Bro, those are both real. Ike doesn't always use the same factory to build their shoes. And the factories get in all sorts of different samples of leather. Nike also contracts different printers for its boxes so they don't all come out the same. I also the differences in sizes could accounts for the difference in the quality of materials being used. If they came from a reputable and authorized reseller, and haven't been tampered with, their both authentic The 23 text font is the same thickness as the authentics, I thinks it's good.
Vicat Mauricio i wish ppl understood that shit you just talked on....If ppl think jordans in made in state of Oregon at the Nike HQ ...and distributed world wide from that one location they nuts... they are "**TRUE there are Fakes out there"**... but this dude is buggin on THIS one
When were all paying $200 for god dam shoes there should be absolutely zero reason for quality control issues guys. Shits absurd how theyre basically stealin from ppl. If i went anywhere else and forked out $200 to $400 dollars a month or so for dam anything(tires, haircuts, drugs lol food, alcohol, gas) my shit better be on point with no fugazi shit mayne. Sad to see Nike just slackin.
Ik this is late but I think the reason the shoes are a little off is because jordan brand didn't put these through QC and in result the flawed shoes came to retailers.
who cares. I'll rock the fakes. You can get em for $40 online. 😂😂 I'll just pull my pants leg down over em. 💯💯💯 I ain't looking at another man's feet anyway. Fakes get a pass in my book.😂😂
Real Honest im with you fakes are looking to real these days since 2000s or 90s you literally have to takes shoes off some body feet to really tell anything 😂
Never willfully bought fakes or UA's, but this is why i don't shit on those who do.. I have gotten some seriously suspect retail pairs, so who knows what the fucks going on....
Seriously. The whole time we were thinking the one from footaction was off, but people saying the one from champs is wrong lol! Saying it should not be that reptile looking. Who knows any more. Sad day when you can't tell reps from real anymore
So flaws means fake? Lmao. Now Nike themselves releasing fake shoes. GTFOH. Air Jordan's have had flaws since 1985, they are only blown up because people have this outlet called the World Wide Web. Get over yourselves.
Minor flaws, I know a chick who worked directly for the great Nike folk... She told me go to outlets a week after any Js or whatever drop about 15-20% are labeled as "b-grade" or flawed after construction they pass through a computer eye and it scans em, the flawed ones end up in outlets... Got a pair of Bel-Air 5s in the outlet for $150 back when they dropped... A machine scuff and miss lined inner lining in the insole...
The red on the side has to line up straight down the middle of the shoe use a pencil and the red sides the reptile texture can't be popping out so much it's a smooth it's like both shoes has there flaws cause you can tell fake ones by the scale texture and the sticking in the back of shoe
Based on what I hear and the ones I received from Finish Line, the texture is supposed to be flat. I purchased some for my son on Nike.com and they are also flat. Nike is just very inconsistent regarding quality. Ultimately their shoes are made in China, probably in the same factories as the UA.
I think they're both real the factories hand make them so of course not every shoe is going to be exact exactly identical but I can see the differences in the reptile skin ones poppin and the other is smooth.
I work at a plant that make seats for a hyundai. These seats are mass produced and you are rushed to hit targets. Flaws will come in anything mass production company I know this for a fact. Even the material come from another company will have flaws. Each part of the shoe probably come from another company that let a flaw material get by. But I think they are from a legit source just got a flawed pair
the shoes not fake jordan is just a finesser if y'all haven't realized da quality on his shoes are not as good as they used to be he switched to a cheaper factory "spending less & making more" I work at a shoe store alot of these Jays commin like dat dats how I know
I see the flaws but when I got mine from finish line a small chunk of leather was missing like someone took a knife and cut the top layer of the tumbled leather, I just think that there was a mass production in the shoe and a rush to get these out.... Quality was prob a lil poor on some but hey we wanted Quantity guess that's what u get
I copped two pair one from Footaction and one from Hibbets and they are the same way one kinda different from the other. I think it's a factory flaw now that I see yours are the same way.
I think they're both real but one seems like someone actually WORE it and the other one looks like a slightly smaller size and hasn't been worn either.
I know I’m getting to the video about 4 years to late, but from all the research I’ve done recently, this both look legit. One of the tells is that transparent piece on the top of the heal rubber. Fake ones are solid red right there. The form of the shoe is the same. I’ve seen enough 12s to know that the jumpman tab on the side is sometimes a little off, but on the fakes that tab is way bigger. Just quality control issues.
