How Many Pairs Of Jordan 13 Luck Green made, Resale Value, & Buy It Now https://bit.ly/3iVvUuQ Where To Buy The Jordan 14 Hyper Royal https://bit.ly/2ZW5ul3 The Jordan 14 Hyper Royal released this past Saturday and was relatively limited. I was fortunate enough to pick up a pair with the sole purpose of pinning it against fake pairs that are already circulating. It’s always hard to do a side by side comparison when both the authentic and the replica pairs are not in hands. I had to fetch images of the counterfeit pairs online for this presentation. Here is how to quickly identify the fake air jordan 14 hyper royal.

hey what's going on guys uh this is ty
0:02
from assetkicks.com
0:03
and today we are going to learn how to
0:05
spot the fake
0:07
jordan 14 hyper royal now this came out
0:09
on saturday it was
0:11
relatively limited but i had a chance to
0:13
like go there and get it
0:15
so i went to my local mall stood in the
0:17
line because then
0:18
i guess they got their shipment a little
0:19
late so i was able to snatch a size
0:21
uh on 12 actually sold the shoe already
0:25
but i got some pictures together for you
0:27
and did a side by side comparison
0:29
between the fake
0:30
that i've seen online unfortunately i
0:32
don't have the fake on hand so it's a
0:33
lot harder
0:34
i had a guy that actually was sending me
0:36
a fake shoe for me to do the comparison
0:38
but
0:39
but he stopped because he wanted me to
0:40
promote his fakes and i told him
0:42
dude the only thing that i can do is
0:43
just do the comparison but that came
0:45
from what you're fixed
0:46
so i guess he didn't want to send the
0:47
shoe to me anymore so hey it is what it
0:49
is and
0:50
that's all right i'm going to go back to
0:52
what i used to do so i have
0:54
the authentic on hand right now i have
0:56
it but i'm going to show you how to
0:58
authenticate your own shoe so let's
1:00
start off with this
1:01
the pictures and by the way before i get
1:03
into that i actually talked about the
1:05
jordan 13 lucky green this is coming out
1:07
on saturday
1:08
and it's going to cost about 190 so i
1:10
wrote an article this morning
1:12
talking about how many pairs were made
1:14
resale value
1:15
and where to get the shoes so if you
1:17
want to read the article
1:19
these are available on my website now
1:21
house of kicks.com
1:22
check the link in the description i'll
1:23
give you the link for it if you want to
1:25
buy the shoe now
1:26
you can also do that so i will invite
1:28
you to check that out today
1:30
so let's go back to why we are here
1:33
so now the first thing i'm going to
1:35
start with is the tongue
1:36
okay let me move my picture out of the
1:38
way now the first thing you want to see
1:40
is this like if you look at the
1:41
the holes on the extension on the tongue
1:43
on the fake pair the holes are like
1:45
very small you can see how small they
1:47
are and they are more distant
1:48
uh from one to the next like they are
1:51
the distance between the holes is like
1:53
wider on the on the fake pair than it is
1:55
on the authentic i'm going to give you a
1:56
closer look if you see on my here my
1:58
holes are like bigger
1:59
when the distance between them is like
2:00
uh smaller on the authentic
2:03
okay that's one thing is the holes on
2:04
there on the extension of the tank
2:07
and the next thing again we're going to
2:09
go back to the tongue again now if you
2:10
look
2:11
closely at at the uh this portion of it
