Hi, 

I'm a new member, and I relly like Nike snekers, also got a pretty big collection... Now I bouglt a pair of Airmax 90s via internet at a german dealer, and i got some doubts if they are genuine... The first point is, taht the box seems to be a bit to small... 

The numbers in the sneakers are the same as on the box... so far everything seems to be correct. compared to my oter Nike AMX 90s they might be a little bit smaller and harder... And they have a chemical smell - not very strong, but i recognized it...

The first thing is, that the box seemed to be to small?

The AIR MAX Tag on the sides has got a little space

Maybe it seems to be not to be 100%?

...the thing that makes me wondering most is the box that is so small, that the airmax are not loose in it - have you ever seen something like that?
 
also strange is...

the stitching around the swoosh is irregular,

the box seems to be like an original, but if it's sold in the EU, there shold be an EAN , not an UC code on the label... but maybe it's a re-import

the leather at the cutting edges is pretty fluffy and the white leather parts are coatet with something like a thin rubber - layer (very elastic), under that layer the leather has got a darker colour !?

Would be great if I might get an advice by a real nike specialist :smile:

These are probably fake. The production dates on the tag should be listed ahead of the shoe's release date. This particular colorway/model was released in July 2014.
 
Okay, Guys, I've send them back, because they were a little bit too small and I was very unsure If they are original or fake. 

On the other side I really want to have this colorway/model because i really really enjoy it. The seller also has got several of them one size larger and pretends that they are no fake. 

Do you mean with "Not good" that they are sure a Fake?

Thank you for your support!
 
You can notice also the box from the fake is smaller then an original, the shoes are really compressed once in the box , and yes it seem to be the case :wink: ..

Edit : One size larger are clearly fake , i get few 90 of them the EUR44 size is marked as 29CM wich is normally a EUR45 .

Absolutely fake.
