Let me know what you guys think. Seller claims they've only been worn once. Do these look legit in your opinion and how much would say these are worth? Thanks in advance!

I would say these are fake. Here is why, even though the soles looked like they have "aged" well, the oxidation would be a lot deeper. Also the hue of the sole would be darker at this point. Another point is the fact that the 23 on the heal looks way off.
Most recently I had purchased a pair of fake concords online because I thought they were real. Sticker is what made me pull the trigger. These people selling these fakes think they can place a sticker and make them looked like they have aged.
Fact is these are too good to be true bro. 100% fake.

You gotta remember that this specific release was notorious for having the crappiest quality out of all the 11's. Which is why a lot of the fakes out there sometimes look better than the RD pairs. The flaws include the 23's being misplaced on the heel tab but never the wide 23's that are seen on fakes, the PL cut being too low or high, the midsoles at the heel looking very misshapen, and many other reasons. The deep yellowing of the soles around the pods can also vary from shoe to shoe. Lighting can also affect how the look in pictures.
what about the whole cardboard thingWay worse than the CDP's. The only thing wrong with those is that the 23 eventually completely comes off after lots of wear.
Under the insoleWhat cardboard?
MANY older Js have cardboard under the insole.. Specifically older 6s, 7s, 8s(almost always) and 9s...Honestly my CDPs are still holding firm.. I think people shoulda just got a half size bigger for the ones who complain they are super uncomfortable etc..They are a tad narrower then the latest retro IMO. The 23s were poorly done though, ill admit that. I think people also complain about them because they were hard to get and many peeps were salty..Under the insole

I'd like to see them. For educational purposes though, not because I doubt. Thanks!I second that. But back to OP, I still stand by my opinion that those SJ's are 100% legit. I have 3 pairs and these are probably my top favorite releases. I have seen many legit and fake pairs in person and compared many side by side which helps me determine the authenticity through pictures alone.
If you guys are wondering why I have 3 pairs it's because I have one beater pair from release day that my ex camped out for me for my bday, another pair that's DS that I got in a crazy trade where the guy actually accepted gamma 11's alone and I was skeptical at first but fully checked them out were surprisingly legit. Then a pair I got most recent that I wear all casually. I've also seen many pairs with different yellowing like I mentioned vary from pair to pair in person and sometimes when I took pictures of the soles depending on the lighting, it wouldn't show as much as it actually looks in person. I can post pics of my SJ's if you guys would like me to and explain in depth what aspects confirm authenticity.

these are 100% legit in my book. worn once, 400 shipped is fair.
