Need help authenticating: Rare "Limited Edition" 50th Anniversary Madras x Lupin III Boots
Hi everyone! I recently acquired a pair of the official Lupin III 50th Anniversary boots from the Madras collaboration, and I am hoping for help identifying a specific detail regarding their production run. I have verified that these are authentic items from the official TMS/NTV collaboration: They feature the Madras branding stamp on the footbed. The heel displays the official 50th Anniversary TV animation branding, along with TMS and NTV logos. They are marked "Limited Production number 2 out of 33" and "Made in Japan." They include technical features like Gore-Tex certification and "NEW FINE Plus" (antiviral/antibacterial) lining. The Mystery: I purchased these from a listing that marketed them as a "Zenigata" model from this limited run. However, most public information about the Madras 50th-anniversary collection only highlights models for the core Lupin gang (Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko). Questions I need help to identify: Is there any record of a Zenigata-specific model being produced for this artisan tier, or is it likely a mislabeled Lupin model? Does anyone have info on this specific "33-pair" artisan production? It seems to be a much higher-end, technical variant compared to the standard lottery-release footwear the community is more familiar with. Any insight into whether this is a known "secret" variant or a case of mislabeling would be greatly appreciated!
