LC on Supreme Blazers (2006)

[oloxondorlo]

I bought a set of Supreme Blazers from a user on eBay with good rep (here is the listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nike-SB-X-Supreme-Blazer-High-Complete-Set-Sz-9-Red-Black-White-3-Pairs-Vnds-/162622211722?ul_noapp=true&nma=true&si=p1YasuuPMjUgv9TP61gUe4O8fj0%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557) and while trying to sell the red pair, it was pointed out to me that is fake because 1. The tags are different and 2. The tongue isn't as puffy.

I took them to Flight Club LA, and the manager said the leather and how it aged & tumbled looked right, the laces were legit, the soles & zoom air looked good, and the detailing is exactly right. So I'm just confused as **** - anyone can help me out?

I looked at some old forum threads, and found out there were B-grades that had different tags, but mine don't have it marked w/ sharpie:

The results could vary based on the specific time it was manufactured. It could be the manufacturer's fault or the could be from different year

I'm saying its legit or fake, that could be the reason

So even if it was a limited one-time release, there could be variations?

Correct

Different factories could be producing the same model, however, the materials may vary. Age is a significant other as well. There are many items that you must take into consideration before you can conclude its a fake.

Remeber, Nike and Supreme are massive businesses that have multiple factories. This may be the reason for change

Got it - based on what you're seeing from pics, what's your take on authenticity? High quality fake or legit?

I would say legit, I think that's fair from what I see. Legit

From these pics one can justify that the overall quality of the sneaker looks good. The quality is great, and it matches the legit pair. Age may just be why it looks different
