Sup everyone! I've been out of the game for a minute but recently purchased a pair of DS 2011 BC3. Overall, they seem legit, but I've been checking some of the legit threads and have a few questions about some of the flags I read about.
1) I read that the insoles typically say "Dura Pontex" on the underside and there are usually numbers stamped on the part of the shoe covered by the insole. My Crimson 3's have Dura Pontex insoles and the numbers stamped inside the shoe. These BC3's do not. I am not sure if that is significant or not.

2) The cement tissue paper is a darker color than the paper in my Crimson 3 box.

3) There are slight widow peaks where the tongue and toe-box meet. I read that there have been legit pairs that have this also.

4) The elephant print seems a bit darker and a shade off as I remember. I read that there wear quality control issues with the 2011 BC3's so I'm not sure what to think of the print.

5) The air unit seems to be a bit yellow. Not sure if that's from age. Also, it doesn't have the rounded edge that mu other threes have had. It's more of a flat appearance.

6) The production date is less than a month. Not sure if that means anything.

7) This part of the EP looks a bit strange to me.

The tongues seem to be ok, but the GM game is making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

9) There are no numbers stamped in the box, but there is this QC sticker

10) Every thing else seems to be ok IMO, but any helpful perspective is welcome. Do they appear legit???
