Where to buy authentic pairs, see link below https://bit.ly/33qiGjW The Fire Red 4 released officially this Saturday morning and I was fortunate enough to pick up a pair in size 13. My whole purpose for grabbing a pair was to do a side by side comparison with the Fake Air Jordan 4 Fire Red I was sent by Kickfam.com. Once again the company reached out to me and insisted on sending me a pair so I could pin it against retailers' pairs. I went through the rigorous work of spotting all the nuances and in the video you'll learn how to spot and identify the Fake Air Jordan 4 Fire Red. The UA pair came from : https://www.kickfam.com/ Instagram: @getsnkr https://www.instagram.com/getsnkr / Also check out our other comparisons Real Vs Fake Jordan 1 High Black Gold https://bit.ly/368r9Ki Real Vs Fake Jordan 11 Jubilee https://bit.ly/32ZiSGI Real Vs Fake What the Jordan 5, see link below https://bit.ly/38f8f5U Real Vs Fake Jordan 1 co.JP Midnight Navy, see link below https://bit.ly/2JznKeX Real Vs Fake Jordan 1 Dark Mocha https://bit.ly/3dZVSf7

hey what's going on guys this is ty from
0:01
asset kicks so i went to my
0:03
local mall to pick up the size 13 of the
0:05
fire at four
0:06
and i also had like a fake pair with me
0:09
so i wanted to test
0:10
some of the employees and so you see
0:12
exactly what happened it's interesting
0:14
to see
0:14
how much people know you know what i'm
0:16
saying like so and the fake bread came
0:18
from kickfam
0:19
which i i will give you the um link and
0:21
the authentic uh came from
0:23
dtlr obviously i i have i bought that
0:26
for myself so
0:27
you'll see it in the video in a second
0:29
how uh
0:30
it's hard for people to tell what the
0:32
fake one is and what the authentic is
0:34
so and i'll do that and then next thing
0:36
i'll do is i'll do the side by side
0:38
comparison for you respect
0:42
i hope it's this one do you think that's
0:44
fake so why
0:45
why do you think that's fake that that
0:48
color is a little different
0:50
it's a little it's a little brighter
1:09
so this is a real one that's the real
1:11
one yeah that's the first one
1:13
oh i see okay you're gonna throw your
1:15
over if you smell it you sniff it
1:17
right the fake one has a strong blue
1:18
spell just take a little sniff why is it
1:20
orange
1:21
that's what i'm saying it's crazy but
1:23
that's how all the new restaurants
1:24
that's all the new restaurants right now
1:26
which one do you think is fake
1:28
[Music]
1:33
this one definitely looks
1:40
this one's a fake one god you got it
1:43
right how did you figure that out
1:44
the tongue good job man you got it you
1:47
ready
1:47
yeah the new one doesn't have the red
1:49
exactly
1:51
yeah right
1:56
hey what's going on guys this is taylor
1:58
from houstonkicks.com so i just got home
2:00
i picked up the fire red in size 13 from
2:03
downtown locker room as you can see
2:05
so i went to the mall and you see i
2:07
stopped by like a couple of locations
2:09
trying to get the
2:10
the the workers to authenticate the shoe
2:12
and you can see that they had a hard
2:14
time doing it
2:14
now to their defense i'll say this when
2:16
you don't have the backdrop of an
2:18
authentic pair
2:19
it's really sometimes hard to do the to
2:22
legit check it
2:23
to the untrained eye even the trained
2:25
eye has a hard time doing it
2:26
so i just got home now and i'm gonna
2:28
show you what to look for
2:30
and how to authenticate these are five
2:31
and four again you start like looking at
2:33
nuances on the shoe like physical
2:35
nuances the first thing you want to do
2:36
is just sniff the shoe
2:38
like when i got the fix the first thing
2:40
that got me was the smell i mean the
2:41
glue smell is so strong
2:43
man i mean if you sniff it man it's just
2:46
really strong smell or the authentic no
2:49
smell at all
2:50
no no smell on effect where always
2:55
that strong gooseberry gives you a
2:56
headache like it really gives you like
2:58
that headache so that's the very first
2:59
thing you want to do is always sniff it
3:01
first
3:01
all right the legitimate pair came from
3:05
dtlr.com and then the the fake one
3:08
or the ua or whatever name you're going
3:10
to use came from kickfam.com you will
3:13
see that
3:14
in uh information in the description so
3:16
now
3:17
this is the fake on my left side
3:20
and the authentic on my right so now i'm
3:22
gonna show you what to look for
3:24
let's start with the color that's the
3:26
big big deal here
3:28
if you look at both shoes you can tell
3:30
right away
3:31
the fake one which is on my left hand is
3:33
burgundy red
3:34
you see the red here on the midsole on
3:36
the forefoot area
3:37
this is like burgundy red and the
3:39
authentic is
3:40
fire red now if you look at the lace
3:44
uh holes on this plastic lace on loops
3:47
here
3:47
they are like five red on the authentic
3:49
and the fake one burgundy red you can
3:51
see that
3:52
okay and then i'm gonna turn it over and
3:54
i'm gonna show you the outsole as well
3:56
you can see the same thing is repeated
3:58
again this is like a burgundy red and
4:00
this is fire red
4:01
and i also wanted to mention the fact
4:03
that sometimes on a fake you can see
4:04
that the paint is bleeding a little bit
4:06
because of a poor paint job
4:08
that happens and sometimes it happens
4:09
with authentic but not so often
4:12
again look at the tip of the look here
4:14
again you can see
4:15
this is like burgundy and this is like
4:16
fire red and even the gray is a little
4:18
different this is like a
4:20
a lighter gray and this gray here i
4:22
guess you can see that right
4:23
the gray is not the same and now i'm
4:25
going to show you the back as well
4:26
that's a big deal here
4:28
look this again you see that
4:32
burgundy red and this is fire red all
4:34
right
4:35
and then the next thing i want to talk
4:36
about it's going to be
4:38
the on tab on the back look on the fake
4:41
pad the tab is really small
4:43
it's not as wide you see that right it's
4:45
not small it's it's not as wide as the
4:47
authentic
4:47
and it doesn't extend very high if you
4:49
put that together you see
4:51
it doesn't go as high you can tell right
4:54
i'm gonna go local it's my son and the
4:56
cameraman is asking me to do that
4:58
you can see that right and then we're
5:01
gonna go to step number two
5:02
in just a second the next thing that i
5:04
want to mention is
5:05
the tongue if you look at the authentic
5:07
pair which is on my right
5:08
you see that red lining you don't see
5:10
that when you pick them i'm gonna pick
5:12
them up you don't see that red lining
5:13
because it folds
5:15
over like it folds and it folds like
5:17
they are almost like at the same
5:19
edge but on the fake one you can see
5:21
that the red
5:22
shows up on top of the tongue on top of
5:24
the outside of the tongue it shows up
5:26
big time
5:26
and doesn't really fold over it falls
5:28
actually above it
5:30
that's one thing that i wanted to show
5:32
you and then the other thing i wanted to
5:33
show you was
5:34
the netting again these are both size
5:36
13. look at the netting
5:38
on the authentic and look at the netting
5:40
on the fake the netting on effect
5:42
pretty much is pronounced he goes all
5:43
the way and he actually touches
5:45
the strap on the face on the authentic
5:48
play it doesn't do that you see there's
5:49
a gap here that you don't see
5:50
on the fake bear all right and then
5:53
we're gonna go to step number three
5:55
and step number three i wanted to show
5:57
you an interes
5:58
an interesting portion of the outside of
6:01
the tongue the top if you look at the
6:02
material here it's like
6:03
white there's like some dot in it you
6:05
don't really see them but on the fake
6:07
one
6:07
you can see there's like forms on there
6:09
that you see and the jump ring itself on
6:11
the fake is like has a bigger belly
6:13
look at the torso is kind of popping out
6:15
a little more you see that right
6:17
and again the red is not the same
6:18
between warfare and then my son mentions
6:21
another mentioned another important uh
6:24
portion of the shoe
6:26
if you look at this hang tight okay i'm
6:27
gonna put my fingers right here
6:29
look to the orange portion okay you see
6:31
you can't see my fingers through it
6:33
on the authentic pair but if i put it on
6:35
the fake fare
6:36
look you can see my fingers right
6:38
through it this is translucent you can
6:40
see my fingers through it
6:41
all right and then he also mentioned
6:43
another thing that i wanted to tell you
6:45
guys
6:45
which is on the authentic pair the the
6:48
tag is really
6:49
hard it's not as flimsy and the fake
6:51
pair is really flimsy
6:52
like it's very very flimsy like it's not
6:54
really thick
6:56
all right and now we're gonna go to step
6:57
number show you the insoles as well
6:59
now the authentic purse insole is much
7:01
thicker okay this is more flimsy here
7:04
but if you look at the insoles itself if
7:06
you look at the red here
7:08
like it's first of all the letterings
7:10
are much bigger compared to this one and
7:12
the red is not the same this is again
7:14
like a burgundy red and this is like
7:15
fire red
7:17
based on the shoes look at the air like
7:20
the air is like this it's like a
7:22
and then got i and then gap r on the
7:24
fake where look
7:26
it's like they're like closer to one
7:28
another
7:29
all right and then i also want to show
7:30
you the insert
7:32
now this is the authentic insert you can
7:35
see say size 13 to 14
7:37
and on the fake where i don't see that
7:39
anywhere here it says
7:41
size 10 and a half to 12 which is
7:43
actually a no no big no no it's on the
7:44
side here
7:45
and the authentic press uh insert is
7:47
much wider
7:49
than the fake burst insert all right and
7:51
now we're gonna go to the box
7:52
and talk about the last step one the
7:54
last step will be the boxes again the
7:56
boxes
7:56
is just big big differences here the
7:58
effect box is actually
8:00
the lengthwise is not as long as the
8:02
authentic box and the height is also not
8:03
the same you can see there's a big gap
8:05
here
8:05
if you go down you see there's a big gap
8:07
okay length is not the same
8:09
and then the paper inside is not the
8:11
same this is a they got a white paper
8:13
here and they got this uh black carbon
8:15
like paper
8:16
and they sent me the stockx uh
8:18
authentication
8:20
sticker or all these and they even had
8:23
the tag in there all right they had that
8:26
now the authentic prayer the paper comes
8:28
to that uh print
8:30
with the little speckles on it and then
8:32
he has another white paper
8:34
on the authentic pair and i'm going to
8:35
look at the tags the label to see if
8:38
there's any differences so we're gonna
8:39
go to step six
8:40
for that our last step would be to look
8:41
at the labels okay if you look at the
8:43
fake label
8:44
the bow the front of the of the sticker
8:47
the msrp tag is like
8:49
bolder okay and the author is more
8:51
refined and this is also all scuffed up
8:54
so
8:54
this is one of the ways and i'm gonna
8:56
try and peel this to see
8:58
if there is any uh rfid identifier
9:01
behind it so i'm gonna try and do it in
9:03
front of you
9:04
i don't think they have it ah now they
9:07
don't have that
9:08
they don't have it they don't have the
9:09
rfid identifier behind it i don't think
9:11
it is there
9:12
because i'm trying to kill this and it
9:15
doesn't go
9:15
anywhere i don't think it's there so
9:18
anyway
9:19
that's not a big deal so we're not gonna
9:20
do that but again you can see the front
9:22
is not the same so this is pretty much a
9:25
wrap
9:26
again um be careful when you go out and
9:28
buy these shoes make sure you watch the
9:30
video
9:30
thoroughly but i'm sure they're gonna
9:32
update these fakes and they're gonna try
9:34
and make them look as close to the
9:35
authentic
9:36
as possible but again these are the
9:38
things that i noticed today so
9:39
