1. The tongue label’s text is precisely printed and devoid of any inconsistency. The font weight is perfect while the space between the characters is even. Only high-precision manufacturing equipment can produce these tongue labels in this manner, a detail which fake manufacturers overlook. 2. The overall shape and structure of this pair are in tune with other authentic Air Jordan 1 pairs, as the toe boxes are slim and “deflated”, as opposed to the over-inflated toe boxes found on fake pairs. 3. The quality of the leather found on this Air Jordan 1 pair is in tune with other Air Jordan 1 pairs in this colourway 4. The thickness of the swooshes found on this pair is perfect 5. The size tag’s inscriptions present the right font-weight, kerning and word spacing. 6. The toe box holes are aligned in a similar manner to the way toe box holes are aligned on authentic versions of this model and unlike the way they’re aligned on fake versions of this model.
