None of the fakes are fake. They are real. They are just B stock shoes with small flaws. That`s why every single video when they compare fake with real shoes you cant really tell the difference. Even some of the shoes from stores have flaws. I seen one video on youtube where a guy showed 2 pairs of shoes that he bought at the store. Everyone in the comments said his shoes was fake but they was from footlocker with small flaws.
Brian Erwin Bro that's what I'm saying people go to the extreme to figure out how they can say what's fake or what's not lol its like a job to them lol...anyways check the comment I made for his video ....
Scratching the box and the wrapping paper......idk maybe im a lil too cheap or somethin my opinion if you can dunk a basketball in em without breaking your ankel or get a chicks number (if wearin for looks alone) then who really cares "which" china sweat shop they come from?? 250 is pretty damn steep for most ppl let alone resellers prices....but if ppl are willing to pay that God bless em.
Very true! I used to smh when I saw people wearing fakes now I realize the person wearing them probably didn't give two shits about whether or not they were authentic Jordan's. In the grand scheme of things it does't matter
A lot of fakes are produced by people who actually work or have worked in the factory they get the same material and have the ability to make the fakes in some apartment there are some Chinese sellers who specialize in fakes and sell them as such but the issue is not whether someone will know if you have on real kicks or not the issue is what you paid !! These kicks retail at $250 real but if you can buy quality fakes for 1/2 then ok you know what you’re getting into but paying the $250 for fakes that’s deceptive that’s not cool !!
John Turner they sent me a clear fake pair of satin 6. The cloth patter cuts were not even the same size on each shoe and it was very noticible. I sod em back thru them too so that further let me know they extra bang bang
As a shoe lover, not a shoe collector, the difference would never be noticed by an average joe. I appreciate this video, even with all the small stuff. I appreciate the knowledge always gained after your videos. Much respect Sir.
The suede looks ashy on the real pair, the fake pair's "suede" just looks like "Nubuck". Depending on the look you're going for or what you prefer, its your choice. Overall I don't like the shoe at all to begin with.
The fakes look better quality the only issue was the suede. The Reals tags seemed faded and not crisp text and the 23 in the back look off centered on the real pair.
Exactly bro he is an idiot trying to sound good and he got ripped off from stock x!! His boy got good 11s and he tried to out do him and lost is what I'm hearing
To be honest...prices for Jordan's have gone up to ridiculous prices and with bill's and children I wouldn't care if I wore some clean fakes....I'm happy with them,saved money AND my family eat...
CoreyDM I try to buy the real Jordan’s off SNKRS but I’ve always take Ls. Prom Nights and Travis Scott’s sold out in seconds. BS! I’m gonna buy reps of them. Buy the real ones and sell them on StockX to get the reps. No one will ever know except you.
Thank you so much for your video and keeping it real. Please keep telling your people to buy retail, that way it keeps the UA sneakers price low for all us common folk that want to look fresh and still have money left over for the car notes, mortgages and our kids college education. Keep it real people and buy retail...🙏🙏😛😝😁
That's what I'm saying the fake pair looks better than the real pair you should have checked your shit homie I deal with a hundred percent authentic but come on man that fake pair looks better than the real you clowning on this video but I'm proud and like you collection but the fakes look better
the fake pair isnt exactly the same but as far as visually and functionally they are just about the same quality. so when you pay extra for the "real" you are mainly just paying for authenticity.
Thank you for this “real vs fake” break down. I definitely appreciate videos like these. Real elaborate and detailed. And for those saying who cares about if they’re fakes?! Is bugging. Straight up. I care! I don’t any fakes. Period! Sneakers are mad money as is. So to pay the same price or more for fakes is outrageous. I’m not about that. If I happen to buy a fake. I want to know at least! Don’t beat me in the head and tell me they’re real and charge me a ridiculous price. Fake should be sold at lower value if they’re going to be floating around. But all in all. I don’t want fakes at all.
That`s great. You can waste all of your money while the smart people buy the same exact shoes as you for $50. lol Nobody can tell the difference. People don`t walk around with magnifying glasses. lol 😂😂😂😂
Like I said who cares these days and people go out their way to get Jordan when he said his shoes were made for rich white people. 1 strike for me but it's your money. I feel the people who can't afford them. I would recommend a fake pair. You can't really tell these days what's real or what's fake. I got plenty of Jordans but I'm not all about Jordan anymore like I used to be I'm into air max 95 🤷🏾♂️ I just bought the peace sign Nike Air Raid. I'm into old school shoes just not focused on one particular shoe
Me and my brother purchased retail pairs from the same Nike store and both looks slightly different if examined closely. Different batch will look a little different.
Tell me why the jumpman on the reals look “faker” than the actual fake ones😂😂ain’t no one gonna be like damn you got fake Jordan’s on bc of the suede who gonna be touching your shoes other than you
Hey OG... Only difference between “retail” and “UA” is that Nike/Jordan Brand get no $$$ from the UA shoe, just the Chinese factory (both made in China) and their workers do!! StockX tag don’t mean shit anyways!! Facts!!!!
I don’t know why they do vids on real vs fake, there has to be differences it can’t be identical. So there will always be small details changed. Just remember your real pair cost under $10 to make n u paying $250
They really.dont get it. Ever think females dont care. Long as they clean? Only guys pay attention. Females worried about your bed game NOT shoe game lol
Excellent video and thorough. Do you also notice the medial and lateral cuts on the fakes? It stays level where the reals have a rise as it goes towards the heel
It's hard to tell difference now cause these reps are damn near identical...not every retail pair is the same since Nike QC is trash so stuff that are off on reps you can see on real ones
@@jumpmanbostic I'd never buy reps personally but with how close to being 1:1 I starting to rethink since releases are bot filled...idk how but some of these factories are getting the molds to the shoes and files to make them smh
My question is, what materials are both shoes made of? Do the fakes also use fake materials? Like fake patent leather? Fake rubber outsole? Does anyone know the answer?
