These were heavily faked in the mid-2000s. And in the 2010s there was a fake Sneakers tag as well, out of Thailand.
That's the problem with simple prints like this. What price are you willing to pay for this?

Thanks Jimmy. Is there a way to validate the legitimacy of the tag? Or are they pretty difficult to with the fakes going around?

All of the ones here are legit:

If you find the other XLs above, you'll see 21" is pretty high, but it could be deadstock.
I actually don't have a saved version of the fake Sneakers tag.
I guess what I'm trying to say, don't shell out $$ for one of these tees. They've been heavily reproduced.

Got you. I think I’ll go with your gut instincts and just not go all out on this $$$. Too much risk.

Hey Jimmy
These are some additional shots of the tee - I know it may be hard to check authenticity of one-colored tees but mins me asking what your guys tell you with the additional images?
