Looks like new spikes made from the Nike ID program, being pawned off as Hicham El Guerrouj's last spikes.
-Just sayin'

what about that morrocon star it looks pretty og not a Nike ID
For one, that star isn't NikeID available. 2nd, I'm pretty sure NikeID came out several years after Milers were released, and off the market. I'm pretty sure by the time ID was released, the Victories were the main mid-d spike.. and even those aren't ID-able still.
I was thinking the same thing - they look like ID milers. However:
Look at the plate/outsole - not a normal miler plate. Its a half length plate with a sharkskin insert in place of the normal 3/4 miler plate.

While skeptical at first, they're as close to legit as you can get without verification. Why?
1. Nike ID for milers was not available in 2005, it's a more recent addition. Yes, it was available, but not at the supposed time these came out.
2. The green star, El G wore spikes with the green star on his shoes. No other runner wore it, and a symbol like that was/is never available on Nike ID. I dont have a photo on hand, but with enough digging, you should be able to find one
3. Look at the plate. That plate that El G wore was the inspiration for the Victory plate. He asked nike to cut the plate down to shave some weight, and because he felt the extra plate wasn't needed in the shoe. (here is a REGULAR miler plate:

Not the same shoe, but it does have the star in question:
