Quick look at the legit and replica pair of the Bred 4 2019 Air Jordan. All I can say is WOW!! This is for educational purposes only. Follow on IG @jacob.marcellus
The reality is, if it's already worn on the feet moving nobody can tell the difference. It's a matter of pride that you're wearing the real ones or not.
Rich Tan i mean in a sense yeah i agree, but assuming you couldn’t get it at a retailer and you try to buy off someone, wouldn’t you want to spend your money knowing you’re getting the real thing? & even if that’s not the case, those $100 you spend on fake sneakers can go towards decent, legitimate sneakers from any retailer
R Tan....if wearing a shoe thats "real" vs "fake" brings you a sense of pride, you don't have your priorities in life in order. It's a fucking shoe bro! Instead of spending an insane amount of money on something that "only you" know the difference between....to make "yourself" feel better, try maybe being a better, less insecure douche. I hope everyone reading this realizes, despite how much Nike charges for "special editions" of the same shoe, the workers making them, get the same wage. Owning the real ones vs the fakes does not make you a better person, despite how much you tell yourself it does. If you think it does, your an elitists
@@andressalazar3038 it's a reproduction of a basketball shoe that was made in the 90's! Real, Fake, who gives a flying fuck? They look exactly the same! When it comes to technology, I'm buying the real BEATS headphones ....a VIZIO TV isn't a SAMSUNG.....it's evident......Shoes!.....who gives a shit? ??? You think people are gonna stop you on the street and pull out a magnifying glass? Real shit is for insecure ASSHOLES! 90 percent of people that buy name brand shit are POOR! ....the same dummies that are wearing $1000 in clothing, but go home to a shit hole rental.
Thats the thing..my gf got me black nike 90s from a shop in town and they cracking at the bubble. All my nikes never do that..i need to do some investigating.
D Truth Unauthorized. If ur potna cut ur hair at the house n not the shop, does that make ur haircut fake??? Same concept with $25 shoes all made in China
Damn bro the fakes then got wayyy better from when I was coming up. Fake jumpman used to look pregnant holding a pineapple. Now it's definitely almost hand in hand. I can tell if I really look hard but who checking that hard on the street lol. DS real, wear them fakes with pride😂.
@nellek970 exactly they say at least walk around yo house in them so they can get use 2 yo body weight so they won't crack just setting a shoe up for year's not wearing them is not good yeah you can sit a shoe up for years and not wear them but soon as you do they not use 2 yo body after a couple of wears they gone be fucked
I’m 40 years old and spent THOUSANDS on Jordan’s, over the years 🤦🏽♂️ I JUST copped some fake 4’s from the laundromat down the street from my house and I have NO shame. $65. 🤷🏿♂️
Damn, they say fake is the new REAL. Damn you just help ppl save some money!!!!! No more stressing about apps, lines or the release dates bc they look damn near real!!!!
Sometimes the fit and quality even better and you dont have to worry about them employees acting like they doing you a favor when you spending your money

Once u understand that a huge percentage of products are coming straight from the same factories, same patents, same material same workers you’ll understand this product shit is about grade n what plug u dealing with. U novices trip me out with this “fake” stuff lol
I will say this, they aren't necessarily fakes because they are made in the same factories with the same materials but they are unauthorized authentics (UA) so that's why they look so similar, if you really, really pay attention you can some very minor details that stick out just a bit with the shoe like the back suede line is a bit thicker on the real pair and the sole is just barely thicker as well but besides that theres no actual difference that stands out so thats just a little heads up, nothing's wrong with buying and rocking ua sneakers it's just the feeling of knowing that you have a real pair that sticks so heavily with the culture out there
I feel like the black paint on the midsole of the fakes are too perfect/smooth compared to a real one. But like you said, someone would really have to look and know what's what to tell the difference. Like how the E on the back heel is connected to the swoosh on the fake. Very minor.

@@lionsandtruth2483 Same concept? You're comparing a service (a haircut) to an item. I kinda get what you're saying though. But on the video it says fake, so I don't think it really matters calling it an unauthorized. Semantics at that point.
What Brandon Reid said. If you a collector, then you gotta get the reals, but I bought a pair of fake 3's way back in the day for like $75 and from afar, nobody said anything. In fact, people gave me compliments. They loved my true blues! I am going to lace them up, so why pay more. One thing that is tough to point out to the true sneaker head is the 'feel' of the shoes when your wearing them - fakes vs real. I noticed that the 3's felt different, but for the price, I was not complaining. Separately, I wore those fakes like my daily shoe and I was 'rough' with them cause they were fakes and I did not care. Let me tell you, they more than held their own for the dollar spent. Jacob made the right recommendation, if the difference is hairline stuff, nobody will tell the difference.
