THIS!!!
That is why you need to get photos of the production date of the shoes and make sure that they send you the exact shoe with the production date tags if you are satisfied with the sneakers. Trust me, people have multiples of the official release and early release and are trying to get rid of their early release pair. I'm not saying that you would be 100% safe, but at least you will be even more safer.

So here are my pairs... But one is from Crooked Tongues and the other is from Ebay. Ebay
pair suppose to be from NDC. I have concerns and need the NT Fam's opinion. Do yall think
I got a early release garbage vs. NIKE crappy quality control? All and any comments welcomed
& appreciated! THANK YOU!
Other issue is the pair from Ebay has different colored stitching? The CT pair had black
stitching in the shoes. Has anyone seen this in legit shoes?
This is the tag from the so called NDC pair... Legit?
Well if they are B-grades vs. early release vs. legit pair. I decided to wear them.
Again thanks for your input and expertise.
I think they look fine.
The stitching that restoremysneakers got one pair was silver and the other pair was red if I remember. I wouldn't lose sleep over that pair. Everything looks good to be unless someone can chime in and let me know if I missed anything.

NOOOOOO!!! DON'T DO IT!! I did a tutorial in august on how to whiten mesh on a pair of ds 2000 concords.
Here are the results:

I used RIT.
MIX ratio i used:
1 Cup of boiling hot water w/ 1/4 cup of rit whitener and brightener (liquid)
1 Cup of boiling hot water w/ 1/4 cup of Color Safe Bleach
1 Cup of boiling hot water w/ 1/4 of laundry detergent
1 Cup of warm water
1st i used the applied the safe bleach mixture, than the rit, than the detergent. Than i got all the soap out with water. Make sure you wait about 5-10 minutes between each interval to allow each mixture enough time to soak into the shoe and do it's work. DO NOT RINSE YOUR SHOE BETWEEN EACH INTERVAL! Only rinse out the shoe at the end.
I took an old t-shirt and and tried to get as much water out as i can. After that i put the shoes out it in front of a fan so they can dry. Let dry for about 6 hours. Than repeat the process about 4-5 times.
Should take about 3-4 days.
Items i used were a soft toothbrush and a white sponge. Applied each mixture 1st with the toothbrush than the sponge. Order makes no difference. Please don't scrub hard.

to many men watching other men, its lame!
who cares about the next man, if he wants to purchase from unauthorized sites let it be.
i dont care if the shoes are real,fake,b grades,grey area,white area, black area, who cares!
i know where i get my shoes from and it shouldn't matter to anyone but me.
if someone buys shoes early from air randy and their fake it shouldn't matter to anyone but the person who bought them.
the sneaker police role is wack,some of you grown men sound like clowns-" the PL cutt is too low"," the carbon fiber isnt carbon", "the 23 isnt aligned with my 2002 pair", "the production date is not matching with the date on my pair"
i wish we put more effort into ourselves than hating on the next man!

Just like he said, they look fine. At least your end production date tags were a month later than my pair which I picked up at the Nike Store on release date. I do not think that the color of the stitching is a big deal. Based on your pics, they still look good to me.
Oh yeah, on another note, the production date tag on the left and right shoe of my pair did not match, but that happened with some of my other shoes.

Thanks to the person who posted the MK pair comparison pics. I just canceled my order from the recent restock and they sent me the refund already. Does anyone know if california-sole sells early release pairs too?

But see it does matter because as a whole it is ruining the sneaker game/culture whatever you want to call it. The marketplace and ebay will be/already is flooded with these fake pairs, I am hesitant to purchase off of the marketplace and ebay now. This goes for any jordan, because people have been buying from AR for years.Originally Posted by bklyn style baby

soap and water SHOULD do it. I'de be so reluctant to use anything else on the mesh. Optimums might know a bit more about the affects of a magic eraser and mesh. Shoot him a pm.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
early releases pair :
makes senses, right ?
if its produced around june/july
that's why they have been selling since summer...
legit/general releses pair :
sept/october
late production, better Quality Control
RECEIPT MEANS NOTHING..

i personally would never buy for AR, and i made that conclusion way before cats on here were bashing him, i made that decision way before the 45 on the jordan xi.
i never thought AR shoes were fake but i grew out of having to have the shoes early, so that's why i never bought from him.
Good looking out on that tutorial. I am working on restoring my 2000s right now. I tried cleaning the mesh and was somewhat disappointed but then see that you did the process 4-5 times. My soles are coming along well though.

This is false. I have a pair I bought from Hinnetts and the production date is from June. It looks nothing like the early release pairs from SDS and AR.

Natterjacks still hasn't sent me a tracking number. The guy I emailed said they would give them out this weekend.
Snipes tracking is stuck at 60% for the last week and a half...

so is the consensus that early production dates mean early release aka AR, MK, and so on?
Because my finishline pair has production date of 06/08/11-08/19/11 and my CT pair has a production dates 07/13/11-10/10/11

Snipes will continue showing 60% on the DHL site. You have to begin tracking via USPS. My first order cleared customs in NJ on 6 January according to USPS. Just glad the 2 orders shipped seperately so I wont have the dreaded customs fee for the Snipes order at least.
