How to recognize a replica of the Jordan 4 sneaker

With the popularity of Jordan 4 comes an increased risk of counterfeits, which can be difficult to recognize at first glance. Here are a few points to watch out for:

1. Boxes and packaging

• Logo on the box: The original Jordan 4 box always has a cleanly printed logo with precise outlines. In counterfeits, the logo is often blurry or misaligned.
• Inserts and accessories: The original box should also contain quality paper and accessories, which counterfeits often lack or are of inferior quality.

2. Tongue and logo

• Stitching on the tongue: On originals, the stitches are straight and precise, while on counterfeits, the stitches are often irregular or crooked.
• Jumpman logo: Check the Jumpman logo, especially the fingers, the ball, and the proportions of the figure. In fake products, the figure is often poorly sculpted.

3. Material and quality of workmanship

• Leather and textile: Original Jordan 4s use quality materials that feel soft to the touch, while counterfeits often feel plastic or hard.
• Sole: On originals, the rubber sole is firm and durable, while counterfeits often have a soft, lower quality sole.

4. Labels and serial numbers

• Labels on the tongue and inside of the shoe: Original products have precise labels with clearly readable numbers and text. If the numbers on both shoes do not match, it is highly likely a counterfeit.
• QR code and serial number: On some models, you can scan the QR code, which will redirect you to the official website. Counterfeits often have poorly readable or non-functional codes.

5. Heel support and seams

• Heel structure: The heel support on originals is firm, while on counterfeits it may be soft or irregular.
• Stitching around the shoe: The original Jordan 4 has very clean seams and no loose threads. Counterfeits often show deficiencies in stitching and threads that stick out.

Conclusion

Recognizing original Jordan 4s from counterfeits requires attention to detail and often comparison with an original. If in doubt, try verifying the shoes at specialized stores or use legitimate verification services.