@@JacobMarcellus great review homie. Dude, any way you can try the fakes vs reals and see if there is a difference in feel? I sense that the cushioning may be different.
Douglas Lee it’s all around tight and yes I have wide feet and I’m flat footed. I use arch supports on all of my shoes and I couldn’t use them with this shoe which made it even worse . I have no issues with my authentic 4s
The thing is only get UAs of non hype beast shoes. If you get Off White or Fear of God, you're gonna get called out at school or at a convention. These Bred 4s are pretty much a GR. Plus these are pretty hard to mess up. Good vid bruh 👊
Man, I bought a pair from ebay for 260. He got me, if it wasnt for TH-cam I would be rocking fakes. They looked so real man lol. Sent them back for my money though. Box had the spinning circle a stock x tag, and looked identical to yours. I really couldn't tell until I paid attention lol.
This is prob the closest UA pair ive seen bruh..Nice vid! Some of the details are pretty minute to be honest but wow! 2 things tht stood out for me was the toungue and the hang tag other thn tht awesome comparison bro.Well done!🔥
But see the thing that makes it hard is regardless even if you get a pair from a retailer like finish line which is where I got mines ...or champs or foot action ...not every pair is gonna look perfect or flawless especially when your talking about a shoe that was produced as much as the bred 4 was...not every legit pair is gonna look the same or not have a small imperfection here or there ....
Look at the heel when he shows both shoes. There's a major difference. The like half inch space that's stitched in the middle of the heel is noticeablely small on the fake and about twice the size on the real. And not only that. Fake shoes feel fake. They may look real but you'd feel it soon as you put your foot in. Any sneaker head would be like yo hold up
It's actually the same specially for the untrained eyes or if you don't have a real one to compare to. Scary to buy at any reseller lately coz the fake are really getting good nowadays. sometimes fake looks more real than the real one.
I live in Australia mate and l had the best luck l’ve ever had with Jordan’s. I was waiting on Friday night 12:01am Saturday to purchase on footlocker on line. An hour before the drop l received a W from SNS saying l won there raffle and when 12:01am came l refreshed the page on footlocker but it took over 3 minutes to reload and by that time most sizes including mine was gone. So l went to sleep and woke up early to go to my local footlocker. There were 12 people lining up so l knew l had a chance to buy them. Anyway after everyone had lined up l stuck around and was able to get another 2 size 10s (my size) & a 9.5. So by this time l have 5 pairs, then when l got home l received a message from End clothing saying l won on there site as well. I wish every release was like this. One thing l’ve learned with the release of the concords 11, infared 6s and these bred 4s is that the bred 11s are going to be a tremendous release in December. My one regret on the bred release is that there were 2 size 12 & 13s behind the counter at footlocker but l left them there.
I just waisted $200, should have bought the fakes! Iv bought real Jordan from finish line, foot locker ect. and every other pair I see has a blemish. Iv learned Jordan brand/Nike doesn’t do the best quality control it’s said I’m still buying these hoe ass shoes. Even after sayin this I’m bout to buy sum 5s as we speak 🤦🏾♂️
I just spent an hour looking at your video and looking at bred reviews comparing🙄 I just bought a pair from offerup for $240 and got worried but one of the main things that I saw the mesh on the real ones wavy kind of, the stitching as well on the tongue(how it stands up/strong it is) the material how the black plastic shines if you put a light on it. Great video you gained a new subscriber👍
@Diplomacy Life lol pof was fuego when you just needed a quickie but I usually get from goat or straight from the store once in a while I check offerup and believe it or not you can get a really nice deal it is hit or miss you gotta know enough of a product before you buy it👌
Aye...bro, no one wears the box. The word “authentic” is a relative term now days. These shoes are all made in China, in the same factories, by the same people. Authentic may just mean you went through a known site (SNKRS app) or actually went to a authorized merchant like Footlocker. But, these “knock offs” nowadays are authentic, they may just be unauthorized. Great review tho!
the supposed "fake" one's are real there just factory imperfections or defects and are sold for less...it wouldnt shock me if the supposed "fake" one's out last the real ones
Great video! Where did you cop the fake ones? I can’t afford the real ones cause my ex-wife takes all my money on court order. I need to feel good about myself at a discount price. She took everything from me.
Good video bro I just wish you would have tried them on and told us the difference in how they feel and if you can do a review on the 4th with the gum bottom black shoes
@@JacobMarcellus imma subscribe to your channel especially because you responded back so quickly lol...how much were the fake ones!? And do you know where I can cop the black ones with the gum bottom!? If you don't want to promote a site like you said I get it... But if you have the money in the time cuz you do a review on those for me thanks bro I'm subscribing now!!
