Yeah. Thats what im thinking, no more bargains cause no one gonna make you freakin 15 pictures using 15 megapixel camera man.

You've got a totally legit pair to compare them to and you can't tell the difference? They're probably real then. Or yes, we are completely fkd.

Im gonna make a bloody quiz with pict. two shoes next to each other will see whos gonna crack this baby open

[Coyote]

Anyone who got worn rhcps can u post picture of the sole? in good day light.
Thats the only thing i could say they are fake. unless sole is getting yellowish while used, or just with time. loads fakes have that.
Tongues: 7,5 UK is legit. btw

[sniperschool]

these are 'coffinfresh' as opposed to 'boxfresh'
the real test is to wear them till the faces fall off and see what's underneath
the fakes have pictures of Wham! printed on the sole

Interesting.

I'm still very new at this, but just thinking about how business works it is the only thing that makes sense to me: there are always going to be manufacturing defects and irregularities. Hence the need for factory "seconds". There are going to be some shoes that are very close to the "seconds" area, and some that are near perfect.

There are also different people manufacturing these shoes, along with different supplies ordered from different suppliers to get the lowest cost supplies possible. I don't think there are enough things here to deem these shoes fake for this reason.

I went through the same paranoia with my Star Wars Yodas. When you think you get stuck, you want to be absolutely sure that they aren't fake, and you examine every little possible irregularity, even when the shoes are real. I dont know anything about the rarity of RHCP, but there is a chance you got really lucky with finding a great deal, hence the reason why eBay is so popular.

So, in other words, what I am saying is I am praying these are not fake because like the others said, if they aren't we are doomed =(

There is something iffy about the seller but the shoes look all good.

However the label on the box doesn't look right. On my fake LQ's where it says "Made in Indonesia" at the bottom of the label it is printed in a bold font, but on all legit 35th's I have it is in a normal font so you could look at that, along with the registered trademark symbol by the trefoil which is the same. And the printing on the "colourway" descriptions shocking.

As for bargain of 2008 my UP's were only £24 inc delivery and there are no doubts about them

WTF
I feel sick! You killed them man!!!

Got some more pict. on these and noticed few more things.
1. Legit box is slightly of white (cold white) compared to fake wannabe.
2. Laces of legits are darker than others.
3. Wrongly cut material where it meets a shell toe (just above the sole).
Thats all i found. here are some pict.
That maybe just factory seconds or so,
done little comparison to legits. have a look guys.

[pokey27]

I really do think u got 2 legit pairs there m8 tbh.If the the only thing different is box colour slightly and blk laces slightly less coloured that could be down to storage nothing more.I presume codes are different on each shoe and the normal spot checks checkout??
only other thing i can think of is comparing the extra laces colours but even if they differ slightly that could be down to storage issue again.
Looking like 1 hell of a bargain m8

[Coyote]

Thanks pokey, being too fuss aint a good thing is it, usual spots checked, if you go back to first post there is more pict and you can see the tongues inside and numbers dont match... that sticker peelin a bit but it is stuck well on the other one, it is a hell of a mystery this shoes
