Legit Check Jordan 1 Barons

[Zhaoqin]

Hey all,
Album with images of shoe:
I received this pair of pretty worn Barons off eBay in 7/10 condition but it came with several suspicious flaws. The corner stitching is on the swoosh versus above it, the swoosh placement is inconsistent, and the height of the leather heel piece is different on each shoe.
Older Jordans before 2015 are harder to legit check due to Nike's supar QC of the era so the first two flaws can possibly be QC errors, as if you check GOAT many pairs there share the same swoosh placement and stitching flaws. However, I am unsure of the last flaw i mentioned concerning the differing heights of the heel nubuck pieces
Any help is appreciated!

I am not completely sure, but I believe they are authentic.
The things you mentioned are inconsistencies that happen by Nike factories. The only thing that seems off to me is the shape of the ankle area and the swoosh shape. The shape may just be due to the photos provided. The swoosh seems to curve a bit more then it should, but I may be wrong here. Everything else seems fine. It has the same crappy leather that my pair has. The production code is correct. Tongue tag is right. Fake Baron's were very rare, I never saw a good looking pair of fakes for this colorway.

If you can, get photos of the box label, lace bag, and close ups of the logos on each insole and bottom soles.

I got these in a rep box so no original label or lace bag (although I have the og grey laces) and due to their condition the insole text is completely faded

Thanks for the help! Could you check these soles?

The soles are correct.
Could you get better side photos of the shoe standing up, at eye level?
It may be the images you used and the shape of the shoe that make the swooshes look a bit odd to me.

Thanks so much for the help!

They look better in those photos.
Here is my pair, it’s in rough shape:

Your pair looked odd to me because of the shape of the shoe. They seem to be very wide on the ankle area due to wear, which distorts how the shoe looks in photos. You can see that on my pair a bit, but mine are laced higher so it doesn’t look as wide as the pair you got.

Ah that makes sense, I got them pretty used like yours too. I'll try lacing them higher to help with the shape. Still a great shoe nonetheless though
Everyone on facebook called these "bad fakes" lol because they were comparing them to recent 1s. Would have returned these if not for your help. Thank you so much!