That's what some dude said at my local footlocker too that he couldn't get a pair...that does suck. No offense but that should be a perk to working a shitty job
The knock offs are getting better and better as the years keep passing by.. I bought a pair of the real ones with black and white gum light brown CI1184 001 and I put way better shoelace's on them . There the real deal but I'll tell u this I would buy the fakes too use them as a every day sneakers i don't care about money u pay for what u get but truth is that now sneakers that are fakes are just as good as the real deal and cheaper price if I didn't have the money I would buy them who cares who's going to stop u from walking and asking too see if there fakes .. now if u collect Jordans then ya I wouldn't buy fakes for shore ..anyway nice video thanks for showing fakes and the real side by side and u did great with not moving the camera so fast so we couldn't see them other then pausing the video thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼
The swoosh on the Nike Air meets the Nike at the bottom of the E on the real pair, and it meets where the K and E touch on the fake pair. Thats really the only difference that is a giveaway to me. The rest of the stuff could really just be explained away with Nike quality control.
teru puki thanks a lot I appreciate it. I can’t personally say where I got them from on TH-cam. I have a video where I did advertise a site. It’s my jordan winterized video. Check it out. That’s my only video in which I advertised a site. I won’t do it anymore.
Wow....Are they close. Trying to decide on a couple pairs on Ebay....I guess it's just luck without a receipt/paperwork etc. Fit? Curious How They compare on Fit/Feel? Hmmm. Man, it's like Toys (transformers/MP toys etc)...hard to tell
Dustin Allen nope never. And if I did I wouldn’t care. I can afford both pairs and that’s what I’ll usually do. If the shoe is close to the original I’d wear them to preserve my legit pair.
I have a question. Does the Nike shoe size sticker needs to be on the inside of the shoe? I have bought a pair of Jordan 4 retros from Nike for my wife she is a size 6 and I have notice that the Nike store in Maryland ran out of size 9 Jordan 4 reto shoes. I have bought the shoe from stockx for a Father's Day gift. As far as authenticity everything checks out fine such as the stitching, model number on the box, air Jordan name upside down on the tongue, shoes size and model number on the box. The only thing I have notice is that the shoe size sticker is not on the inside of the shoe. Does the fact the shoe size sticker on the inside of the shoe is not there prove that it's a fake?
What people need to understand is that with fakes you can get everything from the most cheap shit all the way to the fakes in this video. All I'm saying is, be careful!
I also saw my brothers pair from Nike (I also got some from SNKRS) and his on the white part on the sole had a red paint bubble that i flicked off and it left the little red circle and that’s from SNKRS so if the real ones have defects . Then I’m not surprised that fakes get an authentication pass i think someone’s mixing reals and fakes to make money off stockx they need to do a thorough investigation
Jacob Marcellus yooooooo they have two different production dates on my size tags noooooow I wanna know what they do about that ? Nothing ? It’s a fucked yo world if this is goin on
Oliver Rosario sorry can’t advertise the china sites on TH-cam . Plus I’m not sponsored by any of them so I won’t advertise for them anyway.I tried before and it didn’t work very well.
The new retros are just closer to later releases, the older og models from 89 and the the 10 year retro were just better quality. Nike lost a lot of quality when shoes were stopped being made in Korea about 25 years ago.
Yes that's when Jordans were made with top notch quality. In Korea and in Indonesia back. The Jordan 4 supposed to have the glossy netting not dull not now. The toe box is way off as well. The padding was much better back then also.
I mean the netting in general sides and tongue looks alot better then the real pair..really a disappointment but I'll really know once I get mine in the mail
Sorryimtruthful I’m not concerned about the shoe police lol. If grown adults are caught up in that we’ll shame on them. That’s childishness. The purpose of most of my videos is to know what your buying and making sure you don’t get scammed into buying fakes,reps,knock offs,UA,bootleg, or whatever people what to call them for 300 plus dollars.
Jacob Marcellus exactly! But it’s so funny reading the comments of people mad about rocking reps. If you can afford retail and you don’t mind the price? Then by all means, go ahead and be satisfied with your purchase.. just don’t get salty when someone else that’s unfortunate to buy a retail pair, gets the same experience at a cheaper price. I’m not knocking your content because you are showing the reality of both products and letting your viewers decide what is best for them. Please do a comparison of the “Cactus jacks” (if you were able to get a retail pair).
Sorryimtruthful I had the cactus jacks and I sold them because the quality sucked and I didn’t really like the shoe. The final version of the fakes were pretty good though.
