If you are a big fan of the Air Jordan 4 sneakers and Kaws, then you would be interested in their collaboration which saw the creation of the Kaws x Air Jordan 4.
We have created this ultimate guide to the Fake vs Real Air Jordan 4 x Kaws Comparison embedded with images to help you differentiate between the real sneakers and a fake pair.
This legit check guide will take you through the steps you can take to differentiate a fake from the real Air Jordan 4 Kaws.
The quickest way to check for the authenticity of your Air Jordan 4 Kaws is to inspect the rear Kaws and Air Jordan logos and the size tag on your Air Jordan 4 Kaws sneakers.
As we’ve said previously, these two logos on the rear heel site of your Kaws 4 are one of the most reliable spots to look at when checking the fake vs real Air Jordan 4 Kaws.
Looking at the real vs fake Kaws 4 image above, you can see how the “XX” in Kaws’ logos are thinner at the bottom left corners on the replica Air Jordan 4 Kaws pair. Meanwhile, the legit “XX” logo looks thicker and more rounded on the bottom side.
Also, the letter “i” in the word “AIR” is obviously too thick on the fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws pair.
Another reliable spot to look at when checking the fake vs real Kaws Air Jordan 4 is, as we’ve said previously, the size tag. Let’s see the fake vs real Kaws 4 picture:
Analyzing the fake vs real Air Jordan 4 Kaws image, we’ve spotted two main flaws on the fake Kaws 4 size tag.
First, the fake “LN3” text on the top right corner of the size tag is too thin on the fake Kaws 4 pair.
Then, the “MADE IN CHINA” text is too thin too, on the replica Air Jordan 4 x Kaws pair.
The authentic size tag of the Air Jordan 4 Kaws has these texts thicker than the fake size one.

First, we are going to start with the shoe that has the “KAWS” print inside the tongue.
As you may be used to already, let’s have a quick look at the reference real vs fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws image first so that we’d see the flaws on the fake Kaws 4 shoes easier.
In the fake vs real Air Jordan 4 Kaws image above, it is visible how the fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws has the letters “K” and “A” too thick on their legs, compared to the authentic letters.
This is a spot that you can notice with the naked eye since the fake manufacturers laked the detail a lot in here.
Now, the Air Jordan inside tongue tag.
There are some “breaks” in the letters on the authentic Kaws 4 inside tongue tags, but the fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws sneakers have too much space between these gaps on the “A” character in the word “AIR”.
Also, the letter “J” is too thin on the fake Air Jordan inside tongue tags.
As you may have noticed so far, there is a problem with the thinner text pretty much where there is text on the fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws pairs, and the thickness flaw is present on the inside tongue tags as well.
Because we left off at the tongue, let’s also analyze the real vs fake Kaws 4 stitching on the tongue.
The fake Air Jordan 4 x Kaws sneakers are obviously poorer in tongue stitching because they have fewer stitches than the authentic ones, which is obviously noticeable in the fake vs real Air Jordan 4 Kaws image above.
This means that there is less density in stitches on the fake Air Jordan Kaws 4 tongue.
Now, let’s also analyze the outer cage of the Air Jordan 4 Kaws on both the fake vs real Air Jordan 4 Kaws sneakers.
The corners of the triangle are sharp instead of curved on the fake Air Jordan 4 x Kaws pair. The authentic pair must have curved corners.
The cage is placed too low and too much to the right. The authentic Air Jordan 4 x Kaws has its cage placed higher and a bit to the left than the fake pair.
Let’s also have a look at the fake vs real Air Jordan 4 Kaws sockliner, using the reference real vs fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws pictures below:
Looking at the real vs fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws image, you can see how the fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws pair has its sockliner looking too thick at the edge where the cage intersects with it.
On the other hand, the legit Kaws 4 pair has its sockliner thinner in this place.
Now let’s go inside the Air Jordan 4 x Kaws sneakers and analyze the insoles on both the fake vs real Air Jordan 4 Kaws shoes.
We have noticed three main flaws in the fake pair of Jordan 4 Kaws’ insoles.
First of all, there is too much space between the letter “K” and the rest of the text on the fake insoles.
Then, the Jumpan’s arm is too thin on the fake Air Jordan 4 insole. The authentic arm looks a lot thicker than the fake one, and you can notice this with the naked eye.
Closely, the same problem from the rear “XX” heel logos applies here too. The counterfeit Kaws 4 pair has the top right corner of the “X” logo too thin, while the legit pair has the line a lot thicker.
Turning the lights off, you can notice how the green sole of your Kaws 4 pair is glowing. Let’s see the real vs fake Kaws 4 glowing sole pictures:
You can easily notice in the real vs fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws image above how the sole of the counterfeit Air Jordan 4 x Kaws pair is less vibrant than the legit one.
The legit pair has the green on the sole more concentrated than the fake one, as the fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws pair seems to have its nuance of green lighter and less vibrant.
As for the ninth and the last step of our real vs fake Kaws 4 guide, we’ve prepared the box label.
Let’s see the reference pictures and analyze the box label together with the help of the fake vs real Air Jordan 4 Kaws image.
There is an extra paint scratch that shouldn’t be on there, but it is present on the fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws box label. That just looks worn-out.
The text that indicates the size of the Air Jordan 4 Kaws sneakers is too close to the edge of the black sticker and too close to the white sticker that indicates the barcode on the fake Air Jordan 4 Kaws box label.
