1985 Air Jordan 1s Bred pickup today... real?

[BuddyC]

Hello everybody here. I just got a pair of supposedly real OG AJ1s bred. I'm not convinced, but with a little research this evening, I'm closer to believing they just might be authentic. Still, I'd like some opinions on these pics and any key things I can check.

Did OG1s have a tag on the inside? There isn't one but it very barely looks like I might see the remnants of white where the tags could have been torn off.

Legit. There was no tag. The tag is the white numbering on the inside of the collars

Thanks. Do you know if the part of the code "7BY" means anything as far as rarity? Every other one I have seen ends in TY1. I think that means the factory it was made in, right? Probably doesn't mean anything special but just wondering. Also, did you or anyone else notice that little round white spot near the edge of the red rubber sole? At first I thought it was just some paint-like spot that I could easily scrape off, but it seems to be a part of the rubber itself. Is that not an uncommon thing to happen during manufacturing?

Legit for sure.

So what could cause that little white spot on the rubber? Is that a possible manufacturing thing?
