How to Tell If Jordan Shoes Are Real or Fake
- 1). Check the shoe description and information on the shoe box, if available, for any misspellings or grammatical errors. Most fake Air Jordan shoes are imported from Asian factories, and the errors on the box are a dead giveaway.
- 2). Ensure that the labels on the shoe box and the shoe accurately describe the shoe. If you are unsure of how the model you purchased should look, visit the Nike Air Jordan shoes website and check the catalog. Be wary of any pair of shoes claiming to be Air Jordan "Variants" or "Limited"; with a few exceptions, most Air Jordan shoes sold on the market today are from standard lines.
- 3). Check the Air Jordan logo on the shoes. For more recent pairs, Nike uses a certain production process for logos that are difficult to imitate. If the color and hologram (for some models) look off or inauthentic, the pair of shoes you are holding may be counterfeit.
- 4). Check the Nike Air Jordan shoes website to ensure that the colors of the shoes you have match the model colors available.
- 5). Smell the suspected Air Jordan shoes and compare that to the smell of genuine leather. Because Air Jordan shoes are mass produced with cheap materials and often fake leather, they produce a smell noticeably different from genuine leather products.
