He peeped the flimsy soles. I was waiting for it. Lol good comparison!!! I got hit with some fakes, but they look so good and were priced so well, I can't even complain HONESTLY. Some of my favorite j's.
Your detail on this is amazing about 18:44 if you look the Nike swoosh on the fake is fatter at the back and the tear drop is fatter at the top as well.
Take a moment and read my comment. It's a ESSAY Really gotta see it from a birds eye view. Fakes or authentic matters in certain instances. Like with how hype it is getting anything in the hypebeast market is and how they do the releases with certain shoes it makes it difficult to cop a real pair. When it's mainly supply and demand and they ship out low supplies on purpose to vendors (retail stores etc.) to increase the demand. Then I'm not paying crazy resell prices because at the end of the day it's a shoe or shoes if you collect them like that. I work a job and go to school so I have student loans, a car note, and everything else related to the matters to pay. So basically I have a limited supply of money to spend on kicks. Compared to someone who more financial capabilities and realistically free time to cop retail pairs. Like seriously y'all really out here waiting on the internet until release time, refreshing carts, BOTS and all that crazy stuff to get pairs. I literally can't do that no time to do so. So basically getting a retail pair for me is a slight chance unless it's sitting on the shelf or someone selling it near retail somewhere. The main shoes I'm referring to is Jordan and Nike.The color ways and models that sell quick and maybe occasionally some yeezys 350 Boost which are nearly impossible for myself to cop. Which brings me to my next topic. I'll make it short and quick since I already wrote a essay. Me personally I don't care for Replica or Fake shoes or clothing. I'll buy it and wear it no problem. I'll explain. When I refer to Replica stuff that I BUY I'm meaning 1:1 and UA shoes closet to retail IF NOT THE SAME. we aren't talking about AAA+ quality the fakes that obviously stands out and looks fake. If I'm going to buy Replica it has to be as close to the original. The quality and price I pay for my Replica items. Isn't in resell range of a "Authentic" or dirt cheap. It's mainly fair priced average maybe a lil bit under retail in the United States since stores charge sales tax. I buy most of my stuff through a Vietnamese agent located near Shenzhen in China. which me and my best friend Skype and video chat with her and see has stores she contacts in her area and they tell us what they have and don't have. Mainly we look for shoes. At first when we first bought through her (little skeptical honestly) She asked us what quality we wanted and I was totally ignorant about the matter. Me and my friend are confused. So she explained Basically there's different qualities that different vendors have. Basically the vendors hidden in the big buildings in China that sell all type of stuff are like flea markets basically that have the SUPER low quality of what you want. Similar to what you guys get when you buy from AliExpress, DHGATE, WISH, and the list goes on.Then you complain about the quality. For example: Dumbass (x) buys a pair of 50$ obviously Replica 350 Boost from one of those type apps or sites. That he knows are fake or that he's thinks are real or he just got a good deal. You guys see him with the fakes that stand out and you call him out. Or whatever BECAUSE THEY are low quality and they have flaws that stand out. If maybe dumbass (x) put highest price to low price first he maybe would of got a higher quality pair at a higher price that maybe wouldn't stand out as much. But are still fake up close. Then you have the Actual Japanese contracted Factories with workers and that mostly make the shoe by hand that ship what we call the "retail pairs" to the United States for them to tax and sale for more. They also ship to the actual malls and sneaker/clothing stores in China that sell it how we sell it retail in USA. They make mistakes on some of the clothes and shoes they make because it's usually by hand. And those pairs are set aside because they have flaws or some are even sent back due to customs or them not passing Quality control. For the most minor mistakes. China has a high standard when it comes to the products they export to our stores. Basically what was all explained to us in English in a 2 hour video chat with very good fluent English communication. Like I said I don't mind fakes or replicas. As long as it's not like super obvious that it's fake. 1:1 or UA only for me. Which is damn near identical to whatever I buy and compared to the ones my other friend(s) get from retail and we compare them. Flaws are minimal. We are going to start doing hauls of the stuff we buy and try our best to get a authentic one to compare and post videos. Because the quality is so close they opted to stop waiting for release dates and buying from the store because they feel dumb for paying crazy resell for whatever they got and I can get it for a little less than USA retail and it's crazy. Because I was that dude too. "Nah would never would wear fake stuff" type of ego. But once I researched it and got into it. It changed my perspective. My conclusion: if I can't get a retail pair for the retail price or maybe a lil over from a common sense person just selling it and not a money hungry brain dead reseller that's fine. But if not I'll do my research and find a "fake version" or "Replica" and pay the difference between it and the retail. Which is going to look 1:1 with the original due to the quality I get through my agent. I tell her I want the "highest level of quality if possible" and she connects me through her sources by translating and negotiating on my behalf. She warns some may have minor flaws due to mass productivity on the assembly line(s) at certain times and seasons depending on what it is. And I'm ok with that since I'm just wearing it casually. Not flexing in it. Or trying to sell it as authentic or retail. Like that's just my 2 cents.
