Legit check on Union x Jordan 1’s

[thirdeyescribe]

What’s good NT, I was wanting to purchase a pair of the Union x Jordan 1’s and found a blue toe pair for relatively cheap (as well as a black toe pair) and of course I want to make sure it’s the real deal. I’ve scoured the web for any info on Union 1 fake’s and surprisingly haven’t seen anything yet: even on Fake Education, etc. so hopefully y’all can help me out! Appreciate in advance.

Damn! Right on, I appreciate it. I’ll cancel my order now. Might as well just suck it up and pay the extra hundo on StockX.

What about these?

Why no one seems to have a UV flashlight on here?! You can tell immediately on the unions with UV light.

How?

The orange edges glow like the sun .. real ones don’t .
Upvote me please I’m trying to support this community with know how.

Sure. Just tell me how to do that and I will. What about the yellow. Stitching under the union tag. As it gets closer to the eyelets, Shouldn’t it separate and then get thicker and longer stitches?

Go to Amazon and buy a UV flashlight. Not expensive. The edge panelling on union ones is orange as you know. When you flash UV light on it the orange should stay dull.... if it lights up like a Christmas tree it’s fake. Stitching Union tag has been mastered by some batches of fakes ... not many but I know of one batch that has...(this fools stock x) no batch of fakes has passed UV test as I mention above. This test is the first thing you will check on both unions 1’s.

I meant to say yellowy orange... you know what I mean

Thanks. I have one from validating some AJ1 TS lows. I’ll take a pic and post back here. These don’t have the stitching i mention. Wasn’t sure if the lack of that stitching is a giveaway. Appreciate your help.

 

[coryr]

Maybe you can tell better than me

 

[Novacloudnine]

I’m not sure I can see clearly enough wait I will show you mine

1st pic real pair no or very little yellow glow on edge panels
2nd pic fake pair edges glow yellow

 

[coryr]

Oh I think I see the yellow on mine, right? Look at the toe box. Thanks. Not hurt. I told the guy they were reps and only paid $100. See the lack of dense and different stitching here?

 

[Novacloudnine]

You can see the yellow around the swoosh. Real ones won’t light up here under UV. Seems you never got burned too bad Paying 100. There are a ton of other things to note but 1st call is yellow glow under UV
