There's an extra layer of plum sock liner over the lunarlon insole it seems. Weird. Looks very close to being legit but I think they're fake as well

I follow them, thats the tweet message I saw while I had some corn on the cob in my hand, damn you dinner!
I was about.......14 minutes too late to the party, everything gone, I wanted another pair of denims, soon as I sell these foams I am probably going for them and blue glow and then I gotta chill for a while.

they are getting better, the fakes that is, gotta be careful, I mean those are pretty obvious to me because I look at mine every night because I am in awe of that shoe but you really have to be careful now

I mean the venice beach naturally draw eyes. If I never saw them before I would stare too. They are still ugly shoes imo.

Yeah gotta be careful. Earlier fakes seem to be easier to spot as the front of the Swoosh didn't overlap the toe box overlay. The mesh might be the hardest part for them to replicate so look for that. Fakes don't have the ghost swoosh i believe. They are getting better at perfecting it that's for sure.

The mesh has gotten better on fake MCs, but the mesh pattern is too consistent. On real ones the mesh becomes finer making 2 diamond shapes right under the KB24. That's always been my guideline for MCs.Yeah gotta be careful. Earlier fakes seem to be easier to spot as the front of the Swoosh didn't overlap the toe box overlay.

I was searching Taobao just for fun, they had almost every pair with the ghost swoosh, but idk if they were GM MCs or what, they looked pretty on pointYeah gotta be careful.

I regret passing on the venice beaches after seeing the gray lace swap. Any place selling a size 11 for close to retail?

I bet those same dudes who hate the VB's so much would be drooling if they saw Kobe rocking them in person.

The vast majority of fakes I've seen have the XDR tag on them. That doesn't mean that all XDR Kobe's you see for sale are fake though.

Naahhh... VBs still just aren't for me.
More power (and pairs) to the people who actually like them tho...

I wonder how many campers he got compared to MJ since they both have camps in Santa Barbara.

i can relate. I think its a lot of chaos on one shoe. Too many colors. Then again, at some angles, it looks nice. I'm on the fence with these.

Now I'll gladly give up my $$$ for those Red Boas... whether Kobe was seen wearing them or not.

Those red boas are red/black/white? Or is it navy?

The only flattering angle that colorway has, for me, is where it's sealed up in it's box... hidden away (IMO).
From previous pics, I'm thinking it's black, not navy. And they will be bought on the 27th...
