These were legit bro. Date stamp, qc sticker, don't mean nuttin.. I've had pairs from legit retailers and didn't always have those. Plus anyone can add a stamp inside and photoshop that qc and make it a sticker. I don't know why some members keep asking to see that.I own a pair of these and pics...
If you gon' quote me please quote the whole thing. in the end I said:
So obviously I was speaking for myself without making it a rule of thumb. C'mon bruh.
Aside from that. The commonality in the flaws are becoming funny to me. My infrared toro 6's had the same issues when compared side by side...
Hey man, lol.. it's ok to delve into it as long as it helps. Maybe you already knew but somebody else might not know. Just sayin clear soles equal fakes doesn't educate at all to someone new. I think you playing the referee on me is useless as opposed to what I said. or is it just the "legit...
What's wrong with a friendly reminder? New members come to this site not understanding the big deal about the yellowing. Do you really they think they go through the old posts to educate themselves? Apparently the OP didn't know much about it or else he wouldn't bother to even post these pics...
These are fake IMHO. The collar in the back is too thick, the shape from side view is off and the yellowing is same as all the GM ones I've seen. GMs also sell these with yellowish soles around the pods just like the ones you posted. Just keep that in mind that GMs have them too generally...
The difference in the shade is too significant... I have never seen two authentic pairs with that much difference in the shades. You know what they say..? DOUBTS = FAKES (just to be one the safe side) these cost way too much to ignore doubts on authenticity. But that's just me though.
Well, as everybody mentioned here, because of the most obvious (clear soles = recently manufactured = not from Nike = fakes) the math is very simple. So no need to look for further issues. It's not about a preference for yellowish soles, but rather the easiest way to determine retail releases...
For your reference, the sticker shown is legit. China releases come with that sticker (at least in that time). Need more pics but could be legit though. Sticker isn't a red flag if that's what you're asking.
