Now that you know what are we talking about, let’s get you to the proper real vs fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA legit check guide.
As we’ve said previously, we consider this one of the best spots to mark on your real vs fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA checklist. We are now going to analyze the medial text on both the left and the right shoes, starting with the left shoe.
Let’s see the reference real vs fake Off-White Air Force 1 pictures in order to spot the mistakes on the fake Off-White AF1 MCA pair.
As you can see in the fake vs real Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pictures that we’ve linked above, the replica AF1 MCA pair has two main mistakes.
Starting with the “TM” text, you can notice how the fake AF1 MCA pair has this little text looking thicker than the authentic OW AF1 MCA. The same thing applies to the “Beaverton” and the “NIKE” text.
In fact, the legit Off-White Air Force 1 pair has the whole text thinner than the fake.
We’d say that this spot can be harder to look at in both real life and virtual pictures, but when legit checking the Off-White Air Force 1 MCA, we recommend you have our reference pictures next to the pair you are authenticating.
Now that you know how to check the left shoe medial text, let’s also learn how to check the right shoe medial text.
Once again, we’ve got a couple of flaws on the fake Off-White AF1 MCA pair. Counting them, we can notice five main problems on the fake pair.
Let’s start with the “USA” text. The same problem from the left shoe applies here too: the fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA product has this medial text looking too thick, but besides, we’ve got some more things to say, rather than just the thickness.
You can see in the real vs fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pictures above how on the fake right shoe, the letter “S” is too close to the letter “A” in the word “USA”.

Now that you know how to check the Off-White medial text on your Off-White Air Force 1 MCA, let’s get you to know how to check the fake vs real Off-White Air Force 1 MCA Swoosh logo too.
We will talk about two main things here, too. They are the Swoosh shape and Swoosh placement.
First of all, let’s talk about the form of the Nike Swoosh logo.

As you can see in the fake vs real Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pictures above, the fake pair has the tip of the Swoosh different.
By that, we mean that the counterfeit OW AF1 MCA pair has the tip on the top side of the Swoosh looking too curvy, round and at the same time, thicker than the legit one.
The legit Off White Air Force 1 MCA pair has the tip of its Swoosh looking a lot thinner and a lot sharper than the fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair.
Now, let’s also check how the fake vs real Off-White Air Force 1 MCA Swooshes are placed like.
As you can see, the Swoosh logo has some “sustaining” stitching that’s in and around it, and below, on this side of the shoe, there are two holes. Let’s look at the hole that’s placed on the right side of the shoe.
The legit Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair has its stitching really close to this hole, while the fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair has its stitching looking shorter and placed too far from this hole.
Because now you know how to check the medial text and the Swoosh on the Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair, let’s get you to know how to check the “AIR” text on the side of the shoes, which is an important factor of our real vs fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA comparison guide.
We have pointed out the fact that on the fake Off White Air Force 1 MCA pair, the “AIR” text is placed a little bit too high, while the legit Off White AF1 MCA pair has its “AIR” text lower than the fake.
As a matter of fact, this flaw often occurs on the fake Off-White Air Jordan 1 Chicago as well!
Now, let’s flip the sneakers to their rear side, and analyze the stitching and the “A I R” text that’s written on the back of the OW AF1 MCA.
Now, you can notice that we’ve used a lot of pointers for this step of our real vs fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA guide.
Starting with the stitching, you can notice how, the stitches on the side of the vertical tab, are too long on the fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair.
The authentic AF1 MCA pair has these stitches smaller in length than the fake stitches.
Besides, the lines on the middle site of that go in the left and the right parts of the Off-White AF1 MCA sneakers look too small and less detailed on the fake pair. In fact, the fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA side stitches are not visible at all.
Moving to the “A I R” text on the upper part of the rear heel side, you can notice how, on the fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair, it is not even visible at all.
The letter “I” is obviously less visible on the fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair, and the letter “R” is invisible, as you can’t notice it being anywhere, so it just turns out something like “A I” instead of “A I R”.
Going a bit above the “A I R” rear heel text, you can notice the white sponge on the top of the OW AF1 MCA sneakers. On the fake pair, it seems to be too long (visible from this angle), while on the legit Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair, it is smaller more subtle.
As for the fifth step of our real vs fake OW Air Force 1 legit check guide, let’s jump inside the sneakers for a bit and analyze the flaws on the replica pair.
First of all, on the replica Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair, the Off White “X” logo is too thick at its edges, while the authentic “X” logo goes sharper and smoother on the legit Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair.
Then, on the “NIKE” text with the Swoosh logo below, you can notice how the top tip of the Swoosh is too close to the letter “N”, and not only that but on the fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair, the Swoosh seems too angled and arched at the top tip of it.
Let’s move on to the side of the Off White Air Force 1 MCA sneakers and analyze the orange tab that’s sustaining on the Nike Swoosh logo.
It is really visible in the fake vs real Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pictures above, how on the fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair, the orange tab is too big in width and height, as the legit orange tab is shorter than the fake one.
Going again inside the Off-White Air Force 1 MCA sneakers, you’ll notice the size tag. Let’s see the reference real vs fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pictures:
Since this is a simple size tag, we’ve got one main flaw on the replica Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pair. Again, it is the thickness of the text.
The fake OW Air Force 1 MCA pair has the “MADE IN VIETNAM” text, and the one below, looking too thick, while the legit pair that indicates where the sneakers have been manufactured in, looks a lot thinner.
The same thing applies even to the text below the one that we just spoke about, and to be more precise, the “CI1173-400” text is too thick too, on the replica Off-White Air Force 1 pair, while this text is thinner on the legit pair.
As for the eighth and the last step of our real vs fake Off-White MCA Air Force 1 legit check guide, we’ve prepared the tongue tag.
Because this is a simple tongue tag, we’ve got just two main flaws on the fake Off-White Air Force 1 MCA tongue tag.
As you can see in the fake vs real Off-White Air Force 1 MCA pictures above, the counterfeit Off-White Air Force 1 MCA has the “OFF” text looking too thick, while the legit text is thinner.
Besides the “OFF” text, there is a lot of space between the Swoosh and the letter “A” in the word “AIR”. Of course, there is some space between these two elements on the legit pair too, but on the fake one, there is a lot more space in there.
