Air Jordan Bred 1 & Sole Awesome & Legit Check

[jamazing]

Hey guys,

I purchased this pair awhile back from Sole Awesome and wanted to get some second opinions on these. These did not come in an OG box. If you could let me know what you think that'd be great. Thanks again!

Looks good....legit but pics of tag on back of tongue.

 

[airthompson]

Theyre legit. Shape, leather matte finish, swoosh all looks legit.

 

[rickyriebel]

100% legit

Thank you guys!

So, the reason I did not show the tag is because I wanted an unbiased opinion of the materials, shape, toe-box, nike air tag, etc.

On the tongue it actually says "fabrique a china" rather than "fabrique en china." I know the Royals are supposed to have the "A China" but not the Bred's. Would these classify as high quality fakes or B-grades? This is the only error on the shoe from what I have seen...

looks ok so far..post pic of both size tags as requested above.

So I know the "a China" is found on some of the fake shoes. My question is, does that one error/flaw/mistake make the shoe "fake" even though the materials, toe box, leather, outsole, Nike air tag and side panels are legit?

I could send the picture of the "a China" but I think you guys already know what I'm talking about when I reference it.

Would these be high quality fakes? B grades? Early release?

 

[timmybrixxx]

Please refer to my last post..Need pix, its more about the tags as a whole than the one line of print you are referencing. Pix are ALWAYS needed for an accurate assessment.. I can tell you they are NOT B grades or the size tags would be stamped so.

 

[rickyriebel]

Also, take a pic of both shoes together from the back, and a birds eye view pic of the toeboxes

 

[pmpdaddyrobford]

yea that site also sells fakes so better post more pics

 

[jamazing]

Okay sounds good. I'll upload more pictures when I get home. At this point there's nothing I can do about them, so I'll just have to rock them regardless.

Not liking the look of it from the back, no "hourglass" silhouette 

 

[jamazing]

What do you mean hourglass silhouette? Do you have a picture of what you're referring to?

Here are the rest of the pictures you guys requested. Please let me know what you think.

I had these legit checked on Sole Collector and the majority of the people classified them as a "grey-market/early release/unauthorized legit pair." They had never seen a pair that had everything right except for the tongue tag ("A China"). They said everything checked out (leather, matte finish, nike air, toe-boxes, outsole pattern, etc.) except for that.

I wanted to get a second opinion from you guys anyways. Thanks again for all the input!

 

[jamazing]

bump; if anyone else has any opinions lmk!

 

[jamazing]

Can someone please give me some more input?

 

[jamazing]

Bump

After looking at the additional pics, those are def early pairs. The leather is too plush, which is ironic, because the GM pairs had better leather.

 

[jamazing]

Thanks airthompson ! So would these be considered legit then? Just an early release?

 

[pmpdaddyrobford]

Thanks airthompson ! So would these be considered legit then? Just an early release?

Early releases are fakes

 

[jamazing]

Early releases are fakes

Thanks for your opinion pmpdaddy! Appreciate it. This one is a mixed bag based on all the legit checks I've had on these.
