Authentic! Please read description & look at pics closely as these are the exact pair that you will receive. Number on shoes & box match. Air Jordan 14 Retro "Candy Cane" 2012 release. White/Varsity Red-Black Colorway. Gently worn and well cared for as pics show! Has a mark here and there and heel tabs which came in a slight off white originally, are a bit darker with age. But otherwise, the colors look really good for their age! Bright crisp whites and vibrant red! There is a bit of lint in liners, but they show barely any wear at all! Soles are in really good shape too! As with any shoe this age special care must be taken when wearing and cleaning them! Use quality products and protectants and consult sneaker sites, blogs, or videos on You Tube! All retros will vary in style, shape, fit, feel and color scheme when compared other retro release or O.G. of the same type! These come in the original box, which is a little bit rough due to age, with paper inside. Don't Skip this truly sharp and collectible pair of kicks!
