first and last ones do it for me IMO, as do the colours
sorry to be so annoying but any other ideas?

I'm not a expert outside of Jordans...

It might sound trite, but why not head down to Glue or Hype DC or whatever.. see what's on the shelf?

that and how do i know theyre fakes?
any real telltales?

With the Vs, there are two colourways which you'll find as fakes:





The first of these was recently retroed, the second last year, so there are more real ones out there than bootlegs. General rule of thumb: If the price is too good to be true, be VERY suspicious.

You could always post the link here if you're concerned about an Auction.

BTW here's a link to a complete inventory of Jordan V colourways.

fair cheap shoes if they aint

[dirge]

Both look very suspect.

The first one is selling Air Jordan colourways which were never released, and one model which is slated for released well into next year.

The second one is selling Air Jordan IVs at about 5% of their worth. They HAVE to be fakes.

twas what i was thinking
but how could they fake so many different ones
one of them has something like 150 AF1 varients
if i pay through paypal, and they state that their real and theyre not, im protected by buyer protection arnt i? and can we prove theyre fakes if i got them?

[dirge]

Not sure how PayPal protection works.

Here's some legit sites:

www.uptempoair.com
www.citysole.com
www.eastbay.com
www.flightclubny.com

just a little more pricy :P
but is there a way to tell theyre fakes, apart from a lower quality i would assume?

blackie, you might also like these:



Air Jordan Fusion V - a mixture of Air Jordan V and Air Force 1s. I hate them, but yeah, figured I should mention them anyway. Available at Footlockers.

now theyre quite snazzy dirge, i must go to my local footlocker today and have a look

also that site is fakes
the online help told me :P
silly people

so shifty

[dirge]

Today's effort:



That does me for Air Jordans (unless they do a couple of original colours I don't expect to see). I'm not complaining - quite happy to have Breds (the black ones) and Taxis (the white ones).

There's something very unnatural about getting up at 4am on a weekend... but it was worth it