Cool video for sure. I can be honest I've been wearing fake AirMaxs for years and I love it. I have real 2015s and I ordered the identical version for work and honestly they wear the same. Only difference I can buy 3 pairs for the price of one. I used to spend more than I care to admit on shoes but not anymore
got gym reds from footaction saturday and toe box is off, the wrap around leather doesnt line up with the little line coming from the sole, both shoes off. now everybody gunna think they fake but its the only pair i got and i picked them up myself from footaction, i may send them back, jb becoming junk, they hard as a rock too. im afraid if i drop them they gunna break
I thnk the size 10s are a UA PAIR! Have a look on the T' on the two on the toungue..If the T is skinny and thin thn its a replica or if u screw up the toungue it should shape back up but it doesnt thn u already knw!
Yelps welcome to j.b inconsistency 💯checking out ur old vids bro great content . Have a question? What stops someone from going to a retailer buying a real pair and switching a fake for a real pair's scary hopefully they got ways to tell ! Because I got js that had flawed city from retailers?
These factory flaws are common in mass produced retail items. These are not custom hand made sneakers. These sneakers are not made with the same precision as high end Italian and Spanish dress shoes. Nothing is going on with the production. Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Puma, Fila, etc. have always had factory inconsistencies. You must be new to the sneaker game.
Two different factories making the sneaker from Indonesia to China making Jordan’s now only China making the sneaker quality is much cheaper than it was. even though China makes great sneakers for other company’s Jordan’s after 2010 are not durable any more
they're both authentic it's just each pair of shoes that are made are not gonna be exactly identical... the difference you see in each pair are just a factory flaw but they are authentic... if you end up getting a pair that's fake it will be obvious cause you will be able to tell that something is off but if your just seeing little flaws in it then you're pair is fine especially if you got it from Nike or any legit shoe store
bro line up the front of the shoe its supposed to be centerted from the rubber to the leather. then lift the sole if its black and white stiching its a ua pair. but trust me its hard to tell besides those details.
I copped a pair a week before release from eBay and they looked legit but when I really looked at them they had similar flaws to what you pointed out. Ultimately, on the heel tab where it should say "Quality inspired by the greatest ever." Mine said "Quality inspred by the greatest player ever." I could accept all the other flaws but that....even with the box being smaller than my Masters and French Blues. I sent them back for a refund...so good video. Keep it up, brotha
That shoe ain't fake just some minor ass differences. I've working in quality for years, and if they got that damn picky about what they send out the door people like who love sneaker would never get a damn thing
Idk cj!! I pulled out my pair from nike and they look exactly like the size 12 . I think nike/jordan brand has a certain standards when it come to quality control and some of the pairs released to retail just barely make the cut !! anyways keep up the hard work and love the channel!!!
Nah. That size 12 is legit. I bought a jordan 12 french blue and obsidian directly from Nike store and I got those flat, almost smooth texture on the mud guard. There are multiple factories doing it and some factories QC are trash.
Could footaction be selling fakes 🤔🤔 bc i noticed they seem be only store that restock alot on js after they sell out crazy how just been restocking em like that?
I think its a factory flaw. If anything foot locker, champs, foot action, or even shoe palace would get fined and possibly get closed down for selling fakes. I've seen it happen quite a few times. They both look real if you ask me.
They are sewed by people on sewing machines and I work as a upholsterer and all the things u are pointing out is were they don't line everything up because they made so many of these shoes for real 🤔I have had 5 pairs of these with one being a replica and the difference in crazy of all the shoes
We can appreciate the video but if someone is really looking at your shoes that close while you have them on ur feet then u need yo ass whooped for letting them get that close to determine the Authenticity of them.
Also, Tab placement varies even on the same pairs. Reference my last comment on quality. SMH. I have Masters and FLu games from Nike.com and the tabs or off even when you compare left shoe to the right shoe. All these quality issues make it very difficult to tell UAs from Authentic. SMH
I don't know man. if I were to pick these up, these aren't too drastic to call them fake. but still, you want your kicks to be totally legit. I see where you're coming from but I wouldn't sweat it. keep it up Cjcity!
New Sneaker Battle is LIVE! CjCity Vs DC (NFL safety) ua-cam.com/video/g5Ljw2WUHOs/v-deo.html&lc=UgzH8RfhUgF7ZnMNMaZ4AaABAg Who Won??
Semd me tne dakes I'll buy them
Back then, fake Jordans actually looked fake. These days, the "fakes" are just creations from old factory employees.
I KeepsItFranklin and bbfsaa
Fake jordan 1s have gotten so good that the leather quality if actually better on the fakes.
