ok, just picked these up at the post office, and it's definitely the shoes in the pics, but I still can't figure out exactly what they are.
The white leather is shinier than the leather used on the real Dassler's and the insoles have a different shape too + the small 'padding' is glued to the bottom of the insoles as opposed to a 'separate padding' which the real ones have. The laces are a little thicker too and they don't have the '1 Celebration Adi Dassler' sticker on the inside of the tongue. None of all this is consistent with neither the real ones nor the fake ones though.
However, the assembly looks good, there are no 'heel clits' and the gold stamp on the side looks exactly like the real one. They also feel more or less like the real ones when worn considering the different insoles and the 7 lace holes. The stitching looks like the real ones too and they have the right 'curve' around the ankles which is something the fake ones usually never have. And of course there's also the fact that the good consortiums haven't been made in this size + I've never seen any fake consortiums with 'sample' on the inside label.
If these are indeed samples I'm guessing they were made at an early stage of the process though, but to be honest I think they could be fake too.
