I noticed something similiar on the city authentics. I picked up a Kobe from the NBA store in NYC and ordered a LeBron from the Lakers Store. When the LeBron arrived, The numbers and name were shiney compared to the Kobe numbers that has just a flat solid color. Not sure if u can tell by the pic...

It’s a 44...was worried about length too but it’s only 31” from top to bottom. Pretty much the same length as a Medium Addidas swingman i have from last year.
