Ok well that makes sense. All I was saying was that I indefinitely saw them as a stock photo on champs website. I didn't know the whole back story. Appreciate it, and sorry @adamovicThe AM90 Currys were going to be released in (Southeast) asian markets exclusively at one point....supposedly there was a series of samples with the 'Nai Ke' (Nike in Chinese) tongue tag. In fact you can see the tag in most of the promo shots from the fall release last year when they dropped in Europe. Champs was the exclusive retailer of them in the United States (at the top of this year when they came stateside) all of their pairs had the non-sample Nike tongue tag. There are plenty of knockoffs with the chinese tongue tag as I saw plenty of them when I was mainland China in February ... when I actually picked up my white 'Nai Ke' air force 1s which has the two chinese characters on it.
Champs only shipped Nike tongue tags ... and unless the original poster has a 'sample tag' on his/her pair -- they are fake.
