Not sure what you meant by this sentence.
I lived in LA and moved back home. Just brought the shoes back, all the accessories are getting shipped. Bought them in LA at a smaller consignment shop there forgot the name
Well it appears like you got scammed. The inner swoosh is also missing a stitch hole at the tip to give the swoosh a point. On the suede it looks like it might have pen marks, check for yourself to confirm. I see the pen line on the suede in between the end of the swoosh and the black stitching line at the top closest to the swoosh, its basically touching the stitching in the 2nd picture you posted. Some batches of fakes are known to have this flaw.
How many % are you sure they are fake? Btw I appreciate your time in helping me.I tried to trace it a bit:
It is a very faint line not sure what it is. Whether or not its a pen mark, I still think they are fake.
If someone says they're fake, in their mind they are typically 100% sure. Anyway I looked at the areas that studentdriver mentioned and I see what he means and he's right. The stitch holes should have a clean zig zag pattern with clean consistent looking holes. The swoosh on the inside is definitely missing a hole to finish the point. I also noticed this area and the stitch holes are really messy and inconsistent which isn't a good sign.
I figured that may be the case when you asked percentage but studentdriver is pretty good and when he says " fake " he is usually on point and is typically 100% sure after making a call like that. Yes there are some pairs that have factory flaws but I personally haven't seen any with the stitch holes that off.
