Real vs Fake Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low Medium Olive
Última actualización:
Last updated: November 2026
Travis Scott Medium Olive real vs fake: start with the style code, because two olive Travis Scott Jordan 1 Lows exist and they are easy to mix up. Then check the inside tongue label, the size tag, the reverse Swoosh, the heel logos, the perforations, the outer tongue label, the toe box and the box label, each against a genuine Medium Olive.
The Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low is one of Jordan Brand's most counterfeited collaborations. High-tier fakes of the olive Travis Scott Lows have been reported mixed in with retail pairs. The checks below are the ones that still separate them in our comparison photos.

[ open ]Medium Olive or Women's Olive?
Travis Scott has released two olive Jordan 1 Low OG SPs, and many listings and guides confuse them. The style code on the size tag and the box label tells you which one you have.
| Pair | Style code | Release |
|---|---|---|
| Medium Olive | DM7866-200 | 28 September 2024 on SNKRS at $150, in men's sizes, with kids' sizes alongside |
| Women's Olive (sail, black and olive) | DZ4137-106 | 26 April 2023 at $150, women's sizes only |
This guide covers the Medium Olive, DM7866-200. If your tag reads DZ4137-106, you have the women's Olive, so compare it with genuine photos of that pair instead. For the other colorways, start with our Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low guide.
Check the Interior Tongue Label for Font & Stitching Accuracy
Inside the tongue is a woven label with Nike's trademark text in English and French, ending in "MADE IN CHINA / FABRIQUE EN CHINE" on the pair in our photo. Read it line by line. On the genuine pair we compared, the letters are sharp and solid, especially in "NIKE NAME" and "VOTRE". On the fake, several characters are thinner and less even. Some fakes get the weight right, so judge the letter shapes and spacing too, and always compare with a genuine Medium Olive.
Check how the label is sewn in as well. Uneven stitching, fuzzy text or a label that sits crooked are strong signs of a fake.
While you are inside the shoe, look at the Cactus Jack print on the lining. It often looks different on fakes, but the difference runs in different directions from one fake batch to the next, so compare it only with a genuine Medium Olive.
Verify the Size Tag for Correct Fonts & Placement
The size tag sewn inside the tongue or collar is the busiest label on a pair of Jordans. It shows the size in several systems, the country of manufacture, the style code, a UPC barcode, a short factory code and two dates. Nike has never said what the two dates mean. They are often read as the production window, but that is not confirmed, so treat them only as a rough check that they suit the release. Tags printed from around 2019 often add a QR code, and many genuine older tags have a barcode only. Counterfeiters copy genuine tags field by field, so a tag that agrees with itself shows the label is consistent, not that the shoes are real.
Our photo shows exactly that. The genuine and the fake tag both read DM7866-200, both carry the factory code XB and the same UPC, both say Made in China, both have 2024 dates before the September 2024 release and both have a QR code. None of those fields separates them.
On the genuine Jordan tags we read, both dates fell before the pair's release, the later one by two to five months. Dates that start after the release are a question for the seller, because restocked pairs can carry later dates. Fakes copy the dates of genuine tags too, as the fake here does, so dates that fit the release prove nothing alone.
The print does. On the pair we compared, the fake prints the style code, including the "200" and the dash, and the "EUR" and "BR" lines on the left with heavier strokes than the genuine tag. Compare those lines with a genuine Medium Olive tag, and check that the size on the tag matches the size on the box label.
Two details help here. The qr.nike.com page opens the same way for any code in the right format, even one that was never printed on a shoe, so a scan that works says nothing about the pair. And the 13-character code beside the QR uses digits and letters but never the letters I, L, O or U. Nike's own server rejects a code that contains one of them, and a fake tag can print such a code. If you read one of those letters, look again in good light, because a smudged 1 or 0 is easy to misread, then check the code in our Nike and Jordan code checker.
Recent genuine tags also print a patent line, "This product is covered by one or more patents: www.nike.com/patentsvirtualmarking". A fake tag can get that line wrong, so its spelling is one of the things an authenticator compares. Older tags are laid out differently, so a pair without the line is not a fake for that reason.
Inspect the Reverse Swoosh for Stitching & Alignment
The reverse Swoosh is the signature of every Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low, and it is one of the best places to spot a fake. On a genuine pair, the Swoosh sits in proportion to the panel, and the stitching runs close to its edge all the way to the tip.
In the circled areas, compare the stitch row along the Swoosh and the shape of the tip. On the fake we compared, the thread is thinner and the row drifts away from the edge of the Swoosh, while the genuine pair has thicker, even stitches that hug the edge. Also look at where the stitching runs through the tail of the reverse Swoosh, which is one of the things an authenticator compares with a genuine pair.
