I've never seen any fakes of this particular model, so I'm guessing it's legit...

they look f'kin awesome tho

how much?

50 pound....not bad considering ive never seen them before

I'm gonna say fake.

Mainly because that insole would point to a re-issue and I never heard of the black weave's getting re-issued.

But I'm most probably wrong.

(And what's that box about?)

Aah, I could well be wrong then!

What's the date on the FTR's? 2001 ish?

That insole is in my black snakes too, I was just assuming it's a late insole but maybe not.

The WV's were around late 90's to early 00's I think? Anyone got a pair to check the date?

id say put them next to some genuine ones

and if they look a similar shape, are put together similar, i.e. check the distance between the stitching

and look pretty sound, id say they are real..

are they meant to have metal rings around laceholes? i think they may

---

- Effel - 20-05-06

No, cause these are Superstar 1s, not 2s.
