good morning guys and this is time for
0:03
my sick kicks now yesterday uh I'll
0:05
share the video on the jordan v michigan
0:09
and the goal was to figure out how many
0:11
pairs were made so if you miss it if
0:14
you've missed it i will invite you to
0:15
just check my youtube video just go on
0:17
my website Asik XCOM and he's right here
0:20
and I promise yesterday that I was gonna
0:22
do all authentic versus fake um review
0:26
on this shoe because I K I saw bootleg
0:29
pairs yesterday a few days ago and I'm
0:32
like you know when you see these
0:34
bootlegs man you can tell right away
0:36
until you have the backup of authentic
0:38
so actually let me show you the bootleg
0:40
this is a booklet that I saw and they
0:43
tried they were trying to like throw you
0:44
off with the stock ex authentication
0:47
card and even if stickers and everything
0:49
so you see this thing if you don't have
0:52
an authentic pair on hand you can't
0:54
really tell especially if you've not
0:56
been doing this for a minute you just
0:57
look at it you think this is legit so
0:59
you see it on eBay and the eBay seller
1:02
is telling you a fairytale story and you
1:04
buy it you know what I mean so my goal
1:06
when I do this thing is it's basically
1:08
just for preventative methods I don't
1:11
claim to know everything but I try to be
1:13
as accurate as I can when I do my
1:15
comparisons is again this is just for
1:17
prevention I don't have the authentic
1:20
and I don't have the fake on hand so our
1:21
base my elevation based on these things
1:24
that I've done in the past and I'll go
1:26
and I'll fetch some pictures online to
1:28
see if I can use that from reputable
1:30
reputable sellers alright so this is
1:33
what I did this morning and I wanted to
1:35
share it so the first thing that I will
1:37
notice with bootlegs is the tongue is
1:40
always short on the Jordan fives when I
1:42
see like bootleg shoes now this this
1:44
picture here is from R & R so calm so
1:47
you can go back and check it now you see
1:49
the tongue is always short no matter
1:50
what they do it you don't get that right
1:52
it's always like how a shorter tongue so
1:54
I just wanted to show that to you here
1:56
real quick
1:56
okay so always ask to see the tongue and
2:00
then you just go on the website and look
2:01
at his pictures and the next thing I
2:04
want to show you is on the netting on
2:06
the side now you see this is the
2:08
authentic pair you see the pattern here
2:10
it's not the same like the fake one
2:12
usually have like smaller hole and they
2:14
are more spaced out you
2:15
she looks she did the hozier a lot
2:18
bigger and there are not a space stars
2:20
of this one here alright are the two
2:23
pictures are the same thing to show you
2:26
this is another one this is from this
2:29
website Ranaut's calm you could just go
2:31
and look at it you could tell like the
2:33
spacing between the holes and the size
2:35
or the holes is not the same this is a
2:38
fake one is usually smaller alright and
2:40
the authentic is bigger and the spaces
2:42
it's like totally less than this one
2:46
over here now the next thing I want to
2:48
show you you start the letter material
2:51
now if you look on the authentic it's
2:54
really it's like suede and he has like a
2:57
little bit of that little grain or hairy
2:59
it's like coming off you should rub your
3:01
fingers on it it's gonna if you put your
3:03
fingers on it it's gonna really be rough
3:04
and they are tiny and kind of fake when
3:06
it's like smooth very very smooth like
3:08
nubuck leather so that's a big giveaway
3:11
right there
3:12
there are tannic hostile real roughness
3:14
to it and the fake one does not have
3:16
that roughness to it so that's just one
3:18
of the ways you can tell all right now
3:20
the next thing is this Nike as Donald
3:23
liked it tremendous helped like guys by
3:26
by putting this QR code on their
3:28
sneakers so what you do is this usually
3:31
when you scan this code with your cell
3:33
phone if your cell phone has a camera it
3:35
should take you to the Nike sneakers up
3:36
I don't think they fake the bootleggers
3:39
have that capacity or the capability of
3:42
embedding the website stuff on this code
3:45
so Alvin I don't have a fake on hand so
3:47
I can't tell but I'm suspecting that
3:49
Nike did this to do away with this
3:52
particular aspect of the shoe now this
3:55
is the fake pair so I bet you if you
3:57
scan is this is not gonna take you the
3:59
Nike website so that's one of the ways
4:01
you can do it by just scanning this code
4:02
and see what happens
4:03
alright again again the other thing is
4:06
this the production date on the fake one
4:08
is usually an earlier date so I'll focus
4:10
if you see anybody selling the shoe and
4:12
has this date on it and let me make it a
4:15
little bit bigger if you see anybody
4:17
with this date on it to 619 423 and I
4:21
stay away from it and like I say scan
4:23
this code and if you scan the code it
4:26
should not take you to Nike the Nike
4:28
sneakers up
4:29
link right now the next thing is the box
4:32
the box is always an area that they mess
4:35
up now if you look up again I put two
4:38
pictures of the box now you should look
4:39
at this this is the authentic box
4:41
the label is white to begin with and
4:43
this one is a black label now this
4:46
totally does just totally off again
4:48
there are chthonic boxes the QR codes if
4:51
you scan this code it should take you to
4:53
the Nike sneakers app so again if you
4:56
see someone without black it would just
4:57
stay away from don't even ask questions
4:59
I'm sure they're gonna try to fix this
5:00
at some point they're gonna get the
5:02
right labeling box but for the meantime
5:04
focus on just scanning it's cold and if
5:07
they could does not take the Nike
5:09
sneakers up just stay away from this is
5:11
the code right here and the last picture
5:14
is another box that I saw again this is
5:16
another fake this is a different label
5:19
it's again it's black so just stay away
5:22
from if you see someone with this label
5:23
just stay away from me all right and I
5:25
think this is pretty much all the things
5:27
that I saw that I think we're important
5:29
now don't be like I said don't don't
5:31
don't be don't get like fooled by this
5:34
stock XR card ID be put into the shoe
5:37
because that is like a weight to trying
5:40
to fool you and I've wrote an article
5:42
about stock actually are making sure
5:45
people understand this thing he asked
5:47
stock X the kind of put some kind of a
5:49
chip in there to differentiate the
5:51
attacks from anybody else's tags because
5:53
you can tell because this is the same
5:55
all right so if you want authentic pairs
5:58
I can actually I have I'm allowing
6:02
people to do a pre-order on my website
6:03
now you can go on the website and just
6:07
click this button on my website and you
6:10
can pre-order he's gonna take you to my
6:11
shop and you can pre-order a pair I
6:13
think I've you to secure at least like
6:15
the six or seven dollar ten pairs so
6:18
just do that if you want it alright
6:19
again it's time for my sake car and stay
6:22
tuned for more stuff like this thank you
