Did GOAT finesse me?

[Cali4niakid]

So I bought 2 pair of bred 11 2019 version from GOAT a week apart and they came in at different times. Same size but one box was smaller then the other, the shoes even looks different. One is a tab but smaller and the other is bigger. Who has this same issue? Or did I get finesse? Because right now they are playing dumb.
Thanks in advance!

I have a ton more photos too

I don’t see a finesse. These were heavily mass produced, there’s going to be minute differences on each pair. Love them the same however.

I get it but put yourself in this situation. You pay over 300+ after tax and shipping. One shoe come fast but the other comes 3-4 weeks late. Just to find out the shoes don’t even match up. One is obviously smaller and one is bigger. I think the bigger one isn’t legit, maybe unauthorized but who knows

$300+ each pair*

Look at the toe cap difference. One is more milky than the other. More noticeable in person. Last time I’m buying anything from GOAT and I have other shoes from them too. If it ain’t from your local sneaker shop or Nike. It ain’t 100

I get the whole inconsistency. I’m not new to the game. But like I stated, same size shoe from the same website GOAT. One is clearly smaller than the other

Do they both feel the same on foot?

 

[Cali4niakid]

Hell no. One is a looser than the other. This the last time I’m buying off third like GOAT etc

Can you pic them sole to sole?

This is the only thing I got here. To me both are authentic. All the materials are the same. There really are no tells at all. Except for the in your face height difference to which many would say in their opinion is a tell. Unless you were to have two different pairs that are like yours in hand next to each other, no one would think any different on both of your pairs if legit checked individually . In this case with this being THE most produced shoe there may have to be an exception made. Several factories made these. So it may be possible for a specific factory to have a quarter inch difference in overall height. Does it make sense? No It dont. You would think they would ALL have spot on overall height. They SHOULD I agree. But, the leather, the shape, the red, the ballistic mesh, the Jumpman, the pl, EVERYTHING else MATCHES. So I have to go with conflicting specs from factory to factory. ONLY because of the historic amount of pairs made. Im sorry you have to go through the problem here. But I am saying both are real until proven otherwise.

It’s funny though because I

Thank you! I really appreciate the input. To me it looks like an unauthorized pair but who knows because that’s the gamble buying off these online websites. Did I mention on one pair GOAT notify me that they were looking for a “replacement” but all sudden shipped out the shoes. Anyways Which one do you think looks better/closer because one is a lower cut patent and a higher cut patent leather.

P.s. I’ll post more pictures when I get home

Which one do you think looks better/closer

The pair thats higher. But again, my opinion stands, I think both are good.
The pl height on the lower pair can be argued closer to the 96 though.

I thought the same too. And most of the pairs I seen in person had the similar higher cut ,That’s why I tripped out. But if they were on feet no one would be able to tell

Black light hits.

You some how have been able to have two threads on your pairs lol. No big deal though. But really, I think also and agree with timmybrixxx here. Both look legit in my eyes. Enjoy em.
