Hey folks,

I got this pair from Hoops factory which is authorised Nike reseller in South East Asia.

Just realised that the “R” on left pair is different, curious whether this is just inconsistency or simply fake pair.

Any thoughts?

Typically that would be a red flag, but after seeing the other photos I would say that this is just a inconsistency.
On fake pairs, some batches have the R slightly off, but it's usually on the right shoe or both. The shoes look correct in all the other photos and you got them from a direct distributer, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about. The chances of an employee switching the shoes for a fake is very small and I don't see any other evidence to support that.

Hi S StudentDriver ! Thanks for sharing your insight. I was quite surprised too when I flipped the shoe over. Haven't seen any LC (be it Authentic or UA) with such "R" logo too.

Really appreciate your help! Cheers. :smile:
