my friend pic this up from an ebayer, i dont know too much bout fakes
i told him they look a lil suspect but would like some clarification

facebox looks tooo dark. the shape of the shoe looks off.. You see where the stitching has columns on the entire shoe? the back of the shoe is supposed to have ridges as if the leather pops out more.

Im calling fake.

thanks, pass the info
the jumpman and tongue looks weird and the inner lining too
i would like more in put on these

Fake.

The shape is horrible. Material and craftsmanship also horrible. Deformed tongue and jumpman.
The box is not only a fake laser face, but these would either come in the 1997 black and orange Nike box, or the retro CDP BOX.

Steer clear!

I agree...fake.
Too add the jumpman logo that is showing on the tongue the left leg seems more outstretched than the right one and if you notice the shoe is much too straight cut and lower than a real pair. Adding the the fact that the box is beat up on the edges, typical of all fakes since they are poorly shipped, and it is the wrong box my conclusion is they are fake.
