Last Updated on May 3, 2024 by Ch David

How to tell if Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low are fake

You can tell if Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Low are fake if the label inside the tongue has crooked, wavy letters. Authentic pairs always have straight inscriptions, while fakes never do so.

1. Interior tongue label

Authentic:

1. The “SWOOSH” text is appropriately bolded, maintaining a consistent thickness.
2. The “SWOOSH” print aligns consistently along the horizontal axis, without waviness.
3. Proper spacing is maintained between “SWOOSH” and the registered trademark symbol “®”.
4. The “®” character maintains a standard thickness, not overly thickened.
5. The second “SWOOSH ®” above “MADE IN CHINA” maintains a consistent thickness and alignment.

Fake:

1. The fake “SWOOSH” text appears overly bolded, resulting in excessive thickness.
2. The fake “SWOOSH” print lacks consistent alignment along the horizontal axis, causing waviness.
3. Improper spacing is observed between “SWOOSH” and “®”, with no clear separation.
4. The fake “®” character is excessively thickened, deviating from the standard thickness.
5. The second “SWOOSH ®” above “MADE IN CHINA” suffers from the same issue of excessive thickness.
6. The second “®” character is misaligned and appears more like a “B” instead of an “R”.

2. Suede effect

When drawing a line with your finger on the suede of an authentic pair, there should be traces and marks left where your finger has been.

Therefore, the material on the authentic sneakers is supposed to get darker where it was touched.

Authentic:

1. The suede effect on the authentic Travis Scott AJ1s is nuanced, with dark traces where the suede was touched.
2. The suede appears darker and richer, indicating higher quality material.
3. The suede effect is concentrated, enhancing the overall appearance of the shoe.

Fake:

1. While the fake shoes attempt to mimic the suede effect, it lacks nuance and depth.
2. There are no dark traces on the fake pair where the suede was touched, resulting in a less realistic appearance.
3. The brown suede on the fake pair is lighter in comparison to the authentic shoes.
4. The quality of the suede on the fake shoes is inferior, lacking the richness and depth of the authentic material.

3. Toe box

Authentic:

1. The authentic toe box laces neatly around the sole of the sneaker.
2. It maintains a proportional size in relation to the rest of the shoe.

Fake:

1. The fake toe box protrudes excessively into the body of the sneaker, deviating from the authentic design.
2. It appears inflated and oversized compared to the authentic toe box.
3. The fake toe box lacks the sleek and streamlined look of the authentic version.

Notice how the authentic toe box has a smaller, less-inflated look than the fake.

4. Rear logos

On an authentic pair of Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low:

• The left shoe has the Cactus Jack logo.
• The right shoe has the Air Jordan logo.

Authentic:

1. The Cactus Jack face on the authentic pair features a subtle texture with fewer red stitches.
2. The stitches on the authentic Cactus Jack face are thinner compared to the replica pair.
3. The “R” in the word “AIR” maintains a standard thickness on the authentic pair.
4. The “O” in the word “JORDAN” is proportionate in size on the authentic pair.

Replica:

1. The fake Cactus Jack face is overly textured with an excess of red stitches, deviating from the authentic design.
2. The stitches on the replica Cactus Jack face are thicker, lacking the finer detail of the authentic pair.
3. The “R” in the word “AIR” appears too skinny, thinner than the authentic version.
4. Conversely, the “O” in the word “JORDAN” is oversized on the fake pair, not matching the proportions of the authentic design.

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.

5. Side logos

5.1. The left pair – best quality replica

Authentic:

1. The top right line above the Cactus Jack text logo aligns closely with the line of stitching crossing all over the sneakers on the authentic pair.

Fake:

1. The top right line above the Cactus Jack text logo is positioned significantly further from the line of stitching on the fake pair.
2. The “K” on the fake pair is placed too high, making it more visible than on the authentic shoes.
3. The “U” on the fake shoes is thinner compared to the authentic version.

On the legit pair, this line is placed a lot closer to this line, as it even touches the stitching line.

5.2. The right pair – best quality replica

Authentic:

1. The red line on the left side of the sneakers is positioned close to the stitching that crosses the sneakers on the authentic Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low.
2. The red line on the authentic pair touches the stitching line, as it should.
3. The letter “C” in the word “Cactus” is placed slightly lower than the stitching line on the authentic shoes.

Fake:

1. The fake red line on the left side of the sneakers is placed too far away from the stitching that crosses the sneakers, deviating from the authentic design.
2. The fake red line does not touch the stitching line, unlike the authentic pair.
3. The letter “C” in the word “Cactus” is placed too close to the stitching line on the fake shoes, differing from the authentic placement.

5.3. The left pair – low quality replica:

Authentic:

1. The lines drawn around the letter “C” are spaced further apart on the original pair.
2. The stitches around the Cactus Jack Side Logo on the left pair maintain a proper distance from the lines around the letter “C.”

Fake:

1. The lines around the letter “C” are too close on the fake pair.
2. On the fake shoe, the line around “C” from the right is too close to the stitches compared to the original.

5.4. The right pair – low quality replica:

Authentic:

1. The line from the left of the letter “C” is drawn below the stitching on the authentic AJ1 TS.
2. The letter “A” on the authentic pair is positioned above the Swoosh, as it should be.
3. Similarly, the letter “U” is slightly visible above the Swoosh on the authentic pair.