I mean for Jordans and yeezy's? ABSOLUTELY YES, but for technologies like the ultraboost for example NO. If the shoe sells on technology I would definitely travel to the city and cough up those extra bucks just to buy an authentic pair of them.
I just want to mention one thing about "stitching that almost touches down the swoosh and cuts down". Well, I have 2017 royal 1 and stitching area that you mentioned is different from left pair to right pair. Stitching is very inconsistent on that part, my left pair has space in between swoosh while my right pair doesn't. So, when I talked to a guy at Jordan store he told me that my pair is legit and stitching sucks as it is mass produced with machine. So, people don't panic and it is more like overall quality of shoes especially the quality of leather and most importantly quality control of Jordan 1 sucks in general I guess.
great video, very informative. just wanted to know what discrepancies you have seen on the authentic pairs in regards to quality from retailer to retailer. I was fortunate enough to win multiple raffles, and my footlocker pairs were horrible. My one shoe palace pair was near flawless. thanks is advance.
Thank you, appreciate it. Although I didn't fully analyze two different authentic pairs, what I did see was glue stains..some have them, some don't. My pair that has a bit of glue isn't anything bad. The only other thing I noticed was the minor stitching frays.
Hi so I just heard a last night that U.S. had the corner on titanium white pigment until recently , it is used in a ton of stuff pills paints frosting probably the real air Jordan insoles ?!!
Honestly one misconception you're giving out is the stitching above the swoosh. A good number of authentic pair have similar stitching to the fake pair here. However, alot of the information you're giving here is amazing so everything is appreciated. :)
Appreciate the compliment, it means a lot. As for the stitching, that is interesting as I not only compared to the 13 but a few others as well, all setup that way.
i have a pair. have them around 10 years ago. mine are black and red but in the back it has a logo of jordan around a circle, and they say since 85. can anyone tell me witch are these ? i am planing to fix the soles becasue they felt from the shoe. but other than that the costemic is really good. there is barely scratches i just have to glue back the soles. i bought them in a nikey outlet about 10 years ago. i need help finding this exact pair. if anyone has some information on them please dont mind to reply. thanks :)
It depends...if it's someone that knows nothing about sneakers, they couldn't tell...but if it's a sneakerhead, they will be able to tell with the shoes on or off.
And who really has time to take somebody's shoe off of their foot and examine it??? If you have that much time in your everyday life to worry about what someone else is wearing on their foot you need to go make your own shoe. I am not mad at all at The Fakes shoes. I'm trying to ball on a budget.
so when the real pair have imperfections you brush past it and even compliment it . When the fakes have imperfections you throw shade. but you dont throw shade on the real pair when they have flaws ?
I am glad you do! Yea it takes a long time to do these videos but they are fun. I want to do 1 a week from here on out, but it really depends on getting my hands on the shoes.
I have a question about the dates on the inside size tag. Are the dates supposed to be the same across all models because I have different dates from what yours say on it . Also i noticed that on my pair the size difference in the tongues between the left and right shoe is quite noticeable. If you could respond that would be much appreciated.
18:43 the background pattern behind the nike air branding between the authentic and fake looks different I see little holes in the real pair and on the fakes nothing like that is visible , the direction of the pattern is also different. the real pair the pattern seems to be going from left to right while the fakes the pattern direction is going from right to left The spacing right below the nike air crest area is completely different the authentic it looks like you cant fit a penny in between the spacing at the top section while the fakes it appears you can fit multiple pennies in between the spacing Just got these from a facebook group and this video came just in time Very Relieved my pair passed the test on all the points you went through I was a bit worried, as my pair had the red stamp on the lid and not the box My letterman 1's and Blue Metallic had Stamps that were all on the box and not on the lid so i was worried a bit on why these bred / banned pair had a red stamp on the lid and not the box, but im relieved your authentic pair had a stamp on the lid like mine Thank you Sneakerfiles, this was a great educational video Definitely a thumbs up
I am happy your pair checked out and this video was useful. I know in the past I would get a bit nervous on a purchase, double and even triple checking everything. I thought these type of videos would help others like me. BTW, great eye!
