I’m confused. You have a photo labeled with a real pair and a fake pair, so then you know which is what?

The images with the “fake” and “real” labels are just for reference that I found online

The image with the hand holding the shoes up is the seller’s image

I’m in need of help to tell if the seller’s pair look like the fakes in the references or not

My rule of thumb is if I have to ask, I don’t purchase it.

They look real to me, i have a few pairs of v3’s all bought from new balance and some have a boxy rear curve under the NB small logo.

The hole perforations on the back look good

If they are fake id say they’re really good fakes

Thanks a bunch. I have the amethyst v3’s and tried comparing them to the listed v3’s but I couldn’t really tell

Fakes never seem to get the perforations on the leather right

Is there anything in particular that I should look out for/request further photos of?

You can see the holes around the N in the real one vs the fake. Also the back hugs the heel much more than the fake

So what is your verdict for the seller’s pair in the first image?

Looks legit but I’d like to see the entire shoe

I think it’s real, the fakes, usa by the heel is cut off on the bottom so you can’t see the bottom loop of the S

I think you’re right. Initially I thought the USA was cut off but maybe it’s just the angle/it isn’t as drastically cut off as I’ve seen in fakes. Thanks

IF we’re going strictly off of the provided pictures, they look like the fake pair in the photos.

Under the NB logo is flattened out like the fakes in P2 and P3. The legit ones have more of a tapered curve as it bottoms out.

To my eyes, the ‘new balance’ isn’t as bold as it should be. It looks more like the fake pair.

My initial thought was that they look like the referenced fakes too.

The comments here have been half and half really. The more I convince myself that they are fake, the more defects I can spot (and vice-versa if I tell myself they are genuine)

I think the general consensus has been not to take the risk?
