are these real or fake bapes?

[michael10]

I got a gift from my parents and they are a pair of bape shoes black/white. I've checked every site to see if it was real and they checked out pretty real, but i need your guys opinions.

Here are the Pics:

This review might help you.

Alright nevermind (again) It doesn't look good.

[michael10]

i think that reveiw is wrong because on the footsoldier site, there are bapestas with the APE in no colour at all....

[i-o_o-i]

you should try posting this on bapetalk.com I think they have a thread for checking fakes, people on that site would be quicker to give you an answer since the know bapes better...
...but the first pic doesn't look so good, did you ask where your parents got these?

the insoles are going in the same direction, but the new 2006 models are going in the same direction.

yes.. just wondering coz they change it every now and again depending on which model just to keep the counterfitters on their toes...

might just be the quality of the pic but the outlines just look fuzzy...

notice how the R connects to the Bape lettering, it shouldn't do that.

Besides, how much is the guy asking, if its any less than 160 USD you can be sure it's fake.

[Mems]

Fake. Wrong material, puffy star, R connects.

the tribe has spoken... its fake .. i was mistaken by my earlier assumptions

[michael10]

Thanks for your replies guys.....fukinnn fapess

[Flipcyde]

If you check out the tag it says "We are constantly improving and updating our products, we are dedicated to quality products."

If you check all legit bapesta's it actually says "inproving" instead of improving. They've just kept that there the entire time, they even switched factories last year and the new Grape Fanta bapestas i got last week still say "inproving".

Just funny to me.

those are fake and can be seen easily from the very first pic...

good point from cruel_angel as well on the stitching touching. that point goes for nike shoes as well, not just bapestas.

Another for fake, space between the star is too big and the 'APE' is not colored.

ape isn't always colored~