2:14
you can see that it's like some kind of
2:16
a hexagonal shape it looks like a
2:18
honeycomb
2:19
on the authentic and the fake where is
2:21
nowhere to be seen those shapes are like
2:23
blur you can't even see it you can't see
2:25
the definition you can't see that
2:26
if you look at your shoe closing now
2:28
you'll see these hexagonal shapes
2:30
and also on the jordan text now i looked
2:33
at
2:34
my size i'm like maybe just because my
2:36
size is size 12 this is why
2:38
this jordan text is like placed right
2:40
there he almost fills the entire
2:42
tongue tab and there's basically no
2:45
spacing between the o
2:46
and the edge on the fake where you can
2:48
see that they put that
2:49
jordan it's like almost like i just sent
2:51
to the top and there's a lot of there's
2:52
a gap here at the bottom
2:54
i thought it's because of the size of
2:56
the shoe but it didn't have anything to
2:57
do with the size
2:58
you can check your shoe as well i might
3:00
be wrong but what i've seen is this
3:02
there is no spaces on my
3:04
authentic pair now i'm also going to
3:06
show you that this insert here the blue
3:08
inside is kind of busted and fixed
3:10
and you're going to see a lot of that on
3:11
like fake shoes okay
3:13
now the next thing we're going to talk
3:14
about is the carbon fiber
3:16
now the carbon fiber you can see like
3:19
this picture doesn't do justice so i'm
3:20
going to show you other pictures but on
3:22
my
3:22
on on the on the authentic the carbon
3:24
fiber is like vibrant
3:26
it's like really glossy and shiny on the
3:28
fake is like dull and flat
3:30
i'm going to show you a picture you you
3:31
see right away you see the difference
3:33
here
3:33
you see how much more vibrant it is on
3:35
the authentic vibrant it's more like you
3:37
can kind of see it it's glossy
3:39
on the fake face like dull and just
3:41
dormant it's just really flat
3:43
okay and may i also mention that this
3:45
blue here this
3:46
is like shiny it's really like vibrant
3:49
on the fake where it's like dull and
3:51
the paint job is just really poor on it
3:53
i'm gonna show you another on
3:54
another picture of the the carbon fiber
3:57
let me get that
3:59
see here okay look at it you see
4:02
like you can tell the difference between
4:04
the authentic and the fake pair the fake
4:06
is like really just
4:08
like flat man like you can't see it and
4:10
on the authentic
4:11
this blue highlight like i said is
4:12
really shiny sparkly on the fake pair
4:15
it's not
4:16
it's just not it's just very flat and
4:18
this is things that jumps out you when
4:19
you see
4:20
both shoes like uh next to one another
4:23
and then the next thing
4:24
one of the big mistakes too is uh
4:26
actually before i get to that let me
4:27
show you the back
4:28
now the back of the shoe that's one
4:29
thing that i also wanted to mention i
4:31
hesitated but i'm like you know what let
4:32
me mention this
4:33
if you take your shoe if you are in a
4:36
closed space not outside your house
4:38
this tire track should be off white it
4:41
shouldn't be like
4:42
snow white so you can tell the
4:44
difference here like this is outside so
4:46
obviously it's going to be snow white
4:47
but for you inside it should be
4:50
like off-white and then the gap between
4:52
the the 23
4:53
and the edge of the midsole is like
4:55
smaller on the authentic pair
4:57
now i i was like maybe should i mention
5:00
that because this is my size a size 12.