They are the same exact shoe. They both are real. Go to footlocker and get 2 pairs of the same exact shoe and look at them. They will always be a little bit different. Its not possible to make every single shoe perfect. People weary about the wrong things. Nobody can tell if a shoe is real or fake when you are walking around in them.
They use the same damn material...sometimes less the carbon fiber...which Jordan needed for HIS FOOT...UA'S come from the same exact shoe mold...same material...same country...from ppl who used to work I. The factory...watch VICE on RU-vid ...they tell and show u...take u to a "fake" factory...Chinese guy said he used to work at a factory for Nike...all the same shit
Next time u do a comparison on fakes try and do the same sizes.. I know there fakes. But heights and stuff of where stuff is supposed to be is going to be different from size to size
Easy to spot fakes when there is a side by side comparison to the real, but a great educational video to look for inconsistencies. If something feels off, move on and trust your gut.
Thank you Jumpman Bostic I was so in question about buying from StockX due to all the fakes rumors or shall I say the lack of how people say Stock X quality control is not up to par but i ask you have you had any issues with StockX?
Bruuuuh...the fake pair is made with the same show mold in the same country by the same Asians lol the box details...don't matter...if I can put the "fake" pair on my feet,see em, feel, and walk in them...they real asf
Is still comparing the barcode number on the shoe with what’s on the box a good way to confirm authenticity or do the fakes have matching numbers as well
At the end of the day, Nike have there shoes the same place the fakes are being made. AYa heart breaks when you really think of it. The only thing that holds it up is our approval and perception.
The shoe tree don't come with a paper wrapping on them but if the shoe size is from 12.5 to 14 it won't have the B1 or B2 mark on it, size 10.5 to 12 have them.
This what pissed me the most about some sneaker heads . The UA looks close like the real pair . Like yo I will not paying over 350 for a pair . I see why people buy UA pairs to save bread and they have other priorities . I have most respect for bostic. Yea he is dope to the sneaker communities. You have to validate why people by they buy UAs.
DanielFriedman that’s what my problem is. I’m not trying to troll these jokers but why no one ever do a real vs fake vid with a product from the authorized retailer or snkrs. Show the receipt! They stay cleaning pipe with all these suspect consignment shops that has been exposed for sending the wrong item and selling fakes. They’re poisoning the culture fam. Word💯
Good looking out. I just got those today from a raffle and they said the Box ( old Jordan box) was wrong but the shoe was legit. And they was right after watching this video. Thanks (still mad I didn't get the original box)
That's why I only buy straight from Nike , way too many good fakes out there .. I wouldn't even buy from a retailer , the dudes that work there swap them with fake pairs , I've actually seen it with my own eyes ..
@@TopGunn827 no they don't bro , quit making s*** up .. and worst case scenario Nike will gladly refund or exchange anything , can't say the same for other vendors
@@TopGunn827 I work for Nike , and they have cameras on all their warehouses , here and in china . Anyone can say they have proof , I work there , my dad is the owner , blah blah
Not all the fake cap and gowns have the wrapped shoe tree and cardboard insert. The stitching, the suede, windows peaks on some you would swear theyre real,Ive seen a bunch of these fakes. The quality varies but one pair i saw you couldnt tell the difference between the real and fake. But he did pay $145 for it.
They have a whole new realm of fakes now. You have the 1:1 which are pretty good and you have the Authentic (super fakes). Prices range from $140 to $190. You would not believe the difference in quality $50 makes. I've seen the super fakes side by side with authentic (store bought) and there is absolutely no difference. None. And I'm a guy who's been into Air Jordans since they first dropped in '85. I don't really care what someone buys with there money as long as they aren't trying to get over on someone and portray something as "real" and it isn't
there are only a few reasons why people would consider unauthorized sneakers. 1. use, 2. workmanship, 3. quality/durability, 4. comfort , 5. cost, 6. availability. if these 6 reasons meet the requirement, people would get them. a few people get mad because of this because it affects the scalpers money making scheme for selling trash shoes that have degraded over time that's been kept on storage hoping that someday it would hold more value that it actually is worth. there is a fine line between legitimate collectors and scalpers and I doubt that majority of them are collectors. majority of these so-called sneaker experts don't even know what they are talking about and just there to devalue others fascination and love for sneakers whether authorized or unauthorized. with shoe manufacturers coming up with new and better shoes every month, OG's would just become relics of the past. I have my own pairs of Jordan OG's but I'm much more interested now with newer, better shoes.
Man I just pulled out them cardinal air Jordan 7's from 2006 man the leather on them is awesome JMB do some old skool reviews for your real OG's in the game....🙏
got a question I bought a pair no box from a dude I've done business with in the past and all shoe have been legit. I bought these pairs off him and I don't see any red flags but was wondering are the insoles suppose to come off? Because the insoles on mine are stick in, I don't know if all jordan 11 insoles come sticked to the sole or if people a remove the soles some way just to check the shoe
I already called someone out on eBay for this. The very 1st dead giveaway was the tissue paper on the shoe tree he had in one of the pics. The pair I bought also didn't come with the usual cardboard ankle collars or whatever they're called and his had those also in another picture. The outsole point on the back heel area was rounded too.
I need all black sneakers for back to school, and I’m in love with these. But I’m concerned with the sole of the sneaker. Would you say that it looks closer to black or does it look more bluish?