Do you feel the inserts are truly real vs. fake - we are trying to determine if a pair of Charlotte's just bought from Foot Action are real. Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thank you for posting!!!
the card is the user guide which teach the user how to wear or what should pay attention, even the retail pair, it also has the card but the card style or I should say the design is different from the fake.
You have to make sure your comparing the highest Quality Replica compared to the original retail version. you're comparing a AAA,AAA+,perfect, pair to Retail original pair. From telling how that fake pair looks. And it's disgusting the quality. It's not even super perfect quality which is the quality Grade right before the "UA" which is considered the highest quality. You have these quality grades and I'll try and have price estimates based on how they are marketed. From low to high. 1. AA/AAA+ example: "AAA Jordan retro 5" Pairs usually are dirt cheap and have HEAVY FLAWS. Price range (20-40$) 2. "Perfect" example: "Perfect Jordan 11" which are little improved quality versions of AAA+ shoes with still has some flaws not as near as many. Price range ( 50-80$) 3. "Super perfect" example: "Super perfect Jordan 1" Like it's predecessor the perfects these are upgraded and updated versions of whatever shoe. That is made to look somewhat authentic but to a real sneaker head not a chance they should be able to tell by loose stitching, excessive glue marks, missing little details/design not on point, color not the right shade and etc. these usually sell for about 100$-150 and look somewhat real to a person who is ignorant on sneakers and how they should look. Then you have "UA" basically these are top quality and have little to no flaws (at least the ones I get) (150$ minimum and up depending on shoe) these can leave a actual sneaker head discombobulated looking for every little thing to point out they might find it and it might take them awhile. At least it happened to me when I presented my pairs of Royal Blue Air Jordan 1 "UA" and "retail" pair to friends who all work at a foot action at a mall near me and it's 3 of them that work at that store. Walked in on them on their shift with a "UA" and retail pair of the royal blue 1s bought from flight club. And let them do what they do best lol At the time they were selling for 320$ on flight club and now their 650$. Long story short they couldn't differentiate the UA from the retail took them awhile. Mainly because the UA didn't have a receipt. But it looked nearly the same to them. And even the co manager took a look and took him a minute to figure it out because he likes the Air Jordan 1 shoe line up so he knew exactly how each pair should look. Basically that's my two cents. Rant ✅ done
the white paper came in with the fake shoes in the beginning of the video which is "product instruction, go through if before using the product". and the chinese character on the insert board which means "纸“made of paper”....
Things that vary on real pairs is where the stitching comes down by the swoosh some have 1-3 stitches before coming down but the insoles will be with glue on a angle on all originals & the heal will always be slimmer on top & get wider also the R &D on the wings need to be touching without a space in between
Thank you for the review. I love seeing the "real" version comparisons, it gives me such comfort knowing that my UA's are on point and that I saved hundreds of dollars by buying from wholesalers. Keep it real people, and buy resell... Dumb ass'
Everything on my pair looks fine. Only thing that's different was the stitching on the swoosh. It sits higher and not on the swoosh. My pair is a size 8 tho.
As always thank you and I appreciate the videos. I recently purchased my third pair of bred 1s( yes there are ALOT of fakes out there) from a reputable seller on eBay and thanks to your video I was able to compare and contrast. In my comparison I realized that my pair is 100% authentic purchased from Nike(receipt came with it, even though I got a fake pair with a bogus receipt). Everything checked out to your video except for the production date. On my pair the dates are 3/17/16 and 6/1/16. Please let me know if you've heard of those being legit dates. Thanks
Thank you for the compliment and I am glad this helped out. As for the production dates, I haven't heard however production dates can vary. If the pair was purchased from Nike, then they are 100% authentic.
It's so weird, my pair that I have has both "real" and "fake" qualities. The authentic qualities: Laces, toebox, smaller black at the top of the back, heel cut, tag text behind the tongue, clean cut at the bottom, date in shoe, stars on the sole, shoe box and the size tag in the shoe. The fake qualities: some stitching is lose, the swoosh at the top isn't all the way down and rippled leather
I think its a legit pair with some quality control issues. The points that i found where you can tell your pair is legit or not are - the toe box - the tongue stitches that on 2nd hole, - the code on inside heel pointing the top hole laces
i got a new aj1 banned 2016 US 11 from a footlocker and when i opened it, the cardboard shoe tree on the shoe says 10.5-12, now my question is, is this normal? because, i thimk normally it should be marked 11-12.5. please help me with some comments and your insights about this.im really bothered. i've watch the whole video it says that my pair is legit.
