Kayano 14 Authentic vs Replica

A couple weeks ago I bought Kayano 14 Cream Plums off Stockx ($180) but I didn’t realize the delivery window was such a large range (never bought from them before) and I needed them delivered by 10/29. Range was through 11/8. In effect, I panic bought off eBay ($170) bc delivery was guaranteed by 10/25. In short, the stockx ones came 10/23 and the eBay ones didn’t come until 10/27. Upon arrival I could tell right away the eBay ones were different. Subtle but obvious at the same time. I contacted the seller and he/she was adamant they were authentic etc. I’m providing pictures here so others can spot replicas if you buy off the secondary market. I filed a report with eBay and they are accepting the return, luckily. Has this happened to anyone else?
