Hey NT'ers,
I need some help to determine if these are real on not. the box looks suspect to me but not sure. Need some of you experts out there.

Those are fake

The black on the midsole is too shiny, it should be more of a matt finish
The netting also is too shiny & doesn't run parallel to the wings
The heel "bump" should be more noticeable
Tongues are too padded
The backtab is the big giveaway, it should be level with the stitching. I have circled the areas below to show what I mean...

An authentic backtab comes level with the top of the stitching...


Also, the fold on all '98-'99 silver boxes should be at the top of the lid. On the fake box you can see the fold is in the middle, this is typical withnearly all fake boxes

Legit silver box...

@FIREPOWER23
important detail you pointed out with the boxes
it's one of those obvious flags that get's overlooked most of the time (ie: V retro cards w/red stripe, 3s w/ keychains, etc)
