How to spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP

To spot fake Air Jordan 1 CO.JP, make sure you check the text on the interior and exterior side of the tongue. Fake shoes typically lack precise detailing.

1. Interior tongue

• Authentic: Distinct, thin font with proper spacing for “2001” and “2020”
• Fake: Bolder font, “2001” and “2020” too close together

2. Hourglass shape

Over 99% of the authentic Nike x Air Jordan 1 colorways have this shape.

• Authentic:
  • Iconic hourglass shape observed from the back
  • Curved contour at both top and bottom
  • Slender profile in the middle
• Fake:
  • Lack of or inconsistent hourglass shape
  • Absence of a defined curved contour
  • Middle profile may not be slender or well-defined

Let’s take a closer look:

• Authentic: Distinct hourglass shape, curvy at top and bottom, narrow in the middle.
• Fake: Lack of consistent hourglass shape, appearing too straight or tube-like, with some curvature visible only on one side.

3. Toe box

• Authentic: Toe box appears deflated, not overly thick or bulky.
• Fake: Toe box often appears too thick and bulky, having an over-inflated look.

4. Size tag

• Authentic:
  • Style-code text is thick and well-defined.
  • “MADE IN CHINA” text is thicker and larger.
• Fake:
  • Style-code text, specifically “DC,” appears too thin and potentially in a different font.
  • “MADE IN CHINA” text is too thin and boxy.

A quick mention:

5. Logo text

• Authentic: “AIR JORDAN” logo text is thicker.
• Fake: “AIR JORDAN” logo text is notably thinner.

6. Wings

• Authentic: Wings in the Air Jordan logo are thicker and positioned higher, with no contact to the surrounding outline.
• Fake: Wings are too thin and the entire logo is positioned too low, causing it to touch the outline of its patch.

7. Swoosh

• Authentic: Logo is larger, less bulky, and sharper at the top; Nike Swoosh stitching is thin and deeply set.
• Fake: Logo appears too small, thick, and bulky; Nike Swoosh stitching is thicker due to being less deeply set.

8. Stitching

• Authentic: Stitching corners nearly touch the Swoosh, and threads appear thicker and bulkier.
• Fake: Stitching corners are positioned too high above the Swoosh, and threads appear too thin.

9. Toe box

• Authentic: Perforations on the toe box are wider and larger.
• Fake: Perforation holes appear too narrow and small.

10. Insole

• Authentic: “CO.JP” text on the insole is thick, well-defined, and displays high-quality materials.
• Fake: “CO.JP” text appears “scrapped,” too thin, and the insole fabric seems to wave through the text.

11. Rear patch

• Authentic: Patch where the two logos meet appears wider.
• Fake: Patch looks too narrow and smaller.

12. Exterior tongue

• Authentic: The “NIKE” and “AIR” inscriptions are thinner.
• Fake: Both “NIKE” and “AIR” inscriptions appear too thick.

13. Box label

• Authentic: The “EURO UK cm” text on the box label is thicker and more defined.
