Olstar's right, I doubt if they'd bother.. you can pick them up from the Maxx for about £30..

Adidas is where all my maxxs are crap. we only get massive (size 14) stan smiths, and the occasional retro jacket.

I'm sorry to say, but I think they're fake.
The orange heel tab looks a bit off-shaped, the lace tag is not correct (it should be gold with a blue trefoil) and also the laces look a bit too thin. Did they come with spare orange laces? I remember someone on CT having bought a pair of fake NYCs, so there are fakes [of this model] out there.

Ok, I'll be honest I thought they were fakes anyway. Because i didn't buy them from ebay, I got them from Malaysia along with 4 other pairs of superstars (Disneys, Bostons, Bad Boys) for £15 the lot. I only wanted to know how genuine these asian fake look.
They did come with the box, spare laces and all the other bits too and the best bit is they were only £3.75! Shows how much profit these ebayers make though on them! I'm not a collector so I am not bothered if they are fake as long as they don't look really cheap

They had all of the cities series, most of the music (with the exception of the chilli peppers) and loads more 35th (can't remember all) they also had Super Ape Stars and many other styles. The trainers were dirt cheap and you could get nearly any style of trainer you wanted for under £4.
Everything came with a box and the usual bits like spare laces. Loads of other counterfit stuff available too such as PS2 games 40p, Lacoste Polo's £2, Diesel Jeans £2.50 it really was a haven for these ebayers and the police there weren't bothered at all

Unfortunately I won't as it was only a one off holiday. I'd love to go back though especially with all those bargains.
