The Fake pair used in this video is an unauthorized where the real pair of the Jordan 12 Flu Game came from an authorized retailer.
DISCLAIMER: Video is for Educational Purposes Only.
Some Tips On Authentic vs. Unauthorized Air Jordan 12:
1. Reptile texture is larger on Fakes
2. On the heel, where the Red meets, no translucent area. Authentic pairs will have a bit of translucent.
3. Sole is brighter shade of Red.
4. Tumbled leather on the uppers of the real is more shiny, where the Fakes are flat.
5. Tongue sits higher up on the fakes.
6. White stitching inside of fakes, real has black.
7. Opposite side of insoles will be a darker shade of blue (real) where the fake pair will be brighter.
8. Cardboard shoe inserts on the fakes will be smooth where the authentic is rough.
9. Tissue paper on fakes is lighter, thiner and duller in color.
10. The box on the authentic has a rich color brown (cardboard).

Im not boutaa lie I learned more then I would in algebra class😂😂
HellGang Brasi fr
HellGang Brasi dead was bruh
Bruh it’s crazy Bc we never gonna use algebra in the real world
The Fakes look better in my opinon.. SMH
I Thought the fake was the real
Cause your a fake as n.gga haaa..bozo
You could’ve made this into a 10 min video instead of a 30 min video tbh
Bro trying his best to convince me that’s two different shoes😂😂😂
bro exactly. he loosened lossened them up
They are dumbass
I think they are the same shoe
Shop for MATERIALS.
QUALITY.
then PRICE
I agree the fakes look better than the real. I've bought 5 pair of Jordan 6 from a site 8 won't reveal and they are off the hook. I'll pay 65 all day long compared to 250 plus here in the states to these money hungry rip offs.
brian douglas what is the website I wanna buy some
dhgate
I dont like fakes or knock offs but tbh you cant even find the brand jordan 12's anywhere
The fakes are of higher quality.
Financial advice. Get the fakes if they are significantly priced lower.
18-23% of retail price.
beware of people charging full price. That is a fraud.
But I would only collect fakes.
Love both pairs. But financially not worth the money being that eventually they will wither away.
i do like to whear real but i have nothing against fake ones its understandable to buy fakes if some people dont have the money because they are really nice and its good to have an option to still own them eventhough they dont have the money for the real ones its good to see some difference but at the end pf the day they are still the same if you want them for looks with the fake ones at $40 and the real ones at $190 i would say buy the real if you got the money or a collector and buy the fake if your tight on money and still really want them for looks
DvB I respect that. Everyone is entitled to buy what they like. The video was made for those that want to buy the authentic and not be scammed
@@sneakerfiles please email me. Tyronemcbride1@hotmail.com need your help
Got an authentic pair from footlocker and my production date doesn't match yours so that can't be an indication
It isn't an indication. People just want to know production date...there are authentic pairs with different production dates
I feel like JB lowered the quality on the nike zoom material. For my Taxi 12 (2008 CDP) i can actually feel the nike zoom unit, but for the Flu Game 12 (2016) I barely feel it.
Sneakerfiles thanks for the video
One big major difference you didnt mention I own real several real pairs of 12s and 2 pairs of fakes is when you put them on the comfort level authenic ones are snug and comfortable when you walk the fake ones are really loose and feel like payless shoes. Just being honest
The GS size always has a huge difference.. Not to mention the box, aesthetics, hang tags ... it's tough to tell.. Fakes r as good as the retails.. Bummer
Crazy how much different GS sizes are then adult. I saw the GS in person and they almost looked faked.
I paid $160 for a pair of UA. The cushioning is the same my brother has the Authentic pair and I tried on his pair and the cushioning is the same. From a distance and even up close the shoes look the same. I would rather buy a pair of UA then to go to Ebay and get fucked in my ass by a reseller.
Understandable. I always say buy what you like, of course for those that want to buy authentic releases, we hope the videos help
***** Exactly! Perfectly said
***** I can't get swindled if I already know that I'm buying Unauthorized Jordans. I can buy Authentic Jordans for retail if I want I just choose not too. I understand the problem because resellers can sell you UA or Retail and you will still get fucked regardless due to obscene asking prices for a outdated shoe. This is why I don't really care about Authentic vs. Fake because the authentics are made by the same people who make the unauthorized fakes.
***** I'm not a reseller and I wouldn't sell fake merchandise to anybody because I wouldn't want anyone to sell me something fake if I didn't know about it.