5:02
but i looked at like size 9 online
5:04
size 10 this gap here was always
5:07
smaller like this on the authentics and
5:09
the fake where the gap is much wider
5:12
that's one thing you want to keep in
5:13
mind too okay so do that
5:15
and then the biggest thing that i've
5:16
noticed was the bottom here the air
5:19
chamber this is like
5:20
high high technology so nike knows what
5:23
what nike is doing
5:24
even you can see here you see like this
5:26
netting here you can see the grill you
5:28
can see the holes and it says halfway
5:30
on the fake press like all over there it
5:34
occupies the entire space and i don't
5:35
even see the holes i don't even know if
5:37
you could get any cooling
5:38
from this fake bear you don't even see
5:40
it's almost like closed it's like it
5:41
closed the window
5:43
i don't even know why they have it so
5:44
it's pretty bad
5:46
pretty bad you can see it i'm gonna give
5:47
you a closer look at it and i'm gonna
5:49
show you on my shoe you see
5:50
you can see here this is halfway you can
5:52
see the netting you can see the hose
5:54
right here
5:55
nothing all right and then
5:58
another thing that i wanted to show you
6:00
is the
6:01
the grooves at the bottom let's look at
6:03
that
6:04
now if you look at the authentic like
6:07
the peaks
6:07
are very pointy like you can see this
6:10
like these picks are like plenty
6:11
on the fake where they're like curvy
6:13
like you see there's like curves
6:14
it's not very pointy here see that
6:18
i'm gonna give you a closer look at it
6:19
you can see what i'm talking about you
6:20
see that
6:22
see this is pointy and this is like
6:24
curvy
6:25
you can look at your shoe and check that
6:27
out for yourself
6:28
and then the last thing we are going to
6:30
talk about is the label
6:32
the inside label now oftentimes
6:35
people want to talk about the production
6:37
date okay the production date to me is
6:40
important it's an important piece
6:41
because this fake hair was was produced
6:44
on
6:44
january the 22nd so it's an earlier
6:47
production date
6:48
the authentic the production didn't
6:50
start like the 19th of february
6:52
on repair that i have on hand now your
6:54
premier says something else
6:55
but i think if i come across a shoe that
6:58
looks like this i'm not even going to
6:59
bother to buy it i'm just going to stay
7:01
away from it and then i wanted to
7:03
mention this gap
7:04
on this line now is it important for me
7:06
to mention this guy but i think it is
7:08
because on my authentic pair there is a
7:10
gap on the fake player i don't see a gap
7:12
should i mention it of course and also i
7:15
wanted to mention the fact that
7:17
the the uh the inside level is placed
7:20
almost like
7:20
an inch away from the top of this uh
7:24
the inside of the tank on the authentic
7:26
on the fake where the gap is wider
7:28
should i mention it i think i should
7:29
mention it
7:30
and if you look at the contour itself
7:33
like you can see that there's like a
7:34
clear definition here here i feel like
7:36
it's homogeneous you don't really see
7:37
the contrast
7:38
and if you look at the inside of the
7:40
label the the writings
7:42
the front is barely legible you can't
7:44
really decipher what is written over
7:45
there on the
7:46
on the authentic it's really clear so
7:49
those are things i feel like i still
7:50
need to mention
7:52
now to give you a quick recap i want to
7:54
show you
7:55
my shoe and i want to tell you exactly
7:57
what to look for
7:59
so this is the shoe that i have this is
8:00
authentic so the first thing you want to
8:01
look at is this like i mentioned
8:03
earlier you're going to look at this
8:05
jordan here right
8:06
this jordan now you see mine is occupies
8:09
the entire space
8:10
on the fake pair we saw that there was a
8:12
space between the o
8:14
and the bottom the space was really
8:16
really like
8:17
significant and also you want to look at
8:19
the honeycomb here on the
8:20
under your tongue i don't know if you
8:22
can see it on my uh or my
8:24
camera here is not really doing it
8:25
justice but we're not gonna wait uh
8:27
waste time on that
8:28
and the next thing is you want to look
8:30
at uh this
8:32
this air chamber here see on the
8:34
authentic is halfway
8:36
on the fake where you occupy the entire
8:38
space you can't even see it on the
8:40
on on the fake wire like you can't even
8:42
see it you see on mine you see how clear
8:44
this is a halfway
8:45
and then the carbon fiber is really
8:47
shiny on my authentic pair
8:49
and then we're going to look at the
8:50
grooves the grooves are pointy
8:52
on the authentics and like and then
8:54
curve you on there on the fake prayer
8:56
so i'm just giving you a quick recap but
8:57
just watch the entire thing and you'll
8:59
see what i'm talking about if you see
9:00
that the back of my shoe here is like
9:02
off-white it's not like snow white
9:04
okay and the spacing we talked about our
9:06
spacing as well just go back and
9:08
re-watch the entire video
9:09