Ahhh Man yeah now they charge 200 for fakes tho u could get fakes for 50 bucks in 2008
Play Station nah fakes are like 160. i can get some offwhites for 180
It would be different scenario if it comes at Dhgate
If u looking this hard at somebody shoe god bless
I think you wasted 6mins and 32seconds of alot if ppl lives. Both shoes are legit
Right Away it’s kind of your fault for clicking on the video in the first place
Thank you for saving people time
if you at a party or a mall and you notice these minor, minor, minor flaws. You need to get a life.
No one here to figure out who got fake shoes on. We here to not get ripped off guy
lol sounds like you got some fakes In your closet bruh
How else we gonna know real from fake ur a clown
Bro, those are both real. Ike doesn't always use the same factory to build their shoes. And the factories get in all sorts of different samples of leather. Nike also contracts different printers for its boxes so they don't all come out the same.

Vicat Mauricio Boy fishing 4 real!
Vicat Mauricio hey does anybody here know if Jamaica avenue got fakes jordans ever?
Say it louder for the people in the back‼️🤦🏽♂️
What if they both fake 😂😂😂
Or there not real or fake?
Not fake just quality control issues
When were all paying $200 for god dam shoes there should be absolutely zero reason for quality control issues guys. Shits absurd how theyre basically stealin from ppl.
If i went anywhere else and forked out $200 to $400 dollars a month or so for dam anything(tires, haircuts, drugs lol food, alcohol, gas) my shit better be on point with no fugazi shit mayne. Sad to see Nike just slackin.
No 2 shoe is exact. Manufacturers make the same shoe over and over. That leads to wear on equipment and human error flaws.
When Some Asks you is your shoes fake just hit em with a "Well they aint invisible"
talking potato lmao.. say "no they r real , they r definitely real shoes."
Ik this is late but I think the reason the shoes are a little off is because jordan brand didn't put these through QC and in result the flawed shoes came to retailers.
who cares. I'll rock the fakes. You can get em for $40 online. 😂😂 I'll just pull my pants leg down over em. 💯💯💯 I ain't looking at another man's feet anyway. Fakes get a pass in my book.😂😂
Real Honest watch out for those little sneaker heads that be like that nigga wearing fakes out loud
carlos ortiz fr😂
Real Honest im with you fakes are looking to real these days since 2000s or 90s you literally have to takes shoes off some body feet to really tell anything 😂
Real Honest fr 💯💯
real shit exactly what im saying fuck paying $200..if it looks the same idc ill rock em
I will rock all fake shoes thumbs up if you can to
Not j's, i rock my fake Nikes but i can't do that to j's lol
They all come from china! I rock fakes all day.
your buggin homie those r both legit lol
can i have all the fakes
Never willfully bought fakes or UA's, but this is why i don't shit on those who do.. I have gotten some seriously suspect retail pairs, so who knows what the fucks going on....
Seriously. The whole time we were thinking the one from footaction was off, but people saying the one from champs is wrong lol! Saying it should not be that reptile looking. Who knows any more. Sad day when you can't tell reps from real anymore
+CjcityTv Reps are really good now lol
CjcityTv mn
footaction is a legit retailer for jordan.
You gotta love the “experts “‼️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂 Bro they are both official.
Guy sounds like snoop dog
footaction would never sell you unauthorized or b grades...although it is possible employees can switch there unauthorized pairs for the real pairs.
Unless one of the employees switched them out‼️💡
Best looking fakes I've ever seen
So flaws means fake? Lmao. Now Nike themselves releasing fake shoes. GTFOH. Air Jordan's have had flaws since 1985, they are only blown up because people have this outlet called the World Wide Web. Get over yourselves.
Kinda scary, I work hard for my money an feel good whenever I cop som new kicks. I'd be pissed if I payed $220 for some fakes
Spud real ones shouldnt even cost 200...150 max
BOTH shoes look EXACTLY the same!!
Minor flaws, I know a chick who worked directly for the great Nike folk... She told me go to outlets a week after any Js or whatever drop about 15-20% are labeled as "b-grade" or flawed after construction they pass through a computer eye and it scans em, the flawed ones end up in outlets... Got a pair of Bel-Air 5s in the outlet for $150 back when they dropped... A machine scuff and miss lined inner lining in the insole...
none of any shoe is exactly perfect or thw same, just minor factory errors dont worry bro
the overlay on the right shoe looks like the texture on a bball, rather than the "reptile"
but hopefully the guy in the back didnt finesse him cuz thats fucked up. straight up, the sneaker gods will hit him with karma
The Legit ones are suppose to have the reptile look right? Not the smooth bball look...
