Hey Sneakerheads,
This post is strictly for my fellow sneaker freaks who love to purchase Air Jordan's. I think this is by far my most IMPORTANT post so LISTEN UP!! I have friends who were recently tricked in to spending big bucks for these expensive Air Jordans that were indeed FAKE! I think this post is necessary so I can help you guys from making the same mistake of purchasing fake sneakers.
Fake sneakers (mostly Air Jordan's) have become such a huge market especially overseas where they are indeed made. It used to be very easy to spot knock off sneakers, But today the replicas look better put together than the real ones, and custom sneakers are making it even harder to tell. Lucky for you guys i'm here to save you! Here are some vital tips to spot fake sneakers.
Step 1: Go to Nike.com or footlocker to research the official colorway of Air Jordans, If you don't see your colorway on the Nike site it's most likely fake. Note Occasionally there are special edition colorways for celebrities but only they would get their hands on them, and even those are on Nike's site.
Nike has NEVER partnered with Spongebob sorry kids these are FAKE!!
These are also FAKE this colorway was never released!
Step 2. Look for suspicious Jordan logo. Compare the jumpman to the authentic pair, fake Jordan's have uneven or lumpy jumpman logo.
Step 3. Air Jordan Selling prices. These are the top of the line most expensive sneakers, DON'T expect to get any Jordan for under 150$ I know its tempting thinking you are getting a deal but trust me your not.
Step 4. Avoid buying Overseas. A lot of their sneakers are listed as custom or sample, these are indeed fake. If you buy from Ebay seller check their authenticity on Better Business Bureau to make sure they are a legit seller.
Step 5. Check the Style ID number. In every Air Jordan there is a serial number in the tongue, you can type this number on your computer and the picture of your shoe style should pop up. If they don't match they are FAKE!!!
