How To Tell If Your Air Jordan 6 Metallic Silver Is Fake
Smell the shoes ( only if you’ve already made the purchase)

How To Spot & Identify The Fake Air Jordan 11 Cherry Varsity Red
Side/Toe
It may be a bit hard to see but the panels’ perforations are bigger on the authentic pair, zero in on the yellow square. Also if you close in on the yellow arrows, you’ll notice that the fake pair has a bulkier toe box.
The holes on the extension of the tongue are much wider on the real pair, see yellow circles. Also the color shade is different, the legitimate pair has a dark shade while the fake pair is grey and dark ( or ashy). It is very noticeable.
Back
The gap between the “23” and the edge of the midsole is wider on the real pair ( by the way both pairs are size 12). The jumpman’s embroidery is very vivid on the authentic pair, see yellow arrow. The material used on the heel tab of the authentic pair is more plush ( the difference is obvious, see the lines on the fake Air Jordan 6 Metallic Silver tab).
Side ( close up)
You can clearly see that the holes on the fake pair’s pod are smaller ( see yellow circle). Moreover the panel’s holes are bigger on the legitimate pair, see yellow rectangles.
Insoles
As you can see, this is the back of the insole of the fake pair is rugged, and the markings are not legible. The legit pair’s back is shiny, smooth and the markings are very legible.
Box
As usual, the authentic pair’s box is wider and longer than the fake pair’s box. In this particular case, the fake box appears darker and more shiny, the nuances are obvious.
There you have it folks, hopefully you’ll be able to spot any fake Air Jordan 6 Metallic Silver with these tips. I leaned on Jacob Marcellus’ video for this post as well. I’m sure the fakes will be upgraded but thus far, these are the nuances that were noticed.
