What are the experts saying of these
#1

Although I read a lot of how to spot fakes on here I have one pair in my collection that I have doubts about, or actually two pairs because a couple of days ago I received a pair of Supes that I also have some questions about.

The first pair that I have my doubts about are the Sciences, they look fine but the leather looks/ feels a bit thinner than in most of my other Supes and there are some signs of not so good stitching:

The second pair is a pair of papaya/ white patents that I received last week. It is a 2000 release and I'm not really into the fake spotting of older models, that's why I hope that you can help me with these. I know that the heel tag is ok because it's an older release but I have my doubts about the box (the older Supes come in brown boxes but do they have the equipment logo?) and about the labels inside the tongue and the tags. They only costed 34 euro incl. shipping from Germany, so I hope that I did a good purchase on them:

I'm sorry for the amount of pics, I just want to give you as much as information as possible. As soon as I know if they are fake or real you can delete them Wink.

From what i've seen the pat's should be fine and if so a great buy.

For the sciences, i honestly can't say. They do seem legit and i can't really spot out a flaw besides the ones you listed.

I like reading. Do you? read

I know that they made red patents with silver stripes on 2000. If we are talking about the same model then they are not old enough for heel tags.

I'd say they both look legit Marco, although I havent seen a pair with that type of brown tag on the shoe - but looks like they were for an Asian market going by the text.

Both look legit to me. Your only worry is the dodgy stitching on the sciences, but even so they should still be real.

Thanks for helping me guys, now the only thing that I have to do is to put some white fatties in the pat's and rock the shit out of 'em Cool.
