Hi sneaker fam, 

Good day, welcome to Luckjerseys!

Luckjerseys is not only sell 1:1 products, but also a community based on the discussion of the replica culture. If you want more info, you can adapt some of the information on the Repsneakers Wiki for your fashion purposes. Today we talk the topic how to spot fake shoes or identify the quality level. 

There are below indicators to spot difference from many details:

1: Stitching

The best stitching is the hole is small, steady, not loose,  line looks like smooth, nature.

2: Jumpman Logo 

Checking the jumpman logo shape on the shoe tongue, shoes back, outsole. A good pair, jumpman logo shape should be correct and stitching are not loose. Also you could find if there is a nose tip. 

3: Glue

Checking the glue if obviously showing and found around the shoe side. A good pair, should be clean and neat. 

4: Material

A good pair, they are made of the same materials as retails, including the leather, mesh, cushion, middle soles, outsole, insole, shoes laces, tongue. Top 1:1 ones, can be same as retails more than 90%, the biggest difference will be the stamp numbers on the footbed or insole text. 

5: Unreleased sneakers

Sometimes, you can find some unreleased models on the internet website for sale, those are Rep/UA. Official ones are sitting there for pre-promotion only not sale.

6: Shoes Box size and pack paper

Normally, UA/Rep's shoes boxe size is smaller than retails, smaller shoe boxes are better for individual shipping. lower quality and middle quality sneakers, shoes boxes are same as top quality, but the packing paper normally are different from top quality, top quality are same as retails. 

7: Extra shoes laces

Top quality sneakers, come with the same shoes extra laces with retail ( same shoes laces color, quality, quantity, shoes laces bag)

8: Toe box

Some models but not all, toe box is higher than retail, but 1:1 copy, they are proper height. 

9: Smell

1:1 copy they are not with bad smell. If you order the low quality, the shoes will come with odd smell. 

10: Shoes weight

1:1 ones, their shoe weight almost are same as retail, low quality ones, their weight is much lighter. 

11: Foot feeling

A good pair, feel very good as retail when fit on foot. 

12: Shoes colorway color

A good pair, the colorway detailed color are correct as same as retail.  Some models, color is off. 

13: Swoosh 

Swoosh should be correct and smooth. 

14: Wing size

wing size should be correct, not too big or too small and centered. 

15: Tongue

Tongue letters font and the fabric thickness. A good pair, the tongue fabric thickness should be not thick or thin.

16: Hourglasses

Checking the Air jordan 1s hourglass if they are look great. 

17: Shoes footbed stamp numbers

From my experience, some retail models' footbed are with stamp numbers, some models are without them. 

18: Insole text

Normally, the font of text and text color on the insoles, some models are different from retail, but not all. 

19: High heel cut height

Normally, high heel cut height is not too high or too low. It is about 3cm.

20: Sneaker whole height

21: Black light test

22: Sneaker toe box tab, distance of placement, shoe back tab, embroidery, shoes laces holes and other details, for example, air jordan 4 wing texture/netting system.

23: Sneaker size

Most 1:1 sneakers, the biggest size go to US13, but insole length only go to 30.5cm, but not all shoes size 13 only go to 30.5cm. Correct length should be 31cm. Sure, some styles are correct length, suggest measure your order shoes' insole before shipping to make sure you can get the correct size.
