Spotting fake Common Projects

[hughesbryant]

Hey, I nabbed a pair of CP's from this guy and am kind of skeptical about the authenticity.

They aren't gold embossed on the side, not sure if that's a dead giveaway, but they came with a dust bag for each shoe, I've bought some direct before and they had one large dustbag. On top of that, the interior lining isn't leather, but a plush/meshy material and the "common projects" on the inside where your heel sits isn't pristine.

Another link to similar shoes they're selling.

Any ideas?

they look pretty damn authentic the guy just lied about them being "brand new" when they've clearly been worn. $185 is pretty good for slightly used cps so if you like them you did well?

They do look pretty damn authentic. They are brand new, that style comes in the predistressed sole discoloration. But my questions still stand about the gold lettering and the interior not being full leather.

My tournaments don't have gold lettering. They were purchased from Revolve.

They're fine. Learn 2 Google.

Alright thank you. I looked in the CP thread and i did google, and was unable to find anything.

I mean post questions in the relevant thread rather than starting a new one. Just for future reference.
Threads like this tend to be ignored. There's a good chance it will be ignored in the appropriate thread too but at least people will be clicking on it.

Alright, thanks for the info.
