Trying to learn how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold sneakers? If so, you’ve come to the correct place.
That is because only by reading this real vs fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold legit check guide, you are going to easily learn what to look for in order to easily spot fake AJ1 Volt Gold pairs.
We are going to arrange all of the information on how to spot fake Volt Gold Air Jordan 1s throughout a few steps, and so, no information will be mixed or misunderstood.
Each step will have reference Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold images so that all of the flaws will be easily visualized along with a genuine item on the side.
To put it shortly, the fastest way to spot fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold is to look at the label on the exterior side of the tongue, as the fake shoes never have the multiple lines of text at the correct thickness and shape, while all of the replica AJ1 Volt Gold pairs have their text improperly font-weighted.
Just as how we’ve previously mentioned, we consider the exterior side of the tongue’s badge as definitely the best way to spot fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold pairs.
Therefore, we’d like to mention that you should never skip checking the text on the exterior side of the tongue, as the fake Volt Gold 1s never have this detail on point.
So, first of all, the same what we’ve promised, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold image below, and after that, we will explain the flaws on the fake shoes.
Now that you’ve had a look at the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold image above, let us explain the flaws on the fake shoes.
Starting with the “SWOOSH ®” text in the upper side of the tag, you can see how the fake shoes have their inscription looking as if it is faded out.
In fact, this flaw is caused on the fake shoes due to the low-quality materials, while the genuine shoes prove their high-quality materials by the way that the materials look.
Then, one line of text lower, we have the “NIKE.LE” inscription which is too thick and too boxy on the fake shoes, while the same text on the legitimate pair is thinner and wider.
Within the same line of text, we have the “SWOOSH” inscription as the last word on the line, text that on the fake shoes is too thick and too boxy.
On the other hand, the authentic Nike Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds have their “SWOOSH” text thinner and wider than the fake pair’s text, once again.
The same flaw on the fake shoes’ next “SWOOSH ®” text applies as well, as the text is too thick and too boxy, while the legit Volt Gold 1s have their text thinner and wider.
Then, looking at the “MADE IN CHINA” and at the “FABRIQUE EN CHINE” two lines of text, you can see how the replica Volt Gold AJ1s have these inscriptions just too boxy.
Back to the authentic Volt Gold AJ1s, you can observe how these two lines of text that indicate the country of manufacturing the shoes are wider than those on the fake shoes.
Lastly, at the bottom of the label, we have these two lines of stitching, and on the fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds, these are too thick and too small.
The authentic Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds have their two lines of stitching being thinner than the stitches on the fake pair’s label.
In the image above, we’ve highlighted another authentic Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold exterior tongue label for your reference, in case you wanted to see another authentic example.
Going to the next step of the guide on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes, we are now going to flip the fake vs real Volt Gold 1s to the rear side, and we’ll have a look at the shape of the shoes.
The same as the name of this step, the authentic shoes, from the rear side, must present a shape that’s similar to a hourglass shape.
That means that the genuine Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold pairs must have their shape of the leather side curving at the top and at the bottom, and in the middle side of the shoes, there must be a narrowing.
So as to visualise this and in order to understand this easier, let’s have a look at the image with the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds from the back.
So, as you can see in the image with the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds above, the genuine shoes have this bulge on the yellow and on the volt/green sides, and in the middle, there’s this narrowing.
Now, having an overall look at the authentic Volt Gold Air Jordan 1s, you can see how these shoes can be assimilated with an hourglass.
At the same time, while the fake shoes have this hourglass shape, you can see how the shape is too little accentuated on the fake shoes, as the fake pair isn’t as curvy as the legit one.
If that wasn’t so clear, we’ve got you covered with this more detailed fake vs real Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold image linked right below.
We drew green lines for both the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds so that the curvature on the two pairs can be easily visualised.
Please keep in mind that the hourglass shape won’t be visible when the shoes are on foot! The shape can be visible when the shoes are not worn by somebody, and when they are off-foot.
Now that you know how to spot fake AJ1 Volt Golds shoes by the hourglass shape as well, let’s see what the third step of the guide has prepared for us.
