Notice how the font on the fake pair (denoted in the red box) is too bold compared with the retail pair which is denoted in the yellow box, another thing to mention here is that the spacing between the UPC numbers on the fake Jordan 4 Military black is more compact and less space, if we compare this with retail spacing is much better and clear.

On the other hand, which is denoted in the red line, we can see how it splits the body giving us the idea that it's not positioned properly or balanced. In other words, the fake Jordan 4 military black Jump Man is slanted.

One obvious difference in checking the Jordan 4 Military Black real vs fake comparison is also the color of that fabric used on the tongue, on the retail pair color is more like an off-white color while the fake Jordan 4 Military Black color tone is white.
