Is that pair of Jordans real? Dark Mocha, Chicago, Black Cat and Travis Scott releases sit at the top of every counterfeit list, and good replicas get the colors right. An Air Jordan authenticity check focuses on what they miss: toe box and heel shape, Wings and Jumpman logos, stitching, size tag and box label, all compared with verified references.

What we check on Air Jordan
How to tell a real Air Jordan from a fake
On Jordans the toe box and heel shape are the first tells: replicas often sit taller at the toe and miss the hourglass heel. These are the parts of a pair our authenticators check from your photos.
01
Shape and toe box
Toe box height and roundness, the hourglass heel from behind and panel proportions for that model.
02
Wings logo
Size, placement, embossing depth and font on Jordan 1 collars. Many replicas run the logo small.
03
Jumpman
Proportions, stitching and placement on the tongue, heel or insole.
04
Toe box perforations
Holes of the same size in an even pattern.
05
Size tag
Style code against the colorway, print weight, spacing, and the country and dates for that release.
06
Stitching
Stitch density and spacing around the toe, the heel and the overlays.
07
Insole and footbed
Insole print, then the stitching and glue under it.
08
Box label
Style code, colorway name and size matching the size tag.

Not one that proves a pair is real. The style code on the size tag and the box, such as CD4487-100, is a six character model code and a three digit color code. It names the release the label claims to be, so it is one checkpoint, and replicas print real codes. We check the code against the pair, then the pair itself.
Start with the shape. A genuine Jordan 1 has a rounded toe box, where many replicas sit taller, and the heel has an hourglass shape from behind. Then check the Wings logo, which replicas often make too small, and the toe box holes. Our Chicago and Dark Mocha guides show each detail.
No. A resale platform tag, a receipt or the box is one checkpoint, and each can be copied or moved to another pair. We judge the shoes themselves against verified references for that release, starting with the shape, the logos and the size tag.
No. Nike says most of its footwear is made in Vietnam, Indonesia and China, and Jordans come from all three depending on the model and the release. The country only matters when it does not match what that release used, which we check on the size tag.
We compare your pair with verified references for that exact release, detail by detail, and even the better replicas tend to slip on toe box shape, logo size or label print. If the photos do not show enough to decide, we ask for more instead of guessing.
Yes. Collaboration pairs are checked against verified references for that exact release. They resell far above retail and are widely copied, so we look at release-specific details as well as the standard checkpoints.
For the most accurate and quick authentication process, we advise you to upload clear photos of the areas visible when clicking 'Upload photos' on this page. We quickly determine if the uploaded photo meets our criteria. If your photos do not meet the criteria, you will receive a request for more and/or clearer photos. Check out Photo Instructions to find clear examples for each detail.