The fakes are pretty good but i can clearly see the threading difference between both like the black screen on the side was horrible for the fake they couldn't recreate that part.And always look at the jumpman symbol its a dead give away.Other than that you wouldn't notice nothing.
That's what you think , looks are deceiving but when you start having a skin reaction on the bottom of your foot from the glue they're using then what , and when they go out of shape quicker than normal and start leaning they will look ridiculous.
@@jbeataman bra I got some fakes b4 and less than a month of me working in them, the damn soul and shit was coming off. Fake shoes are not durable. Just go to shoe carnival or buy some forces.
Jacob Marcellus aye my man, i just got a pair of True blue 3 from 2016 on the GOAT APP, i need ur i sight real quick if you dont mind. So you know how obviously every box has the sticker with the size, well im seeing alot of videos and pictures with the sticker being on the LID...... and others with the sticker on the box itself (where the cement area is) and being covered ALMOST half way by the lid...... im not sure if im clear but i can send pictures if needed, but im pretty sure i sound pretty straight forward. But yea i see some with the sticker on the LID and others on the BOX, BUT HERES THE THING, i MOSTLY see it with the sticker on the lid which is why it worries me a little bit. Should i worry? Are some pairs just like that and have the sticker on lid and some on the box? Why?
Both the shoes were laced up differently one was laced in the first hole at the top and the other one was laced in the middle at the top so one was tighter and one was looser
Unfortunately I have both. Don't buy from stock x. The biggest difference I could spot was the black on the midsole. The fakes are sprayed on and the real ones have a brush finish to it.
Got a pair of these thru Champs online, favorite Jordan ever - had the white ones in '89 when I was a kid because the black and red were nowhere to be found then too. Interesting to see the differences. I bought a fake pair back around 2004 online and they were clunky and obviously knockoffs. That new fake pair is soo similar. Did you notice a strong smell of fingernail polish when you opened up the real pair? Mine smell kinda strong. Figured maybe they didn't let them dry long enough to meet the release date lol
Key Atm got the fake from a china website . I Can’t advertise them on TH-cam. They’re close but not the same. The fakes are a bit smaller. They hurt my feet.
I've noticed it 2019 bred 4S to stitching right underneath the flight strap goes all the way back to the Nike Air the rest of them they don't do that on the replicas they stop but on the real they go all the way back
@@JacobMarcellus check it out this is real talk the one from 89 they didn't go all the way back to the pool tab either that's just the 2019 Jordan Bred 4S
Sorry for the bad camera angle. I didn’t know it was like that until I was done.
Jacob Marcellus where u get fake ones from? That’s crazy
Lawrence Demery one of the china sites I deal with.
@@JacobMarcellus wow man that's crazy almost dead on
Lawrence Demery yeah they’re scary close.
Hey I'm NEW here just SUBSCRIBED can i message you I have questions I can't find these on snkr app or UA can you help me out boss?

i agree hahaha.. that feeling and the fear you have when you rock them!
It's also a matter of money, if a store is charging you above retail for what turn out to be fakes.

TT 4 thanks bro I appreciate ya👊🏾
Jacob Marcellus Yessir anytime big bruh✊🏾👊🏾
Sheesh that’s crazy. Almost bought some foozys on eBay. Thx for the help bro!
Top Vids you’re very welcome!
Wow, so close.. these fakes are amazing. Thanks for the comparison man!
@kfyeshua of course, but these were unbelievable. I'd still never buy them but I wouldn't be able to tell the difference walking down the street
They retail material
It's actually the same specially for the untrained eyes or if you don't have a real one to compare to. Scary to buy at any reseller lately coz the fake are really getting good nowadays. sometimes fake looks more real than the real one.
I live in Australia mate and l had the best luck l’ve ever had with Jordan’s. I was waiting on Friday night 12:01am Saturday to purchase on footlocker on line. An hour before the drop l received a W from SNS saying l won there raffle and when 12:01am came l refreshed the page on footlocker but it took over 3 minutes to reload and by that time most sizes including mine was gone. So l went to sleep and woke up early to go to my local footlocker. There were 12 people lining up so l knew l had a chance to buy them. Anyway after everyone had lined up l stuck around and was able to get another 2 size 10s (my size) & a 9.5. So by this time l have 5 pairs, then when l got home l received a message from End clothing saying l won on there site as well. I wish every release was like this. One thing l’ve learned with the release of the concords 11, infared 6s and these bred 4s is that the bred 11s are going to be a tremendous release in December. My one regret on the bred release is that there were 2 size 12 & 13s behind the counter at footlocker but l left them there.