Yea man Nike making money off both lol they just sell "fakes" for the people who can afford that price vs the "real" price. Long as they last just as long then I would have to say it doesn't really matter lol and this is comin from someone who has a real pair of the flu games. So idk
Quick answer.
Remember that the fakes have something to proove. They will always be met with more scrutiny etc.
1.They have to atleast pass the initial test to execute the actual purchase point.
2. They are most likely reverse engineered.
Meaning. Long term solutions are easily implemented.
Reasons being that, these are all in limited hot market runs, that have to be both efficient and cost effective.
I will give you a personal example. I used to build replica super cars.
All of better quality and performance than the original cars.
Especially more impressive performance etc. Performance being my number 1 goal. Not just the esthetics.
But. You quickly realize how much work goes into both versions. Granted. My cars were faster. But not authentic.
Thus also realize this. People don't buy porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini because they are fast.
They buy them because they are hand made...
In my own personal experience.
So I learned alot about quality, fit and finish. Which is why I watched the video.
Great
where do you get the fakes from
RastaMf _ or ioffer.com
RastaMf _ dhgate
I still haven't tried a pair.
Here in the philippines the authentic cost 300 us dollars or almost 15,000 pesos...and the replica cost 40 us dollars or 2000 pesos in philippines money....they are both the same..and ur correct to ur analysis.....very great n usefull....
What I seen from the video and on my pair is that the authentic pair for the right shoe, the stitching line up with the J on the heel tab perfectly vs the UA pair where it's off
I think I know what you're talking about. Is it the red that sticks out a bit?
+SneakerFiles.com No, the black sticking on the side of the shoe that connects to the heel tab
bullsswag Sorry I am having a hard time with this. Do you mean where it reads "Inspired by the,......"?
Yes Brian you kept your promise on delivering this video. What a lad you really are! Thanks!
haha yes!!! Thank you! Took a while to put together and upload but it's finally here.
If I'm not mistake the LN4 in upper right hand corner of the size tag is the manufacturer factory code....both pairs has LN4. So did they come same factory????
Just to let you know if it's not an original from the late '80s or '90s it's a replica so basically everybody is wearing reps
if i search the upc number and my shoes come up does that mean they’re automatically real? Everything checks out on them from the video just my production date is 10/28/15-3/08/16? Chances of them being authentic?
know where i can get the fakes website? I cant afford the real ones
Edit : The fake ones without the butt crack on the jumpman)
Let be real here at long at jump men logo is good. because some jump men logo look ass no cap.
i think da picture on stockx for the flu games are fake because da little wing that says jordan is too big but if you look on goat the wing looks smaller
Inside stitching is white and the bottom 23 is orange but my back tab is translucent I'm so confused
I bought a pair from goat and the stitching inside the pull tag isn’t fully red there is also black stitching and I don’t know if that means if there fake or not
The tongue on the "fakes" are more similar to the actual 12s Jordan wore against Utah. I like the fact that the tongue is bigger.
If you compare to the OG, no..but maybe his PE was like that
I bought these last week from a reseller on offerup and the red crocodile leather is bumpy like chicken pox, the interior stitches are white, and the which is beat, does not have the "nike air insole" sticker. The reseller won't answer. What are my options?
If you buy them on offer up . It's more likely to be fake
A lot of flaws on my pair from Snkrs app like the the overlay over the reptile skin is very dull and a lot of glue stains.Jumpman is different between the left and right pair.Different production dates between the left and right pair.
That sucks...I had a pair in hand (size 9.5) and had a ton of glue stains...so imperfections on real pairs are still there. Just sucks when you receive them. Sorry to hear this.
i always wear fake jordan’s . because they look and feel real and i can get a pair as expensive as the flu games or wings for like $55 lmao
Why does everybody say "the fakes look better than the real ones" when they never do...? Fakes always have flaws and they point out that you're wearing fakes, I only buy Authentic shoes, no UA, no fake. And I'd 100% pay for the real pair over the fake regardless the quality because fake is fake, and it's disrespectful...
Zack T. Did you know So called " authentic " Jordan's are actually 16 $ to make? 😂 & Real or Fake both was made in the same factory
It's just the real one was completely done
reek rodriqguez that is false 😂😂😂 fake jordans are not made in the same factory as real thats a lie people who where fakes have made that shit up to make themselves feel better about wearing fakes. most fake shoes are made in these chinese scammers basements alll the tags are copied from real pairs they are not off the assembly line. They get the tags off the a real shoe and duplicate them its not hard to find the materials needed to make a jordan shoe in china after all thats where jordans are made.