Moving forward to the third method on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes, we are now going to have a look at the shoes from the profile side.
No matter if you check them from the interior or from the exterior profile sides, this tell is still available, as we only need to look at how thick the toe boxes are.
Just as you may guess now, we’ll first come with the reference real vs fake Volt Gold Air Jordan 1 image, and after that, the situation will be explained.
Starting with the authentic shoes, you can see how the overall look of the toe box, especially on the black leather side, is thin and not very bulky.
On the other hand, looking at the fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold pair’s text, you can observe how the fake shoes have their toe box thicker and with a sort of over-inflated look.
In fact, what we mean here is that the replica Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds have their toe box looking too massive when put in comparison with the genuine shoes.
Going to the fourth method on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold sneakers, we are now going to look at the size tag inside the shoes.
The size tag is that little piece of fabric that holds information about the manufacturing of your shoes, as well as, obviously as its name states, the size of your shoes.
In the image with the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes above, we have shown you how the fake shoes have their “55088-118” text, which stands for the style-code of the Volt Gold 1s, is too thin.
On the other hand, the retail Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes have their same inscription with the style-code being thicker and more defined than the fake pair’s text.
Up next, looking at the “UPC” text, which is individual for each pair, you can see how the fake Volt Gold 1s have their “UPC” inscription and its numbers being really, really thin.
Yet again, the authentic Nike AJ1 Volt Gold pair has its inscription thicker than the “UPC” text and the numbers on the fake shoes.
Moving into the bottom-left side of the size tag, you can see how the fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds have their “MADE IN CHINA” lines of text looking way thinner than the ones on the legit shoes, which are again thicker.
The steps we’ve written so far are the best ways to authenticate this item.
The next few steps are still reliable signs of authenticity but are for non-top-versions of replicas available for this item. We recommend sticking to the steps we’ve explained above to make sure you’re not drawing the wrong conclusions.
As for the fifth step of the guide on how to spot fake Volt Gold Air Jordan 1s, we have prepared the classic Air Jordan logo, which can be found on all Air Jordan 1 shoes and colourways.
There is a quality gap in terms of thickness between most of the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds, and so, let’s have a look at the image below in order to see that.
In the image with the authentic vs replica Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes from above, we have pointed out how the fake AJ1s have their “AIR JORDAN” text at the wrong thickness.
That is because the fake pair has its text looking really thick, while the legit Volt Gold AJ1 pair has its “AIR JORDAN” inscription thinner.
Then, looking at the “TM” text, you can observe how the replica Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds have their “TM” inscription too thick, while this time, the authentic pair has its text thicker.
The sixth method on how to spot fake Volt Gold AJ1 pairs is related to the previous step, as we are still going to look at the classic Air Jordan logo, but this time, we will have a look at the wings in the logo.
As you may know already, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes for their wings in the logo.
In the image with the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes, we have highlighted how the wings on the fake shoes are improperly positioned.
In fact, the counterfeit-manufactured Volt Gold AJ1s have too much space between their wings, while the authentic shoes have less space between the wings, as they are placed closer to each other.
Keep in mind that the authentic Volt Gold Air Jordan 1s will have the same amount of space in-between all of their wings.
Proceeding to the seventh method on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes, we are now going to have a look at the stitching on the big Nike Swoosh logo on the side of the shoes.
Since the Nike Swoosh logo is one of the main details on the side of the Volt Gold 1s, these are one of the details that have the maximum patience and effort put into by the replica manufacturers so as to make the shoes looking good.
Yet, we’ve still managed to spot a flaw on the Nike Swoosh logo attached to the replica Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds.
As always, let’s first quickly have a look at the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold image linked right below.
The main flaw visible on the replica shoes’ Nike Swoosh logo is that the stitching is improperly stamped onto the Swoosh, as the threads have the wrong thickness.
What we mean by that is that the fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes have their stitches too thin, while the same stitches within the authentic AJ1 Volt Gold shoes are thicker and more noticeable than the fake pair’s stitches.
