How to Identify Genuine Air Jordans

By: Harry Peter

It was pure magic that followed the launch of Air Jordans in the year 1985, and much the same awaited Nike Air Jordans X Air Force 1 Fusion later. But it was not too late before the counterfeit makers pulled up their socks and got to their jobs. Today it is not strange to see fake Air Jordans being sold for $10 in the market. Read on to learn how to tell fake Air Jordans before paying for them?
How to tell when Air Jordans are fake
Gone are the days when people used to buy things based on word of mouth alone let alone Air Jordans; in this interconnected world consumers are getting savvier by the day and counterfeiting is not going to be easy. Following are some tests to identify fake Air Jordans.
1. Genuine Air Jordans has identical manufacturing numbers on both the box, Check whether they match exactly.
2. You can find the famous Nike swooshes only on the outside on original & retros and original 2-8s have them on insoles, anywhere else should ring the alarm bells to you.
3. Original Nike Air Jordans are always wrapped in brownish paper and never in tissue paper, the quality of renowned jumpman logo on the chrome lace ends should tell a story too, if tags are in orange colors, just chuck it.
4. Use a model guide to check available colorways; Air Jordans are never made in sponge bob prints.
5. Don’t forget to check for print quality of box, the jumpman logo etc especially when you are paying a premium price for your Air Jordans.
6. All genuine low cost Nike Air Jordans are marked as B grade and are sold at factory outlets in addition to wholesale stores licensed by Nike. Check whether low priced shoes are marked B Grade if you are in doubt.
7. Many eBay shippers sell fake Nike Air Jordans, be cautious.
8. The number 335x23?12 printed on the inside of Nike box is invalid.
9. Make sure to check Nike’s home page for approved retail outlets/websites. Similarly, read “About Us” pages of websites you are contemplating to buy from.
10. Font colors, styles print quality; box and card qualities may quite possibly be having a story to tell. Fake manufacturers almost invariably fail here too.
11. All Air Jordans invariably carry their release dates on labels which are clues to their rarity so that you can determine the model and whether or not it is genuine.
12. No sooner than you open the box, all genuine, new Nike Air Jordans must smell genuine leather and nothing else. If they smell glue or something else, rest assured, something is fishy.

It is easier said than done, the ever lasting fame of Air Jordans prompt counterfeit makers innovate harder and harder by the day. Be alert when buying your shoes. Your final defense against fake Air Jordans is to cross check with the company when in doubt.
