Legit Check...White/Cement IV 1999

[peoplecantdothat]

Hey guys. I'd appreciate some help on a legit check for these 1999 IV's. Thanks so much.

Fakes

No heel bump
Grey on the midsole is glossy and the paint splatters are too thick
Grey on the midsole is a different shade to the wings and backtab -they should be the same
Netting doesn't run parallel with the wings
Insole should be black (with red Nike Air logo when not faded)

Thanks so much for your expertise.

Was pretty sure they were fake, just had no idea why/how with this version. Once you list those detailed reasons, its seems pretty obvious now

.

A quick related question, and something that I should have mentioned at first...The plastic laces loops (not sure what to call them) broke very easily on these. Is that an issue with any of the REAL retro IV's. I plan on getting all the IV's releasing this year, and just want to know how to avoid that, if it is at all an issue.

I've never broken the loops on any pair of 4's. I'm sure the quality of lace loops matches the rest of the shoe on fakes
