No worries people, these have been coming up a bit lately and thought it would be
good to do a photo comparison seeing as they are more likely to appear on ebay
without laces, boxes or tags as they get older.
I'm not sure if it shows in the photos but the fakes appear more glossy and feel like ultra
smooth patent leather whereas the originals have a slight texture to the print.
Another thing to feel for is the print on the laces, it has a slight rubbery texture to it whereas on these fakes
you can't feel the print, it's like the fakes are printed with ink and the legit ones are a transfer of some sort.
This goes for any of the other 35th anniversary series with printed laces too, rub them and you'll see what I mean.
