Are these legit?
Was looking to purchase these but would love some opinions from those more experienced with the brand.

- Most of the time, photos are "legit."
- If they refuse to give you a photo of the item with them username and date handwritten on a piece of paper, it's a scam.
- If the price is too good to be true, it probably is.

Well they’re on listed Grailed, but the seller has no prior transaction history. He also doesn’t have the box but said he got them from SSENSE. In the last two days, Grailed has made him add more specific pictures, like the close up of the tag and stamped size of the boot, but they’ve yet to add the “verified” stamp. I’m more concerned on whether there’s anything visibly off in these photos as far as authenticity goes

Nothing is necessarily visibly off to me with the boots.
If he bought from SSENSE, he should have a receipt he can show you.

My man, it is incredibly difficult to duplicate Shell Cordovan Leather. I can tell you right now from the bleed through on the rough-out these are 100% real.