Paul77ozee🇦🇺 that bred 11 release is going to be nuts.
Jacob Marcellus it’s going to be very nuts mate but l think it will increase our chances of picking them up.
Paul77ozee🇦🇺 I definitely agree. Cheers
Got yourself a subscriber 💪💪
I just waisted $200, should have bought the fakes! Iv bought real Jordan from finish line, foot locker ect. and every other pair I see has a blemish. Iv learned Jordan brand/Nike doesn’t do the best quality control it’s said I’m still buying these hoe ass shoes. Even after sayin this I’m bout to buy sum 5s as we speak 🤦🏾♂️
jay M u good with the retail. Unfortunately the fakes hurt my feet. They’re a bit smaller than the retail pair. I have to break them in I guess.
I'm coppin them fakes who cares it's about saving money not status.
Same
idk if y’all saw it but the inner exterior where the netting is, is off and doesn’t line up past the wing
Saw that too but if you’re wearing them no one would notice cuz they would not compare with a picture of a real pair for that long you know
I just spent an hour looking at your video and looking at bred reviews comparing🙄 I just bought a pair from offerup for $240 and got worried but one of the main things that I saw the mesh on the real ones wavy kind of, the stitching as well on the tongue(how it stands up/strong it is) the material how the black plastic shines if you put a light on it. Great video you gained a new subscriber👍
Nica Barber thanks for subbing,and I’m glad you liked my video. Much appreciated 👍🏾
@Diplomacy Life lol pof was fuego when you just needed a quickie but I usually get from goat or straight from the store once in a while I check offerup and believe it or not you can get a really nice deal it is hit or miss you gotta know enough of a product before you buy it👌
I can’t tell the difference 🤣
Same
Aye...bro, no one wears the box. The word “authentic” is a relative term now days. These shoes are all made in China, in the same factories, by the same people. Authentic may just mean you went through a known site (SNKRS app) or actually went to a authorized merchant like Footlocker. But, these “knock offs” nowadays are authentic, they may just be unauthorized. Great review tho!
Benjamin Lemon but where to buy fakes at ?
People that understand sneakers will agree with you these young guys know nothing
@@tyrelldunn277 regardless it's all china maker licensed or ua now so its obvi of course but you csnt call it til you see it
the supposed "fake" one's are real there just factory imperfections or defects and are sold for less...it wouldnt shock me if the supposed "fake" one's out last the real ones
We need a 2024 version misses this 3x since 2012.
Great video! Where did you cop the fake ones? I can’t afford the real ones cause my ex-wife takes all my money on court order. I need to feel good about myself at a discount price. She took everything from me.
A lot of legit shoes stores sell the UA versions. It's very easy to do,
saiid parker I’m pretty sure they do. The sneaker game is sleazy.
Good video bro I just wish you would have tried them on and told us the difference in how they feel and if you can do a review on the 4th with the gum bottom black shoes
I had to break the fake ones in because they were a bit tight. I’m still wearing the fakes and my retail pair is still boxed in the closet.
@@JacobMarcellus imma subscribe to your channel especially because you responded back so quickly lol...how much were the fake ones!? And do you know where I can cop the black ones with the gum bottom!? If you don't want to promote a site like you said I get it... But if you have the money in the time cuz you do a review on those for me thanks bro I'm subscribing now!!
Once the shoe gets worn a little bit the Air Jordan tag on the back of the tongue wrinkles anyway none of these differences are going to matter
I work at footlocker and I couldn't even get me a pair 😑
Ryan Torres dang that sucks. Just be prepared for the restock. You know it’s gonna happen😉
Ryan Torres bro fr? My place here at Australia everyone that worked got a pair. There was only 4 including me that doubled up as well
@@Gojopeak we didnt get that much stock and my manger was being a bitch didnt let me hold a pair
That's what some dude said at my local footlocker too that he couldn't get a pair...that does suck. No offense but that should be a perk to working a shitty job
Thank you for doing this!!!
Justin Brown you’re very welcome.
The knock offs are getting better and better as the years keep passing by.. I bought a pair of the real ones with black and white gum light brown CI1184 001 and I put way better shoelace's on them . There the real deal but I'll tell u this I would buy the fakes too use them as a every day sneakers i don't care about money u pay for what u get but truth is that now sneakers that are fakes are just as good as the real deal and cheaper price if I didn't have the money I would buy them who cares who's going to stop u from walking and asking too see if there fakes .. now if u collect Jordans then ya I wouldn't buy fakes for shore ..anyway nice video thanks for showing fakes and the real side by side and u did great with not moving the camera so fast so we couldn't see them other then pausing the video thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼
james vaz thanks I appreciate it. The fakes are getting ridiculous.
