How to tell fake Jordan 1 Satin Black Toe

To spot fake Jordan 1 Satin Black Toe, start by examining the interior tongue label with multiple lines of text.

Fake shoes typically show differences in text compared to original Nike x Air Jordan sneakers.

1. Interior tongue

• Authentic:
  1. All letters are consistently positioned and properly aligned.
  2. Text font-weight is accurate, resulting in clear and well-defined letters.
  3. Each piece of text, including “TRADEMARKS”, “SWOOSH ®”, “MARQUES”, “GARANTIE”, and “QUALITE”, is correctly printed and well-defined.
• Fake:
  1. Letters are inconsistently positioned, with some appearing wavy, slanted, or misaligned.
  2. Text font-weight is off, making the letters look too thin or too thick in various places.
  3. Letters in words like “QUALITE” are improperly filled or printed, resulting in a less clear and defined appearance.
  4. Overall, the text on the fake shoes lacks the clarity and precision found on authentic pairs.

2. Hourglass shape

Authentic pattern: The shoes have a distinctive hourglass shape.

• Appearing curvier on the upper and bottom sides…
• While being narrower in the middle.

• Authentic:
  • Curvy appearance on the upper and bottom sides, with a narrow middle, creating a distinctive hourglass shape.
• Fake:
  • May have some curvature but lack the pronounced hourglass shape of authentic pairs…
  • With a silhouette significantly differing from that of legit shoes.

Closer look below:

• Authentic:
  • Exhibit a curved and narrow shape, evident from the drawn lines.
• Fake:
  • Lack the significant curvature and narrowness seen in authentic pairs, appearing less “bumpy” or curved.

A quick mention:

• The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
• The next few steps are still reliable methods…
• … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

3. Logo

• Authentic: Text is properly weighted.
• Fake: Text appears too thick and deeply set compared to the authentic version.

4. Wings

• Authentic: Wings are closely positioned with minimal distance between each.
• Fake: Wings are improperly placed with excessive distance between each.

5. Toe box

5.1. Perforations

• Authentic:
  • Perforations on the toe box are narrow and small.
• Fake:
  • Perforations are noticeably wider and bigger.

This flaw is commonly seen in fake pairs.

5.2. Shape

• Authentic: Toe box is appropriately sized, not appearing too thick or massive.
• Fake: Toe box often looks over-inflated, noticeably thicker and more massive than the authentic pairs.

6. Swoosh

6.1. Curve

• Authentic: Nike Swoosh logo has a distinctive and accurate curvature.
• Fake: Swoosh logo appears less curvy and its shape is not consistent with the authentic logo, especially at the top.

6.3. Placement

• Authentic:
  • Swoosh logo is placed lower on the side, closer to the midsole.
  • It is positioned at an appropriate distance from the top of the shoes.
• Fake:
  • Swoosh logo is positioned too high.
  • Excessive space between the logo and the midsole.

7. Stitching

• Authentic:
  • Stitching is positioned further away from the Swoosh and does not make contact with Nike’s logo.
• Fake:
  • Cross-stitching is placed too close to the Swoosh, making contact with the logo.

Short on time? Here’s a checklist

Below are the top 7 indicators to determine if your sneakers are genuine or fake:

1. Check the interior tongue label with multiple lines of text for properly positioned and font-weighted text.
2. Analyze the rear of the AJ1 Satin Black Toe; genuine pairs exhibit an hourglass shape.
3. Verify the lettering in the Air Jordan logo; fakes often have thin and wide letters.
4. Inspect the placement of the wings in the Air Jordan logo; replicas tend to have wings too close together.
5. Examine the toe box; counterfeit AJ1 Satin Black Toe sneakers may have wide perforation holes and an over-inflated appearance.
6. Check the Nike Swoosh logo; fake shoes may have a less curvy Swoosh placed too high.
7. Inspect the cross-stitching on the side; fake pairs commonly have stitching placed too close to the Nike Swoosh logo.”
