How to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP

Step 1: Fake vs real Air Jordan 1 CO.JP interior tongue label

For the first step of the guide on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes, we are going to look at hate interior side of the tongue label on the fake vs real CO.JP Air Jordan 1s.

First things first, let’s have a look at the reference real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP image linked below.

original vs replica air jordan 1 co.jp

In the image with the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes, we have noticed how the fake pair has its “2001” and the “2020” text with two major flaws.

The first flaw is that the fake pair has its “2001” and the “2020” text using a different font from the text found on the authentic label.

Speaking of which, the authentic CO.JP Air Jordan 1s have their text looking thinner than the text found on the replica pair.

At the same time, the fake shoes have their “2001” and the “2020” inscriptions placed too close to each other.

Back to the authentic Air Jordan 1 CO.JPs, we have pointed out how the fake pair has its numbers placed further away from each other.

With this being said for the first method on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes, let’s move on to the second step of the guide.

Step 2: Real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP hourglass shape

Going to the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP sneakers, we are going to look at the real vs fake CO.JP Air Jordan 1s for their hourglass shape.

As you may know, mostly every Air Jordan 1 colourway musth ave its shape from the back looking like an hourglass.

By that, we mean that the authentic Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pairs must look curvy at the top and at the bottom sides, and narrower in the middle.

First of all, let’s have a look at the reference fake vs real Air Jordan 1 CO.JP image below, and after that, we are going to explain the situation with the fake pair.

co.jp air jordan 1 real vs fake guide

In the image with the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes above, we have pointed out how the legitimate pair has its shape curvy at the top and at the bottom sides.

In the middle, the authentic CO.JP Air Jordan 1 pair has a narrowing, therefore leading into the hourglass shape.

Looking at the fake shoes, you can notice how their hourglass shape is not visible at all – in fact, the fake shoes are crooked.

Going more into detail, what we mean is that the fake shoes have their shape looking too straight, as the fake shoe looks too much like a tube.

At the same time, so as to be fair, the fake pair has its hourglass shape a little bit visible on the right side, but not as defined as the legitimate pair’s shape.

The fake pair is curvy just a little bit on the right side, but on the left side, it isn’t curvy at all.

If that was not so clear, let’s proceed to a more detailed fake vs real Air Jordan 1 CO.JP image that will help you see the flaw easier.

authentic vs fake air jordan 1 co.jp

In the image with the real vs fake CO.JP Air Jordan 1s above, we drew green lines so as to easily see how the fake pair does not curve as much as it should.

The lines drawn all around the authentic pair are curvy at the top and at the bottom, and in the middle, they narrow as they should.

Back to the fake pair, you can see how its shape is not pronounced as it should be, because its lines are not as curvy as they should be on the authentic pair.

Step 3: Look at the toe box and its inflation level on your AJ1 CO.JP pair

Proceeding to the third step of the guide on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP sneakers, we are now going to look at the real vs fake CO.JP AJ1 pairs for their toe box.

The toe box is yet another important spot to check in order to learn how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pairs, as the replica items never have their toe box correctly inflated.

The authentic Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pairs must have their toe box with a deflated look, so as to not look too thick or too bulky.

In most cases, the fake pairs have their toe box looking too thick and too bulky, therefore having an over-inflated look.

aj1 co.jp real vs fake guide

In the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP image above, you can see how the fake pairs has its toe box looking too thick, and how the legitimate pair has its toe box deflated.

Remember to also look at the toe box of the Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pair that you are authenticating, because the fake pairs almost always present this flaw.

Step 4: Verify the size tag inside your Air Jordan 1 CO.JP sneakers

Going deeper into the guide on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP sneakers, we now have to move back into the sneakers.

This time, we are now going to look at the little piece of fabric that has the information about the manufacturing of the shoes.

In most cases, the replica Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pairs have their text looking either too thin or too thick.

how to spot fake co.jp aj1

In the image containing the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes above, we have pointed out how the fake pair has its style-code’s text looking too thin.

In fact, if we look at the “DC” text, you can see how the fake pair seems like it uses a different font from the legitimate pair’s text.

Speaking of which, the authentic CO.JP Air Jordan 1 sneakers have their style-code’s text looking thicker and more defined than the one found on the fake pair.

Up next, in the bottom-left corner of the size tag, we have pointed out how the fake size tag has its country of manufacturing’s text too thin.

The fake CO.JP AJ1 pair has its “MADE IN CHINA” lines of text looking too thin and too boxy as well, while the authentic pair has its text thicker and bigger.

With this being said for the size tag, let’s move on to the next way on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pairs.

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.

Step 5: Inspect the letters in the classic Air Jordan logo of your shoes

As for the fifth step of the guide on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP sneakers, we are going to look at the real vs fake CO.JP Air Jordan 1 pairs for their letters in the classic Air Jordan logo.

Just as you may guess, we are first going to brief the reference fake vs real CO.JP AJ1 image linked below.

real vs fake air jordan 1 co.jp

The main flaw visible on the fake pair’s Air Jordan logo is basically on the text: the fake pair has its “AIR JORDAN” text looking too thin.

Talking about the legitimate Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pair, you can see how its “AIR JORDAN” text is thicker than the fake pair’s text.

Step 6: Authentic vs replica Air Jordan 1 CO.JP logo wings

Now that we’ve analysed the text in the classic Air Jordan logo, let’s proceed to the wings within the same logo.

