No, those foams are legit. Clearly, they've been worn, so they wouldn't be as icy.

I know there are fakes of virtually all kicks now, but have fake Suns surfaced yet?

Yup, they were out before the authetics released. I pay attention to the replica sites and replica reviews on YouTube so I know what fakes look like. Kinda crazy that someone would actually think a real foam might be fake, AFTER buying it lol. Educate yourself, simple. That way you don't have to rely on other people. idk, I'm just different than most...

^Dang. I'm not a pro, but they look alright for fakes...the foam is shiny, carbon fiber is not straight out checker board. The dead giveaways for me are the shape of the foam on the rear panel not curving up around the ankle area and the inner sole is all black.
You dudes think this is a legit pair? About to check it out tomorrow. Price is good..pretty much retail and tax, and I compared them to pics and vids and they seem cool. I even compared the SKU on the box to another one in the same size and all numbers match. Only pair of Foams I have are the Fighter Jets so not really a pro at this.

I wonder how many dudes tried a switcharoo before...buying a legit pair from FNL, Nike, etc. and swap a fake pair in and try to return those :x

looks legit. might be an euro/asia pair if it doesn't have the perforated lines from the ripped msrp tag.

Yeah I actually regret not picking these up. They look amazing every time I see them
Word. Big mistake. Not worth the 350-500 aftermarket value.

The section near the msrp seems to be ripped up. Couldn't get a good look. If you feel hesitant or unsure then don't do the deal. Pay the extra $ for peace of mind.

Thanks, guys. He only wants $250 for them, which is retail and tax pretty much. I couldn't meet up today anyway because of unforeseen work issues.

It's cool either way. Everything seems to match up down to all the sku numbers that I compared to another size 9 on the box label and the sole area where it's black. It's only the perforated thing I'm iffy about and he has no receipt.

Honestly, you should be good. Fake foams are definitely easy to judge.
If they are early release foams they are still real foams and if they are flawless then you got yourself a good pair.
The box tag should be the least of your worries if everything else checks out.

you dudes trying to get me to burn the buckaroos today. He said he copped for his coworker who lagged on the payment and never paid. Now he's stuck with them. He said he paid $260 for them but just want to unload them so he can move onto other releases...probably the foams next week

Thanks to the dudes who helped. I picked them up this morning. Looks legit to me, and the seller is an OG shoe hobbyist. We talked about old days and various campout stories during our younger days

I honestly haven't even worn mine yet... I'm gonna sell or trade them I think, Sneakercon is coming up this week, should be decent for trade bait. Only problem is it's gonna be difficult to trade retro's for these. Foam heads are harder to find nowadays.

I feel the same way about the sport royal foams that just released. I like these suns foams better tho, I havent seen the sport royals on feet tho, I know the suns look amazing on feet, ive only rocked my pair a few times Im gonna have to break em out more.

Came out of iHop and saw a dude with these on... hard as F.
I rank these 2nd behind the Royal 1's.
To see these kicks in person is a sight to behold.
Dudes can have on whatever these ****'s will **** on anything around they're that good looking.
I didn't get the metallic red's but I would put those as 3rd.
I haven't worn these yet now I regret not doubling up.

I think I've worn these maybe once or twice. I've worn the sport royals the most.
But when I have worn the suns, they got mad compliments. They really look good on feet.
