Just picked up my pair today from my forwarder. ( i don't trust our country's customs lol). Anyways, getting confused that's why I'm posting pics to validate. With all the new checks coming out need other opinions and povs. These are cellphone pics by the way.

I dont think he can say who is 100% legit because fakes are mixed in with legit pairs.

this is to confusing these days. man those are some good fakes I know I wouldnt be able to tell the difference. Ive been buying J's since 1992. Shoot if the price was right I would buy them in heartbeat but not over retail. if they were sold for like $80-$100 I would buy them but not for 270. I honestly dont know how anyone would be able to tell the difference. Now I only trust NDC, eastbay or footlocker.

Ok, I had 10m to do this quick... here are some of the huge differences I can see. I've got an AR Fake pair and a legit pair...at least a pair that passes Noobs legit list. Hopefully this helps a bit more.
1st, I measured the 2 jumpman torso's and there is a difference, the AR pair is bigger. It also has a slightly different shape and the angle of the arm is different, and there is a bit of a gap between the head and arm on the fakes.
FAKE = well over 3/4":
LEGIT = just about 3/4"
Not only a difference in the CF texture and appearance, but also a huge difference in size. AR Fake is on the right :
This is interesting and has not been brought up. Look at these 2 pics, the first is the AR Fake, second is the legit. Not only is the ball reaching higher in relation to the top lace strap, but take a look at the black material the 23 is on, and follow it across the top of the shoe. Notice how it disappears on the fake, and on the legit it is clearly visible all the way across. This also has to do with the thickness of the padding.
AR FAKE:
LEGIT:
I'm trying to show obvious stuff I found that hasn't been brought up by noob yet, I think one other dude mentioned this briefly and he was dead on. Look at this pic, the AR Fake is on the left. Look at the huge difference in the size of the lace loops! I mean check out the gap still even though the laces are already through. The stitching on the legits is much tighter, no gap, just like my 95's...more on the 95's later. ~
Lastly, this is the only thing other than the extreme white lace loops I can't totally figure out. Here are the 2 different papers.

Now that I got the Fake vs Legit pics out of the way, I gotta show some pics of my 95 OGS, (that I finally got from my storage), vs the 2011's. I know we've already seen a comparo, but I like checkin this kind of $hit out, so figured I'd share this $hit. *Interesting Note.... Both are size 11, the new ones seem bigger length-wise and smaller height-wise.*

was that the only thing that you noticed fake on those tho?
didn't the toes look doctored on both of those size 13's with the red stamps?
joints were peeling apart and yellowed, as if they opened them up and tried to apply glue that would make them milky, just as your predicted.

thats what i'm wondering. I dont care enough to find out, but i'd die laughing if his true intentions are less than admirable. Every time i come in this thread for a good laugh, someone mentions this guys name. "oh great nooblee, please show us the way".
As if NT needs an offical guru to tell you that buying shoes 6 months in advance is a bad idea.
When my grandma would make cookies for a special occasion, if i didnt want to wait for after dinner, and i wanted one right away, i could only have one of screw ups....
I never buy these Chinese special advance releases, most early i go is when my spot gets its shipment, so about 2 weeks in advance. thank goodness for connections.
