Donate To Housakicks click on link below https://bit.ly/3hy6thV I was picking up a pair of the New Balance 990 Fast Lane yesterday to fulfill a website order and an interesting event took place. I decided to drop by Jimmy Jazz to see if the store still had any of the Jordan 12 Black University Gold left. I quickly said a prayer to the Lord and decided to only acquire a pair if a size 9.5 was in stock. As soon as I was allowed to walk into the store, the sales associate asked if I wanted the last pair they had in stock, which was a 9.5. I thanked the Lord for the answered prayer and picked it up for the sole purpose of doing a side by side comparison with the replica pair I came across which was also a size 9.5. Like I always before all my comparisons, this is isn’t an exhaustive list of flaws, do your own homework and be sure to check other authentication videos.

Hey what's going on guys this is Taiba has the kickstar come and this evening I'm going to talk about the Jordan 12 black university gold the shoe came out yesterday and I wasn't planning on grabbing him I just went to pick up an order I went to my local downtown locker room to try to pick up the shoe that I sold on my website and I happened to go to Jimmy Jaze and I saw that they had those 12s in the glass display case so I wasn't planning on getting it but I'm a
0:29
like you know see some here and let me grab it in case they have a size nine and a half so i quickly
0:34
pray to the lord i say lord if you want me to grab it it has to be a size nine and a half and sure enough
0:39
i walk into the store and the only size that they had left was it was a nine and a half so i grabbed it
0:44
and my intention for grabbing it was to do a side-by-side comparison so i ended up grabbing it
0:50
and today i'm going to show you how to quickly identify the fake uh 12 on black university
0:56
gold so let's get into it real quick oh before i do that though i want to invite you
0:59
you to take the survey on my website. I work with this company that I really designed
1:04
the survey that allows you to let you know exactly what kind of shoe we're fitting for you
1:09
So please do me a favor and go on my website, housecakes.com, and take the survey
1:14
All right? Again, I appreciate it. So now let's get into the actual comparison
1:19
Again, on both shoes in this comparison are size nine and a half, so I want you to be mindful of that before I get into it
1:25
Because a lot of times, when I do this comparison, guys tend to tell me, hey
1:30
the shoe what you're saying here doesn't make sense because I have a size 12 and this is not okay this is 9 and 1 half so just don't look at the flaws that have to do with sizing or stuff like this just focus on like actual flaws that you see on it like things that are like obvious okay so let's let's get into that so the first thing I want to show you for the 12s they always make these mistakes like the islet like on the fake one you see there's like only two ridges if you if you look on the authentic
2:00
it like three ridges over here there always like they make that mistake all the time with the 12 I don know why they can get it done right but if you see I going to give you a better picture of it you can see that there like extra ridges on here on a fake one you don see that all right and also the fake is not as extended and long as the authentic one all right again both are like size nine and a half so technically they should have the same thing now if you look at the jump man on the authentic pair is almost very legible on the fake one you can even see see the jump man on there it like almost like fading into the actual islet is the leg is not as extended on the on the fake as well all right now this is again
2:40
I'm gonna give you a better look at it if you look at it just zero in under this
2:44
ridges over here look at the extension of it look how long it is and look at the
2:48
jump man itself all right now let's go on to the next thing the next thing I want
2:53
show you is this thing they always mess it up again on on the fake pairs for
2:58
some reason they can get it right if you look at the jump man text on the plastic
3:03
tab like on the authentic pair that's like the this same distance between the the top and
3:09
the top of the edge here and the bottom side it's like right in the middle of it like the
3:13
jump man logo is placed right in the middle of it on the fake one the jump man is
3:17
almost like adjacent to the top side if you see that gap here is like place way too
3:21
high and the other thing they also they also mess up is like this this plastic
3:25
type the way it extends near the end here like on the the authentic usually extends like further on right here is like almost like it's cut right
3:34
here you can see there there's like a I put the arrow there to show you that I'm
3:37
show you another picture to see exactly what I'm talking about this is another
3:41
fake pair you see again this portion doesn't extend further on the authentic
3:47
it extends further here and the jumpman is placed at the right position now here
3:51
it's placed a little bit too high all right I'm gonna give you a better look at it
3:55
again look at it you see that all right Now the next thing we're going to talk about is the back
4:01
They always tend to mess up the back suit. Like if you look at the back tab on the fake pair, again
4:06
there's Jordan, the gap between the Jordan tab and the edge of the midsoul is like bigger on the fake one
4:13
Again, these are two sizes are nine and a half. So keep that in mind when I'm doing this
4:18
They're not, they're the same size, so they should have the same feature. Okay
4:22
Look at the tab on the authentic pair. Like it's the gap between the tab and the midsole
4:27