The swoosh on the Nike Air meets the Nike at the bottom of the E on the real pair, and it meets where the K and E touch on the fake pair. Thats really the only difference that is a giveaway to me. The rest of the stuff could really just be explained away with Nike quality control.
Dude copped shoes for everyone
Fake pair should be completely off IMO
Kinda wanna cop a pair of these now where'd u get em? Solid vid btw
teru puki thanks a lot I appreciate it. I can’t personally say where I got them from on TH-cam. I have a video where I did advertise a site. It’s my jordan winterized video. Check it out. That’s my only video in which I advertised a site. I won’t do it anymore.
Jacob Marcellus ey thx a lot 4 the quick reply and the info ima go check it out now keep making that good content
teru puki thanks again 👍🏾
Wow....Are they close. Trying to decide on a couple pairs on Ebay....I guess it's just luck without a receipt/paperwork etc. Fit? Curious How They compare on Fit/Feel? Hmmm. Man, it's like Toys (transformers/MP toys etc)...hard to tell
Very hard to tell. Half of the shoes on eBay are fake
Bro I bought pair from stadium Goods and I feel like they sold me 1 real and 1 fake one feels comfortable and one Feels uncomfortable as hell Wtf
Alex Mitchell I’ve been hearing a lot of that lately. And yes the fakes are not comfy when you first put them on. They actually have to be broken in.
Damn! those fake bred 4 look fire!!!!
Damn str8
Y'all trippin
So i'm going to cop the Authentics but trying to get a close replica for daily use. where did you get yours
Hit me up on my Instagram
Look at the bottom of the “K” & how it’s connected to the “E” on the nike heel tabs. That’s how I can tell the difference between both.
Also if the shoe is DS, the size shouldn’t be on the insoles. It should just have the “Nike”
Damn that’s scary
I'd rock the fake joints and keep my real ones put up. 💯
That’s what I’m doing. My retail pair is in the closet.
@@JacobMarcellus you ever get called out?
Dustin Allen nope never. And if I did I wouldn’t care. I can afford both pairs and that’s what I’ll usually do. If the shoe is close to the original I’d wear them to preserve my legit pair.
I have a question. Does the Nike shoe size sticker needs to be on the inside of the shoe? I have bought a pair of Jordan 4 retros from Nike for my wife she is a size 6 and I have notice that the Nike store in Maryland ran out of size 9 Jordan 4 reto shoes. I have bought the shoe from stockx for a Father's Day gift. As far as authenticity everything checks out fine such as the stitching, model number on the box, air Jordan name upside down on the tongue, shoes size and model number on the box. The only thing I have notice is that the shoe size sticker is not on the inside of the shoe. Does the fact the shoe size sticker on the inside of the shoe is not there prove that it's a fake?
Tito Cotto no I don’t think so. I think you’re fine. Those stickers come off pretty easy.
My 4s were purchased from Nike and the metal ring spins on the best. I also have some where it doesn't *shrug*
Same here wtf..
No wonder everyone selling these new for under retail
Those are the best mf knockoffs I've ever seen.
Matthew Daniels yup they’re pretty good.
The sole is cheaper on the fake ones
Great review... Are the fakes UA version?
Alex Kimbrell no it’s just a a really good fake. This was the final version from the factory . Thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated
Jacob Marcellus yes sirrrr! How much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking?
Alex Kimbrell sorry I can’t give up my direct source or prices but, it’s around the normal price range for a fake shoe.
Those reps are fire bro. You can get that kind of quality rep on dhgate. But you absolutely got to do that research.
Wonder if the feel on foot is the same cuzzz damn they look the same lol
They’re a bit smaller . I had to break them in.
Jacob Marcellus fakes getting good now a days lol gotta watch out
TheSoulmates no doubt! They’re getting really good.
What people need to understand is that with fakes you can get everything from the most cheap shit all the way to the fakes in this video. All I'm saying is, be careful!
YOU GOT YOUR VIEWS UP SON... LOVE IT! GOOD LOOKS!
Jim Murray thanks bro,I finally got another banger. I appreciate the support on the real.✊🏾
@@JacobMarcellus You gonna go HAM tomorrow morning my brother! Those cj1's are it CHIEF! That's the grail!!!!
Jim Murray definitely going for it! If I get them you know it’s on.
@@JacobMarcellus Amen bro bro... copped on the birthday drop. Looking to go 10-deep on 5/11. Peace my G!