Fake:

1. On the fake Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott, the line from the left of the letter “C” is slightly above the stitching.
2. The letter “A” on the fake sneakers is placed too low, falling below the Swoosh.
3. Likewise, the letter “U” is positioned too low on the fake pair, not slightly visible above the Swoosh as it should be.

6. Reverse Swoosh

Authentic:

1. The tip of the Swoosh on the authentic sneakers is more arched.
2. The Swoosh line on the authentic pair is straighter, without any noticeable crookedness.
3. The part of the Swoosh that connects with the sole features a sharp curvature.

Fake:

1. The tip of the Swoosh on the fake sneakers is less arched than the authentic pair.
2. There is a noticeable crooked Swoosh line on the fake pair, especially visible on the left side.
3. The part of the Swoosh connecting with the sole lacks a sharp curvature, appearing thicker and less defined.

The real sneakers take a sharp curvature at this point, unlike the counterfeit which is less sharped – in a nutshell, the fake Travis Scott Top Low has a fatter curve on the bottom side of the Reverse Swoosh sign.

7. Size tag

Authentic:

1. On the authentic size tag, the “XC” text is appropriately sized and proportioned.
2. The “C” character in the “XC” text maintains a standard thickness on the authentic pair.
3. The “XC” text is positioned at an appropriate distance from the edge of the black bar below it on the authentic size tag.

Fake:

1. The “XC” text on the fake size tag is too thick, deviating from the authentic design.
2. The “C” character in the “XC” text is particularly thick on the fake pair, making the flaw more noticeable.
3. The “XC” text is placed closer to the edge of the black bar on the fake size tag, unlike the authentic pair.
4. This flaw may not be immediately noticeable but becomes apparent upon closer inspection.

Interestingly, such size tag flaws apply to the Fragment Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low as well.

8. Insole

8.1. Left shoe – Jumpman logo

On the left shoe is a Jumpman Logo. Inspecting this logo properly, you would notice that the fingers of the Jumpman on the counterfeit shoe are tiny, smaller than those of the real one.

• The fake pair’s fingers are less visible to the sight you can’t see them correctly, even after straining your eye.
• The fake Jumpman’s fingers are too thin.

8.2. Right shoe – Travis Scott logo

• The text is thicker on the fakes.
• Aside from that, there is a varying amount of spacing between the letters.

9. Sole

• On the fake shoe, you would find out that the stars inscribed on the sole is extensively more detailed than that of the retail Air Jordan 1 Travis Scott Low-Top pair.
  • More noticeable on the stars found at the edge of the fake Air Jordan 1 Travis Scott pair.

10. Nike tongue label

• The logo on the fake tag (check pictures for ease of reference) has a different pattern of stitching.
• This, therefore, causes it to appear more noticeable than on that of the authentic pairs of the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1.

11. Cactus Jack tongue label

This label is located at the front of the shoe. Just beside the Nike Logo that was illustrated too in the last step.

• The three lines drawn just above the letter “C” of the Cactus can be seen to be closer to the fake shoe than to the real.
• The replica Air Jordan 1 Travis Scott Low pair has fewer stitches, which makes it look smaller.

12. Pink paper (inside the box)

The final flaw to be used for our fake vs real comparison is the packaging bag of the Travis Scott Low Top Sneakers.

• The plastic bag that packages the fake shoe appears to be less shiny than the retail one.

Although, when inspected well, you would see for yourself the difference that was illustrated just before this paragraph, this method of comparison isn’t very effective.

All thanks to the flexible change the plastic bag can undergo without much ado. Also, this flaw isn’t too quick to notice, except for people with an owl eye.

Or perhaps, you have been on the lookout for it, having learned about it from us.

Shortlist: Legit Check Travis Scott 1 Low in 30 seconds

Albeit, find just below, the five easy steps to know the real vs fake Travis Scott Low Top in only 30 Seconds:

1. Firstly, look out for inconsistencies on the bold tag. Say wavy SWOOSH texts and weird spaces between the SWOOSH text and the ® character.
2. Check the quality of the suede material on the side of your shoes. Mostly, the suede effect is not visible on the fake shoes, as the fake shoes’ suede material mostly doesn’t get darker after rubbing it.
3. Secondly, check the Toe Box; the fake would be more curved at the sole than that of the real, and also you would find the toe box more inflated relative to the degree of the authentic shoe.
4. Further, Inspect the Cactus Jack & Air Jordan logos on the back heel; the stitching on this side of the fake shoe is denser than that of the authentic one.
   And also, the letter “R” in the word “AIR” is skinnier on the fake shoe than on the authentic one.
5. Also, Inspect the Cactus Jack Side Logos; you would notice that the three lines drawn just above the letter “C” on the counterfeit, are closer than how it is on the authentic – that is on the left shoe.
   While on the right leg, alongside the flaws on the left shoe, you would also notice that the “C” of the CACTUS text on the authentic is found below the neighbouring stitching.
   While on the fake shoe, it is protruding slightly above the stitching.
6. Finally, make sure you check the insole.
   You should do this in order to be sure about your claims; on the fake, the fingers of the Jumpman inscribed on the insole of the shoe are faintly visible, unlike in the original where you can see all of the fingers.
   Also, on the right shoe, the texts on the insole are bolder than usual.