For the eighth way on how to see real vs fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Black University Gold, we are now going to check out the two pairs for their stitching that has a corner next to the Nike Swoosh logo that we’ve previously looked at.
And, as you may know by now, we are first going to have a look at the reference real vs fake AJ1 University Gold Volt image below, and after that, we are going to proceed to explaining the flaws on the fake shoes.
As you can see in the image where we’ve highlighted the real vs fake AJ1 Volt Gold pairs above, the fake shoes have their stitching placed a tiny bit too close to the Swoosh.
On the other hand, the legitimate Air Jordan 1 Volt University Gold has its stitching placed a bit further away from the Nike Swoosh logo.
At the same time, the counterfeit Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds have their stitching to thin, while the genuine pair has its stitching thicker.
For the ninth method on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes, we are going to the front side of the shoes, and we will have a look at the toe box’s perforations.
First things first, let’s have a look at the famous reference real vs fake Air Jordan 1 University Gold image linked below.
The flaw which we’ve spotted and highlighted on the fake shoes is that they have their holes improperly sized.
In fact, we’ve shown you in the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 Black Volt University Gold image above how the fake shoes have their holes too wide when compared to the real deal.
Mentioning the authentic shoes, you can see how their holes seem to be a tad bit smaller and narrower than the ones seen on the fake shoes.
Going to the tenth step of the guide on how to authenticate Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes, we are now going to have a look at the lower side of the shoes, and that’s on the midsole.
The midsole’s stitching that we are about to analyze is the stitching that connects the sole of the shoes to the upper side.
And, so as to compare these correctly, let’s have a look at the image where we’ve highlighted the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes below.
In the image with the authentic vs fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes above, we have pointed out the difference between the legit and the fake shoes.
As you can see, both the genuine and the fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds are manufactured with care, as we have to admit this as well, that the stitching on the fake pair really looks good.
But, that doesn’t stop us from mentioning the flaw. In fact, the flaw is that the fake shoes have their threads on the midsole looking way thinner than what they should be.
On top of that, the replica Volt Gold AJ1s also have their stitches looking too long, as they are longer than the ones on the authentic AJ1s.
Speaking of which, the genuine Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold pair has its stitches looking thicker and boxier than the ones on the fake shoes, as the legit shoes have their stitching generally smaller than the one on the fake pair.
The eleventh method on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes implies flipping your shoes upside down, as you are going to need to check the stars on the soles of the Air Jordan 1s.
In the image with the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds above, we have pointed out how the fake shoes have their stars on the sole too little defined and textured.
That is because when compared to the legit shoes, you can see how the authentic Volt Gold Air Jordan 1s have their stars fit deeper into the sole, as they are more obvious and noticeable than the fake pair’s stars.
Moving forward to the twelvth method on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes, you will have to inspect the shoes from the rear side, once again.
This time, we are going to look at the little patch whether the Nike Swoosh logos from the interior and from the exterior profile sides of the shoes hug together.
In the image with the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes above, we have noticed how the fake Volt Gold 1s have their patch too flatten, as it is too small.
On the other hand, the authentic Air Jordan 1 Volt Golds have their patch on the back of the shoes looking bigger than the one visible on the fake Air Jordan 1s.
For the thirteenth and the last step of the guide on how to spot replica Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes, we are now going to have a look at the label on the box of the real vs fake Volt Gold Air Jordan 1s.
You probably know by now, that we are first going to brief the reference fake vs real Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold image from below.
In the image with the real vs replica Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold shoes box labels above, we have pointed out two flaws, where one flaw is visible in two places.
The flaw visible into multiple places is the thickness one, which can be seen on the fake pair’s “AIR JORDAN 1” main text and on the “cm” inscription.
These two inscriptions are too thin on the fake shoes’ box label, while on the authentic shoes, these are thicker and more defined.
Then, the second flaw is that the fake shoes have their half-a-size “5” inscription placed too far away from the size of the shoes’ text, which on the fake pair’s text, that’s the “42” text.
On the other hand, the authentic Air Jordan 1 Volt Gold sneakers have their half-a-size print placed closer to the size of the shoes’ text, and that is the “45” inscription.
