Hi all,

I bought my pair of Jordan 11 concord lows from kickzstore.com.  Its an online shoe store listed under the 'Authentic/Legit Jordan website' thread here at NT and also I did a lot of google searches on them under shoe scams, fakes, and customer complaints and they came up clean.

I've looked at a lot of the threads here to check on the authenticity of the pair I bought and I haven't read about any that have the strange things my pair came with.  I'll list them here so they can be used as a reference for others in case they come across it too.  Here goes:

1)  The box was fine, it came in the black retro box like it should, but the product sticker was missing MSRP.  And then on the same side, there was an additional sticker I've never seen anywhere else.  It's a holographic sticker that read "Nike Israel, Authorized product" and then Hebrew writing and pricing.  Has anyone seen something like this?  I googled it and found nothing.  But maybe this is how it comes to people who buy it from Nike stores in Israel?  Anyone else have experience seeing a Nike country sticker like this from shoes they got overseas?

2)  kickzstore.com has a full size run for these shoes and being as they are sold out all over, makes me kind of suspicious that they are getting it from an un-authorized overseas source.

3)  On the inside of the shoes, there is no shoe size sticker that is typically there.  Instead, on the left shoe is a care guide sticker and on the right shoe there is a product sticker in Hebrew.  The shoe care guide sticker is what set off more alarms in my mind.  I've read of fakes and GM shoes coming arriving with that shoe care guide card in the box straight from the replica factory.  Any one get legit pairs that have this sticker?

4)  Now here are the pics of the shoes

Back side:

Although the 23 on the right shoe looks slightly off, the print is raised and felt like 23s on the back of the Jordan 11 tuxedo lows I have from last year.  Jumpman looks skinny and not fat and also its not touching the black leather.

Left shoe back:

right shoe back:

Front of shoe:

Sides:

Bottom:  Outdoor lighting

Bottom left:  Indoor lighting (looks a little yellowish)

These new release 11 concord lows are supposed to have icy blue soles I read.  I compared it to the Carmines I got from NDC as its supposed to have icy blue soles too.  The concord ones look less icy and almost have yellowing tint to them already.  Although with the outdoor lighting it doesn't look yellow.

Production tags and tongue tag:

 Please let me know what you guys think.  Thanks in advance for the help!!!
 
Honestly, these look good. Could you take a better shot of the Jumpman on the insole and also top of the box?
 
$280 for Concord Low's is honestly over-priced in my honest opinion, hence their full size run. They went for that day of release if lucky, seems like a legit overseas retailer.
 
Yeah def overpriced, but all the Craigslist sellers in my area were doing the GM rep pairs that looked real and I didn't want to take a chance on a potential fake so I went with the reputable online shoe store and paid more for peace of mind.  The extra stickers threw me for a loop though.  I guess as long as the overseas retailer got it from the same authorized Nike factory then its all good.  These shoes came in the same day my Carmines from NDC came in and they both had the Jordan factory new shoe smell out the box which also made me feel better.

Anyone here ever get a pair from an overseas authorized nike dealer?  Did it have similar stickers?  Also, would love to get more legit / fake feedback based on the pics.  Thanks again!
 
1. Shoes is 100% legit. Although the right jumpman is a little higher than it should be but that looks like a QC error.
2. Your sole is fine. I'll attach a picture of mine. The carmines have a more blue tint for sure.
3. Size tag, tongue, and the tissue paper all check out.
4. They probably have full size runs because it's overpriced. Even for resell, I seen them for 220-240.

My pair was from Finishline.

these are 100% authentic. I buy from over seas all the time.
- there will never be a MSRP tag on overseas jordans. MSRP is only on the US pairs with USA dollar prices
- theres also never size tags on the overseas pairs and usually always that care sticker, also some US pairs dont come with the size stickers either
-the ice blue is fine for 11s. If the soles were the same color as the carmines then we would have a problem
 
Thanks for the help guys, I repped y'all.

@dalee7  your pics really helped to confirm cuz they look just like my pair. thx bro!

@cashm0neyand1  appreciate the insight on overseas stocks. as long as their getting it from the same authorized nike factory we're good.  so people working at nike stores over there didn't sell out so they sold their overflow to online retailers here in the U.S. for resell?  Pretty good business.  you mentioned you buy from overseas all the time, are you buying through online stores based overseas or resellers who bring it over from overseas?

@agsz  thx for the help bro
 
i try to buy them from US sites and store because they cost more from overseas. i buy from overseas sites. i dont really buy from resellers at all.
