Good morning, this is Taiba, hasa kicks.com and a few days ago I shared an article
0:07
not only on my website but on YouTube as well, about the possible number of pairs of the fire red five that could be made
0:15
And as a response to the article, someone asked me to do a comparison between the fake Jordan 5, Fire Red, and Authentic Pear
0:22
Now, at the time when he asked me the question, I didn't have like an authentic pair on hand to do a side-by-side comparison
0:28
I still don't have one but there was a surprise drop by Nike a few days ago so I was
0:33
able to go on third party marketplaces and fetch legitimate pictures from authentic
0:39
sellers that I could use to pin against the fake one so again when I do this
0:44
comparison this is this isn't meant to be like an exhaustive list where this is
0:48
the standard now there's a lot of other people that are doing better comparisons than I'm doing because they actually have issues on hand but I usually really
0:55
emphasize the fact that this is a preventive method meaning before you even make that purchase if you can watch this and if you can
1:02
help you make a better judgment I'm happy so this is my goal is to do that now
1:07
both shoes using this article are like size 10 so let's jump into it all right
1:12
so I want to use better pictures so I'm gonna go back to this here to show you
1:17
so let's let's look at this here if you look at the side of the shoe this is
1:22
the lateral side if you look at the peak of the parabola here that little shape here the peak is higher
1:27
and on the authentic pair. This is what I put number one here
1:31
The green line is showing you that. You see, on the fake pair, the gap is not as high
1:36
If you look at the base of the parabola or the base of that little shape
1:41
is wider on the fake pair. You see how wide it is? You see, this is wider, and the inclination is not even the same
1:48
Look at the inclination here. You see? So this is wider. And then on three I show you that the part here the gap between the edge of the part and the and the stitching is wider on the authentic authentic pair and smaller These are both size 10 so technically they should look the same Now I wanted to mention the difference in the color but sometimes lighting can affect it
2:09
so I'm not going to emphasize that too much, but you can see that there's a clear difference here
2:14
This is like a brighter red, and this is almost like a lighter red kind of
2:18
Now, next picture, we're going to look at the back of the shoe. Again, if you look at the back here, you see this, this, this, uh
2:25
this shape at the heel here the liner the little tab on the back here this extend higher
2:31
and on the authentic pair and the fake pair it doesn't even look the same it's just the shape is
2:36
completely off the base is like flat on the authentic pair is like a little more curvy and if you
2:42
look at the inclination here the inclination is a little wider on the authentic pair than it is on the
2:47
fake pair again if you look at the stitching on the gap between the stitching and the Nike text
2:53
and the fake pair is wider on the authentic pair is a smaller it's a smaller gap again these two
2:59
are sizes 10 so they should technically look the same if you look at the air text is the letters
3:05
are co-linear on the authentic pair they are on the same line everything is lined up properly
3:09
but on the fake pair look at the one the i is a little higher a is down you know it's just not
3:15
collinear it's just bad classmanship we're going to look at the next slide here let's look at this
3:23
Here, there's a lot of things, you know, the shark teeth. Like, they just don't look the same
3:28
They are more elevated. They are more like higher on the authentic pair. If you see the green here, see what this is how far it goes
3:35
Look at how far it goes on the authentic pair. Okay. And if you look at even the in between the indentation here, this is not the same
3:43
You can see the differences. This is, look at the gap between this and this
3:46
And look at this gap here. It's not the same. And then at the bottom at the outside, there's an indentation here that you can
3:53
clearly see how defined it is on the authentic pair On the fake one there nowhere to be seen You don even see that It just looks like just a little half a circle here you don even see this gap in here you don see any of it and if you look the authentic pair you can see through it it is transparent you can see that there
4:09
clear definition here on the fake pair you can't even see through it at all it's not even
4:14
translucent at all look at it okay and now if you look at the the the material used on the
4:23
fake pair the leather here is almost like some really really bad synthetic leather on the fake
4:29
on the fake pair you can see there's a little bit of wrinkles here which indicates and it's like
4:34
some some form of a softer tumble leather you can see that difference there right next thing we're
4:40
going to talk about is the netting now usually the netting you can clearly see like on the fake pairs
4:47
use the fake pair that i've seen the netting is really it's a hard plastic it's not soft at all on the
4:52
authentic pair it's a softer plastic that they use if you put your fingers on it it's a softer
4:57
plastic and it's durable and this thing you can easily i mean you push hard enough that thing is
5:03
going to break it's a harder plastic but it's like breakable it's kind of like glass almost and you can
5:08
even see the difference in the in the color you know like you can see it clearly is the different
5:13
plastic that they use here all right and the next thing we're going to talk about is the
5:18
the box label now there's a lot of things you have to mention now obviously the you
5:22
PC code is the same but look at the tank the gap between the one and the zero
5:27
You see they are like pretty close together here this is wider space here
5:32
Look at the label, the top of the label. I don't know if they ripped it, but it's not even uniform
5:36
Look at it. It's not even lined up. It's cut up here and there's all this thing. You see, it's supposed to be like this
5:41
And if you look at the letters and the front of the letters, even the jump man here, it's like yellow
5:47
This is like some kind of subtle gold. This is how much
5:52
how much brighter it is on here. Okay now the next thing I want to talk about is the QR code and the RFID identifiers Now this QR code it can easily be duplicated they could just take a picture of it and put it on here and if you
6:06
if you scan it it takes you to Nike's website even the fake one can do that so that's
6:11
not a big big deal but the RFID identifier that's different is unique to the
6:16
shoe so this is just a make-believe placebo identifier they put over here although
6:21
that they have it it means nothing because behind this label if you rip the label there's like an antenna there and I'll show you something on my website now let's go
6:29
here if you see I wrote an article and I actually put it on YouTube you can actually go and
6:34
watch it if you rip the label there's an antenna behind here this is the antenna now that
6:39
antenna connects with the RFID reader and it has stored in it this thing here has stored in it
6:45
all the information of the shoe like where it was produced and all that kind of stuff all the
6:50
information is stored in there okay so and it's unique to the shoe so you can't
6:54
have two RFID it's almost like your DNA it's like unique to that particular
6:59
shoe this is our understanding I may be wrong but I think that's what it is so
7:04
basically if you rip your label you see that maybe they might the fake one might put
7:10
a fake one looking like this but if you have an RFID really that's how you can
7:13
bust these things but again I share if you go on my website I'll share it I go
7:19
into more details about it you can go and watch this video I'm gonna put it on
7:23
description below and it shows you how you can actually authenticate your own
7:27
shoe from your own house now it doesn't mean that they won't put a fake shoe in
7:32
authentic in authentic box they can do that too so again you just have to be more
7:36
careful and just use your common sense when it comes on to these things okay
7:40
now if you want to buy authentic pairs I'm gonna have a description for you in
7:44
the link again I'm gonna provide in the description and you can you can I'm
7:49
gonna provide a link in the description and you can buy it all right again thanks for watching this is Typhamasa kicks and i hope this helps you guys out thank you very much and have a wonderful day
