"SZ" is the UK Factory. UK version doesn't have female size, and has a blue stamp under the insole, toe box is a little higher and the Red also glows Orange... You should get a SZ pair and compare it to the rep. I guarantee the reps are based on shoes overseas.
Bro thank you. My pair came from Austria and it only had the men's size and says SZ but everything else check out as the real pairs even the space between the I and the K in the "nike " logo . So they are fake because someone calls them fake and don't have the women's sizing? I bought from goat . Smh
@asavofficial6504 I got a pair from goat and they came from Australia too did your have the blue stamp? Mine did stitching was great but when I put a black light to it the bottom part where it's red was glowing. Are they fake??
@danielochoa-bx9yu I have no idea lol I hope not because goat should be a reliable source for shoes and should have professional sneaker authentication smh. But I wish I knew everything checked out for the most part for me
Yo what's crazy is my pair from DTLR...the left shoe looks like the pair you got from Chicago Emporium and the right shoe looks like the pair you got from Foot Locker. So yeah the retails are different like you stated for sure. Good video bruh!
I mess wit you heavy jacob..an respect the heck out the channel..so no shot..because i dont know..but you gotta admit its a lil sus that chicago emporium follows alot of the same rep sellers that i do..i dont know if thats a common thing or not..Just saying..i personally havnt heard anybody say they bought anything fake from them.but its something that bothered me about them..regardless love the vids bro
Just saying If I owned a store that got early pairs I would want to follow these rep sellers as well so I can keep up with what is out there and what to look for Especially with getting early pairs Just my 2 cents on the matter
Hate to say it we got “Got” from chicago Emporium. I hit 8 pairs of size 12 from different stores. All same Factories, yes they all have differences but the ones from chicago emporium are the only one that have crazy differences to the others starting off at the box.
The toe box shape is different on the 2 pairs ibgot from sneakers and dtlr. More curved at the toe on the sneakers app one but everything else the same. Stamp on insole a lil different placing. Once you wear a pair and break it in the netting gets softer almost
I have a double up as well and mine literally have the same differences yours has. 1 pair has 1 shoe with the lose netting, crooked stitch line under the Nike Air at the back and leather is less tumbled on 1 pair. I bought my pairs from DSG and DTLR. At the end of the day, even a seasoned shoe collector couldn't tell on foot and I'm blessed to have them.🤷🏾♂️🔥🔥
Yea same bro I think they all gonna have some slight differences. Just like with the size tags. Some have women sizes some don’t. I know the overseas pair don’t but they are legit
Great video per usual. I always check out your real vs fake videos and compare them to my shoes. The only thing I didn’t understand was the netting. Could you explain what was different from the 2 pairs ? I’d really appreciate it, thank you !!
The sz 12 on the footlocker has a little space in between the 1 and the 2 mines are the same way from dtlr the chicago emporium is closer together on the 1 and the 2
I been saying for a long time these “early pairs” are NOT what they say they are. I mean who’s to say anyone can buy a shoe that’s coming out this Christmas from a rep seller and just say “yeah I got these early from a dude who got it from Nike’s sample team” people need to open their eyes and learn not to trust these early pairs.
@@144Souldiernah the pair on the left is from Chicago Emporium which were one of the first to get “early pairs” he even made a video few days ago saying he got it from them.
After watching this it made me want to go check my couple pairs I have and one of my pairs that I picked up from Champs has the same dates and netting like the Chicago Emporium pair. I grabbed a pair I got from Finishline and they match up to ya other pair It is weird. I didn’t black light it to see if they do the same thing For those in disagreement here, I picked mines up directly from a retail store Just saying. Great comparison Jake you definitely be knowing ya stuff
Yea I have a SNKRS pair and a DSG pair and the DSG pair has loose netting on the outer part on both the left and right shoe, plus glue stains that were a bit sloppy. The SNKRS pair has a cheaper black paint on the midsole and it looks like it’s a little faded in certain spots but I researched several pics and noticed that on others pairs as well even the pair used on SNKRS has the faded black midsole if you look closely at the GOT ‘EM picture. I should do a retail vs retail also before I sell the DSG pair because I couldn’t take that loose netting, can’t fix that, I’d rather repaint the midsole.
@@JacobMarcellus (UPDATE) I made the video!…Question, for the stitching around the toe box (the grey part) how many stitch lines does each have going around? One of my pair has 18 stitch lines and the other has 16 stitch lines, was wondering because your pairs look to be different as well.
If the differences between retail pairs gets as close as the best reps are to retail pairs then we really are approaching the end game. So long as the reps hold up ok build quality wise then there really is little going for the retail pairs, especially if we're talking $150 vs $300-1k dollars. Fascinating video btw! 😃
