Jordan 8 Fake Vs Real: How To Spot Fakes (2024)

Last Updated on January 10, 2024 by Ch David

Welcome to the ultimate Jordan 8 authenticity check guide.

This guide helps you spot any fake Jordan 8: all colorways and release dates.

How to tell if your Jordan 8 is fake

To tell if your Jordan 8 is fake, check the size tag inside the tongue. Fake pairs always have the wrong thickness for their text.

All authentic pairs have a constant font-weight.

1. Size tag

• Authentic: The product ID number on the size tag is appropriately thick, as are the “MADE IN CHINA” and “FABRIQUE EN CHINE” text.
• Fake: The product ID number on the size tag appears too thin. The “MADE IN CHINA” and “FABRIQUE EN CHINE” text are also noticeably thinner compared to authentic pairs.

2. Tongue

• Authentic: Neat wool on tongue; well-constructed Jumpman logo.
• Fake: Protruding wool; thin Jumpman with loose threads.

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. Stitching

• Authentic: Thick, defined double-stitching on the side.
• Fake: Thin, less distinct stitching.

4. Toe box

How can I spot fake Air Jordan 3 in 60 seconds?

1. Inspect the Size Tag: Many replica Air Jordan 8s often feature text that’s too thick on their size tag.
2. Examine the Jumpman Stitching on the Tongue: On counterfeit pairs, the Jumpman is typically stitched too thinly, while the surrounding wool appears excessively thick and protruding.
3. Assess the Side Stitching: Replica AJ8 sneakers frequently have side stitching that’s too thin.
4. Observe the Toe Box: Fake AJ8 pairs tend to have an overly curvy toe box.