Does anyone know where i can get a on the cheaper side fake pair that look close to a real one like this one cause i dont have $1000 for shoes and that is my favorite pair of shoes
Go to the subreddit r/repsneakers. The cheapest seller is GMK (Goose master kim) Learn the different batches. The best Air Jordan 1 batches are GET, H12 (Aka Godkiller), and LJR.
@@conspiras.c8818 just buy from GMK. It's not the best idea to ask people where they buy fakes, because a million people sell fakes and all of them have interchangeable flaws and price points.
@@kodeine222 Agree with you. A Friend of mine got a UA Jordan1 Banned last Week. Its almost 1:1 the same Shoe. Shape, Leather, Laces and so on all the Same. You could onyl tell theyre not real if u look the Soles with Birdeyes.
great job as always...really enjoy your videos..any one u can recommend me going to to try and get these shoes on resale.? just dont want to get burned
What some of you don't understand about buying fakes/authentic is the sentimental value. There are people who collect shoes, and some of these shoes don't see the light of day and the owner can care less who sees them. I collect air jordan 1s and a lot of my friends don't know that. It's for personal enjoyment only. I want to know that I got an authorized shoe, made and checked by a Nike employee. If you just want shoes for the aesthetic aspect and want to flex on people, then what are you doing on this channel in the first place.
Minor differences in details , enormous difference in selling price. I’m not supporting fakes but no one will notice if you wear this replica, unless your with a sneaker geek . But who cares
honestly , if theres a sneaker detective near by and he asks " lemme see the stitching sequence on the lower inside heel of the shoe insert " laugh in his face and keep it pushing because thats mad corny yo lol .
Is this considered "FAKE" or is it possibly an early release? I think when people hear FAKE they think of complete trash.. whereas these look very very similar.
People still talking about how they would rock the fakes, why does it matter, etc. If you want to rock fakes, rock fakes! The issue lies when people are paying inflated resale prices, but receive a fake. If one pays $500 resale price for a pair of bred 1’s, they don’t want the $100 DHGates. They paid for an authentic shoe. That’s the problem.
The problem is that it's pretty much impossible to legit check. It's mostly just crossing your fingers while reassuring yourself that a single stitch being 0.001 nanometers off is the giveaway. Replica manufacturers have literally had 35 years to perfect the Air Jordan 1.
the paper test was hilarious " Whatever the hell that is " bruh its paper lol . Also if the Og paper was smooth you wouldve clowned the other paper regardless . the"fake paper " looks better fr lol . Gosh that sentence is wild lol
I think it's due to JB making slight variations in each retro release throughout the years. From different leather used through to actual shoe dimensions and stitching.
I would think so as well, but like Farq said below, it's the minor differences that throw the fake manufacturers off. The other thing is, the UA/Fakes like to cut corners to save money. As long as it looks somewhat like the authentic they are happy.
I don't think the frayed leather cuts are a indicator of fakes. Seen a few retails pairs on sneaker groups and my own that have quite frayed and even excess overlap on the back heel. I put that down to usual poor JB QC. Same deal with the stitch cutting across the swoosh. Everything else was undeniable though, in particular the Nike tag on the tongue, product code angle and pronounced tumbling that appears almost like a basketball texture. Good video none the less to keep people informed.
You're right..never everything there points to be fake but I think how frayed this pair actually was...might raise an eyebrow. There are of course a ton of tips that will ensure a real vs. fake check. JB quality isn't the best and we know can vary so I try and keep that in-mind. Appreciate the compliment!
SneakerFiles.com No worries mate, Keep up the good work. I'm surprised you don't have more subs. Along with Jacques slade your one of the few sneaker channels that give really clear detailed video of kicks without annoying music and excessively flashy editing.
I got a pair in the insole it has a sticker that says "upper: all leather Lining: non leather Outsole: non leather made in china i got it from a reseller who bought it on footlocker Australia (he even gave me the receipt) everythings on point except for that sticker
Noir is pronounced ( new-are ) like the wine... Pinot noir , it's French for Red. Its cool , I'm not trying to bust your chops...i love your videos and content. Keep up the good work.

Gucci Meme Star I think they are cause them fake sites are getting better with there sneakers
,soon the resell market will be done
exactly thats why these vids are dumb
Bfyre But how else do you educate the consumer when he/she wants to purchase shoes and make certain they're legit?

