How To Spot Fake Jordan 1 Off-White UNC

To authenticate Jordan 1 Off-White UNC you should start by checking the outer swoosh and check each detail well. Don't forget to analyze the tongue, laces, and heel counter well as you might encounter some of the most important differences here. You might find some vital flaws in the text, sizing tag, and zip tie. Even though packaging and box might seem a little weird to analyze, they might be saying a lot about the pair so do not skip these steps.

• The Size Tag Method

The Outer Swoosh Method

Let's take a look at the outsole and orange stitching on both pictures to compare real vs fake pair on the right shoe. As you can see, the original one is different from the one on the bottom picture, as an authentic one has an uneven line, getting thicker as it connects to the tip, while replica White Air Jordan 1 has a perfectly straight line, which might not look bad, but it only shows that the sneakers are unoriginal.

Now let's take a look at the midsole. The fake pair undoubtedly shows more of a texture, while the original one has a very fine surface. Even the word "AIR" is written differently on each of them, as the fake model has thicker letters, which appear larger on the midsole.

Few words on the Nike swoosh too: while the authentic swoosh seems to be secured with an orange stitching very firmly and finely, fake Off White Jordan 1 UNC has some major flaws, like the shape and the air bubbles between the top and the bottom layer of Nike swoosh.

My vintage Gucci bag didn’t have a serial number making it impossible for the average person to know if it was genuine. So happy for the outcome of my genuine handbag. Thanks again.

I was looking for a way to authenticate high quality vintage items and came across LegitGrails. So I sent them several items to authenticate and they were terrific. I had to send additional photos a few time but that gave me more confidence in them!

The Tongue Method

Now let's talk about the tongue. As you can see on the authentic pair there are three sections made by stitching; Let's start from the top to bottom: First, we have two lines of symmetrical and super-tight stitches, then the smaller section and the biggest part afterward.

Replica factories missed it, as the top lines of stitches are super uneven and asymmetrical, and the two sections are equal when the first one has to be smaller. Stitching is done very poorly.

The overall look of the original material is very nice, it has a very high-quality, look while the tongue on the fake White Air Jordan 1 UNC looks super cheap.
The iconic tag has been poorly replicated too.

The Air Jordan logo on the authentic pair has a very vibrant orange color to it and the letters look "carved out". By the time, the fake pair has a washed-out orange look, the letters are larger and flatter too.

The Laces Method

Let's take a look at the laces. On the authentic model, the word "SHOELACES" has a grainy look and the color is faded-out black.

On the fake model, the word has a pitch-black color and the letters seem to be shiny.

Even the shoelace tips have been replicated incorrectly, as the original one has much longer tips than it appears to be on the bottom picture.

The Heel Counter Method

The heel counter on the authentic pairs has a very straight white outline, with symmetrical and even stitching.

The left side of the heel counter has a creamy-white color and the right shoe is plain white. On the fake model, the white outline has been cut out very poorly, stitching is done asymmetrically and the color on the left side has a dirty white look, almost like it has been worn before.

The blue detail is deeply cut, closer to the white outline on the left picture, while on the unoriginal model this cut is closer to the white-collar.

The Toe Box Method

This has to be one of the easiest methods to legit check White Air Jordan 1 UNC.

We want you to notice how much of a difference there is between the material used in both of these sneakers.

The authentic model has much whiter, clean-looking material with larger holes, while the fake model has a dirty-looking white material, where you can easily notice lines on the toe box that do not appear on the original model.

Holes on the fake model are much smaller, almost hard to notice too.

The “85” Method

To compare Off White Jordan 1 UNC real vs fake, we have to take a look at velcro straps, where "85" appears.

On the authentic model, the number is pitch black which is very well shown on the pale blue background.

On the other hand, the number on the fake sneakers has a washed-out look on the dark blue background and they do not complement each other at all.

The Text Method

For White Air Jordan 1 UNC legit check, all you need to do is take a look at the text and you'll spot differences immediately.

On the authentic model, letters are thick, pitch-black, and grainy looking; There are white spots on the letters that give it kind of a vintage look.

By the time fake replicas have much thinner letters that take up much smaller space, the color seems to be washed-out and it does not have that old-style look that gives the original sneakers a much distinctive look.

The Size Tag Method

The tongue tag on the replica has been made almost flawlessly, but there still are some details that differentiate it from the original sneakers.

The authentic model logo is much smaller than the fake one and is perfectly in the middle, which the replica brand didn't copy well enough.

Also, the white outline has the same color as the tag on the top picture, which is not the same on the bottom photo, as the outline has a paler color than the tag itself.

The Zip Tie Method

Whenever you buy Air Jordan 1, it has a zip tie tag attached to it.

The original tag has smaller letters with a pale white color to it, while the fake model has a very accented white color and the letters are larger too.

The Packaging Method

Whenever you open up your box the first thing you see is the packaging.

First of all, to say a few words about the overall look, it is very noticeable how different the qualities of these two are.

The authentic packaging has a grey color while the fake one is all transparent.
This difference is super hard to miss.

The Box Label Method

The last method we are going to talk about is the box label method.
If you take a closer look, you'll see how the letters are larger on the replica box, which of course, takes much more place than it appears on the original box.

Apart from the sizing, coloring is different too. While each word is easy to read on the top picture, the fake label words have a washed-out color.

QR codes are much thicker on the bottom picture too.
Looking at the label will help you in your Off White Jordan 1 UNC legit check.
