We’d like to mention that we consider Jumpman on the sides of the sneakers as the most reliable sign of a fake pair because it is most of the time the most flawed element of the Air Jordan 11 sneakers.
As for the first step of the fake vs real Air Jordan 11 sneakers legit check guide, we are going to inspect the Jumpman on the side of the shoes, because as we said previously:
We consider the Jumpman as one of the most reliable signs of a fake Air Jodan 11 pair.
As you can see in the fake vs real Jordan 11 image above, there are quite a few differences from the fake and real Air Jordan 11 Jumpman logo.
In fact, the counterfeit Jumpman’s head has the stitching connected to the one from the man’s body by the shoulder.
On the other hand, on the authentic Air Jordan 11 sneakers, the Jumpman’s stitching from the head isn’t connected to the body by the shoulder, as there is a gap between the two areas.
Then, you can observe how, on the fake Air Jordan 11 sneakers, the Jumpman’s upper arm (the left one) is looking thicker on the lower side of it and on the upper part (near the ball), it seems to be thinner.
On the other hand, the legit Air Jordan 11 sneakers have their left arm looking on the same thickness all over it.
Lastly here, on the left and right Jumpman’s shoelaces, you can see how the authentic sneakers have the stitching which makes the laces looking longer and more obvious than the stitching on the fake sneakers.
The fake Ai Jordan 11’s Jumpman shoelaces seem to be merged with the legs and the Jumpmman’s sneakers, which makes the laces less visible and eligible.

As for the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Air Jordan 11, we are going to inspect the text tab that’s placed behind the laces of the real and fake Air Jordan 11 sneakers.
First of all, let’s have a look at the fake vs real Air Jordan 11 sneakers images.
In the real vs fake Air Jordan 11 image above, we have pointed out how, on the fake Jordans, the text is different.
In fact, the counterfeit Air Jordan 11 sneakers have their print that’s placed behind the shoelaces coloured differently than the authentic ones.
In fact, the authentic Air Jordan 11 sneakers have their text coloured as white, while the fake Jordan 11’s are coloured blue instead, and that’s something that you’ll never see on an authentic Jordan 11 pair.

For the third step of the fake vs real Air Jordan 11 legit check guide, we are going to flip the Jordan 11 sneakers to the rear side and inspect the shape of these.
First things first, let’s have a look at the fake Air Jordan 11 and at the real pair.
It is visible in the fake vs real Air Jordan 11 image above how, on the fake Jordan 11 sneakers, the overall shape in the middle side of the sneakers is too fat and too massive.
On the other hand, the authentic Air Jordan 11 sneakers have their shape from the rear angle looking thinner and less fat than the shape of the replica Jordan 11 sneakers.
Then, you can see that we drew a green line on the authentic sneakers and another line for the fake Jordans.
The reason for these lines is to show you that the “U” shape on the rear side of the sneakers is looking a lot wider on the fake Jordan 11 sneakers, while on the authentic Jordans, this curve looks smaller and less wide than the one that’s on the fake Air Jordan 11 shoes.
As for the second step of the fake vs real Air Jordan 11 sneakers legit check guide, we will let you know how to spot the fake Jordan sneakers just by looking at the shape of the toe box area.
Basically, what we call “toe box” is the area in which your toes fit inside the sneakers. Most of the time, the fake toe box area on the Jordan 11 sneakers is either too big (over-inflated) or too small.
It is visible in the fake vs real Air Jordan 11 image above how, on the fake sneakers, the toe box area looks overinflated.
By overinflated, we mean that the fake Jordan XI sneakers usually have their toe box looking a lot curvier, more massive and arched than the authentic sneakers’ toe box, which is less arched and angled.
As for the fifth and the last step of the fake vs real Air Jordan 11 sneakers legit check guide, we are going to inspect the shininess of the real vs fake Air Jordan 11 sneakers.
In the fake vs real Air Jordan 11 image above, we have pointed out how, on the fake Air Jordan sneakers, the glossy material around the sneakers is shinier on the fake Air Jordan 11 than the one on the legit Air Jordan 11 pairs.
So, the shining of the glossy material on the side of the authentic Jordans is at a lower level than the shining of the material on the fake sneakers.
Moving on to the sixth step of the guide on how to spot fake Air Jordan 11s, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Air Jordan 11s for the interior tongue label.
In the image with the fake vs real Air Jordan 11s, we have pointed out how the tongue label of the fake AJ11s have their text looking too thick.
On the other hand, the authentic Air Jordan 11s have their text on the interior tongue label looking thinner than the one found on the fake label.
