Re: Legit Check Nike Air Max 90 Infrared Premium
i thought we had a stickied thread for this?
doh image upside down but i cant fix that.
doesnt look real to me but i'm no judge of 90s. the ostrich leather normally has little circular lumps on it from memory. its hard to tell with your repaint already done. lots of it strikes me as odd, but maybe its your repaint.

Re: Legit Check Nike Air Max 90 Infrared Premium
it has the circular lumps, lighting is bad but they are definetly there..
when i take the insoles out and look in the inside it is stitched not glued together if that is an indicator...
But it was a limited model, I don't think they would bother to duplicate it in china (searched a lot of fakes sites too to see if they have this model)

@hypekills1 are you sure? how I can I tell that these are fakes?
@brendan: I dont know I thought they were only released in germany (with the ostrich leather part atleast...) but if these are fake I will try to get my money back through paypal, couldve bought new fakes for 20 lol. But I want authentic ones!

Re: Legit Check Nike Air Max 90 Infrared Premium
Yeah they're fake..swoosh is too dark and wonky shaped large, tongue tag text should be entirely infrared..etc
pics of a real pair:
doubt you'll be able to get money back as you've already painted them..

Re: Legit Check Nike Air Max 90 Infrared Premium
Those are fake.
One of my faves and I have two pairs.
Easiest marker is the infrared highlights around the bubble on the midsole.
On the originals it is a solid plastic transparent insert, same as the lace accent pieces.
On yours it's painted and flaking off.
Colours are off
Leather is incorrect type.
Unlucky dude.

Re: Legit Check Nike Air Max 90 Infrared Premium
if overkill released them in 2008, 1999 seems a bit old?
