LC/PC 2009 Space Jams

I know there are some good fakes out there right now and wonder if I have one of them. My biggest concern is the insole/inside of the shoe is glued and not stitched on the inside. Is this typical? Every other pair of Nike shoes that I own has stitching underneath the insole. I took these on trade for a pair of DS Metallic Red Foamposites. Fair trade?

those are real

Those are legit.

Insoles on the XI are glued on, hence why some pairs squeak.

Actually the reason so J's squeak is because of of the zoom inside of the midsole. I've never heard of the mid XI squeaking. I know the XI low ie have a tendency to squeak, and some of the retro X do as well.
If you put some baby powder in the shoe, it sort of gets rid of the squeaking.

Those are legit. That's what the inner is supposed to look like.

And yes, great trade on your end!

I did hear that the CDP 11 squeaked here and there. I guess it would make sense for the 09 jams to squeak on some pairs since they were so close.If you put a little baby powder in there, it gets rid of the squeak. I had a pair of the grey 11 ie lows that squealed like a banshee. Very annoying!