CjcityTv my cousin, friend, and i all copped a pair. they have the reptile look
Check the jumpman and see if its placed in middle lol
WELL DAMN FOOTACTION I BEEN GETTING FAKE JORDANS FROM YALL HAHAHA
The red on the side has to line up straight down the middle of the shoe use a pencil and the red sides the reptile texture can't be popping out so much it's a smooth it's like both shoes has there flaws cause you can tell fake ones by the scale texture and the sticking in the back of shoe
On mine I got from finishline the left shoe has the reptile print and on the right its flat
bruh i got a pair from nike like that i was salty af nike just did a horrible job with the flu games
Based on what I hear and the ones I received from Finish Line, the texture is supposed to be flat. I purchased some for my son on Nike.com and they are also flat. Nike is just very inconsistent regarding quality. Ultimately their shoes are made in China, probably in the same factories as the UA.

Even the material come from another company will have flaws. Each part of the shoe probably come from another company that let a flaw material get by. But I think they are from a legit source just got a flawed pair
It's just the factory
the shoes not fake jordan is just a finesser if y'all haven't realized da quality on his shoes are not as good as they used to be he switched to a cheaper factory "spending less & making more" I work at a shoe store alot of these Jays commin like dat dats how I know
I see the flaws but when I got mine from finish line a small chunk of leather was missing like someone took a knife and cut the top layer of the tumbled leather, I just think that there was a mass production in the shoe and a rush to get these out....

I copped two pair one from Footaction and one from Hibbets and they are the same way one kinda different from the other. I think it's a factory flaw now that I see yours are the same way.
They aren't fake but they are what we call "b grades"
The heel tabs fine the make the loop bigger with size 12 so bigger people can fit their finger through
Tell the Homie to Send the Fake to me. I’m a qualified Jordan Authenticator. If it turns out they are fake I will properly dispose of them for you.
I think they're both real but one seems like someone actually WORE it and the other one looks like a slightly smaller size and hasn't been worn either.

I seen glue on the right one . I've brought my kid the flu game from Nike store I was so upset when i seen the glue on mines smh
same on mine
some shoes have em dont mean they fake
yea, I got em too, don't mean they fake
all of them do just means theyre deadstock @OnshateDavidson
Onshate Davidson wahhhhhh
It's called bad quality control. Multiple factories with inconsistent process and quietly control. Anything side by side will have disparity
Aye, some people may have this question but whats that spinning display in your room?
got gym reds from footaction saturday and toe box is off, the wrap around leather doesnt line up with the little line coming from the sole, both shoes off. now everybody gunna think they fake but its the only pair i got and i picked them up myself from footaction, i may send them back, jb becoming junk, they hard as a rock too. im afraid if i drop them they gunna break
The midsole wave is sharper on the 10 and more waved out on the 12.
did you check the production date?
I thnk the size 10s are a UA PAIR! Have a look on the T' on the two on the toungue..If the T is skinny and thin thn its a replica or if u screw up the toungue it should shape back up but it doesnt thn u already knw!
Yelps welcome to j.b inconsistency 💯checking out ur old vids bro great content . Have a question? What stops someone from going to a retailer buying a real pair and switching a fake for a real pair's scary hopefully they got ways to tell ! Because I got js that had flawed city from retailers?
check the insoles i got a pair size 10 from champs and the bottom of my insole was blue every other pair i have it's grayish black
I don't if it's just me or almost every time a cop a pair of jays the left shoe always looks better than the right pair than the leathers don't match
That happened this year with the 12s. Sadly not all of the reptile scales were the same
These factory flaws are common in mass produced retail items. These are not custom hand made sneakers. These sneakers are not made with the same precision as high end Italian and Spanish dress shoes. Nothing is going on with the production. Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Puma, Fila, etc. have always had factory inconsistencies. You must be new to the sneaker game.
My one is retail, and I m telling you, the reptile skin part of my pair looks flat as well....
Two different factories making the sneaker from Indonesia to China making Jordan’s now only China making the sneaker quality is much cheaper than it was. even though China makes great sneakers for other company’s Jordan’s after 2010 are not durable any more
Do Jamaica Ave be havin fake jordans u think?
I mean I've never heard of Foot Action soooooo
it is owned by footlocker dude.
How have you never heard of foot action?
Flawed shoes happen all the time..
