Tip 1: Look at the toe box
We all know that AJ is a sneaker specially made for European and American people, so the shape of the toe box is also the most intuitive way to identify it. Compared with the genuine product, the toe shape of the FAKE is wider. Maybe the counterfeiter made it to cater to Asian feet. But the authentic ones are more modeled after the long and thin feet of Europeans, so the toes are also narrower.
Tip 2: Look at the upper of the shoe
Whether the quality is good or not depends on the material. Although AJ1 is very expensive, it is expensive for a reason. Compared with the slightly rough artificial leather material of the fake, the delicate lychee texture looks more advanced.
The leather cutting of FAKE is also very rough. You can often see burrs on the edges of the shoes. At the same time, there will be many wrinkles on the surface after wearing them for a short time, which is really annoying.
Tip 3: Look at the swoosh
Of course, the flying wing logo is also a major criterion for identifying authenticity. The English letters of Air Jordan on real sneakers are much thicker, and the colors are full and rich. Has a strong sense of inking.
The hidden design is that the letters R and D on the whole leather are connected, but most fakes don’t know this, and there is a very obvious separation position, so you might as well take this seriously. Find out.
