Kobe Mamba Lakers Jersey Authentic vs. Fake review (How to keep scammers away) 

Thanks brotha! Glad to hear this vid helped you out. Also just an update, I reported the seller who sold me the fake jersey to eBay and they banned the seller’s account completely. They also returned the money to the buyers 🙏🏻

Great idea bro. I’ll make sure to release that video next 🔥

This video is for informative purposes. People who sells fake Jerseys for a much higher mark-up price (saying it’s “authentic”) needs to get exposed. Do you want to pay $300 for a jersey that screams out fake? I don’t think so.

Thank you. A jersey is a jersey. I’m not paying 300 for a damn jersey

@@outlawt628 right I just bout a swingman on eBay hoping it’s real… the authentic ones are way more than $120

Kobe doesn’t get 2 Championships without Shaq

Thanks bro. I’m sure the Nike connect will be faked as well. But it will never be at the same level as how automatic the connection it is on the Authentic jersey. The real ones will connect in less than 1 second of tapping your phone to the jersey. Hope that helps!

@@NeonGodsOfficial for some reason its not on the app store anymore??

Yes there was a very limited release of this Mamba jersey with LeBron’s name and number. It was all scooped up by a bot user though so the prices are all worth more than $2000 now. You can find them on eBay for sale. Just make sure that the jersey you are getting is authentic. If you have any questions, just let me know

Hey there Eric. Nike did releases a very limited amount of LeBron Mamba City Jersey on August 24th of this year. Nike did not do any public announcements about it but yes, they are real. Sadly, a huge majority of the stock were taken by bot users. Some key reminders that you need to remember when purchasing one: 1) The type of material needs to indicate that it is “Aeroswift” and it should not say vaporknit or dri-fit 2) The jersey style is Authentic, NOT swingman. 3) check the tags and make sure it’s legit from Nike 4) make sure the Nike Connect feature work

@@NeonGodsOfficial Thanks so much for all the help buddy. Just a touch confused though. The Lebron mamba jersey released back then weren't swingmans? They were only released in authentic models? Because I have a feeling the one this local seller is selling may be swingman. Does Nike Connect still exist now? Cause I tried to find the Nike Connect App on android's playstore, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Thanks again for all your help buddy!

@@ericsin-depthworld2439 yup only Authentics were made by Nike. All others are replica. The Nike connect App does not appear on the google/apple store but just download the “Nike” App. You’ll see the connect feature there too. It may not working completely but when you tap your phone onto a jersey it should at least connect

@@NeonGodsOfficial thanks again buddy. Its strange though. I was googling the whole night and i didnt see any news or anyone talking about a Lebron mamba jersey at all. Just worried if this one is fake cause im surprised to find out a lebron version was released to the public before. Thanks again

Drea Rica Stock X is the most reliable site to grab an authentic Mamba jersey in my opinion. Thanks!

I also recommend StockX or goat but use several + this video for reference

Great thanks guys!

@@DreaDom don't buy from stock x, those bums are just reselling for money. They have no care it's a KOBE jersey

@@King_Ced then where can someone buy one then? Anyway to avoid the massove price tag

The original one was from Nike. It was about $150 back in 2018

eBay is the best place to get one. Just make sure you include the keyword “authentic” when searching for the jersey

Unfortunately Nike did not produce/release those. Only the replicas/fake Mamba jerseys have the white #2 heart.

Don't think so

The one on the left is the OG Mamba Jersey released back in 2017 (after being designed by Kobe himself). At that time, there were 2 versions: one had the #8 on both front and back, and the other had #24 on both front and back. It was sold in limited quantities to the public and I was lucky enough to snag one during that time. You can check out the facts 👍🏼

@@NeonGodsOfficial facts! I got an authentic stitched #24 version from when they first came out. Ppl these days dont know their stuff. They came out with just #8 front and back and #24 front and back originally. Then the newest release is #8 in front and #24 in the back

Yes those with the wish patches are fake

@@NeonGodsOfficial hope mine is real because it had a KB logo instead of wish and a “2 in a heart” 🙄

I have it with the wish logo and the numbers are stitched

Hi I’ve only seen them sold through eBay (starting price at around $3000 each)

Is it the same replica on the video? I was able to get mine for 6 bucks and almost everything is stitched and not printed. I liked it even though it will be a little uncomfortable to wear.

Agreed. the mamba day jersey like the one you purchased from the Nike store doesn’t have the Nike connect Chip. Only the older versions of the Black Mamba jersey from early 2018 has the chip.. Unfortunately Nike has now discontinued the Nike Connect feature.

Is it fake if it base that yellow lakers logo inside the back collar of the jersey. Where you Nike dri-fit logo is at?

@@colinsaunders8558 the lakers logo on the inside was featured in the City Edition jersey back in 2017. The #8 and #24 does not come with that

Please share this video so it won’t happen to other people!

Yes we can do that. What needs to be done exactly?

Yes you are correct with the difference between the Nike Authentic vs Swingman jerseys.. The title of the video is to compare real (aka Authentic) vs fake (aka replica) jerseys. Don’t worry, I am well aware of the characteristics of the higher end Nike Authentics. For example, it has as a much longer length than the swingman, or there is a the small gold championship patch on the back neckline (for those teams that actually won NBA finals). Please watch the whole video first before commenting. You’ll see that I only refer to the characteristics of the Swingman version of the jerseys.

@@NeonGodsOfficial gotcha ok

Please explain how are mines fake?

@@NeonGodsOfficial When nike released it, way back August 2020..The ONLY Kobe Bryant black mamba jersey has a jersey number 8/24 not 8/8... The legit kobe black mamba jersey 8/24 has also NO nikeconnect in the bottom label, and still.... ... there is no release of kobe blackmamba jersey numbering 8/8.. So sorry.. You just got scammed..

@@NeonGodsOfficial prove your facts.. Reply with a official link of your facts...

Ayy its all good at the end of the day u still reppin Kobe. As long as u didnt pay a crazy price for a fake one i wouldnt be mad. The real ones are hard to come by thanks to all the dam bots and resellers hella over pricing them

Same mine says wish shopping on it 😬

@@ramboliousyt4532 lol all bad

@@savvychaos2872 Amen I’m just trying to pay respect at the moment since NBA store pulled the jersey for the time being.

😂
