Yup, I got some US 11.5 / UK 11 Adi Dassler samples. They don't have sample stamped, but it does say sample on the label inside the shoe (on the tongue).
They're still a mystery though as I've never come across anything like them. There's a few things that differs from a 'real' pair of Dasslers (for instance they only have 7 laces holes instead of 8 and the leather used for the upper is slightly different too), but there are no heel tabs or any of the other usual signs of fake 35th and everything else looks spot on and they're well assembled too.
Also, the fake consortiums were only made up to size US 11 / UK 10.5, so I doubt anyone would go to the trouble of doing a sample pair of fake Dasslers half a size bigger the rest.
Superstars are indeed super...

I would suggest emailing the pictures of the tongue to adidas customer care in the uk and they can authenticate the shoes.
They will normally ask you to send the shoes in for authentication but I know of an example a couple of years ago where they authenticated a pair of top secrets from pictures, so just push them to get the brand protection manager to have a look at the pictures.
Also, adidas do normally only produce size 8.5 UK samples because they apparently look better than any other size. There are always exceptions to this rule and it is very possible that number 35 was only every stamped as a sample.
I would give you the brand potection managers direct email, but I know he won't appreciate it. I know from experience that he would help, you've just got to get past the barrier of customer care.
You used to be able to get his details from ebay as adidas are a VeRO member, or by using google.
