Heel clits are only a sign of a fake from the 35th Anniversary onwards.

Like most of us here i'd luv to add a pair to my collection along with all the other bape superstar collabs (there was 2pairs on bapes in my size only 2wks ago) but i'm to scared to pull the trigger its just not worth the risk and getting hit for £400 a pair or wotever for fakes no thanks.
Bapes for me are to hard to prove 100% legit i don't have the knowledge and until i do someone else is welcome to em

Thanks Pokey...I feel ya. It's just so damn tempting...these and the Tate's are grails for me. I just hope the Tate's don't ever get like impossible to spot. The Bape's are so nicely faked, I would almost be cautious buying from a trusted site...they really are getting to the point where they are near perfect.

And ya...the heal clits make it a bitch to spot. People say the fake ones have larger ones...these appear small to me, but large is relative. sigh...

If you look at the laces you can see the white ones say both Super Ape Star and Super Ape Skate (maybe one either side?)...... it's hard to consider any ape stars on eBay to be genuine, unless you have complete confidence in the seller??

That's a good point, they can't be real then.

Nice one Mr SS - I think that's gonna be the new telltale sign on a lot of these newer fakes

Very nicely done-- Thanks Shotta!

Last night I was looking some more, and I noticed that the first two laces also don't underlap. Seems like all new adidas shoes do underlap, BAPES included. This isn't a telltale sign, as they could have re-laced them, but not likely with the original laces still in.
