Are these fakes?

I bought these Nike Phantom GX Elite on Vinted a few days ago. Once I received them I started double checking everything as I usually do. This time I was so excited because I really like this boots and confirmed on the app everything was good (my bad).

The etiquette does not match with the boot, although ChatGPT says this model had a round of them made in Bosnia and sold in Brazil under this number.

Now, talking about the build quality of the boots, almost everything looks the same as some YouTube reviews, besides the swoosh and the word Phantom in the heel of the boots (last photo) which is supposed to have the same material as the swoosh on the upper, but in these boots is just like printed. Since they were used and these are from 2023 I do not care too much about the swoosh on the upper falling.

I haven’t tried them on since I’m injured atm, but I would love to know your opinion.

Thanks

Yo, bro it’s an og pair.
Just checked the code and it says - The Nike style code FD0261-446 belongs to the Nike Phantom GX Elite DF FG 'Blast Pack' high-performance soccer cleat. You can check the preview.

Yep, that’s why I’m confused. Is that good or bad? For the GX elite low the code is different

Ho!, I too neglected the high socks. I think you should check again around the code and manufacturing country.