Since at the previous step we were talking about the logo, this time we are going to move just a bit lower below the text, and have a look at the flying wings.

First things first, let’s brief the reference real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP image linked right below.

how to spot fake air jordan 1 co.jp

The main flaw with the fake shoes’ wings in the classic Air Jordan logo is that their paint is at the wrong thickness, as well as the whole logo is badly positioned.

First of all, you can see how the fake shoes have their wings too thin, and how the legitimate pair has its wings thicker.

Then, the second flaw on the fake wings is the positioning, which is too low when compared to the real deal.

In fact, if you look at the fake pair’s bottom left wings, you can see how one wing makes contact with the outline of the patch of where the logo really sits.

Looking at the legitimate Air Jordan 1 CO.JPs, you can notice how their logo is placed higher, and how it looks smaller, and how it doesn’t make any contact with its surroundings, unlike the fake pair’s logo.

Step 7: Check the Nike Swoosh logo on the side of your shoes

Going to the seventh method on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes, we are going to look at the real vs fake CO.JP Air Jordan 1 pairs for their Nike Swoosh logo.

In most cases, the replica Air Jordan 1 shoes have their Nike Swoosh logo improperly shaped, as well as at the wrong thickness.

quality check legit check aj1 co.jp

In the image containing the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes above, we have pointed out how the fake shoes have their logo improperly detailed.

In fact, the fake pair has its logo looking too small, thick and bulky, whereas the authentic pair is exactly the opposite.

The fake pair has its logo too little sharp at the top, while the authentic pair has its logo looking sharper and better than the fake pair’s logo.

At the same time, the stitching job found all around the fake pair’s Nike Swoosh logo is too thick, while the authentic CO.JP AJ1 pair has its stitching thinner.

To be clear, the authentic pair has its stitching job looking thinner because it is fit deeper into the Swoosh, whereas on the fake pair, the stitching is fit less deep into the logo, therefore looking thicker.

Step 8: Look at the corner stitching on the side of your CO.JP Air Jordan 1s

Proceeding to the eighth method on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes, we are now going to look at the corner stitching on the side of the two pairs.

What we mean by corner stitching is actually that “L” shaped lined of stitching that forms a corner at the Swoosh, and from that point on, crossing on the Swoosh logo.

Let’s have a look at the image with the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes below, so as to properly understand this.

air jordan 1 co.jp authenticity check guide

In the image with the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes above, we have pointed out how the fake pair has its stitching cornered too high above arm the logo.

Taking a quick look at the legitimate CO.JP AJ1s, you can see how their stitching has its corner almost touching the Swoosh.

The fake pair not only has its stitching’s corner too far away from the logo, but the overall look of the threads on the fake pair is too thin.

Back to the genuine Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pairs, you can see how the stitching looks thicker and bulkier than the fake pair’s stitching.

Step 9: Analyze the holes on the toe box of your Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes

Looking at the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes from a top-down angle, we are now going to check out the holes on the toe box of the two pairs.

First things first, let’s have a look at the reference real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP image linked below.

air jordan 1 co.jp authentication guide

In the image with the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pairs above, we have pointed out how the fake pair has its perforations on the toe box at the wrong width.

That is because the fake pair has its perforation holes looking too narrow and small, while the authentic pair has its holes wider and genuinely bigger than the fake ones.

Step 10: Check the insole of your CO.JP Air Jordan 1 sneakers

Moving back inside the genuine vs replica Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes, we are now going to have a look at the fake vs real CO.JP Air Jordan 1 pairs for their text on the insole.

fake vs real air jordan 1 co.jp

In the image with the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes above, we have pointed out how the fake pair has its “CO.JP” text improperly printed on the insole.

By that, we mean that the fake pair has its letters looking “scrapped”, as they are too thin and the fabric of the insole actually looks like it is waving through the “CO.JP” text.

On the other and, the original Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes have their “CO.JP” text using high-quality materials, as it looks thicker and truly defined when compared to the fake pair’s print.

Step 11: Analyze the patch on the back of your Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pair

As for the eleventh method on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes, we are now going to look at the real vs fake AJ1 CO.JP sneakers for their patch on the rear side.

The patch which we are going to look at is the one where the two Nike Swoosh logos meet – the one on the interior and the one on the exterior profile sides.

aj1 co.jp fake vs real guide

In the image with the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pairs above, we have noticed how the fake pair has its patch looking too narrow.

On the other hand, the authentic Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pair has its patch where the two logos meet looking wider and less small than the fake pair’s patch.

Step 12: Brief the exterior tongue badge of your Air Jordan 1 CO.JP

For the twelfth step of the guide on how to authenticate Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes, we have to look at the badge found on the exterior side of the tongue.

In most cases, the replica Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pairs have their text at the wrong thickness.

In the image with the fake vs real Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pairs above, we have noticed how the fake pair has its “NIKE” and the “AIR” inscriptions looking too thick.

Back to the original Air Jordan 1 CO.JP pair, you can notice how its “NIKE” and the “AIR” inscriptions are thinner than the fake pair’s text.

Step 13: Examine the text on the box label of your Air Jordan 1 pair

Proceeding to the thirteenth and the last step of the guide on how to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP shoes, we are now going to look at the fake vs real CO.JP AJ1 pairs for their text printed on the box label.

In the image with the real vs fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP box labels above, we have pointed out one flaw visible in three major spots.

Looking at the fake pair’s “EURO UK cm” text, you can see how the three inscriptions are too thin when compared to the legit text.