It's always "this is what a fake has, but an authentic pair can have this too"
Love these Real v Fake vids Sneakerfiles! Ik it must be hard to do them but i wish you could do as many as humanly possible!
I am glad you do! Yea it takes a long time to do these videos but they are fun. I want to do 1 a week from here on out, but it really depends on getting my hands on the shoes.
I have a question about the dates on the inside size tag. Are the dates supposed to be the same across all models because I have different dates from what yours say on it . Also i noticed that on my pair the size difference in the tongues between the left and right shoe is quite noticeable. If you could respond that would be much appreciated.
Do u think the quality on the upcoming shattered backboard away will be the same as the kids pairs of the banned 1?
I can't answer that 100%. I really hope not, however I do think it will be the same quality.
I have a retail pair and my production date is afew days different could that be possible?? I have a size 13..
18:43 the background pattern behind the nike air branding between the authentic and fake looks different
I see little holes in the real pair and on the fakes nothing like that is visible , the direction of the pattern is also different.
the real pair the pattern seems to be going from left to right while the fakes the pattern direction is going from right to left
The spacing right below the nike air crest area is completely different
the authentic it looks like you cant fit a penny in between the spacing at the top section while the fakes it appears you can fit multiple pennies in between the spacing
Just got these from a facebook group and this video came just in time
Very Relieved my pair passed the test on all the points you went through
I was a bit worried, as my pair had the red stamp on the lid and not the box
My letterman 1's and Blue Metallic had Stamps that were all on the box and not on the lid so i was worried a bit on why these bred / banned pair had a red stamp on the lid and not the box, but im relieved your authentic pair had a stamp on the lid like mine
Thank you Sneakerfiles, this was a great educational video
Definitely a thumbs up
I am happy your pair checked out and this video was useful. I know in the past I would get a bit nervous on a purchase, double and even triple checking everything. I thought these type of videos would help others like me.
BTW, great eye!
thanks for looking out bruh
No problem at all!
Another awesome thorough review, I look forward to these videos every week!
Thank you very much! Greatly appreciate it
I think they have an updated version of the fake pair out already.
I am not sure I think this is the most updated version. Just got them a few weeks ago.
Hey man. I got a pair from Flight Club. Everything is the same as the authentic but my insole is black? Do you know if there's any reason for that?
The entire insole is black? Flight Club is legit but that's weird.
SneakerFiles.com yeah everything else checks out though. I'll check the tongue if it's white or black again when I get home but the insole is black.
jnlkmljo Ok cool. Make sure to check it out to know for sure.
Do you feel the inserts are truly real vs. fake - we are trying to determine if a pair of Charlotte's just bought from Foot Action are real. Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thank you for posting!!!
Glue stain on my insole is not as slanted. Is it some QC issue or is it fake?
(Everything else looks fine)
the card is the user guide which teach the user how to wear or what should pay attention, even the retail pair, it also has the card but the card style or I should say the design is different from the fake.
You're right. I found out more about it after the video. I was told they only come with pairs sold overseas.
The tongue tag wasnt placed lower and the wings are facing the lower hole. Is mine fake...?
You have to make sure your comparing the highest Quality Replica compared to the original retail version.
you're comparing a AAA,AAA+,perfect, pair to
Retail original pair. From telling how that fake pair looks. And it's disgusting the quality.
It's not even super perfect quality which is the quality Grade right before the "UA" which is considered the highest quality.
You have these quality grades and I'll try and have price estimates based on how they are marketed. From low to high.
1. AA/AAA+ example: "AAA Jordan retro 5"
Pairs usually are dirt cheap and have HEAVY FLAWS. Price range (20-40$)
2. "Perfect" example: "Perfect Jordan 11" which are little improved quality versions of AAA+ shoes with still has some flaws not as near as many. Price range ( 50-80$)
3. "Super perfect"
example: "Super perfect Jordan 1"
Like it's predecessor the perfects these are upgraded and updated versions of whatever shoe.
That is made to look somewhat authentic but to a real sneaker head not a chance they should be able to tell by loose stitching, excessive glue marks, missing little details/design not on point, color not the right shade and etc.
these usually sell for about 100$-150 and look somewhat real to a person who is ignorant on sneakers and how they should look.
Then you have "UA" basically these are top quality and have little to no flaws
(at least the ones I get)
(150$ minimum and up depending on shoe)
these can leave a actual sneaker head discombobulated looking for every little thing to point out they might find it and it might take them awhile.
