Be vigilant and you could get lucky on whites. I got my pair for 475 last month via pp invoice, the guy had them listed for 500 BIN.

Just beware the fakes - I'd say about 75% of the listed pairs are fufu but the tells are obvious

I've seen some for those prices, especially on eBay but I feel like I'm just not good enough to LC one of them. I feel like a good fake pair would fool me. Regardless I'd be willing to pick up a pair at that price if it was pp invoiced for goods and services. Keep me in mind if you find a deal like that in a size 10 man.

gsmokez The 10s have been few and far between lately.. I've been on the hunt. Legit pairs are $900+ on the bay, $750+ on stockx/goat. Seems like they're drying up or no ones selling.

Yeah I noticed. The blacks seem to be plentiful in 10 and the whites are impossible to find. That's another thing that really bugs me though. What makes people think they're going to sell these shoes higher on eBay than the sellers on StockX/GOAT? Either way, no way I'm paying 700+ for these shoes, they're worth it in my opinion, but I just can't justify that money on shoes. Gonna have to be 400-500 for me to be interested, not sure if I'll ever get that deal though.

White 12s? What size tho?

 

[tre50000]

They are going to be hot ima cop them 

 

[ELTORO84]

Loving my Black Pair of OVO 12s. Glad to have both White and Black in the collection. Might pick a White X to complete the set. Really want JB to release the OVO 8s.

 

[agzie]

Got some white 12s on the way.. paid more than I've ever paid for a sneaker. But, they were my most wanted last year.. moved a pair of Yeezys to offset the cost. 7 shipped for 10.5, seemed decent since they're 750+ and appear to be easing back up. If blacks keep dropping I might grab in 350-4 range..

Strings first, thats the most common way to tell. Then the jumpman tab on the side...shouldnt be short with an edge at the top right. Then the Owl on the insole if they show it........looks like he`s high on meth by the eyes
, lol.

So you are saying the jumpman tab on the sides SHOULD be large with a point...that's one of the indications of a fake 12

 

[whoaitsgee]

$525 for a sz 10, is this fair?

Assuming you're talking about black 12s, it's about average right now.. $500 give or take.

Thanks chief. Yeah, Black XII OVO's. These things are so nice and unique.

What do you mean by strings? I know I was told the jump man tab shouldn't be too tall.

 

[614erich]

My jump man tab is two different sizes.. They made the left and right on two different lines. Shoe laces have jump pan on lace tab in gold

My white pair have different tab sizes too, maybe because they have different made date! It happen sometimes on XII's

 

[gsmokez]

Damn, seems like LC'ing them could be a crap shoot. I know the fakes have the jump man on the lace tips too, maybe not as clean looking though.

 A lot of fakes have more  of a glossy gold where as real pairs has like a matte gold color.

I'll keep an eye out for deals, maybe post them in the lc section before buying.

 

[thetrillionaire]

The soles are usually the best test. The fakes are very clear, where as the real ones are more translucent than transparent.

Owl on box lid usually a big tell too, obv I don't rely on just the box but good to have multiple check points

 

[dannyarcher]

Different size tabs on the 12s shouldn't be an issue, it seems to happen to a lot of the 12 colourways

 

[614erich]

+1 different size tab happens along with jordan side tabs diff in size. Best lc is ovo on bottom. Should be more in the background and not in your face. I'm convinced all that's left on bay, kicks, posh are all fakes, same goes for wings.

 

[pacmagic2002]

The way they`re laced...........Fake manufacturers lace them differently than retail pairs. some sellers re-lace them, but most dont.

 

[pacmagic2002]

The jumpman tabs might be different sizes, but they will NOT have as sharp of a curve at the top, ill find pics to show what i mean.

 

[redblack35]

Real pair have a smooth tab (real XII's common tab) but fakes comes with a more edgy tab (red lining)
