They look kosher to me though.

Too be honest I'm NOT 100% sure they're authentic, mainly because of two things:

1. the laces look too fat, the DMCs come with 'skinny' laces
2. I don't see the Run DMC lace tags on any of the pics

Also, the guy is selling a pair of Adi Dasslers that are definitely fake, so I would be really careful if I was you.

Try asking the seller if he can send you a pic of the lace tags, they should be black with the Run DMC logo in red and white. Most fakes come with ordinary lace tags that has the trefoil on them.

Hope this helps!

You can also ask the seller if the tongues have rubber bands inside, the original Run DMC model have that so you can wear them without the laces.

they bend wierd when your walking if you have no laces in them, well, the ultrastars do

The DMCs do that too...LOL... too bad really, as I would prefer rocking them without laces, but it just doesn't look good IMO.
