Jordan 4 Bred Real Vs Fake

Many sneaker collectors have had the experience of buying fake Jordan 4s. Jordan 4 “Bred” (black and red) is a very classic and popular shoe. Do you know the difference between Jordan 4 Bred real vs fake?

In order to help everyone learn to identify fake Jordan 4 Bred more quickly, here are some key points for comparing the real and fake Jordan 4 bred:

1. Overall lines: The lines of the authentic shoe are smooth and the curvature is natural. Fakes may have problems such as insufficient toe, too bloated body or irregular heel shape. For example, the toe of a fake may look flat and lack the three-dimensional sense of the authentic; the body may be too wide or narrow, and the proportions are not harmonious; the curvature of the heel may be unnatural and significantly different from the authentic.
2. Curvature of the sole: The curvature of the authentic sole is more natural and reasonable, and the connection with the body is smooth. The curvature of the fake sole may not be smooth, look stiff, or the thickness and shape of the sole may be inconsistent with the authentic.
3. Upper material: Authentic products usually use high-quality leather, synthetic materials or fabrics, with good texture, clear texture, bright and uniform color. Fakes may have poorer materials, blurred texture, dull or biased colors, and the texture of the leather may be too hard or soft. For example, the black leather part of the genuine product should have a fine texture and gloss, while the leather of the fake product may look rough, with unclear texture and may even fade; the color of the red part should be bright and uniform, while the red of the fake product may be too bright or dull, and the saturation and brightness of the color are different from the genuine product.
4. TPU parts: The TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber) parts on the Jordan 4 shoes, such as the side support pieces, are glossy, elastic, hard, and have neat and smooth edges; the TPU of the fake product may have poor gloss, insufficient elasticity, irregular edge cutting, and may even have burrs. You can press the TPU part with your fingers to feel its elasticity and hardness, and observe whether the edge processing is fine.
5. Stitching process: The stitching of the genuine product is neat, the stitching is uniform, and the size of the stitching holes is relatively uniform. The stitching of the fake product may be uneven, the stitching lengths are different, and the stitching holes are of different sizes, which looks uneven. For example, the stitching on the toe, side of the shoe, heel and other parts of the shoe should be very neat, the distance between the stitches is uniform, and the size of the stitching holes is basically the same; while the stitching on the fake may be crooked, some stitches are long and some are short, and some stitching holes are large and some are small.
6. Heel details: the shape, curvature and logo on the heel. The shape of the genuine heel is regular, the curvature is natural, and the logo is clear and exquisite; the heel of the fake may have defects in these aspects, such as blurred logo, distorted shape, etc. The “NIKE AIR” words on the genuine heel should be clear and three-dimensional, the edges of the letters are neat, and the colors are full; the words on the fake may be blurred, the edges of the letters have burrs, and the colors are not bright enough.
7. Tongue logo: The logo on the tongue of the genuine shoe, such as the flying man logo, has fine embroidery or printing technology, clear patterns, bright colors, and a certain three-dimensional sense; the tongue logo of the fake may be rough, the pattern is blurred, the color is dim, and the three-dimensional sense is not strong. Carefully observe whether the embroidery lines of the flying man logo are smooth, whether the color transition is natural, and the overall three-dimensional sense of the logo.
8. Insole details: The material, thickness, pattern and logo of the genuine insole have specific standards. The insole of the fake may be different from the genuine one in material and thickness, and the pattern and logo may be unclear or wrong. The material of the genuine insole should have a certain degree of elasticity and softness, and the pattern and logo on it may be clear and discernible; the insole of the fake may be harder, with poor elasticity, blurred pattern, or even no logo.
9. Shoe label: The genuine shoe label is clearly printed, the font is standardized, and the information is complete and accurate. The fake shoe label may be printed blurred, the font is not standardized, and the information is incorrect or missing. For example, the thickness and spacing of the font are inconsistent with the genuine product, and the format of the barcode is incorrect. Pay attention to whether the size, production date, origin and other information on the shoe label are consistent with the shoe itself.
10. Color matching: The color matching of Jordan 4 “bred” is a classic black and red combination. If you come across shoes with very strange color combinations or that do not match the official color scheme, they are likely to be fakes. For example, the colors are too bright or dull, or the color distribution is incorrect, etc. The black part of the authentic shoes should be pure black, and the red part should be bright red, and the combination between the two should be harmonious; the colors of fake shoes may be deviated, such as the black is not black enough, and the red is too bright or too dull.