Jim Murray peace out homie 👍🏾
The fake don’t have brush strokes on the black paint. They looked sprayed finished
I could neva walk with my head up in fakes
its all 100% the same material! All made from the same exact factory! BE SMART!
I could cause that 400 💵300 💵 200 💵 price for a 14 💵 👟 is crazy i dont gf who name on it
I prolmise u I feel like stockx sent me ONE REAL one FAKE . Literally no one sees it but me
And this is a fucking. Problem with me!!
I also saw my brothers pair from Nike (I also got some from SNKRS) and his on the white part on the sole had a red paint bubble that i flicked off and it left the little red circle and that’s from SNKRS so if the real ones have defects . Then I’m not surprised that fakes get an authentication pass i think someone’s mixing reals and fakes to make money off stockx they need to do a thorough investigation
Captain Break yo Bitch I agree with you 💯 it’s all about $$$
Jacob Marcellus yooooooo they have two different production dates on my size tags noooooow I wanna know what they do about that ? Nothing ? It’s a fucked yo world if this is goin on
I got mine from stock x today and the box lettering is not correct..JORDAN .COM THE "A" IN THE MIDDLE IS SOLD GOLD! DONT LOOK LIKE AN "A"
scary how good they are at making fake replicas look real
They step it up they went to the same manufacture or went the same person that sell the fabric.
where the fakes come from?
Oliver Rosario sorry can’t advertise the china sites on TH-cam . Plus I’m not sponsored by any of them so I won’t advertise for them anyway.I tried before and it didn’t work very well.
Jacob Marcellus send it to me in a email
Could you please send me an Email. I would appreciate it. Please.
@@JacobMarcellus I want to know so I don't buy a fake.
Ghost any site that ends in .cn .ru or .me is a fake shoe site. That’s all the info I can give.
Easy for people who won raffles I copped 2 pair
dkcrook5 that’s what I did,and I got them on the SNKRS app too.
I copped two pairs as well... 💪🏾💯🔥
I got mines from footlocker fuck the bullshit 😂😂😂
The new retros are just closer to later releases, the older og models from 89 and the the 10 year retro were just better quality. Nike lost a lot of quality when shoes were stopped being made in Korea about 25 years ago.
Yes that's when Jordans were made with top notch quality. In Korea and in Indonesia back. The Jordan 4 supposed to have the glossy netting not dull not now. The toe box is way off as well. The padding was much better back then also.
this blows my mind they were this good 3 years ago i wonder what its like now
Yeah fr
I shoulda got the fakes 😂😂😂
You can have a try dude. I just bought one, so fuxxxking amzing
lee Denise what’s the site girl
Side netting looks way more clean on the fakes then the real pair smh🤦♂️
n0rthwheat0n other people are commenting the opposite. It’s funny how we view things differently.
I mean the netting in general sides and tongue looks alot better then the real pair..really a disappointment but I'll really know once I get mine in the mail
n0rthwheat0n I completely understand what your saying. I’m just saying that people in the comment section are saying the opposite that’s all.
Besides the red being alittle off I think the fakes looks like a better shoe..nice comparison video 💯
n0rthwheat0n thanks again. BTW the fakes hurt the hell out of my feet.
So... my question is that will the “shoe police 👟👮♂️” be able to spot you rocking reps? 😂
Sorryimtruthful I’m not concerned about the shoe police lol. If grown adults are caught up in that we’ll shame on them. That’s childishness. The purpose of most of my videos is to know what your buying and making sure you don’t get scammed into buying fakes,reps,knock offs,UA,bootleg, or whatever people what to call them for 300 plus dollars.
Jacob Marcellus exactly! But it’s so funny reading the comments of people mad about rocking reps.
If you can afford retail and you don’t mind the price? Then by all means, go ahead and be satisfied with your purchase.. just don’t get salty when someone else that’s unfortunate to buy a retail pair, gets the same experience at a cheaper price.
I’m not knocking your content because you are showing the reality of both products and letting your viewers decide what is best for them.
Please do a comparison of the “Cactus jacks” (if you were able to get a retail pair).
Sorryimtruthful I totally agree.👍🏾
Sorryimtruthful I had the cactus jacks and I sold them because the quality sucked and I didn’t really like the shoe. The final version of the fakes were pretty good though.
Sorryimtruthful are you talking about the 1s or 4s? I’m talking about the 4s. I didn’t try for the 1s yet.
The fakes are pretty good but i can clearly see the threading difference between both like the black screen on the side was horrible for the fake they couldn't recreate that part.And always look at the jumpman symbol its a dead give away.Other than that you wouldn't notice nothing.
Calvin Pennix I agree. But trust me there’s a lot more flaws after I really took good look at them.
