A question about Jordan tags

[second2none]

Hey NT, I have a question about Jordan tags. Do the production date always have to touch the barcode? What if the date on the shoe doesn't match when the shoe release date? I feel like a noob for asking this

The touching of the barcode rule only applies to the Jordan's that came out around '99 - '04. The production date never matches the release date. The ending production date was when the manufacturing of that shoe was complete. The shoes then release at a later date, sometimes several months after the ending production date.
