OK guys, I need some help. So far mostly every pic posted in this thread of these flyknit 1s have had the laces laced up in their usual, standard form which is under then over. I bought 2 pairs of these on release day, one from foot locker and one pair from an online UK site. They came a day apart and the foot locker pair came first. The shoes look great and I have checked and the laces on them are laced under then over. The pair from the UK site came a day later and when I opened them up I thought it would be cool to compare them to the the FTL pair and figure which pair has the fewest blemishes. Well when I was checking out the UK pair I noticed that the laces were laced over then under. The first thing I thought was "fakes???" but I want to know if I am missing something here. Are UK pairs laced differently? I wouldn't think so since I figured they all come from factories in China and lacing standards would be the same but in the past I remember reading about and seeing overseas pairs have extra stickers on the insoles or the lack of red stamps in the boxes etc. Interestingly, the UK retailer where I purchased these from have images of these flyknit 1s on their website with the laces laced over then under just like the pair they sent me. Wondering if this is just normal bc if they were really sending out fakes then why would they upload the actual fakes on the site instead of Nike stock images. I have attached some images I took of both pairs below. Excuse the bad quality of my camera. The pictures with both shoes in it have the UK pair on the left and the FTL pair on the right. The pictures with just 1 shoe per pic are arranged with the UK pair posted first followed by the FTL pair.
UK - left - laces go over, then under
FTL - right - laces go under, then over
This pic shows the UK pair having an extra sticker on the insole which I've seen before.
The FTL pair does not have the sticker.
The UK pair also has different production dates dated earlier than the FTL pair. This raised eyebrows for me but it could be nothing as the shoes go into production on varying dates around the same timeframe.
The FTL pair as you can see went into production later.
Now this was pretty alarming, the UK pair came in the typical OG Nike Air Jordan box we're all used to seeing for 1s, but the box they sent me is missing the suggested retail piece of the tag that you can usually tear off. The edge of the size tag is completely flush too with no signs of tearing or perforations at all. Does anyone know if that's standard in UK where they just don't come with the suggested retail piece on the tag or do we have something here?
Here's the box for the FTL pair with the perforations separating the size tag from the suggested retail part. The back side is yellow.
So as you can see my NT brethren I need assistance and I would like it to come from a well-knowledgeable source and to avoid someone just playing devils advocate with my fears. Thank you all
i noticed this too
Feeling the royal ver more than the bred as well.
Love that smell, would shoot it in my veins if I could
Same here, such a great smell 
Nope. I just ask a mod about this. Cause I thought it was just the moble version. He said they changed the layout altogether. He also said its a possibility for it in the future.
I'm currently overseas and every Jordan I have purchased from Nike.EU come like your UK pair...so IMO they legit....don't quote me but I think the suggested retail price tag is not added for overseas pairs do to the currency not being US Dollars...OK guys, I need some help.