Yea I give you two weeks and the sole will be flopping off....
tick man lol they’re made a whole lot better than that.
That's what you think , looks are deceiving but when you start having a skin reaction on the bottom of your foot from the glue they're using then what , and when they go out of shape quicker than normal and start leaning they will look ridiculous.
It’s the same shoe lol y’all don’t wanna accept it
@@jbeataman bra I got some fakes b4 and less than a month of me working in them, the damn soul and shit was coming off. Fake shoes are not durable. Just go to shoe carnival or buy some forces.
@@jbeataman how can it be the same shoe when there so many differences in how it's made. Tell me that.
Absolutely do not buy fakes. If you can't get the real ones by any means necessary, then they weren't made for you
they are the same material! please don't be fooled!
So you get your shoes from Payless and Walmart? They legit.
That toe box is wicked
The little circle the spins on the box, is that like a 100% give away or is there some boxes that spin and are authentic
On this one it’s pretty much a dead giveaway but some guys like to switch out boxes .
Jacob Marcellus aye my man, i just got a pair of True blue 3 from 2016 on the GOAT APP, i need ur i sight real quick if you dont mind. So you know how obviously every box has the sticker with the size, well im seeing alot of videos and pictures with the sticker being on the LID...... and others with the sticker on the box itself (where the cement area is) and being covered ALMOST half way by the lid...... im not sure if im clear but i can send pictures if needed, but im pretty sure i sound pretty straight forward. But yea i see some with the sticker on the LID and others on the BOX, BUT HERES THE THING, i MOSTLY see it with the sticker on the lid which is why it worries me a little bit. Should i worry? Are some pairs just like that and have the sticker on lid and some on the box? Why?
Jacob Marcellus TRUE BLUE 3 OG 2016
Tbh the only way some one could actually tell if they we’re fake is if they got close to them and fully inspected them
The H12 is pretty much the exact same material but not sanctioned by Nike. That’s it.
Both the shoes were laced up differently one was laced in the first hole at the top and the other one was laced in the middle at the top so one was tighter and one was looser
Evolutionbandit1 the fake ones were made a bit smaller. They’re really tight on my feet compared to the retail pair.
Unfortunately I have both. Don't buy from stock x. The biggest difference I could spot was the black on the midsole. The fakes are sprayed on and the real ones have a brush finish to it.
Alreday had a try, just same as the video shows, so identical.
Got a pair of these thru Champs online, favorite Jordan ever - had the white ones in '89 when I was a kid because the black and red were nowhere to be found then too. Interesting to see the differences. I bought a fake pair back around 2004 online and they were clunky and obviously knockoffs. That new fake pair is soo similar. Did you notice a strong smell of fingernail polish when you opened up the real pair? Mine smell kinda strong. Figured maybe they didn't let them dry long enough to meet the release date lol
Ryan M actually both pairs smelled like a normal new show surprisingly. The new fakes are definitely improving.
Good stuff Jacob!
Thanks
Same damn shoe made with the same material. I just spent 220 on the bred. Where did you buy the fake?
Key Atm got the fake from a china website . I Can’t advertise them on TH-cam. They’re close but not the same. The fakes are a bit smaller. They hurt my feet.
@@JacobMarcellus Ok
Thanks soo much for the vid 🥂
You’re welcome
The fact that you had to keep reminding us which ones fake shows there is absolutely no difference
Ahmad Awad trust me there’s a huge difference up close and when you wear them.
Everything checked out on mines except that the black plastic hole on the box rotates.
nice vid bro !! , can you do jordan 4 retro mushroom fake vs real ? please
Hey bro i got a Question i been buying expensive Jordan s as of late do they make fakes in size 16. Yes i have big feet lol
Quesan Abrams unfortunately they haven’t . 14 was the highest I’ve seen
Some these counterfeiters are like artist these day
Do the real pair smell like acrylic? Cause I cop my pair at shoe Palace and my pair smells like that
No,not even the fakes smelled like that.
I've noticed it 2019 bred 4S to stitching right underneath the flight strap goes all the way back to the Nike Air the rest of them they don't do that on the replicas they stop but on the real they go all the way back
You’re absolutely correct bro.👍🏾
@@JacobMarcellus check it out this is real talk the one from 89 they didn't go all the way back to the pool tab either that's just the 2019 Jordan Bred 4S
I agreeing with you. I have the fake cool grey 4s coming in today or tomorrow. I’ll see if it’s the same.
Did your real ones have the QC sticker in the box? I’m confident mine are real but... I dunno man lol I might’ve been had on stockx.
Kenny L. No QC sticker in the legit box.
