Welcome to another edition of legit check, today we’ll learn how to identify the Fake Air Jordan 8 Solefly. I was looking for a good video comparison and came across Jacob Marcellus‘s. Areas of our focus will be the toe, the back, sides, the tongue, outsole and more.
How To Tell If Your Air Jordan 8 Solefly Is Fake
But first, let’s go through our preliminary steps.
Smell the shoes ( only if you’ve already made the purchase)
One of the dead giveaway is the smell/odor of the glue uses to construct the replicas. If the glue smell is really strong to the point of irritating your nostrils, then you’ve probably being dealt a counterfeit
Proof of Purchase
Ask for a proof of purchase. Receipt must include details such as provenance, time of purchase, date and any other relevant information. If a seller is reluctant to provide that, I will strongly urge to refrain from following through with the purchase.
SIDE
The pattern on the netting isn’t the same between both pairs, on the fakes it is horizontal but on the real pair, it is vertical and slanted, see red circles.
STRAPS
The number 23 on the cross straps comes in a much larger font on the authentic pair, and the threads around it are more jagged as well on the legit pair, see green circle.
TOE
The real pair comes in a much sleeker toe while the Fake Air Jordan 8 Solefly has slightly bulkier toe, see red arrows. If you zero in on the red circles and squares, you’ll notice how the areas highlighted do not come in the same color shade, it is subtle but noticeable.
Continuing with the toe, you can clearly see that the overlay is larger and more extended on the real pair, and also notice the poor stitching on the fakes.
TONGUE
The gap between the chenille patch and the edge of the tongue is wider on the fake pair, see red line. And the Jumpman logos between both pairs are completely different, see green arrow.
BACK
INSOLE
No comments needed, you can clearly see the nuances.
OUTSOLE
The area highlighted is more blurry on the real pair than it is on the Fake Jordan 8 Solefly.
BLACK LIGHT Test
Packaging
The authentic box comes in a slightly larger box and if you zero in on the box, you’ll notice how the colors aren’t the same, it is easy to spot.
