Fake five ten sleuth dlx??

I ordered two pairs of these five 10 sleuth shoes off Amazon to figure out what size fit the best and the both look a little different. The font on the tags and the colour of the 5 logo on the side and the texture of the upper are all slightly different. Are there a lot of fake five tens coming off of Amazon? Is one last years model or something?

I'm no detective, but that looks more like a natural variation than a counterfeit to me. One pair might be an earlier model or just an older example -- or maybe a returned item?

I've gotten counterfit stuff from amazon before, looks like the original but but more cheaply made and it broke in a way it shouldn't have been possible to break.

On the other hand it could be they just changed the style slightly for cost or appearance reasons.
