OG 1995 SAMPLE CONCORDS

OG EXPERTS 

Recently I purchased a pair of 1995 Concords 

When I received them, I looked at the tag and it said SAMPLE FTPS 

From my research, I found that there was a sample batch made before the mass production dates, as FTPS means Player Sample 

However, all the FTPS concords are 13.5, which MJ wore. Mine are size 12

Can someone please help explain this? What does this do to the value?

Below is my size tag

I am sure they are legit, just not sure about the story behind them.

Doesn't increase the value much IMHO.. They are not new..If they were new it would increase the value a bit..These are not that rare actually.. They can be thought of as legit early releases or something like that.. As always get a few more opinions...

Few things about sample that increase their value; 1. Different than regular release. 2. They are kept DS. 3. Or they are worn in game with provenance. The shoes posted have none of them.

And lastly the samples that were made early in 95 were made with these tags. For the "45" on the heel and did come in different sizes. Size 12 sample "23" can be for anyone without provenance, so basically you just have a used OG 11
