Please help settle this Cactus Jack 4 LC

[White05gt]

Reddit has been undecided, with some people saying fake, and some people saying real. The shop I purchased from has offered to take them to Sneakercon to have them LC'd there. I finally got some decent lighting and wanted to ask you all as well. I don't want to put them through the trouble of doing that if they don't need to. Any input will be greatly appreciated, thanks for taking time to help me out.

These look really good to me. The shape, the netting seems right, the color of the upper, blue of the midsole, the lace fans (or whatever they're called) heel tabs and box/box label all look good to me. Are the heel tabs somewhat stiff ? And are the laces waxed ?

Laces are waxed. As for the heel tabs, the only other 4s I have are the Oreos with leather tabs and they are definitely stiffer than those.

Oh yeah the heel tabs should definitely be stronger than the oreo's. I mean they should have some resistance when you move it back and forth. Even though the fakes are getting better and better, sometimes they use thinner material and the laces should be waxed so again, not necessarily a tell but sometimes fakes get details like that wrong. I do believe these are authentic.

Thanks for the input. I got a little paranoid. They looked really good to me and for some reason I just couldn’t get the lighting right for the pictures I used on reddit. All it takes is one person to throw my head into a panic these days with how good fakes are.

Also, the heel tab is as stiff as my retail bc3s.

There's ya go. That's a good comparison. I just had to feel my bc3's to be sure lol.
