LC banned 2016 Air Jordan 1 (yet another)

[cvkickz]

I hate doing these LC because there are so many and I usually just review a few and get a good enough impression to the legitimacy of the shoe. Not this time.

The issues with these shoes are either fakes or just bad QC by Jordan brand. Therefore, I won't necessarily bog the thread with a lot of pics only the areas I'm concerned about.

First of all in accordance with what most say: the lace bags have 4 stripes, the stamped number on the box is compressed, the insoles have the diagonal stripes, the toe box has recoil and is on par with other 2016 releases. My issues of concern are on one shoe (right shoe). The left shoe has no imperfections. The right shoe has a poorly embossed "A" on the "JORDAN" name on the wing. In addition, the middle panel of the tongue (if you consider the top panel as the panel with the Nike Air tag) is crooked. If you look at the picture, one end of the panel is wide and the other is narrow.

Now, I wouldn't care if only one imperfection was there but 2 is pressing it.

The seller had good rep ~4000 sold with 95% good rating. Poor ratings were not due to legitimacy issues.

Thanks for looking guys. Multiple reps to those who help

Not sure why I couldn't add pics when creating the thread.

If I'm just trippin please let me know. I don't care too much about the embossing because I got a decent deal for DS resale ($250)

The A is rubbed off or not completely embossed

I don't know much, but my only worry is that the 10 841018X doesn't look as thick ( as in solid) as it should.

I think that's just the pic. When you feel it, it is thick. I know what you mean though

Wats the sellers name?

looks legit. Nothing throws me off. I would like to see a pic of the backs though to be sure.

 

[cvkickz]

What about the embossing and that mid-panel on the tongue? Just QC?

 

[succ]

I'd pass. The wings looks awkward with that A on JORDAN and the tongue stitching spacing looks short.

I want to say legit but I am going with GM.

Wait for more opinions.

pictures of the box label ?

Box and box label are legit.

I already made the decision to return them due to likely B-grade of the shoe. Thanks for everyone's help.
