Can I please get an LC on these 2016 Bred 1's. Purchased from Flight club retail popup in Miami, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks.

These look legit to me man. Studentdriver will hopefully comment and lend his authentication skills with to let us know what he thinks.

These are authentic in my opinion.
Swoosh looks good, shape looks fine, wings logo is right, leather looks correct in my opinion, and your shoe seems to have glitter on it, which so far only seems to happen in authentic shoes.

The bad part is that your shoe has the corner stitch flaw in two areas out of the three that I can see, this doesn't really matter unless you try to sell them later on because there are people that assume a shoe is fake just from that.

I appreciate the insight.

There was one more thing that I found questionable though.

Here's a picture of my midsole pattern compared to a pic that I found on a real vs fake comparison on fakeedu.com. Mine seems to match the fake one. I also compared it to my 2017 royals, and it's as if the pattern is opposite as well. Is this is definitive red flag? If so, it's one I don't hear people talk about much.

Interestingly enough, I found a part of the sole on one of the shoes that matches the top legit picture. You can see if you go from right to left where the pattern flips.




I also checked my Royals, and the same thing lol, the pattern reverses at a certain point. Definitely didn't notice that before



This is on the right shoe of each pair for me. I'm thinking this may be normal.

The texture of the soles can vary depending on the quality of the molded rubber soles. Even the stars on the front vary, you can get one shoe that has really detailed stars while the other can have fat looking stars.

Those Fake education photos are pretty outdated, replica makers keep constantly making better batches of fakes. Here are some top tier fakes:

This is a fake pair and the images are from eBay.

It's scary how good the fakes have gotten. How would you tell that one from an authentic pair?

I try to look at the leather, fakes usually have over tumbled leather. The shade of red does not look right either, retail pairs are a bit darker. The placement of the wings logo does not look good on this pair. Also the extra sets of laces are wrapped wrong.

This pair looks better, I think they are from the same batch.

The leather on this one is not as tumbled and looks darker. But in the back, the bottom heel area looks too fat. The red leather on the toe does not look right to me, the perforations look small in my opinion. Also the laces are wrapped the wrong way again.

These new fakes don't have many flaws. I don't have this pair so its harder for me to see the flaws and I prefer not to legit check them if I don't have good pictures.
