Space Jam Legit Check

It's hard to tell just from those two pics, but it doesn't look like there's any spacing between the 2 and 3 on the heel.
 
I'm calling fake.

-The Jumpman on the left shoe of the ankle support is facing away from the pull tab so that indicates that it is either from 1996 or 2000.
* with that said, the bottom sole was never icy blue. If kept in a temperature controlled area, the icy sole would still remain pearly white

-Looking closely at the carbon fiber plate, it looks to be a blue and black carbon fiber. Space Jam's only had an all black carbon fiber
- The "JUMPMAN JAM" on the tongue is on the 4th lacing when it should be ONLY on the 3rd.

I'm only judging from the pictures posted above so don't quote me on this. If you want to be 100% positive, ask the seller to take more pictures of the third lining on the laces, carbon fiber plate, size tag, and the shoe's entire body.
 
Fake:

Carbon fiber in the first picture should be all black...not black/blue. Also the Jumpman on the left shoe is facing left which would make these the 2000 Retros. In which case, the soles should have more of a yellowish tint. Not Icy blue.
 
FAKE

You can hardly see it, but the carbon plate is blue. That's not the right color.
It's suppose to be all black. <-- Dead giveaway.

The sole on the legit SJ was not tinted in blue. They started doing this on the Cool Grey release, 1yr after the SJ release.

Last thing "Jumpman Jordan" is place on the 4th lace hole, its suppose to be on the 3rd lace hole.

Even though I said the same thing about the bottom sole, it dawned on me that people can tint their soles with dye to make it blue. But regardless it is a fake pair.
 
Thanks everybody good to know. The price kind of made me think they were fake just wanted to make sure! Thanks!!!
 
Fake, blue on the carbon fiber is a no go. 23 on back isn't spaced out. The soles are not supposed to be blue tinted. and tag is in fourth lace spot on tongue not 3rd like it's supposed to be.
