    Is this a legit m.a+ shirt? The stitching on the "+" looks a little lousy to me.

        Not too familiar with Guidi, but I think these are fake due to the shape of the toe box.

          Not familiar too, but the leather quality seems bad...if you go on guidi website there is a procedure to make sure that your guidi are authentic.

              Fake for sure. But very well faked. FYI the Chinese has replicated pretty much every brand's shoes from BBS to August from CCP to Guidi from ma+ to even BOTH and to whatever you name... to pretty nifty levels...

                  Scary, I would say that the leather does seem different then again I can't really clearly tell since the images are low resolution. The toe box was what made me suspicious right away although I do know that it does vary.

                    I can tell you ALL of these are fake. All. Even if you scroll down to next few pages. Some of them are evidently better made than the one you linked. Buy with confidence!

                    ps So far I haven't run across one single fake SZ brand piece that merits serious attention. They are all pretty easy to tell once you get familiar enough with the brand. The real challenges are the AJ Nike high-end Adidas sneakers that the kids here have to go by nanometer to authenticate. It's not suprising that in some very rare cases, some fakes ARE better quality than the real ones. At the moment Triple S, but word is Balenciaga did have some of the shoes made in China - damn even if they never did, Chinese would still be able to make exactly same shoes.

                              Has anyone had an experience with fakes on Yoox?

                              Purchased a pair of Rick Owens boxer shorts from mastodon about a month ago on the site. Looking at them now after finally unpacking (I’m in the middle of a move), the season tag is misspelled Mastadon and looks a bit sloppy in terms of stitching (construction of the garment is fine though).

                              I’ve never had a problem with Yoox in the years I’ve been shopping (I assumed their supply chain was fairly tight).

                                I have received items with imperfections (shoddy seams, loose stitches), but never fake items from Yoox.

                                For some reason I feel like I have seen other tags from Mastodon (and other post-2014 collections) with spelling errors. Can you share a photo of the tags?

                                Also, you can always just return these and alert Yoox about the problem.
