Tough to say without seeing the insides of the arms, but regardless, they're tacky.

I think those are fake. If I remember correctly, the red Prada logo sign should only be on one side of the frame as opposed to both sides. Either way, there was no point to start a thread and those look horrible.

I bought some from Optical Shop of Aspen that have the red logo on both sides (if you are referring to the logo on the arms) which should be legit.

If they're real enough fakes, wtf does it matter? (running, hiding)

This.
If you bought them from a street vendor, they are likely fake.

The pair I have from '07 has the logo on one side only. However I question whether someone making fakes would bother with the rubber inserts on the backs of the ear pieces.

I've seen fake Rolexes with automatic movements and such, details make the difference between a $5 fake and a $30-40 fake.
