I like how people on eBay sell fakes for less than authentic pairs like their doing you a favor.

Got my second pair from flight club, does this sticker mean they came from overseas? Originally?
tumbledless swoosh looks cleaner IMO

How did the crease in front of the right shoe already? Did that happen before you wore them?

I would have to dig for them, but yes retail pairs. My Legends are FnL and other recent XIs NdC. I gotta look.

Legit on the right, fakes on left. Toe box shape is flatter on the fakes
Fakes seems to be a repeating tiny triangle pattern while the real seem to be just random pebble speckled.
Left is fake, right is legit.
Coloring and even shine(might not be noticeable in pics) are different.
Here are a couple pics. Will do a more in depth when I have time when I get home after work.

Soft leather.
Creases add "character."
May have happened during manufacturing or while be packaged.
Either way, I've got no qualms.
I don't want my sneakers perfect, I want them to be my own.

Repped. Fakes are getting to close to the real thing.

The shoes my be too big. The soft leather crease in that spot really gives it away. I have it in most ofamous my pairs. I thought I was a 13 but I'm more of a 12-12.6 wearing lows made me realize it. Im actually trying to recover all pairs of highs in a 12-12.5

They need to release the right shoe as a separate colorway

I just wish they would've made the tongues the same color on both shoes, whether it had been black or white. The "Top 3" concept came together better than I had envisioned but rocking a shoe with two different color tongues in uncharted territory for me. Those who've liked the What the Kobe's and Bron's might be more receptive to it because those would be two different shoes altogether on some editions.

There is a noticable difference on the tongue. I will post them for you later and thanks for the support.

Btw yes I used PayPal, not worried for the refund. I'm on a mission to make the seller regret sending me fakes.

I've seen some fakes that have the upper two sections of the tongue almost identical to the real pairs. Some fake factories in China are doing a much better job than others at replicating retail pairs its scary.

The seller used a bunch of pics (had a FSR) the main one kind of looked stolen from an Instagram. In the description they wrote will not send additional pics. I knew going in that they were mostly likely fake, that prices was a steal considering it was on eBay ($260 shipped)