This video right here is what made me order a rep pair. Lol. If 2 retail are different the way these reps look its no telling the difference at all on feet. Its always funny when legit checkers check reps they spend so much time looking over the shoe. If you cant tell its a rep by first glance than they doing something right across that water.
@@144SouldierSpot on, if Jacob hadn't have seen all the reps and gotten this pair from a less than reputable source we'd probably have all gone, "Man these fakes are getting even closer'. I don't have much sympathy for Nike, or some other manufacturers; if they actually gave us top quality materials and tighter QC then there would be less room for the rep game. I'd say in the past year out of around 20 odd Nike pairs I've bought only 1 or 2 have not had some sort of minor scuff, blemish or glue stain. For £170-$250 dollars they should be giving us better than meah ok leather and trust to luck finishing. I bought a pair of custom Nike by you shoes recently and the leather on those was far better than the regular release materials, which when you think you're 'only' paying an extra 20 odd, and that includes all your customizations, the extra cost of upgraded materials can't be costing them the earth.
Why didn't you flip the wings? there should be 6 dots with the middle lower dot being shaped different. Some pairs the dots protrude and some shoes the dots are flat because my dots are flat. I am not 100% sure if they are supposed to be flat because nobody flips the wings
@@JacobMarcellus Jacob bro I’m feeling like sh I bought an 11.5 pair from GOAT. Smells horrible out the box, chemical smell similar to fakes, they gotta be overseas release but shipped from Atlanta. 2 columns of air in size 11.5.
I was lucky enough to get a pair, I got to the store at 4am and there were already 7 people there waiting in line, by the time they opened there were at least 50 people in line, they sold out quick
I wear a size 14/15 and now that they make fakes in those sizes it’s strictly retail or bust for me from now on. I hit both on the SNKRS shock drop and RD. SD is LN4 RD is LNM and they both actually look a little different
Why does it seem like all the reimagined Jordan’s have to have a lot of QC issues and so many differences from one legit shoe to the next? makes it easier for reps to slide by on these
I just bought a pair on one shoe The leather that goes all the way around is glowing green and on the other shoe the top leather is glowing green. Are these fake?
@@danielochoa-bx9yuthey say the Europe pair is legit and also the size sticker says only one size instead both like the us pair men and women I have the same pair you have from goat
Since they made so many im guessing they ran out of material or switched out material because they made almost maybe 500,000 not or more even cause people are still saying there’s probably another restock gonna happen so I mean if we look at the white cement they made a lot of those and those had a lot of inconsistent things on them it’s not even just cute QT problems it was like probably different ways. They were doing the material and not realizing like oh we fucked up but as long as they’re legit, can’t complain because I mean look at the ones of the lost and found you did you said there were so many different qualities of the one you got right away and then the other one you got and you were like damn, these are gonna be my fucking beaters and these ones are gonna be my my fucking sit on the shelves so I mean they’re just too many differences and retails cause if we can actually truly like see them sit and compare them in house probably like oh I’m gonna go to a Nike store. See if they’re different there or go to a Foot Locker. See if they’re different there and match all the different pairs of retail, I mean you’re gonna find some different qualities of probably all them again at least they’re real
The quality control on some of these runs have been horrible. Ive missed out on trying to cop the Bred 4's & Red Cement 4's.....but after seeing all the inconsistent netting, im not to upset over it. The GS & PS runs have been absolute crap, all covered in glue as well
every shoe is a hit or miss..you really Cant tell...the Box will give it away. Not all major shoe outlets have the same Factory they get the shoes from
@@DigitalNomad9209 your statement does🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. Why buy retail for the most part they all come from china. What does they both come from china prove?

Hey Bro. I live in Europe. I won a raffle on a legit Sneaker Store. Here we have only mens size in size tag. Great Video as always
Retail vs Retail is always educational. Thanks for posting this.
Salute!
Was waiting for this review even tho I haven’t gotten a pair yet
4:39 the overseas retail pairs are from SZ factories and has the different box label too. So now it’s harder to LC the overseas pairs
Bro thank you. My pair came from Austria and it only had the men's size and says SZ but everything else check out as the real pairs even the space between the I and the K in the "nike " logo .

Same here I copped from goat and have the sz factory and the bottom glows with the black light
It's seems like all the legit SZ pairs glow in UV light so y'all are good. I heard ppl bought pairs from official NIKE and they glow.
Should I do retail vs retail vs retail? 😅
Yes sir. I did it with the red thunder 4s
Yeah asap
Yes do it bro

You're right reseller's were out in force on Saturday, I was in line at footlocker and I'd say at least 75% of the people in line were reseller's
