photomatch?

Re: is this a photomatch

Based on the creases in the orange part of the shoe, I would say yes.

Not a match - creases are different and there are other minor things not present on both shoes.

I think they are a match, to me it looks like the creases match up, even the small ones.

Re: is this a photomatch

Not all of the creases match

Look at the worn shoe below the 4, there is a white dot not present on the top photo

Look at the Nike swoosh, the worn shoe shoes a very different curvature/bend towards the middle of the swoosh that isnt present in the top photo.

My take: It's a photomatch. The creases match across the entire sole. The white dot is a spot of glare from the lighting. Also, the bend toward the middle of the swoosh is actually a slight buckle from the pressure of Kobe's stance.

I guess I fail to see how it is that the creases don't match up......

Creases in the white portion of the shoe below the 24 match. The crease above the Nike swoosh matches. Great photomatch!

Re: is this a photomatch

Some of the creases are very similar, but there are extra creases in the worn shoe that I cant see in the posted photo....also, where's the dirt spot on the white in the rear? Maybe if both shoes are shown at the same angle, it may become more obvious.

I'm not trying to be a naysayer, but I think this is an example of people wanting to see things that are just not in evidence...its a style match no doubt, but not a photo match imho.

Could the dirt spot and varying creases have happened after the Getty photo was taken?

Man, I've looked back and forth a bunch of times and I just don't see what the problem is.....dead on match to me!