Why does the carbon fiber look more clear on some pairs and almost black in others
It must be with size 10.5 and up that you get the white spacer because I've gotten it with the French Blues the masters and flu games in 10.5
Oh ok that makes sense. I didn't get it with the 10, but when I had to grab a size 12 of The Masters, they had it.
Oh I think you're just winging it you're looking at the differences as you go and it doesn't mean it's an imperfection just cuz you're pointing it out on the fake you can totally flip it and say the fake or real and call the authentic Jordan fake because of the flaws. 10-year-old can do that
My original pair came full laced as well
Interesting..maybe someone laced them up?
honestly i have real Jordan's and fake Jordan's and i really don't care you can never tell the difference. And if you don't want to pay $200 on a pair of shoes just get the "fakes"
I respect that
Snatched these for 150 today literally brand new and they are legit. I’m like wtf
Where at??
@@Jbeeze82 got em on OfferUp
What if it doesn't say 03/11/16? But the rest was good and legit ?
Juan Patino some shoes were made different days,In factory don't worry they aint fufus
Bro this is so outdated. The UA's are exactly the same as the retail pair. I can do a video right now with 2 pairs 1 UA and the other Super Max Perfect and it will exactly the same as this video. If I do a video of 2 UA pair their going to have differences. If I do a video of 2 retail pairs their still will have their differences. Remember that every shoe is made by hand not a machine so all of them will be different.
exactly
I agree that every shoe has it's differences and I make mention of that in the video. No pair will be identical. However the reptile print on the overlay is different between the two. I have heard that some UA's have fixed the translucent hit on the tab. Other then that, you still have the box which has always been off, the lighter shade of red on the outsole with hits of Orange and Pink.
+SneakerFiles.com who the fuck is going to see the box. You are not going to wear the box. Unless you are making videos like yourself or showing the box to everybody. Anybody can get retail pair and place UA pair inside and sale them like if it was a retail pair and nobody will notice. And to be honest with you a lot of people rather get the UA' first because they can get it safer. There's no waiting in line or do raffles and they are not going to pay resale price on them.
+Jamie Guevara +Jamie Guevara this argument is going nowhere. It's evident that you are ok with UA Fake and that's fine. This video was made for those that don't want fakes and to help people avoid getting scammed. I am a collector. I am almost at 500 pairs of Deadstock sneakers, not 1 is fake. As I will always respect what someone chooses to wear, I am also trying to help people that do not want fakes. If you try to pass off a fake as real, that's a no go but if you're real about the shoes being fake, I don't have issues or judgement. Fakes aren't for me but I am not going to judge or tell someone they can't wear something
+SneakerFiles.com well first of all UA is not fake. If you have more that 500 pairs of shoes you should know about this already. People that say that are either ignorant or they don't realize the truth behind UA pairs. Now if supposed you are doing this to help the sneaker community a service let me tell you that you are waiting your time. Because again people will buy whatever they want to buy and also more people are buying UA pairs because of the resale market killing the game and also because of the fact the they will get the shoes with the same materials and the same factories that make them with less hassle. Not everybody has a plug or a hookup for shoes. To get every single pair that comes out. There are a lot of people that have UA pairs and think that are retail. a lot of sneaker events have a lot of pairs that are UA. But nobody ever says anything. If you buy a pair of shoes outside of an authorized retail store. That makes the shoe UA also. Get your facts straight first.
What color is the stitching on the inside heel tab? I just bought a pair from stockx and it has both red and black stitching inside the heel tab. Should it be all red?
Do they paint the midsole red? I bought a pair from project blitz and everything looks legit except for it looks like the midsole is painted red and there's a spot where it looks like some white is showing through.
Yeah my 10.5 cause with like this white box thing inside them but everything else looks good but I'm good tho????
What if everything about the look of the shoe checks out but then end of the production date is 3/08 instead of 3/11
Sometimes production numbers don't match up.
yo my shits are real but my in sole has white stitching
Where did you purchase from?
some dude but i have translucent bottoms and heel.. i have the smooth gator print
Dream Team Some fakes have released with a translucent heel. What size are yours?
thats true but on some pairs even yzy you have to really get down to the smallest details details no one is gona stop you to check out your shoes and tell if there fake or not it will only get worse im a reseller and it drives the prices down on some markets.
