Sorry to inform you but your pair appear to be fake.
If you look closely you can see the subtle differences in the authentic tongue, and the tongue on your pair:
1) The authentic tongue has a raise embossing on the outer rim of the tongue. Your's don't.
2) The light green/dark green pattern is more pronounced on the authentic tongue; colors are more vibrant as well.
3) The position of the "35" Hexagon on the tongue is higher up on the authentic pair than on your pair, offset at a different angle as well.
4) The purple/white artwork just underneath the hexagon again is brighter and positioned differently than on your tongue.
These things could be attributed to the angle and lighting of the photo, but the chances of all of these inconsistencies being explained away by this is highly unlikely.
Suggest informing seller and requesting a refund if possible.

Looks perfectly legit to me. That tongue is probably just bad quality.

I don't know man.
The tongue rubs me wrong. If it were another model, I'd probably overlook it. But the fact are the WTKD VI have been heavily counterfeited (and done very well unfortunately
I would have to get them in my hands, under good lighting to make a definitive ruling.

Can't see the pics from the first post anymore but I still think these are legit. The box label in the listing you mention is difficult to spot but from what I can see I see no differences with the one above.

Not that it matters anymore otherwise the OP would have been still here.

Thanks for the input guys. Yes I agree the tounge really bothers me but literally EVERYTHING else on the shoe is 100% accurate to other WTKD6s I see. It's tough because it's just that one tounge which is a little off but this is something you would NEVER notice unless you got super close and compared. Size tag and box is legit along with the receipt. Such a tough call, I'd love to hear if you guys have any more thoughts I can post more pictures if requested
