the same thin stripe

and these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suR7Ce8af-M
have the toe bumper thing

what is still weird is the white tag like you said
I'm in between legit or properly done copy

Yes, Vans brought back the thin stripe - it was used in the 90's and they decided to do some sort of a 'retro'. So the stripe is not our concern.
Other Vans on that site are fake so your Old Skools are fake too, sorry bro.

I don't know man, I'm still on the fence, the site is listed in vans.com as a legit local retailer: http://www.vansdobrasil.com/lojas/?uf1= ... it=filtrar

Hmm, Brazil is kinda weird. Kinda like how NikeSB has it's own factory there, for their own releases. Those Old Skools say made in Thailand. Never seen any Thailand Vans before, either.

I think I have a pair or two from Thailand, but I forget... I know a few years ago I got some slip-ons that seemed to have some slight differences from the norm and I noticed they were made somewhere different than usual (I think Thailand). It was a pair I ordered from vans as well, so they were legit. Unless vans sells fakes from time to time. hahaha

I kind of want to say that the pair moshdix has is legit, just one of those weird foreign variants. Kind of like how japan gets colorways we don't, maybe that's what the different heel tab and whatnot can be attributed to. Foxing stripes change so much through the years that this could just be a pair that sat in a warehouse for a while and they look different from what's out now.

the GRs that I would usually handle were from Thailand, Vietnam and China.

Fake's for sale in Holland(again)

Too good to be true, even if most of 'em are GR...?
Not hating, but seems that most stuff from China/Taiwan/Hong Kong eBayers are fake.
So, I guess being skeptical isn't uncalled for.

These are Japan releases.

Weather they're real or fakes, they're definitely fucking up on their pricing

By no means 100% sure these are fake.. But it looks like the Billy Kirk TH... maybe this was a similar cw that I just missed or don't remember but take a look, if they are supposed to be Billy Kirks.. They are deff fake, they have a rubber midsole instead of leather, also they have a toe bumper, and the toe bumper has some strange stitch pattern I don't remember from any TH cw... I could have seriously just missed this cw. Just thought I'd post em to see what u guys thought, if so.. What a disappointment

Maybe they were like a sample or something it is their same size and that seller seems to have other samples.. I dunno lol

Those are samples, I've seen pics of those before.

Who wants to verify?! I call FAKES! Due to the colors (duh), although rumors are that other colors are coming soon, the packaging has the old label (iphone 4G which is how the first ones came), oh and also the price of $15 shipped! Oh, and he says they fit snug, and he has over 300 for sale !