I haven't done to much research on the YEEZY fakes, I just have seen that they have batches? And then with every batch they get better?
It's a shame Nike controls which batches is fake and which bat is not get out of here that's the case I want the Fakes all day
Where did u get the reps from
One way to find fakes is if there is no Jordan logo is kinda on the midsole and the fake one has it in the middle of the bottom of the shoe
Not sure I understand?
I got scammed damn bruh 😂💀💀
It crazy because I have Jordan 12’s flu game and on the red coloring it looks like the real ones but behind it on the heel the Jordan looks like the fake ones but the coloring is more darker than the fake ones but then I looked at the bottom and the “23” looks orange instead of red like the real soo... I’m just confused but I’m a size 8 so there’s a difference between the ones in the video
Do your research on UA! Fake is when somebody falsify Jordan's. These shoes are made from the same company, same materials, same workers! When A company orders 300 shoes from a factory they make about double. They pick the first best 300. What didn't make the cut or was left over gets sold for cheaper. They're not authorized and may have imperfections but the sale them for cheap instead of throwing them away. Fake is what that guy tried to sell me on the side of the road with the fat jumpman. 🙄😂😂
talking about "user experience" between authentic vs fake/unauthorised/watevershi ts
the cushion part is the crucial....
most of the fake's air cushion are piece of crap. most of them has insufficient air pressure.....and the authentic pair is definitely fantastic, no matter zoom or sole...
To be honest I couldn't tell you. I didn't try the fakes on
u should, they won't hurt your feet thou....what user cares is actually the user experience rather than the outlook only...
James Tan Kian Hong Yea I am going to next time I go...Not sure when that is though
what does the "LN3" and "LN4" mean on the tag? Does it mean it mean that if it shows LN4 its fake?
I feel you bro. I'll buy UA's from the flea market in a minute if they are quality. like u said some UA'S are about the same price at the flea market, but they look good.
I understand that and respect it. At the end of the day you buy what you like.
I'm four minutes in and the back of that Authentic pair look really crooked compared to others I've seen.
DAMMIT!!! I think I got a fake pair off ebay :( I think I got scammed... I have been taking Ls non stop when buying jordans :( DAMMIT!! Thanks for this video tho brother!
No problem on the video. What are the differences you have seen on your pair?
Dude I love your videos I just recently bought the banned 1 off ebay that was fakes and thanks to watching your comparison videos I was able to send them back and get my money back
My j12 bought from footlocker riyadh. Is there a possibility to be fake?
evrything is perfect oin my pair except the production date is that ok?
Welp I got fakes from stockx and already took the tag off smh
the leather goes back to normal and the tounge dont sit high
Once again the laces on the real pair is inside out and the fakes are outside in
From what I see the “fake” ones are way cheaper than the “real” pair. To me it’s not that big of a deal. The “fake” ones are still SNEAKERS and if you gotta go around the shoe with a microscope....why go thru the trouble?
Its scary how the fake look better than the real tho
I might buy some flu games from Kixify and the guys shoe might be fake because his shoe has no gap between the 23 in the back
Kixify is much like eBay, however the gap isn't the only factor when determining real and fake. Is the heel area translucent? Ask him to take pics without the insole.
Would you use black light to authenticate this pair.
Unauthorised are fake made at the same place with the same Materials
So if the inside of the shoe must only have black stitching and nothing else?
Not sure I understand.
Bruh!!! this vid is to long. Plus, the UA joints are cheaper and the quality is much better. you got the AAA or the 1-1 joints. Trust me, you cant tell the diff if you coped the UA. Also, I use to collect Jordan's and the quality is trash now. So why would I pay full price for some half ass made Jordan's from foot locker.
Yu had me worried I got some 16 flu games for 120 only the Jumpman on the side had me thinking but the soles are hard to come up and saw the balck stitching on the back heel
This was a bad “fake” in my opinion. My “fake” pair is spot on with every aspect of the retail pair. On top of that, most of the things you pointed out didn’t even have to be mentioned. This video should’ve been a 5 minute video at best.
most of the differences you can't even notice. they look exactly the same.the insoles are different what a big fucking deal no body sees that.
Bruh I have mix of UA and store bought Jordans you can barley tell the difference especially when they where on your feet
This video wasn't for those that don't care about rocking real or fake..it is for those that want to buy real Jordan's.
+SneakerFiles.com I have both so who gives a fuck
who really cares if fake or real. some people aint rich or have it like that if they wanna buy fake jordans or fake anything and it makes them happy then so be it. have to realize if your not buying it for anyone why judge them thats just my opinion.
Appreciate the comment. I see your point, but disagree. This video was made for those that are wanting to buy the authentic sneaker and not a fake one. If someone is selling a fake shoe and representing it as real, isn't that wrong? If someone chooses to wear fakes, then that is their choice. This video is for educational purposes. We are not judging anyone.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THESE FLU GAMES? I CAN'T TELL IF THEY'RE REAL I WILL SEND A PICTURE. I KNOW THERE IS A VIDEO BUT I MYSELF CAN'T TELL
The almost orange 23 at the bottom does that mean it's real
I skipped the beginning and thought the real ones were the fakes because of that translucent tip at the back..lol
That's the best looking fake iv ever seen. And btw kids sizes in the bred 12s this year don't have the translucent part on the back heal where the 23 is. So if you see that it don't mean it's fake it's just a kid size shoe
Yes you are correct on that (GS size) it's solid.
Are Flu games from flight club authentic?
Anything on flight club is authentic
Not from what Ive heard
nice vid and I like how loyal you are to fans by replying a lot
U should do a gym reds
We will try and do those
hey sneaker you should do the retro 1 high noveau don't know if i spelled it wrong but who cares
Laurie Smythe We will do those also..as soon as a new color drops
when does the new color way drop
Laurie Smythe Not sure. I haven't seen or heard anything yet on that model.
Where did you buy these Flu game replicas? Asking for a friend.. 🤔
Every single detail is fine on my pair but the dates are off on the tongue. Should I be alarmed
Production dates can be different...where did you purchase from?
I bought it from a reseller and he has receipt from Nike Australia. The date on mine are 12/08/15 to 01/18/16
October's Very Own® Do you have a link to the seller?
I'm not gonna lie I watched this like 2 times it's really helpful I will for sure look out for the details.
Good looking out
Glad you enjoyed and happy we could help. Appreciate the comment.
Yo I’m not gonna lie, thought I got scammed buying these through eBay. Thanks for the heads up and I’m glad all turned out well for me. Now I don’t have a problem with wearing fakes but when it comes to certain pairs like the flu game, space jams and retro bred.. I feel you should only buy real. And if it’s a financial issue than look at some vnds or used pairs that just need a little cleaning.
So I’m looking to get new conditioned pairs of each Flu game (97,03,09,16). A lot of folks telling me eBay as long as it has the blue mark and authenticity guarantee that I should be safe but I’m also looking at goat. Stockx I’m back and forth on especially w the lawsuits going on. Please anyone help!
oh if the fake jordan has an extra lace its fake then the real one is real he says some stuff thats nothing
It's bs how good the fakes are.
Fakes are getting really good. It's weird because there was a time when you could easily spot them.
11 and up have the white thingy in the box
I came across this video to check if my 12s were real, everything seems legit but instead of 3/11/16 it says 02/02/16 so im assuming my pair is fake?
i have a trick to tell if yours is real or not. Just look at the logo and if it dosent look exacaly like the REAL jordan logo its fake.
This guy made a 5 minute video into a half hour
I have a 10.5 and my box has the white card box block.
That's ok..I assume your a size 10.5 or higher?
Can you do the Taxi 12's because myself and my more people like that color way
I will try to do that. Will look into that.
Everything on my pair is on point except the production date which is the same as the fake 😕 should I be worried
yougot the same batch as our home boy here lol
every shoe size had a different daye
I got 2 pairs from Hibbett the day they released and u should see the very biggg differences of each shoe compared to the other.im guessing they have a different person sewing each shoe and just tossing them into big barrells or something real talk
Sorry for the late reply. yes there are some differences between the two. This is due to factory flaws. This happens often with authentic pairs.
Lee Smith
wait cause it's some US that's translucent on the back above the 23 too
Yes, some UA's are now making them with a translucent tip at the heel. But the other points in the video should help.
i got mines from finishline they look real but the stitching is white does that mean there fake? if so im taking them back
Finish Line doesn't sell fake sneakers, however is yours a GS size? Could be the difference.
+SneakerFiles.com mines have white stitching also. Size 10
Ugly Musa Where did you buy them from?
are flexilble? cos most of my jordans are flexible
Shit the so-called fake ones look better then the real ones 😂😂
i dont know why you buy from other stores , when factory that all sneakers resellers buy from is Manderoti.com
