Got these in from GOAT.

Am usually pretty confident with them and have never had any issues, but the triangle within the enclosed "R" ( Ⓡ ) being blunt at the top instead of pointed kind of throws me off.

They're made in Vietnam for reference.

 
They are authentic.
Pairs in Vietnam are supposed to look like that, the sole texture of a pair in Vietnam is also different. There are a lot of small differences between pairs that are made in China and Vietnam since they are completely different factories.
Replica factories will replicate the pairs from China because they know how to make those versions better then the ones from Vietnam. They would have also gotten access to pairs made in China earlier on. So most factories, if not all, would have replicated the version from China, not Vietnam. This happened to Track Red 1's, I only ever saw replica versions from those made in China.

I wrote some of the differences between those two in one of my comments in these threads here:
