today we're going to be breaking down the air jordan 4 cell off white and i'm
going to show you the differences between the real and the fake can you
tell which one of these shoes is real well if not by the end of the video i'll
make sure that you know all the ins and outs between these two shoes
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been
if you did not know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show
now if you haven't already go ahead and hit that subscribe button join the
family join the squad you already know what to
do and don't forget to hit that like button because that helps the algorithm
owe so much but with all that being said we
have to figure out what the differences are between the real
and the fake because we know a lot of people are spending money on this
sneaker and i'm telling you right now it's anywhere from a thousand to two
thousand dollars depending on the size of the shoe and i
would never want to see anybody get stuck with a fake pair of shoes so i
made sure that i got a fake pair here for you guys as well so that way you can
see the difference between the two and understand that so when you get
ready to go and purchase a pair you know what to look for so if you guys haven't
seen the full review of the real pair make sure you go check out the review
where i compare those against the off-white air jordan 5 as well so
looking at the top of the box on the lid you have your clear plastic here
that is similar the circles are a little bit bigger on the fake box
and the jumpman is also a little bit bigger on the fake box this is something
that's going to be hard to tell though when you just see one pair
in person and not comparing it to the other
it is easy for me to point out right now because i'm looking at the differences
between the two looking at the size tag here on the
front you can tell where the barcode is at the sizing is just a little bit
bigger the numbers are closer to the edge
as you can see the difference between these two right here stacked
and then also there's no perforation here on the fake pair
and then you have your classic retail 200 perforated tag
hanging off of the real pair also when you look at the qr code here on the fake
pair box you can tell that it's a little bit more
distorted and a lot more blurry the blacks are blending in a little bit more
compared to the qr code here on the real box
look at the squares in the corners how much more defined they are and then the
definition in the qr code here on the front of the box looking at
the plastic on the inside of the box the plastic is just a little bit more foggy
here on the fake pair and it's a lot more translucent and see-through here on
the real pair with the plastic and then if you look at the jumpman right here
you can clearly see it's just fully black printed jumpman right here
this was more faded and not really intact so there's some differences
between that as well just in the quality of the print okay so now let's take it
to the sneaker there's a lot of little details that you definitely should be
able to tell just when it looks like kind of like quality control
or mishaps when it comes to the fake pair compared to the real pair so i'll
make sure i'll point those out and then there's also a couple dead giveaways
that i think you should just easily tell just by the instant glance of the shoe
so one of the first things that i want to point out is the air logo here on the
side of the foot now on the real pair it is clearly printed perfectly printed
and on the fake pair right here if you see very very closely here on the zoomed
in shot you can kind of see like there's these
little marks around the letters that's not so clear
and it looks like it's like printed on not correctly or like there's extra ink
on the sides or something like that another thing to look at is looking at
the toe box and the materials on the upper
they both do feel really really well but the fake pair is just a little bit
darker and if you look at the toe cap right
here from this angle looking down at the shoe
you can see the perforated lines all the way around the front of the toe cap
on the fake pair and if you look at it here on the real pair you can't see any
perforations here on the front of the shoe another thing that really sticks
out to me is the mesh on the upper here on the fake pair
you can see that it's a little bit lighter and more white looking and then
this one is a little bit more cell and blends in with the foot on the
real pair another thing is you can pinch the mesh right here
and pull it and it's very very stretchy it's almost like a spider web
and if you do it here on the real pair it's really hard to get a attach of it
and even pull any of it at all but if you see here on the fake pair
look how easy i'm pulling on that that's not good one thing that i can say about
fake pairs is they do do a really good job these days
on imitating the authentic versions and you can see right here
if i'm not breaking down these details it's kind of just be like oh shoot that
looks like the real pair and then you have to understand the
differences between the two and there are many levels of fakes that come out
next up is the paint here around the toe of the foot you can clearly see the line
around the toe is perfectly intact here on the real
pair and then if you look at here on the fake pair
it's all over painted here on the sides and the paint just doesn't look right
you might see a paint difference on a real pair as well so make sure you check
the other details and not just run with one thing
because there could be a defect on a authentic pair just from quality control
or something like that now taking it to the back of the foot i think this is a
clear giveaway for me at least that if you look right here on the real
pair you can see it's half toned and it's kind of got that black down
below and then that white see-through look here at the top
and this one has that white see-through look here at the top and it's almost
kind of like that white down below it is a darker color
but it's not as dark and it doesn't really look black like this one does
so if it's more faint like this or you see it's kind of got a green hint or
that more of a white hint to it that's probably a clear indicator for you as
well that this pair isn't authentic typically
when you see the real pair it's gonna just look more black here at the bottom
of the foot one thing that i noticed about the sock
liner as well is here on the fake pair the white mesh on the inside of the foot
is cut a little bit lower than the leather around the outside
and then when you look at the real pair right here it's all evenly cut here
around the back of the ankle around the achilles area so that's another good
indicator by looking at the shoe and looking at
the cut right here around the leathers to say is this even or not another good
indicator for me when it comes to quality of materials is the hang tags
and different things like that so when you look at the fake pair right here you
can see it's easy for me to bend this pair with
just a little bit of pressure right and if i do it with a real pair it's a
lot harder with the same amount of pressure
to even bend that right there and then when you also look at the tan
behind the air logo right here you can see that it's rounded on the edges here
on the fake pair and it's a lot more square on the edges here on the real
pair and it's more clear and it just looks a
