Nike Air Max experts: I think I bid on fakes.

Mods: Please don't delete until we find out if these are legit shoes or not. Thanks.

I bid on an ebay auction that had a stock photo in the description.

After I bid on the shoes, the seller emailed pics of the actual shoes.

I suspect they are fakes because there is only one loop (white) on

the toungue for the laces. There should be three loops for the laces

to go through.

Does anybody know if these are real or that they are fakes?

Thanks guys.

Can you ask for a pic of the tag so we can see the production code?

i guess those are good fakes because they sure look REAL to me. what missing lace loops are you talking about? as a sidenote, his feedback looks legit.

I don't claim to be an 'expert', but I've been wearing Air Max 95s since 95 and they look fine to me.

the loops on the tongue that the laces go through.

the in-soles are VERY suspect.

i believe that the nike logo should be facing in the same direction (swoosh on the left side).

^ i own 8 pairs of AM95 and the insoles are as depicted above. not sure if they changed them around for the newjack 95s though. i do recall the latest retro neons have a different color insole than the first couple of retro SCs from 98/99.

Your best bet is to make a quick SN on Sole Collector forums and ask over there as they have some true AM95 heads posting there.
