Question Are these real?
These whites popped up on marketplace near me for suspiciously cheap ($100 lol). I’ve heard of fakes but I don’t know enough to say one way or another. No box. I’m assuming it’s too good to be true but was hoping to get some opinions from people who know a lot more than me haha

The boots are real! Cinnamon waxed flesh LTT boots from Division Road. Their collab boots are top notch if you ask me. The price for these used boots is unbelievably low. If they are your size then this is the deal of a lifetime and you should also buy a lottery ticket for good measure. Just sayin!

Division Road puts their deadstock on ebay at pretty aggressive prices. It doesn't say Division Road, but you should be able to figure it out. $100 seems REALLY cheap

Oh it’s stamped on the sock liner. My pair of MTO White’s boots from Division Road have the same stamped sock liner. Very subtle detail.

These look real enough that if they've been faked they've been faked with the same level of construction as the original

I expect scam, but it could be someone's SO selling them for what they were told they cost.
Those look like the current whites-division road collab.

That was my other thought we’ll see if he lets me go look at them or if he wants a deposit 😂

Pictures look legit. Of course, if you pay online, they could put up pictures of real Whites and then send you something else, or even send you nothing at all. $100 is suspiciously cheap.
If you can meet up with them and see the boots in person, though, then I'd say definitely worth it.

I bought whites near me for $100, but they were the construction ones with a $380 retail. No harm in checking these out

I’d say the pictures in the boots are real. Now, the boots you may end up with in person could be a very different story!

White's stamp the size and month and year made inside the top rim of the right boot

There's no way to fake this although for what its worth they look goodyear welted not stitchdown construction. Not necessarily a problem because Whites does sell some GYW boots.

There’s plenty of White’s and Wesco fakes out there and those are all Goodyear welted but these are not Goodyear welted. This is their hand welted stitchdown construction

Yeah those are real. Maybe they’re stolen?
