The Nike Air tag on the tongue doesn't need to sit perfectly in order to be a legit pair. I've heard a lot that some of the pairs, the Nike Air logo is cut off by a little. Also, one major key to legit check is to see if the lacebags have 4 lines on the top. Since the remastering of Jordans, every pair that has a lacebag has 4 lines. The tumbled leather check wouldn't work for the GS pairs since they didn't use tumbled leather. Holes don't need to be cleanly punched out either.
Is it possible just to have 1 real shoe and 1 fake shoe? I have one that looks spot on and one that has no tumbled leather in the upper panel, different leather around the cuff, 1 stitching error, and slight weird pen marks. Some people are telling me its quality control but I find that hard to believe.
@ryannsneaks can u answer eric's question about the other pair not obviously having the same tumbled leather on the swoosh as the other pair...is it facotry deffect or something else?
Yeah the pair is real however by the sounds of it it’s a c grade. If you bought them for retail you got screwed but if you got them really cheap then that’s probably the reason why. Sellers won’t tell you these things because they think you won’t be smart enough to tell it’s a pair with defects. I had a very similar issue with my space jam 11s I had peaks and the leather was sewing was shaky. But they were from footloocker and I bought them off a guy for over retail.
I just noticed my breds 1s the left shoes is different from the right the nike logo on the sole is tilted also the back side has smooth leather compared to the right did flight club send me a 1 legit pair and 1 fake ?
Question: I noticed the "TM" on the wings logo for the 2013 model is toward the back of the logo but on the 2016 its more toward the lace loop. Can anyone confirm this?
It doesn't need the stamp. I have 2 pairs of bred 1s. One from Footaction and one from Champs. The ones from Footaction had the stamp but my Champs pair didn't.
i got mine from footlocker and it has no stamp on the box...like what you said sir some box doesn't have stamp on 'em...the 11 lows i got from eastbay don't have stamp on the box also...
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 financials 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 snthat 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.
Hi! Thanks for the video. A question: The "nike air" red print on the sole (you can see on 2:58) comes off after a while on my shoes. Should it be like that?
Can someone confirm if these conditions also apply to youth/GS? I have a barely used pair I bought from GOAT and my swoosh/toe box does not look tumbled & the leather overall is nowhere near as soft as my royals & shadows (I will say these are more beat than my banneds, though). I’m just worried that I got sold fakes 😭
Tesla '84 was when they were "BANNED". The NBA allegedly shunned the Air Jordan 1's, however it was the Nike Air Ship that was banned because they didn't have white in it.
This was honestly one of the best legit check vids I've seen. Very thorough and insightful, but you didn't drag on and make this a 20 minute video!
Everything checks out on my UA pair… down to the stitching and leather.
The Nike Air tag on the tongue doesn't need to sit perfectly in order to be a legit pair. I've heard a lot that some of the pairs, the Nike Air logo is cut off by a little. Also, one major key to legit check is to see if the lacebags have 4 lines on the top. Since the remastering of Jordans, every pair that has a lacebag has 4 lines. The tumbled leather check wouldn't work for the GS pairs since they didn't use tumbled leather. Holes don't need to be cleanly punched out either.
there are some authentic 1s where the wings logo points toward the top of the bottom lace hole
305inest is this information legit? Because im freaking out that mine is facing the bottom hole
QC is all over the place
The best way to tell is the size of the lace bags.
Is it possible just to have 1 real shoe and 1 fake shoe? I have one that looks spot on and one that has no tumbled leather in the upper panel, different leather around the cuff, 1 stitching error, and slight weird pen marks. Some people are telling me its quality control but I find that hard to believe.

I had a very similar issue with my space jam 11s I had peaks and the leather was sewing was shaky. But they were from footloocker and I bought them off a guy for over retail.
Great video thanks for the information
not every box from retail stores came with the stamp inside the lid. I bought one from the mall on release day and they don't have the stamp
I just noticed my breds 1s the left shoes is different from the right the nike logo on the sole is tilted also the back side has smooth leather compared to the right did flight club send me a 1 legit pair and 1 fake ?
Everything you mentioned checks out on my pair. The only thing is the ‘nike’ is a little lifted on the tongue tag. Is that an automatic legit fail?
Question: I noticed the "TM" on the wings logo for the 2013 model is toward the back of the logo but on the 2016 its more toward the lace loop. Can anyone confirm this?
good legit check, quality on the 2016s are great, so just like you said it would be tough for fakers to imitate.
Quality on my Reps in 2023 says it’s not tough to imitate…
i like how the nike swoosh on the 2013s takes up more space the 2016 swoosh seems too small
its more og
Hey ryan question , whats a doper sneaker space jam 11 Or royal 1
Got a pair coming in a couple days so now I know what to look for when they finally get here. Thanks for the info
Did it fit you perfectly? And do they fit like the air forces?
my pairs straight from footaction and has no red stamp on the lid so...
That's strange. All JB products should be stamped. Gold 11 loss I got from Nike didn't have stamp either. Maybe QC slacking.
i guess lol, doesnt matter to me tho, ik they are real since they are straight from footaction and ima be rocking anyway
@@Ryansneaks Why mine says AJKO?
I dont got a stamp in my box but everything else checks out. Got mine from dope foot any thoughts?
The QC stamp*
It doesn't need the stamp. I have 2 pairs of bred 1s. One from Footaction and one from Champs. The ones from Footaction had the stamp but my Champs pair didn't.
cool thanks bro appreciate it!
my pair didnt have a stamp on the lid, only on the box
my quality control stamp is inside the box not the lid????
That's fine. Should be stamped somewhere. Some QC just don't stamp at all. My 11 lows from Nike went Unstamped. All the 1s I have are stamped though
yeah it happens, one of my banneds are like that your fine
Is the spaced out QC stamp on the lid a red flag for fakes?
mine too are on the box
i got mine from footlocker and it has no stamp on the box...like what you said sir some box doesn't have stamp on 'em...the 11 lows i got from eastbay don't have stamp on the box also...
my stamp is inside of the box instead of lid is that okay?
Great video. Thank you
Wrong about the Nike air tag.i have a pair from foot locker and both shoes the air lines up along the bottom of tag.

Everything checked out, but the perforations on the toebox wasn't cleaned. There was still remains of the cutouts. Does that mean its fake?
Can just be quality
When I clean with a wipe the red dye bleeds. Is that normal?
Everything checks out on my pair accept for the Nike air on the tongue is a little cut off should I be suspicious or is it just how my pair came
Can be possible factory error
RyanSneaks mines is only the red letter inside the box , but I got the receipt also the date is right
just got my pair from reseller, everything looks legit thx for the vid
Do you know if the kids sizes have the tumbled leather?
Daniel Urias they dont
nice vid review hommie

The 2001 bred 1s came with widows peaks tho...
I've had 2001 pairs and they do not
+Ryansneaks You're wrong. 2001 breds did come with widows peaks look up the bred 1 2001&2013 comparison on SneakerNews.com.
Plus i own both breds and royals from 2001 and they come with widows peaks do your research isnt this a sneaker channel...
iKNOWiKNOWNOTHING yeah mine have peaks on my royals
Repfam gang!
some pairs arent as tumbled as others on the toebox
the swoosh by the 45 degree stitch on all my ones are a little lower is that normal?
no. where'd you get ur shit from?

I thought the 2013 pair had the x on the back
Enrique Marin that would be the 2011 pair that was released in outlets
if there's a serial number on the lid then it's fake.
That's the opposite lmao
Thank you
glad mine are real