We were thinking the same thing but it was about 4 major flaws lol idk
they're both authentic it's just each pair of shoes that are made are not gonna be exactly identical... the difference you see in each pair are just a factory flaw but they are authentic... if you end up getting a pair that's fake it will be obvious cause you will be able to tell that something is off but if your just seeing little flaws in it then you're pair is fine especially if you got it from Nike or any legit shoe store
It's a factory flaw i bought my gamma blues and the head was missing on jordan they gave me another pair tho
bro line up the front of the shoe its supposed to be centerted from the rubber to the leather. then lift the sole if its black and white stiching its a ua pair. but trust me its hard to tell besides those details.
Foot Action doesnt sell fakes. That's either a factory defect or one of the employees switched them out with chinese replicas.
What if you don't have one to compare with
Champs and Footaction both only sell authentics, what are you taking about?
Will u plz upload a video on kd7 ...real n fake...
from vids I've seen of replica Jordan 12 the size 10 looks closer to being a fake
Keep up the good work man😈
Salute!
I copped a pair a week before release from eBay and they looked legit but when I really looked at them they had similar flaws to what you pointed out. Ultimately, on the heel tab where it should say "Quality inspired by the greatest ever." Mine said "Quality inspred by the greatest player ever." I could accept all the other flaws but that....even with the box being smaller than my Masters and French Blues. I sent them back for a refund...so good video. Keep it up, brotha
That's my only problem is the higher Jumpman on the side does that mean they fake? They even got the black sticking in the soles
Did you ever get your customs from that guy?
That shoe ain't fake just some minor ass differences. I've working in quality for years, and if they got that damn picky about what they send out the door people like who love sneaker would never get a damn thing
Idk cj!! I pulled out my pair from nike and they look exactly like the size 12 . I think nike/jordan brand has a certain standards when it come to quality control and some of the pairs released to retail just barely make the cut !! anyways keep up the hard work and love the channel!!!
at the end when he starts reading that shit i was dead. lmfao tf
as long is i don't pay real prices for fake shoes, i don't think id have a problem with it.
Somebody swapped out some kicks at foot action.
Nah. That size 12 is legit. I bought a jordan 12 french blue and obsidian directly from Nike store and I got those flat, almost smooth texture on the mud guard.
There are multiple factories doing it and some factories QC are trash.
rather foot action or champs....both them thangs came from a sweat factory in China an everybody up in there was being rushed on production....
so much stuff into the world today s I never study that hard not even on a test
Nah bruh they both real, I got 2 pairs in the same size 11 and they both got little difference like these, it’s just JB got bad quality on these
Yeah, is say that's a fake. The red material being less embossed couldn't be a flaw, that's different materials or manufacturing processes.
Try taking out the sole's the real ones suppose to have black stitching I'm the inside
Could footaction be selling fakes 🤔🤔 bc i noticed they seem be only store that restock alot on js after they sell out crazy how just been restocking em like that?
Waste of time. Full of speculation.
The red looks different also definite flawed shoe
That may have been due to the lighting. The reds were ok in person
U gotta compare another size 12
compare the feet on the Jumpman, lace on the left foot is a dot on fakes and a point on the real deal Js, most of the time
I think its a factory flaw. If anything foot locker, champs, foot action, or even shoe palace would get fined and possibly get closed down for selling fakes. I've seen it happen quite a few times. They both look real if you ask me.
They are sewed by people on sewing machines and I work as a upholsterer and all the things u are pointing out is were they don't line everything up because they made so many of these shoes for real 🤔I have had 5 pairs of these with one being a replica and the difference in crazy of all the shoes
mfs employees doing switcharoos lol
Maybe bigger sizes are different? 😂 The guy in the back pulled a switcharo with fakes
i would love to see another size to check but to say the least its flawed.
Speaking as a size 13, my shoes nearly always look a little bit different from the smaller sizes. Idk why really.
We can appreciate the video but if someone is really looking at your shoes that close while you have them on ur feet then u need yo ass whooped for letting them get that close to determine the Authenticity of them.
Awesome vid!
Also, Tab placement varies even on the same pairs. Reference my last comment on quality. SMH. I have Masters and FLu games from Nike.com and the tabs or off even when you compare left shoe to the right shoe. All these quality issues make it very difficult to tell UAs from Authentic. SMH
Gotta do all this just to tell if they real or not 😂😂
Btw u need to look up the UPC code to know if it's actually real
the bigger sizes the quality of the shoe won't be the same either the material as the smallest sizes
Maybe One of the the tags look higher because one of the shoes are bigger
I don't know man. if I were to pick these up, these aren't too drastic to call them fake. but still, you want your kicks to be totally legit. I see where you're coming from but I wouldn't sweat it. keep it up Cjcity!
I feel you. It just seems weird. I can accept a flaw but too many differences on the shoe to me. idk
