How to Spot FAKE Air Jordan 1 Off-White in 2023 (All Colorways)

Box Label

Starting with the box label comparison of the Jordan 1 High Chicago Off-White collaboration, this box is different from the UNC and White OG. Let's check the boxes.

Denoted in the yellow boxes is for the real pair, pointing out the font boldness being different, real Jordan 1 Off white Chicago font is slightly thinner, unlike on the fake box label font is bolder plus the color of the box is lighter brown in color.

The Jordan 1 off-white NRG box label is one of the most on-point boxes, we've ever seen, with this there are some points to check when buying this pair.

Encircled in yellow is the real Jordan 1 off-white Jump Man, where the shape is more defined, unlike the fake Jump Man, whose arms are just too thin and not proportioned.

Denoted in the yellow circle for the real see how the shape and color differ from that fake box label, gold color shines for the real label while the fake Jordan 1 high off-white gold color is dull and lacking that shine like the authentic label.

Check that perforation on fake, which is denoted in red arrows, see the perforation not pronounced like retail boxes do which is denoted in the yellow arrows.

Moving on to UNC Jordan 1 Off-white label, the color of the real one is again shinier when compared to the fake label, it's dull. Upon checking side by side the fake Jordan 1 UNC off-white label is misaligned unlike the retail label, I have drawn a line where it points out that it doesn't touch the letter E.

Size Tag

The size tag is also a good legit checking indicator, see how the edges for the real pairs are denoted with the yellow arrows having that lightly transparent edges, unlike the fake pair edges are more solid.

Another thing to notice is the space above that Jump Man on retail is less spaced, but when compared with the fake size label, the attachment is just not like the authentic Jordan 1 High-Off White.

Checking the size label for the Jordan 1 off-white white NRG, denoted in the yellow box is the authentic and red box for fake. The real size label is less bold in font, compared with the fake Jordan 1 Off-white font used is just thicker.

Another important to check is the fabric used on real pairs, holes are smaller while fake pairs fabric holes are larger in size.

Tongue Label

The Nike tongue label is again another good legit checking indicator, whereas you can see how the real pair swoosh curve is different from the fake. The real Jordan 1 high Off-White Chicago tongue label swoosh is more curved, unlike the fake tongue label swoosh isn't curved enough check that line arrow ending vs the real tongue label.

To add, I have noticed that the swoosh tail on the real pair is sharper than the replica this is denoted in the yellow circle for retail and the black line arrow for fake.

The Jordan 1 Unc Off-white is different from the previous Chicago Off-white, where the letter K and E connection is different, the tongue label font for the real tongue label, the letter "K" and "E" connection is thinner, however with the fake pair tongue label K&E connection is thicker. The letter K on the real label is shaped properly unlike the replicated tongue label font.

Wing Logo

Checking the wing logo to determine the real vs fake Jordan 1 Off-white High NRG, notice how the real Wing logo is more debossed when compared to fakes, it's just less pronounced.

In this area, we can also see the ghost stitching or pin-like dots that we can use to check our pairs authenticity, and see how the dots line up evenly and are pronounced vs the fake pair ghost stitching less pronounced and uneven.

Here's another sample of that ghost stitching pattern and definition that I'm talking about, notice how the dots are consistently lined up and pronounced, unlike with fakes, these dots are just not like the retail.

It's important to mention that the Wing logo finishes for the real pair should be more in a matte finish, versus the fake wing logo prints just glossy with the logo also looking less debossed and rough in finish.

Medial Text

One of the signature designs from off-white is the inner side medial text, let's discuss this per colorway, for in my personal opinion these medial texts are not exactly the same from each release.

Starting off with the Chicago colorway, notice the 1985 spacing for both pairs and see how close the numbers 1985 is for retail this is denoted in the yellow box, unlike the fake pair medial text on 19 & 85 have this gap separating them.

For the Jordan 1 High Off-white UNC, denoted in the yellow box is the AIR Jordan 1 text where the font size is slightly thinner, however with the fake pair font is just bolder.

We also notice comparing these two, real pairs font has that smudge appearance, unlike on the fake pairs, we can barely see that smudge.

The fun part continues how we can say that they are not that consistent when it comes to prints, the Jordan 1 High off-white NRG font is now bold when compared with the replica font is just too thin with this particular replica.

Orange Tab Stitching

The most important thing to check also is the orange tab, notice how the tab was stitched neatly and precisely made, the heel texture for retail pairs is more pronounced than the replica.

Checking the swoosh tail blue stitching, we can all agree that the stitch for real pairs is shorter while fake blue stitching is much longer.

We always need to be keen on details when checking to see how that double VV stitch should look for the real pairs which are denoted in the yellow VV, however with the fake pair orange tab stitching has an extra line this is denoted in black lines.

Wing Flaps

Next in is the wings or the inner flaps, see how the texture is for the real pairs smoother compared with fakes more hairy and rough.

Aside from texture check that color as well when checking for authenticity.

Here are the flaps for the Jordan 1 High Off-white NRG, again it's all about the texture and color. The real pair flap is smoother when compared with the fake.

There's a color difference between the two, however, we consider this not a good legit indicator. Notice the real pair color is darker when compared with the fake pair color is just light.

Zip Tie

The Zip tie is one of the components in legit checking, denoted in the yellow box for the retail and the black box for fakes.

Notice the font for the authentic zip tie is more pronounced neatly done and shiny, unlike the fake Zip tie font is less bold and not as shiny as the authentic one.

Insole Print

The Insole print for the real pair is consistent, and this print is a good legit checking indicator for deadstock pairs.

Denoted in the yellow arrow to point out how the X white is just defined and white in color, however with the fake pair insole prints are less defined.

Toe Box

The Jordan 1 High UNC Off-White toe box with real pairs is more round vs the replicated pair, but the most common flaw to notice is how the perforation holes on the fake pairs toe box are less pronounced, unlike the real pairs vent holes are more pronounced.

Here's a used off-white Jordan 1 off-white white pair vs Deadstock Jordan 1 high off-white fake pair, notice how it oxidized making the cushioning foam to yellow, unlike the fake pair color is still white after 5 years which is too suspicious.

But I also wanted to point out that the holes for the fake pair are smaller and the tape is almost impossible to notice, compared with real pairs vent holes are larger and pronounced with tape also more defined.