lot more clean like i was saying with the air print on the side of the foot
you can clearly tell like this one is a little bit sloppier than the other one
and that's a big indicator for me at least hopefully you notice what i'm
saying so what i'm looking at the zip ties right here it's honestly pretty
hard to tell the difference between the two
the only thing that i could say that i'm noticing is the white print here on the
fake pair is more white more bright and here on
the real pair where it says off-white 2020 a little bit more faint kind of
like an off-white white compared to just a
pure white looking at the inserts right here on the foot you have your jordan
insert right here with logo on the front and then on the
fake pair it comes wrapped in paper and then it's clearly a
whole different shape not even the same thing it still has
that jordan logo but if you look at the difference between the two
you can kind of see right there right look at the back the indent and
everything like that but definitely not the same insert that
you would see here on the real pair okay so another good
indicator is looking at the insoles like i was saying and as you can tell right
here on the fake pair it has a little sticker on there
typically you get a size tag and not no numbers like that so that's something
that's already thrown it off right here for the fake pair
on the new pair right here you're good to go with the nike air like you would
typically get and then this is a big indicator right
here if you see the stripes here on the real pair
how close they get past the ball of the foot over at the front of the toe right
here compared to this one just barely making
it to the middle of the ball of the foot here on the fake pair so when you look
at these lines that go across right here sometimes on the fakes they'll be
diagonal lines or they won't go as high as the real pair would right here so
that's another good indicator when you're looking at a fake
pull out that insole and check out the lines right there and see if it matches
up with a real pair so another big thing that sticks out for me as well is the
tongue right here so if you're looking at the material and filling it right
here it just doesn't feel as thick and as durable
as it does here on the real pair it's got a lot more grooves to it
and it's a lot more stiff so if you feel it right here similar to the netting how
i was talking about how it's kind of loose and kind of soft
it's kind of that same kind of feel here on the tongue on the fake pair
so another good indicator is looking at the outsoles and if you flip it over
right here you can see that the spacing between the
joints and everything right here around the shoe looks really good and typical
like an air jordan 4. now we look at the fake pair right here you can see at the
front right here the tan and the blue it's like touching there's
like no gap in between it those little details like that and
looking at the spacing and the portions between the shoe right here is an easy
giveaway for me there should be an entire line that goes
through right here and not just a little sliver
area right here but it should be the same width as this area it should be the
same right here as well also the real pair comes with a pair of
cell laces mint laces black laces and then white laces now if
you look at the fake pair it comes with cell
mint and black so there's missing the white pair of laces to go with it as
well you should have four pair of laces not
three so i hope these detail shots that i have in the video that i've been
popping up throughout this whole time really help you see the differences
between the real and the fake if you ever have to rewind
and go back and pause it and look at those images
to be able to tell the difference between the two please do that because
that's going to help educate you and understand the differences between
the two i want you guys to make sure that you're safe
that you're not buying fakes and you're able to spend your money that you work
so hard for on the legit pairs that you want and
that you desire so typically i go to instagram and i ask the people
what do you think about the shoe is this fire or is this trash but today
we got real verse fake so i'm gonna go to ig and ask the people
but i gotta bring my boy chase b in here and see if he can really tell
because you know he knows a couple things about shoes but if he can't tell
that might be a problem all right let's see
okay definitely going with this one right away is the fake this is the real
um the materials on this one it's like a lot lighter and it looks
like streaky on this one it's like just all kind of
one color then the flight on the tongue is like
super bold i definitely think these are no good
damn they actually smell like almost the exact same bro
you got any other indicators that you can see all right so
the real one looks more see-through you ready to hear which pairs were on which
pair was right yeah so the pair on your left this pair
right here yep it's the real pair
no i'm sweating that's the biggest is the real pair this is i was trying to do
it without looking in the boxes but yeah okay you could definitely tell
on the box it's a dead giveaway so it looks like he knows what he's
talking about and he was able to figure it out
typically when you have touched and seen a lot of shoes you can kind of tell when
it looks like materials and consistency with cuts and different things like that
but that comes with the experience over time now let's go to ig and see what the
people think i'm wondering bro i feel like pictures
you can get away with these i'll take a good picture on instagram
bro yeah all right you ready for the results
yeah bro seeing that toe box too oh my god oh no
okay so i just popped up the picture and that this is right here i said which one
do you think is fake and i let the people vote
so the picture right here oh my gosh bro 66
of the people said the real pair was fake and 34
of the people said the fake pair was fake so that shows you right there
alone the majority of the people don't even know and can't even tell from a
photo and can think that a real pair is fake
which means they're gonna go and probably buy a fake pair of shoes
thinking that it's real not good gotta stay to the state of the abs
what bro that's crazy 66 of the people thought the real pair was
fake hopefully this video can help you guys
understand the differences between the two
if you need again like i said before refer back to photos that were posted
earlier in the video to look at the comparisons between the
real and fake take your time rewind again and again and again and
look at those photos over and over again so hopefully that can help you guys out
i try to take the best photos i could so you can see the differences between the
two bro what do you think about that 66
that's scary i mean like that picture specifically
makes it a little tougher but like seeing them in person there's a lot of
inconsistencies on this face that's wild that's not good definitely don't
don't hit offer up for these do your research again and again and
again before you just go ahead and pull that trigger and spend the money and the
next thing you know you got a bad pair of shoes
so i hope this video was helpful i know there's people out there getting got
right now and i don't want it to happen to you
aren't you guys my name is dj his name is chase b we signing out i
gots to go we gone peace
you
