Bruh you don't know how much I needed this I wasn't sure if my military blues were good or not as I bought them off the jordan official website, which on Google didn't have very good reviews 😅
My pair is the SZ one and it came with the green circle sticker inside the box. I also noticed on the box label, the jordan website isnt printed on it.
same mines is sz and has the green sticker on it. and the inside doesnt have the size and the bottom of the inserts are darker. Ive seen people with the darker inserts tho.
I just got a pair from GOAT, got two different production dates on the inside tags that was the first red flag and then there suede on both pairs is different one is super buttery and the other one seems to be more flat, the Nike air logo on the bottom outsole is also super off compared to my other 4s. Pretty sure I got some fakes, I’m requesting a return hopefully I get a real pair next time /:
One more thing I really got to say I appreciate your content you have earned my sub times a million of know I've told you this before keep up all the great content bro you really help a lot of people out with this stuff
I appreciate you, Rocco 👊🏽😎 I think I remember you from a previous video. You're from Arizona, right? I can't remember which video. Thank you for the support!
I just don't understand how and why they cant be consistent with all the factories producing them. Just give them all the same materials/stickers/threading and so on. For the money we pay for these its bullshit.
The 2024 pair does not come with a metal chain, only the pLAstic. The 2012 pair comes with a metal chain, but the tag has a jumpman on it, not Nike Air.
I did too …the only thing that concerns me is after removing the sole there is no sizing showing however I heard not to panic that some that are made over seas won’t have it
Yes, that's correct. The 3 letter code is what I'm referring to. It's possible the stickers were removed or never there to begin with. As for the dates, it's becoming less common for both shoes to have different dates, but that doesn't mean that it won't happen.
That one cool intro bro. I hit on shock drop and I was just a little disappointed on the leather quality at first but somehow the leather is becoming more plush feeling. Like always very informative and on point when it comes to these fakes floating around, it seems they're getting better and better and time goes by. Thanks for the vid. bro. and stay safe, take care.😎
Thanks, RZ! CongratuLAtions on your Shock Drop W! Nothing better than securing a popuLAr release a few weeks early. I wasn't expecting anything spectacuLAr with the leather quality, but it's not too bad. I do pLAn to get a lot of wear out of them, so hopefully the leather will show some character. Always appreciate the feedback, bro! Be safe out there 👊🏽😎
It's possible that you have the SZ version. SZ is the factory code, and can be found in the top right corner of the sizing tag. As far as it being real or not, I can say based on the info you gave me. But, I do have a video on my channel that breaks down the difference between a real SZ pair and a fake SZ pair. Maybe that video will help you get to the bottom of your pairs authenticity
My pair is factory SZ and in the box it came with a ybm green sticker and so did Jay the sneaker guy and couple other utubers everything else checks out maybe a little strong glue smell to but I heard that’s normal
My pair is factory sz and i buy this on GOAT,wired bacause im from USA and goat send my pair from Hong kong, but i make the uv test and its glowing in the front, and the orange nike tag have the same texture on the 2 sides.
I got one pair from Nike SNKRS and it didn't have a Green YDM sticker in box. It says LN4 on size tag. I also got one pair from Stockx that came from Netherlands. This pair had a Green YDM sticker in box. The leather was a tiny bit different than SNKRS pair (small pebbling on leather and SNKRS pair leather was smooth). Also, there was a rectangular sticker on insole as well as size sticker on Stockx pair. Also, the cut on the mudguard on Stockx pair was a bit thinner than cut of grey mudguard on SNKRS pair. Also, the size Tag says SZ on Stockx pair. The weight on both shoes is the exact same and insoles are the same, too. I'm thinking the Stockx pair is the European release and SNKRS is the US release. -Mark S.
Thanks for this video RETROspectiveDAVE. I got a pair from StockX. Label says factory SZ and in the box it came with a YBM green sticker, the smell of glue is terrible. No size stickers in the insole but quality and colors and box info vs. shoel label looks legit. One thing another fake vs. real said was that under blacklight the stitching on the front toe box should not glow, but mine does. Also the blue midsole above the air bubble is smooth, one video said this should have brush strokes visible. What do you think??
My pleasure! Unfortunately, I don't have any knowledge of an SZ pair for this shoe. I know there was an SZ pair for the Reimagined 4, but I'm not sure about the Military Blues. I just uploaded an updated video addressing the YCM sticker, and I've come to the conclusion that there shouldn't be one. The stitching on the front of my pairs do not glow under bLAck light. As for the paint on the mid sole, my pairs have visible brush strokes. If you're unsatisfied with the pair you got from StockX, try contacting them to see if you're able to return your pair and exchange it for a better pair.
I got mine from goat, also SZ region glue smell was so strong, had the stickers the lot. Looked really legit stitching on point although no size stamp under insole, and green sticker, my toe stitching on the toe lit up under black light one of the reasons i returned them fortunately i had a friend who won from SNKRS, his toe box looked slightly darker and the fibres on the toe box looked longer (had more texture) also the blue on the outsole underneath the texture and grain seemed more prominent. If they were reps they were bang on but I didn’t wanna pay that price for copies so sent them back. Hoping the next pair are from different region. Nike need to get a grasp on this really.
I got my SZ pair from GOAT and it sounds like the same as you got. Apparently the green sticker came on all SZ boxes and SZ pairs glow in the toe box while other factories don't. 🤷🏻♂ The glue smell on mine is crazy strong too. But the thing that I find really weird is no size indicated under the stitching on the woven footbed under the insole of the right shoe. I feel like I got sold fakes but they're so close to the LN3 pair I got from SNKRS, who knows if it's just different factory quality control or not.
@@yoKentucky Thank you for your comment! I recently uploaded 2 videos addressing the SZ pair. And I've come to the conclusion that a majority of the fakes/replicas are using the SZ pair as a reference. One of the videos I uploaded shows the difference between the authentic SZ and a fake SZ. Feel free to check it out when you have time 😎
Thanks for reaching out, Adrian. Sometimes the size on the footbed might be very faint on one shoe, but noticeable on the other. Have you looked on both the left and right shoe?
@@retrospectivedave9018 it says sz but i’m scared they fake cuz when u showed the fake pair mostly the stuff matched and both shoes have different dates written on them but i bought it off goat for $281 so idk if it fake or not pls let me know 🙏🏻
@@retrospectivedave9018 it says sz but the date in both shoes are completely different and the one that you showed that was fake kinda looks like mine but i bought it off goat so im not really sure please let me know if it is or how to tell 🙏🏻
Did you watch my most recent video breaking down the difference between the real SZ and the fake SZ? If so, and you still have questions, you might have to send me a message on IG.
Yo hows it going!.just wanted to day, Got a pair from Nike philipines and they were SZ factory code, here in the UAE a friend got a pair from Nike ME and they were facotry code SZ as well.
Hello, can I ask, I also got the SZ ones, but I don't know if they are real. Do your shoes also have the front suede a little darker grey to light brown?
@@matuskusnir3140no i dont think its towards a brown colour at all. May be a bit darker shade but i honestly cant tell the difference, it looks exactly like thd one in the video
