but by the thickness of the padding, the position of the jumpman.

This jordan 5 is legit... And jb always have some production flaws. And for some that could be stated as "gm".

No. Not made from Nike or any of it's distributers. If they are "unauthorized" they are fake. We don't need to discuss this on here. But don't put that fals information out bro.

And the shoes are on point, I'd say GM if the netting was super clear, or tongue was flimsy

Your shoes are LEGIT

 

[ryanjumpman420]

Agreed @Shaingang

 

[ryanjumpman420]

@Shaingang i respect your stance on the subject and i guess it shouldnt be discussd like u said.

The tongue on the shoe is actually really padded and not flimsy at all just that it looks weird. thanks for the help.

THANK YOU. It's amusing to see people talk about what exactly GM's are. Unless you work at the factory that makes them, you shouldn't know anything. The only truth behind them is that they are unauthorized. In other words, NOT authentic. Replicas. Fakes. Super perfects. AAA. Whatever floats your boat but don't call GM's Authentics or B-grades because we know that both of then are actually made at the same factories that Nike authorizes. Only difference is B-grades don't pass quality inspections but still get sold at outlets and what not which obviously are authentic. Sorry for the rant but all this speculation about GM's need to stop. And OP I still think these are legit. Lots of 5 tongues look choppy especially the ones with 3m tongues. Just as long as the jumpman doesn't look off or the tongue looks really bad and flat. And everyone keep in mind that these are size 13's.

 

[kingofpho75]

After looking at these for weeks, there are two things that still bother me: 1. The toe box on the right shoe is different from the other side and 2. The tongue on the right side is also different from the left side cause the tongue is like a sqaure while one gas a curved cut. If anyone has differences between pairs of shoes before please leave your thoughts.
