How to tell if Jordan 1 Dior Low are fake

To tell if Jordan 1 Dior Low are fake, focus on the interior tongue label with multiple lines of text. Fakes typically have flawed text.

1. Interior tongue

Authentic:

2. The “GUARANTEE” text on authentic pairs is consistent, with all letters at the same level.
3. The “NIKE” text on authentic sneakers is clearly visible and readable.
4. The “VOTRE” text on genuine pairs is thicker and easily readable.
5. The “QUALITY” text on authentic sneakers is not wavy, and letters are properly positioned.
6. Authentic Dior Air Jordan 1 Low pairs should have an “MADE IN ITALY” inscription, as they were only manufactured in Italy.

Fake:

1. The lines of text on the interior tongue label of fake Dior Air Jordan 1 Low sneakers are too thin and small.
2. The “GUARANTEE” text on fake pairs may have waving letters.
3. The “NIKE” text on fake sneakers is almost invisible.
4. The “VOTRE” text on fake pairs is too thin and barely visible.
5. The “QUALITY” text on fake sneakers may have waving letters.
6. Fake Dior Air Jordan 1 Low pairs often state “MADE IN CHINA” on the interior tongue label, which is incorrect for authentic pairs.