is like smaller. And then the other thing that I want to point out was the color. The yellow here is like a different yellow. It's more like orangey looking. Here is like a bright yellow and if you look at it like it's translucent a little bit. You can see the black portion of the tab inside of here. You can see that right. And again the yellow color is not the same between both shoes. Again, I don't like to focus too much on color because what happens is sometimes it depends on the lighting. But also I wanted to mention one important thing here. Like if you look at the
4:57
the tab here like on the authentic pair the tab is really wide here you can see that
5:03
there the the extremities or the back is showing you can see that this portion is like almost like sticking out the top covers that on the authentic pair on the
5:14
fake one it doesn't again I'm gonna give you a closer look at it so you can see what I'm talking about you see that look at this this this area here on the fake
5:21
on the authentic pair you don't see that again they are they have both sides nine and a half so the feature should be the same and the next thing I'm gonna show
5:29
you is the this is important too the the inside label they got the the style number of the shoe wrong here like it's
5:38
153265 070 and here shoot this is the right style number and the UPC
5:45
code again is wrong the size 9 and a half UPC code should be the same is wrong
5:50
on this shoe so I think this is probably like they're gonna make this fix better
5:54
I bet you they're gonna come up with a better fake in the matter of like months like a
5:59
couple of months they're gonna come up with a new one now I don't like to mention the factory number this is LN3
6:03
this is VW1 but I'm not going to talk about that because this gets me in trouble so I'm not even going to mention that I just want to mention that the style number is not the same and the UPC code is not the same they should technically have the same UPC code is not the same and the next thing we're going to mention is the inside if you look at the inside of the shoe like the jump man logo is yellow on the authentic and the fake one is like I don't even know like transparent white is all like pill enough because it's a
6:33
bad quality ink that they use on it this is really bad ink so this is why this is
6:38
happening all right and then there's another thing that I wanted to show you I
6:43
usually talk about the QR code and the the RFID I'm gonna show you the shoe
6:50
because I have the shoe on hand right now so I'm gonna show it to you in a second okay let's let's do that real quick and if you look here right if you look at my
6:59
box I almost dropped on my face let me let me go oh my goodness okay this
7:03
This is going to really piss me off right now. Oh boy. This is really pissing me up, man
7:09
Hold on. Okay, there you go. If you look at this box, right
7:14
I'm assuming you can look clearly. Now here, what you have is you have your
7:21
your QR code. The QR code is here and the RFID is right here
7:29
Now if I peel this label, let me peel this label you see. Okay
7:33
I already did that. I'm going to show you to you in a second
7:38
Let me give me one second I going to show that to you If I peel this label okay you will see a metal piece I don know how I set up this camera man it pissing me up okay you can see that
7:50
metal piece right you see that metal piece behind it that silver metal piece has in it
7:56
all the information of the sneaker like maybe the provenance like where it came from
8:01
and all that good stuff like the sizing and everything and this is unique to the shoes
8:05
almost like your DNA so basically this this metal piece here has in it as an
8:12
antenna that connects with the RFID reader so if you scan it it should be able to
8:17
give you all the information of the sneaker all right so now on fake shoes I don't think they're gonna have that because this is a hard like this is expensive
8:24
technology this is why I wanted to show you okay so here what you have this is
8:28
the QR code and this is the RFID the RFID is a little piece here that little
8:32
piece here shows you that there's a metal piece behind you your label if you rip it and you will see that that that little thing there it looks like it's almost
8:40
like the DNA of your sneaker is unique to the shoe okay so now for the QR code what you do is
8:45
you can scan your QR code with your phone just take your phone and then take a picture of it if you
8:51
take to the Nike store if that doesn't happen you know that you have a fake shoe on hand all right
8:55
but a QR code they can easily duplicate it now the RFID is different that is like unique to the
9:00
shoe like I say it so be sure to check those things out now I wanted to make it a quick announcement
9:04
and let me let me minimize this real quick and let's get out of this screen so here's the thing like
9:10
i don't mind doing this like comparison and all that but the problem is there's a lot of fake shoes that i've
9:16
seen like look there's this uh this shoe here this this this is fake this is fake this is fake this is fake this is a lot of
9:23
them all right a lot of them that i've seen that i can do a lot of comparison but the problem is this
9:28
i don't have money to be buying all these things and doing it side by side so if you want to help
9:34
the website go ahead and donate to house the kicks whatever the donation you give me
9:40
will be appreciated because I can use that money to make some investment and give
9:45
you better videos because when I have the shoes on hand it's easier for me to do
9:49
the comparison but when I don't have them it's almost impossible for me to do it
9:53
so I'll appreciate it if you could go on the website and I'll provide you with a
9:56
link in the description where you can donate to the website if you want to donate for
10:00

10:04