At least it happened to me when I presented my pairs of Royal Blue Air Jordan 1 "UA" and "retail" pair to friends who all work at a foot action at a mall near me and it's 3 of them that work at that store. Walked in on them on their shift with a "UA" and retail pair of the royal blue 1s bought from flight club. And let them do what they do best lol
At the time they were selling for 320$ on flight club and now their 650$. Long story short they couldn't differentiate the UA from the retail took them awhile. Mainly because the UA didn't have a receipt.
But it looked nearly the same to them. And even the co manager took a look and took him a minute to figure it out because he likes the Air Jordan 1 shoe line up so he knew exactly how each pair should look.
Basically that's my two cents. Rant ✅ done
No, just no. That's your comprehension. Go visit China, come back, change the comment. Thanks
Where you buy yours ua sneakers?
Can it have different dates or does it have to be that exact one on the size tag ?
What if the code inside is 191027 XC ? But overall is the same as the original in this video, thanks
are the fake details on the mens the same on the GS sized shoes?
the white paper came in with the fake shoes in the beginning of the video which is "product instruction, go through if before using the product". and the chinese character on the insert board which means "纸“made of paper”....
Things that vary on real pairs is where the stitching comes down by the swoosh some have 1-3 stitches before coming down but the insoles will be with glue on a angle on all originals & the heal will always be slimmer on top & get wider also the R &D on the wings need to be touching without a space in between
R and D touching is a huge indicator and what I look for first.
okay where to get fake ones, cause they look exactly the same to me
THANK YOU
Same shoe lol
Most people hate on the fakes cuz they feel like retarda paying 1k for the real thing
Ivan Mora exactly
yo bro you videos are dope man quality on point straight to the point. Notifications are lite!
Thank you! Appreciate it!
I was wondering is the behide the tongue part at the bottom on the back pose to hang a little are cuts off perfect?
Thank you for the review. I love seeing the "real" version comparisons, it gives me such comfort knowing that my UA's are on point and that I saved hundreds of dollars by buying from wholesalers. Keep it real people, and buy resell... Dumb ass'
UAs are on point nowadays
@@Leshgetit2025 new smell and everything!
Everything on mine check out except the stitching on one of the back tabs is bad and box has to qc code, wdy think?
It has two QC stamps or stickers?
Nick Moses Ok so no QC but it has a stamp on the lid right?
SneakerFiles.com correct
Nick Moses That's good then..the stitching on the back probably is a manufacturing error but if everything else checks out, your pair is authentic.
Hey, I don’t have the stamp on the lid of the box but everything else checks out? Should I be worried
Dam, that heel look really gives away the difference lmao
LMAO! Leeeaaaanin
Can anubody help me?
My aj 1 are just the same colorway as this but they dont have the code in the side on the inside
Does size tsg have any role like made in chino or air jordans are really made in china
I got A pair of the upcoming Jordan 1 storm blue and white 3 months early but I can't tell if they're fake or not....
If it's the OG Retro High Jordan 1 'Storm Blue', I have yet to see any images although they are releasing. Do you have pics?
SneakerFiles.com yeah I took a few of them earlier
Ryan Kimberly How can I see them?
i posted some pics on my twitter @itswyan
Ryan Kimberly couldn't find your account. Can you DM me at SneakerFiles?
Do you know if the kids sizes have the tumbled leather?
GS sizing is very smooth leather. Not tumbled like the men's.
Everything on my pair looks fine. Only thing that's different was the stitching on the swoosh. It sits higher and not on the swoosh. My pair is a size 8 tho.
hey Bryan the Nike sign on the real pair it's longer than on the fake take a look if u want
You are 100% right. Thank you for the heads up
As always thank you and I appreciate the videos. I recently purchased my third pair of bred 1s( yes there are ALOT of fakes out there) from a reputable seller on eBay and thanks to your video I was able to compare and contrast. In my comparison I realized that my pair is 100% authentic purchased from Nike(receipt came with it, even though I got a fake pair with a bogus receipt). Everything checked out to your video except for the production date. On my pair the dates are 3/17/16 and 6/1/16. Please let me know if you've heard of those being legit dates. Thanks
Thank you for the compliment and I am glad this helped out. As for the production dates, I haven't heard however production dates can vary. If the pair was purchased from Nike, then they are 100% authentic.
Mine has everything good other than the red text inside the box do u think it’s real or fake
I got mine from footlocker and just checked them out and they don't have the black stitching on the back of the tongue but everything else is fine
It's so weird, my pair that I have has both "real" and "fake" qualities. The authentic qualities: Laces, toebox, smaller black at the top of the back, heel cut, tag text behind the tongue, clean cut at the bottom, date in shoe, stars on the sole, shoe box and the size tag in the shoe. The fake qualities: some stitching is lose, the swoosh at the top isn't all the way down and rippled leather
I think its a legit pair with some quality control issues.
