@ruderoy absolutely fake man, EJs are having a huuuge resurgence on the bootleg market. Easiest way to always tell is the bridge stamp. Should be very thin stretch logo. The icons also are a giveaway. Authentic ones are beefier and not so jagged looking. Also “jacket” on the inside of the arm is hardly showing. Authentic ones will be bold and more raised

Yep, @Funky-Trixtar always emphasizes the text on the nose bridge is a dead giveaway

Thanks guys!

Hey folks. Looking for a legit check on this set of Badman that arrived today.

Some of the things happening on the frames have me seriously doubting their authenticity. I bought them through Vinted in Europe and had them verified en route to me.

Particularly points I’m seeing are the top of the orbital where there seems to be flaking peeling off. Also the frames look slightly different in shading to the ear stems.

Original lenses are Sapphire iridium polarised as seen in images.

Also came with box and the tube case.

My head says they’re legit but the frames are playing with my senses. Maybe a legit box but fake frames?

If legitimate then the quality of these frames is pretty bad if they are peeling the way they are.

I should add the other lenses have been fitted by me.

What do you think?

The minutes are definitely real, the orange socks frame is just lens swapped with the light blue iridium lens. That straight jacket I’m not too sure, I own quite a few pairs of them and that one pictured looks a little off. The stamping on the inside of the stem is suspicious

 

[Alexandre987]

Ok so I if understand right, the blue orange is real even the non original Lens have been swapped but still real? Not sure about the grey White blue? What about the one with the flame. Sorry I Really don’t know the names

 

[Headlicedrive]

The orange with blue is real Yes and the other with blue lenses are real. That’s the pearl/light blue color way. The one with orange socks and icons originally had a fire iridium lens which looks to be the replacement lens you attached a photo of but the seller swapped it for the light blue lens. The one with flames is the Straight jacket, I’m unsure on the legitimacy of it just based on the photos provided.
