Its hard to tell with the new breed of fakes.
When you get them through the door, check them out against all the pointers you will find in the other threads.

I wouldn't bid on those mate.
Check out the laces in one photo, they virtually fill the plastic sleeve, legit.
In the main photo the laces look well straggly and a bit limp.
Also the colour of the thing he's taking the photos on changes colour.
You will almost certainly receive fakes from him.
What size are you ?

The worrying thing is this seller has another pair for sale.. Hmmmm ..

Do we think the laces are packed correctly, they look a bit loose in the packet. I though they would be packed quite tightly - like the other 35ths?

(welcome to the forum tho fella..)

Shit dude, only just relaised that you actually bought them.
do us all a service and post loads of pictures, close up of everything, inside, rear, lace holes, toe the lot.
We'll pick 'em apart and help other people in future.
Then when we've proved they're fake you can start the process of getting your money back cos they ain't genuine.

Yeah sorry you came to this site under these circumstances.
If you'd looked at the photos more closely the laces actually do a miraculous musical chairs number.
Check out the action on those bad boys !!!

Yep... this is the place to come BEFORE you buy any moody kicks....

HOW DO I POST PICS, DO I NEED A WEB SITE WITH THEM ON.
THE TRAINERS LOOK QUITE GOOD AS FAR AS FAKES GO, THE MAIN THING THAT CAUSED ME CONCERN WAS THY DID NOT SMELL OF LEATHER BUT A PLASTIC SMELL.

Hi Chris & welcome to the site m8

Are the IB lace tags metal & do they have a trefoil cast into the back of them?

Do they have "adidas" moulded into the soles at the back like the 1's below?

I'LL TRY AND DO THE PICTURES.
THEY HAVE GOT THE TREFOIL ON THE BACK OF THE METAL TAG AND ADIDAS ON THE HEAL OF THE SOLE AS IN YOUR PICTURE
