here's the 411 buying Jordan DMP's since there are so many fakes out there.... When buying, always ask for new updated pictures of the item and to see the tag number. When looking at Jordan VI's make sure the black and gold on the bottom of the shoe is not painted on. Make sure the gold on the side of the shoe and dog tag match the gold strip on the back rim of the shoe. For the XI's they can be tricky... There are two types of DMP's that dropped, the ones with the Gold lettering on the sides, which were limited and they cost more than the ones without it. Make sure the letters are gold and not baige, also check the jordan symbol on the back of the shoes to make sure thats a bright gold and not dull. the 23 on the back of the shoe, should be space out not really close together on the shoe. When buying this shoe, make sure the sole of the shoe is ice blue and not just clear or baige, and last the black and gold checkerd marks under the shoe, make sure that they have a clear coated glaze on top of it to protect it.
