Authentic item purchased from nubian two years ago. I didn't intend to sell it, so I don't have the receipt or box. I applied Shoe Goo, so there's almost no wear on the soles. As you can see in the pictures, there are some scratches and stains, but they're not very noticeable when worn (see photos of the item being worn). The material is canvas, not nylon, so it looks great. To avoid any issues, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive to imperfections. As shown in the photos, please ask in the comments if you have any questions or need more pictures. #rickowens #drkshdw #abstract
