sin`pl Wrote:lozza, you are saying that material used in fakes in diffrent than in real ones. i assume then that you own a legit pair as well? same thing goes with shade of green - it all depends on lighting. look at PYS - their colors are completly diffrent.

I wish Sin' pl if only i had the real deal aswell. I only said this because on close ups of legit ones the material looks different, I could be wrong because when not maximised the photos of mine almost look the same. It's difficult to explain, but on the fakes on close up the material almost has a dot effect, whereas the legit ones seem to have a different weave in the fabric which runs in lines instead of dots It also looks softer.

i'm not saying that you are wrong, but that it can't be a ideal indificator like heel tags in 35th.
according to innersole - this is completly 'normal'. it's just limited superstar edition, i don't think they have put more time in making them. my insole print in top ten (legit pair for sure) was gone after 2 days!
i saw fakes with bapehead in camo pattern as well, so it's all random (like in boston/tokyo/london 35th - they are not in same place on every pair).

i think that the real indicator will be receipt from shop - everyone who owns legit pair will have it for sure, as it wasn't a pair on sale for 40$.

I think it's only a matter of time before they get them exactly right, in fact, they probably have already just that people think they're legit. I reckon alot of the star wars consortiums from China are faked aswell.

i'm checking taobao very often, but i didn't see any star wars soups so far. i guess they are still working on them

I saw these on ebay a while back and requested more pics. The material was right but I wasn't too sure about the print, nobodytouched them they were listed twice. Did anyone see them? Why no bids?

Just goes to show though that with a 35th or "easier" colourway it would be almost impossible to tell

The starting price was £200 (reserve not met) I asked what the buy it now price would be and he asked me to make a realistic offer. I just didn't feel confident enough to shed serious money.

I've just spent the last hour reading through threads like this one so I didn't get mugged - a massive amount of info on here - cheers guys!

Hopefully I can add something to this thread (so I don't look like a twat bumping it for no reason)

Regarding the cloth weave that lozza mentioned, I found some close up pictures of legit camo bapes here:

http://3peat.la/shop.html?/newest-large-40/-/page-1/STA-029

And a half decent pic to show the cloth on the legit ones is this one:



as opposed to the fake "canvas" type material here:




I'm obviously new here so if im wrong about this then mod the thread (obviously) but from what I read tonight while trying to work out if the shoes I was going to buy were fake or not - what lozza said about the cloth difference was clear as night and day to me once I actually found a picture of legit bapes (so thanks lozza!).

hope this is useful
