Just got this comment from @thelegitcheckapp , who I am absolutely rooting for. Once again - I never stated 'these are fake'. I posted our process and I stated 'we believe these to be fake.'
...
Not that I don't think others know more than I do - I admittedly know very little about this particular pair (mostly because I have no interest in them), but an authentication letter doesn't mean all that much to me.
...
Furthermore - I would strongly suggest that if you're authenticating shoes you should keep in mind that you're not supposed to authenticate a questionable pair against a *known* fake pair; You're supposed to authenticate a questionable pair against a *known* real pair. ...
Remember, though, no one on my team held the real nor the questionable pair in hand. This ALL based on pics.
...
Once again - based on everything I've posted - there are subtle differences between the questionable pair against the known real pair (swipe) that have yet to be explained - the font and spacing on the tag and the footbed stitching of a different color - and one more thing that several of my followers have pointed out (that I didn't initially see) - the '2' on the heel has some significant differences. ...
Explain those and you've got me. There are differences and when you see them they are obvious.
...
Anyone can write a letter (including myself). Anyone can claim they know (including myself). It doesn't make it so. There are differences that exist and glossing over these don't change the fact that - no matter how physically subtle these differences are - they are substantial. ...
Thanks for everyone's input btw...lots of good comments on these. Crowdsourcing authenticity like @veenomous might actually be out next venture ;)