The points that i found where you can tell your pair is legit or not are
- the toe box
- the tongue stitches that on 2nd hole,
- the code on inside heel pointing the top hole laces
if youre air jordan 1 shoes are made in china it is fake?
bout as real as the originals lol
Does this work with all jordan 1 colorways?
Don't some fakes have that little cardboard thing inside the shoe are these ua?
Are the upc number on the fake the same as the real
You said plastic insert yet it was cardboard. Smh
I apologize for the mistake...Yes it is cardboard. Everything else in the video is accurate and I am sure that the video has helped.
i got a new aj1 banned 2016 US 11 from a footlocker and when i opened it, the cardboard shoe tree on the shoe says 10.5-12,
now my question is, is this normal?
because, i thimk normally it should be marked 11-12.5.
please help me with some comments and your insights about this.im really bothered.
i've watch the whole video it says that my pair is legit.
Yes it is normal. They have them as a size run.
Well thank you so much, now i will be at peace! God bless
tootie lasque No problem at all. Glad I could help.
Does anyone know where i can get a on the cheaper side fake pair that look close to a real one like this one cause i dont have $1000 for shoes and that is my favorite pair of shoes
Go to the subreddit r/repsneakers. The cheapest seller is GMK (Goose master kim)
Learn the different batches. The best Air Jordan 1 batches are GET, H12 (Aka Godkiller), and LJR.
Galaxi cheers mate
I bought a fake and everyone was jealous of me 🤫 and my fakes have a darker red but can’t really tell🤷♂️
where from?
@@conspiras.c8818 just buy from GMK. It's not the best idea to ask people where they buy fakes, because a million people sell fakes and all of them have interchangeable flaws and price points.
yo where did you buy the fakes and how much i cant afford real ones
I think the R and D in the air jordan logo the authentic is they stick together where in the fake they are separate
Yes that's correct. They do not connect.
I got a authentic pair and the tags on the tongue are not aligned perfect one is higher than the other
Are the fakes using genuine leather?
SneakerFile can you help me to figure out if my air Jordan 1 are fake
Sure. Do you have a link to images?
I bet you bought like the 15$ replicas because there are some nice 1:1 replicas
Newest UA are literally 1:1 get a better pair and show the truth.
I literally got this pair a week after the authentic Air Jordan 1 Banned released. This is the newest..
All the UAs are 1:1 now
@@kodeine222 Agree with you. A Friend of mine got a UA Jordan1 Banned last Week. Its almost 1:1 the same Shoe. Shape, Leather, Laces and so on all the Same. You could onyl tell theyre not real if u look the Soles with Birdeyes.
I want to see The Real vs Fake Adidas Ultraboost Triple White 2.0
We will try to do that in the future.
Thanks
Sky Tj no problem
great job as always...really enjoy your videos..any one u can recommend me going to to try and get these shoes on resale.? just dont want to get burned
Thank you! Appreciate it. Hmm as for resale sites that are authentic...Flight Club (bit pricey), Rif LA, Urban Necessities..those are good places.
What some of you don't understand about buying fakes/authentic is the sentimental value. There are people who collect shoes, and some of these shoes don't see the light of day and the owner can care less who sees them. I collect air jordan 1s and a lot of my friends don't know that. It's for personal enjoyment only. I want to know that I got an authorized shoe, made and checked by a Nike employee. If you just want shoes for the aesthetic aspect and want to flex on people, then what are you doing on this channel in the first place.
respect .
Hey brian! Liked, My Jordan 1's came today! So hyped.
Awesome! Happy to hear that. How are you liking them?
+SneakerFiles.com i like them alot!
Blackatic Glad to hear that! They are very nice in-person
wait... It just me or did the shoes look like a photo?? Because till he moved the shoe at 1:04 I thought it was just a photo 😂😂
LOL I can see what you mean.
Minor differences in details , enormous difference in selling price. I’m not supporting fakes but no one will notice if you wear this replica, unless your with a sneaker geek . But who cares
honestly , if theres a sneaker detective near by and he asks " lemme see the stitching sequence on the lower inside heel of the shoe insert " laugh in his face and keep it pushing because thats mad corny yo lol .
Is this considered "FAKE" or is it possibly an early release? I think when people hear FAKE they think of complete trash.. whereas these look very very similar.