The second photo shows the large Swoosh on the other side of the shoe. Follow the stitch line where it crosses the olive panel and where it meets the top of the Swoosh. On the genuine pair the stitches are even and evenly spaced, so check the same spots on your pair for gaps or uneven stitches.
Examine Rear Logos for Even Stitching & Quality
Turn to the heels. The left heel carries the Cactus Jack face and the right heel the Air Jordan wings logo. Our photos for this section do not show the heels, so compare yours with a genuine Medium Olive.
On the Cactus Jack side, check that the stitching around the leather patch is even and that the stitches are the same length all the way round. On fakes, the stitch row is often too heavy while the individual stitches look thin. On the wings side, look for short, uneven stitches around the patch, which are common on fakes. Then read the "Air Jordan" embroidery itself. On many fakes the letters are thicker and the gaps between them are different. Batches vary, and some fakes look cleaner than a retail pair, so compare the lettering only with a genuine Medium Olive. The Cactus Jack face differs between versions, and sometimes between the two shoes of one genuine pair, so a small difference in the face alone is not a red flag. The heel logos are shared with the Canary Yellow and the other Travis Scott Lows.
Check Perforation Spacing & Alignment
The perforations on the toe box should be evenly spaced, cleanly punched and aligned in rows. Check the shape of each hole in the close-ups, and the double stitch row along the edge of the toe overlay. On a genuine pair the holes are round and clean, and the two stitch rows stay parallel.
Fakes often have holes that are unevenly sized or spaced, or stitch rows that wander. The Reverse Mocha shares this toe box, so the same check applies.
Look at the Exterior Tongue Label for Embroidery & Stitching Quality
The outer tongue label carries "Cactus Jack" in Travis Scott's handwriting. Look closely at the embroidered letters, especially the "C" and "JACK" in the close-ups. On the genuine pair we compared, the strokes are finer and the curves are smooth. On the fake, the strokes are thicker and the curves less clean.
Do not judge the label by the shade of olive. Thread color reads differently under different light and cameras, so compare shade only side by side under the same light. Check that the label is stitched straight onto the tongue and that every letter is complete. Authenticators also check the tongue patches: on genuine Travis Scott Lows the Travis Scott patch and the Nike patch sit almost in line.
Assess the Toe Box Shape & Structure
Finally, look at the toe box from the side. Some fakes have a higher, oddly shaped toe box, while a genuine pair has a flatter, lower toe. Toe box height changes with size, lacing and wear, though, so compare only with a genuine pair of the same size, and treat a difference as a pointer, not proof.
Check the Box Label
The label on the end of a Jordan box repeats the shoe's details: the model name, the style code, the size, the colorway and a UPC barcode, and recent labels add a QR code. On a genuine pair in its own box, the UPC on the label matches the one on the size tag, while the box QR carries a different code from the tag QR. A second barcode sticker from a resale platform is normal, and so is a regional label on pairs sold in Asia. Box labels are the easiest part to reprint, so compare fonts and spacing only against a genuine box from the same release. A missing or replacement box is not a sign of a fake.
For the Medium Olive, the label should read DM7866-200, the same code as the size tag.
A barcode that scans proves little. Fakes print real Nike UPCs, and a fake barcode passes the barcode's own check digit too. A label can also print a real Nike barcode that belongs to another shoe or size, which is why the barcode, the style code and the size must agree. So check that the UPC on the tag matches the box, then that the number belongs to your style code and size. Recent tags print 14 digits starting with 00 after "UPC", and the box prints 12 digits plus a small two-digit add-on, so drop the add-on and the leading zeros before you compare.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Medium Olive the same shoe as the women's Olive?
No. The Medium Olive is DM7866-200, released in September 2024 in men's sizes. The women's Olive is DZ4137-106, released in April 2023 in a sail, black and olive colorway. The style code on the size tag tells you which one you have, and the table at the top of this guide lists both.
Where is the style code on the Medium Olive?
On the size tag sewn inside the tongue and on the box label. Both should read DM7866-200.
Does the Cactus Jack face look different on each shoe?
It can. The face varies between versions and sometimes between the two shoes of one genuine pair. Judge the stitching around the patch, not small differences in the face.
Is a Medium Olive with a QR code on the tag fake?
No. The genuine tag in our photo has a QR code, and so does the fake. A QR code opens the same Nike page for any well-formed code, so it proves nothing either way. Our guide to what a Nike QR code and UPC can show explains why, and the size tag section lists what to compare instead.
Is a Medium Olive made in Vietnam fake?
Not for that reason alone. The genuine and the fake tag in our photo both say Made in China, but Nike makes Jordans in more than one country, so the country has to fit the factory code and the rest of the tag. Our guide to where Jordans are made explains what to compare.
