Just got my pair in from flight club, overseas pair with matte finish on the leather. I rubbed some mink oil and they turned out looking just like the US released pairs
I think the elephant print shouldn’t even be a feature to compare since it’s so inconsistent even on real retail pairs. Some people have pairs where one is darker than the other. Not even talking about cuts and patterns.
Ya, elephant print typically will be different from shoe to shoe don’t get me wrong however as far as the pattern goes typically wrong on reps too often. But again it’s just 1 area to look at when authenticating. Many more other areas to confirm before making a decision.
Hey brother, I got my pair from stadium goods and the dates on the inside of the tongue of the left and right are different is that normal?? Everything seems good except for that!
Damn this is scary you would not be able to tell unless you had a real one side by side even then its 95% authentic even the shape and toe box are on point thats the main thing you can tell on reps
I wonder how these factories don’t get the exact materials and measurements? Like…….they have almost a never ending supply of materials and if you get your hands on one authentic you’d think they’d have the formula
I got mine on the nike app and originated in china it says, and The ones that I'm worried about is the leather looks matte and stitching inside looks like the reps that you showed but overall looks legit. should I return it?
No they are authentic. China edition is matte black. Some people wanted the glossy pairs instead and have exchanged there authentic eat particular retailers.
Got a pair off of eBay after the shock drop. They arrived today after PASSING authentication from eBay. The pair that I received is identical in every aspect to the fake pair that you are showing in your video. Hopefully eBay makes it right!

@@Theauthenticationguru Have you heard of UA which are "Unaithorized" pairs those are Identical just a few things like color or cuts just a bit off but not that noticable Ive seen other channels review those before and some even be spot on on 2nd batch or run they do
@@freddyg.clippz5587 yes last UA that ever existed was around 2015. The gentleman that wrote the article about them regretted it due to the counterfeit products being called UA’s. I should make a video about them tho. I got articles and so forth we can go over to prove and disprove the current existence.
I ordered a pair from goat which they marked authentic and I noticed the elephant print is light, the leather is more matte and less tumbled and the tag on the shoe box and in the shoes says made in China not vietnam as well as ln4m. Mine were size 11. They also had a long vertical sticker in Chinese writing on the bottom of the box on the right hand side and my order from goat came from Hong Kong China as well I believe, do you think I got fakes or is this some sort of Hong Kong China release ?
@@Theauthenticationguru I had the same extact thing! I asked about the made in china logo above but nvm, u just answered it. Mines has no shine compared to my foot locker pair
Great video, keep up the great work. But that said hard to tell if the reps are on your feet. I'll gladly pay a quarter of the price for a rep 😅. Get 4 for reps for the price of 1 authentic 😅.
The label on my Air Jordan 3 Black Cement 2024 is made in China and I bought it from the official Nike in Brazil. Its code is "LN4M" and the dates are different from the fake one you made in the video.
I have a real pair that came out 2016. Then I turned around and bought the 2024 that is real. The fake 1 that you have looks better than the 2deal pairs i have Jordan brand prices gos up and quality goes down
It’s just an authentication technique but not an overall judgement if the shoe is real or fake. Also, let’s see upon release if alternate pairs were actually made in china rather than Vietnam. It will be interesting to see.
Your comment makes no sense. In comparison between the authentic and the fake, one says Vietnam the other says china. Your argument honestly doesn’t fit this video. Really odd if you ask me.
My bad my bad. Okay let me get this straight. On your video the one that says Vietnam is tagged as authentic then the one that is made in China is a replica. So you saying it doesn’t matter where they made from is what you saying. Oh yeah and they use LNM too in the authentic ones.
@ again. In this video the authentic states Vietnam (which is then domestic pair) and the FAKE shoe states made in the LN4M factory. That is a difference between the authentic and the FAKE in this video. One difference does not dictate the shoe is FAKE however a multitude of differences will. I will never advise “oh that’s a difference and it automatically fake”. For full transparency I always state to take a number of the differences to then make your determination. Don’t just go buy 1 difference automatically thinking your shoe is fake. Also china unfortunately has the largest black market in the world. Every fake is not made in china however a strong majority is. I know you weren’t born yesterday bro. China in fact houses 80% of the counterfeits in the world bro.
@@Theauthenticationguru yeah that’s why I apologized and said “My bad” in my reply and that I mentioned too that it doesn’t matter where they made from. And that your point was even they were tagged as such the nation where they made from don’t matter.
@ mine have NO shine…. I’ve been wanting these shoes for a long time and I just KNEW as soon as I opened the box… now I gotta wait for Goat to get back to me about them.
So where’s the best websites to buy some real nice replicas like this? I’m a single father and I don’t have a lot of money to buy real ones. Can yall help me out please? 🙏
Yeah I know that I was just wondering where you obtain the replicas from that you use for comparison so I can get them myself. I’m not a shamed to wear replicas i don’t make an enough money to buy real ones this is why i haven’t bought any in years being a single is tough these days. But thanks for the info I dig your channel.
You forgot to mention the fake inside grey soft material is more pointy than the real. The real is Round in the back on top of the black Nike air plastic
It’s accurate however I advised I’m basing this off of my domestic pair. You obtained the international pair from LN4M factory. Are you advising UK SNKRS provided it to you or USA SNKRS?
Frak.. mine says made in China which I got from StockX,, comparing it with another one I bought from Concepts the leather is stiff and flat (w/o creases) almost like a matte finish 🤦♂
@@Theauthenticationguru it also don't have any red stitching on the foot bed and the insole is stiff not as rubbery/bendy and glossy as the one from Concepts... and the cover of the box is a lighter blk
