Feb 20, 2025
Ever since the "Bred 1" made a comeback in 2016, many sneaker enthusiasts have been impatiently waiting for a reissue of the "Royal 1". And the news finally came a few days ago when JB announced the official release date of the shoes. The most replicated Jordan retros are the "I & XI" model; I wasn't surprised when I spotted the Fake Air Jordan 1 Royal on the net. I've added a few pictures below with pointers to help you avoid any swindlers selling these as legitimate pairs. buy authentic pairs via http://housakicks.com/air-jordan/2017-air-jordan-1-royal-555088-007/

0:10
get man I work into the store I actually
0:12
won one raffle and then the other one
0:14
that I picked up I worked in the store
0:16
and they still had a couple of sizes
0:17
left there and I actually could have
0:19
picked up more of the three I just
0:20
didn't feel like going back to the store
0:21
and getting them but you know before um
0:25
I just wanted to show you quick ways to
0:28
um identify The Fakes all right CU you
0:32
know we all know the fakes are getting
0:33
so good now so it's really hard to
0:35
figure this thing out and and I try my
0:37
best to find like some of the best fakes
0:40
so when I do this comparison uh they are
0:42
not too obvious you see what I'm saying
0:44
but there's always someone that think
0:47
they're too smart and they're trying to
0:48
give me a hard time saying man F you and
0:51
all this thing listen man I'm not doing
0:53
this for to knock on your hle if you're
0:55
selling fix go ahead and do your thing
0:58
I'm just trying to you know point out
1:00
some of the things you know for people
1:01
that actually want to spend the money
1:02
and buy the authentic if they can't get
1:04
them from the store you know I'm just
1:06
trying to help those people out all
1:08
right so all right let me get into it
1:10
man so obviously the this is the
1:12
authentic on my left and your right
1:15
maybe on the F on my right and your left
1:18
now the first thing that I notice is the
1:20
lining right here where I put the overal
1:22
circle the yellow one if you look at it
1:25
the fabric here is like a little like
1:27
it's some kind of plush fabric all right
1:29
and it's thi thicker like the thickness
1:31
of it it really is thick you can kind of
1:33
see it on the fakes it was barely up
1:36
there on on on around the color right
1:39
now the other thing that I noticed was
1:41
the uh this portion of the shoes here
1:44
the top uh portion of the the heel panel
1:49
if you look at the the leather it has
1:51
like some kind of Sandy structure to it
1:54
texture and it's like a little shiny on
1:56
the F it's just really dry you don't
2:00
really see that shiny stuff on it all
2:01
right I I try to get you a close look so
2:04
you can notice what I'm talking about
2:06
it's really shiny on the authentic and I
2:08
actually have the authentic of my hand
2:09
and he was shiny all right and let's go
2:12
on to the next
2:13
slide now there's the thing that I
2:15
noticed too like on a on The Fakes if
2:18
you see see how they lean forward like
2:20
in the forward slash they're really
2:22
leaning like it's kind of leaning really
2:24
forward and again you can see the
2:25
difference between the lining on the top
2:27
you see that now this is the PA that I
2:29
picked up today from from Foot Locker
2:31
and I picked up another one from DTLR so
2:33
on the f is really leaning this portion
2:35
is like leaning like in a forward slash
2:38
it leans a little bit on the authentic
2:39
but it's more like a it's steep it's not
2:42
as like oblique as it is on the F right
2:45
I put a yellow line here and then I'll
2:47
put the arrow to show you exactly what
2:48
I'm talking about now let's jump onto
2:50
the next slide here I'm G find you
2:52
something else that oh man are you
2:54
kidding me right now all right let me
2:55
get to it all right again now if you
2:58
look at this this this portion all the
3:00
shoes here now look at it the the wings
3:04
logo appears contracted on their on
3:07
their face see it's too it's kind of
3:09
contracted see what I'm saying this one
3:12
is more extended and again the material
3:15
if you look here is like shiny not that
3:17
shiny here look at the lining you can
3:19
barely see stop it starts over here and
3:21
then and it disappears as you go close
3:24
to the heel the counter all right next
3:26
slide let me get to it and I don't want
3:29
to your time so I need to get to this
3:31
slide real quick man now again look at
3:33
the leather here see how shiny it is
3:35
grainy looking it's kind of like Sandy
3:37
looking this is kind of dry and if you
3:39
look at the square that I put next to
3:41
the logo the swo logo it's kind of
3:43
wrinkled up up up in here look at it
3:45
just like wrinkles and it's again it's
3:47
like kind of a little dry all right now
3:51
let's go to the next slide I wanted to
3:53
show you the back back view all right
3:56
now a lot of the effects when you look
3:57
at them they don't have that like the
3:59
Curve it looks like a bottle you see it
4:02
like it goes like this and it opens up
4:03
this way look on the F it's kind of
4:05
straight you don't really it's kind of
4:07
shapeless you see a little bit of the uh
4:11
the curves but it's not so apparent all
4:13
right and again
4:15
look look at the lining in the back here
4:18
all right that's another thing that you
4:19
need to look at next slide I'm GNA look
4:22
at
4:23
the the Bottom now if you look at the
4:25
traction the threads on the F uh if you
4:29
see the for foot here is supposed to be
4:31
like stars now if you look at the fake
4:33
one if you look close
4:35
enough they looks like it looks more
4:37
like circular bumps if you look at the
4:39
thing you can clearly see the stars is
4:41
really like visible they're like you
4:43
kind of see that all right I wish some
4:46
