Hopefully people are still checking out this thread.
Me and a couple of people are seriously trying to get Dunks Exchange to come to Denver. Not a halfass, just email them and see what they say attempt. A seriousattempt. We are just at the beginning of this, but we want to get as many people...
Look at the heal/ankle area of those shoes, they look horrible. Thats usually a sign of fakes. As for the rubber covering the mesh, we'll have to wait for an authentic pair comes up. I've seen the scetches of these and those have the rubber lined up with the bottom, like fakes are right now...
It's not just this post. I've been reading your statements for some years now. They always seem to have snide comments in them. Comments that can be taken as being a personal attack.
Enough of this, back to fake spottin'.
Maybe people wouldn't take your posts so personally if you didn't make statements that seem like personal attacks ;)
Anyway, if you go to Instyle, we've been working on these types of guides for a while now. And we are continuing to update and make new guides.

Because the people making these shoes are reading these sites. If we post everything wrong with fakes, they will know and fix them. Tag info, we started saying look at the tag info to spot fakes, they fixed that. We say look at curtain areas on a shoe, they start taking pics trying to cover...
This is what I've posted on several different sites.
Here are some pictures of a fake pair of IV's. I stole these pics from an eBay auction. They are claimed to be size 13.
1- The rubber covering the mesh should be line up with the top of the panel, not the bottom.
2- Stitching looks bad...
