They look legit to me.
- yellowing around pods looks correct
- jumpman is in the right position
- the peak on the sole on the back looks good
- patent leather looks to be the right height
Not sure about the production date, I sold mine a while back.
The Nike Outlet at Concord Mills Mall (Concord, NC) has some jordan brand classic 2012's (orange) for $150 (maybe cheaper can not remember exactly.) They also have Air Max 2012 for 139.99. Some decent stuff there if you are looking for it.
