Dude says these are an early release b-grade (which explains the flaws?) from Mentalkicks.com which is legit as far as I know. Thanks in advance

No closeups of the carbon fiber? The spacing on the 23 looks good, not great...but looks like they're already chipping.
The Jumpmen are clearly in different spots on the shoes...but if it's a B grade I guess small defects are to be expected? In my (limited) time here, I've learned that people's opinion of MentalKicks is highly varying: either people are content that they sell B grades or they're certain that they sell high quality fakes.
Everything considered, I'd say there's not enough evidence to say one way or the other.

fake
- the "R" on the Jumpman JoRdan looks like a Q
- No 2 3 spacing and jumpmans ball doesn't line up properly
-This recent release patent leather cut in the rear is suppose to be a little lower

I mean Ive seen other b-grades but the fact that the R looks like a Q and the patent in the back makes me hesitant to say these are b-grades. Even the b-grades dont vary that much in patent and lettering.

At this point, I'd pass--real or fake. For as much as you'll be spending, is it really worth the risk?

As with any shoes from these "questionable" sites, you'll most likely have to form your own opinion on them. To me, they're still legit. The "Joqdan" tag isn't enough for me to scream fake especially since you can chalk that up as a quality issue. As far the 23 spacing and the ball lining up, well that's a characteristic that was true on the 1995 and 2000 retros. Not so much the current XI's. If you hadn't said they were from mental kicks, people would have looked at the flaws as another common mishap from a Jordan Brand product.

the 23 on back looks really weird to me. Try to get a picture of the carbon fiber as well. make sure he doesn't put a pair of fakes in the box and tell you they are early release.

Unauthorized early release. Not fake. The Joqdan is the giveaway.
You'd have to take it or leave it. Does the Joqdan bother you?
They're definitely worn too, maybe nothing but around the house, but still.

Those are still legit to me.
They are early release like others said since the 'q' instead of 'r'.
They are worn but not that long based on some minor ceasing on the heels.