This wasn’t an “early” pair. It was bought from an unauthentic retailer. The Authentic pair was bought from Shiekh Shoes.
do u know where i can buy the real Jordan 1 Banned Bred?
You could try Flight Club but they are a bit expensive...also try the GOAT App.
I'm trying to get my hands on these
the white card is from china, taiwan, hong kong nike/jordan retail have it in the box, so the fake company copy/follow it also.
Thank you! I appreciate the heads up. I usually do not have shoes imported from China so I wasn't to sure on that.
But mine have a Jordan logo on the back is that fake
Doesn't mean fake but probably a different release using a similar colorway
Thanks
Great vid. Learned a lot. Thank you
Mines says 6/02/16 on the tag but i got um straight to footlocker
It's ok. Sometimes production tags are different. I don't put to much emphasis on the tag because of that.
So production date doesn't really matter? As long as its around june2016
jervee medina I wouldn't say production date doesn't matter but yes if it's around June...in that frame. Specific dates can be different.
People still talking about how they would rock the fakes, why does it matter, etc. If you want to rock fakes, rock fakes! The issue lies when people are paying inflated resale prices, but receive a fake. If one pays $500 resale price for a pair of bred 1’s, they don’t want the $100 DHGates. They paid for an authentic shoe. That’s the problem.
The problem is that it's pretty much impossible to legit check. It's mostly just crossing your fingers while reassuring yourself that a single stitch being 0.001 nanometers off is the giveaway. Replica manufacturers have literally had 35 years to perfect the Air Jordan 1.
the paper test was hilarious " Whatever the hell that is " bruh its paper lol . Also if the Og paper was smooth you wouldve clowned the other paper regardless . the"fake paper " looks better fr lol . Gosh that sentence is wild lol
Anyone know where to find those
Don't you think its crazy how this model has been existing for decades yet replica manufacturers still can't perfect a 1:1.
I think it's due to JB making slight variations in each retro release throughout the years. From different leather used through to actual shoe dimensions and stitching.
Farq offkent They should at least be able to perfect the retros that have been around for a while.
I would think so as well, but like Farq said below, it's the minor differences that throw the fake manufacturers off. The other thing is, the UA/Fakes like to cut corners to save money. As long as it looks somewhat like the authentic they are happy.
Dirtyd23 Can't and won't argue that. 100% correct. The shape does tend to alter through the years as well as the colors.
I don't think the frayed leather cuts are a indicator of fakes. Seen a few retails pairs on sneaker groups and my own that have quite frayed and even excess overlap on the back heel. I put that down to usual poor JB QC. Same deal with the stitch cutting across the swoosh. Everything else was undeniable though, in particular the Nike tag on the tongue, product code angle and pronounced tumbling that appears almost like a basketball texture. Good video none the less to keep people informed.
You're right..never everything there points to be fake but I think how frayed this pair actually was...might raise an eyebrow. There are of course a ton of tips that will ensure a real vs. fake check. JB quality isn't the best and we know can vary so I try and keep that in-mind. Appreciate the compliment!
SneakerFiles.com
No worries mate, Keep up the good work. I'm surprised you don't have more subs. Along with Jacques slade your one of the few sneaker channels that give really clear detailed video of kicks without annoying music and excessively flashy editing.
Farq offkent Thank you I appreciate it. I enjoy watching his videos. Very clean and transitional editing.
the nike on the outsole the fake looks smaller and less sharp
SNEAKER FILES + Good vid Brian. Salute.🙏
Thank you Marco, appreciate it as always
The reps I got this week fix all these flaws. Nice!
I got a pair in the insole it has a sticker that says "upper: all leather Lining: non leather Outsole: non leather made in china i got it from a reseller who bought it on footlocker Australia (he even gave me the receipt) everythings on point except for that sticker
That's odd. Can you upload a picture and send me the link?
do u have email address i can send it there or facebook acct?
I appreciate the info but it looks like the real is the 2016 pair and the fakes look like the 2013 pair....
How about my bred starts with an 8 not 10 inside the shoes is it fake or real?
petermackx310 8 is your size
i dont know why you buy from other stores , when factory that all sneakers resellers buy from is Manderoti.com
One thing you missed is the swoosh under the shoe..
Its fatter and shorter.
Yes you are correct, I did miss that.
Noir is pronounced ( new-are ) like the wine... Pinot noir , it's French for Red. Its cool , I'm not trying to bust your chops...i love your videos and content. Keep up the good work.
