Added the lower part of the label to give you a clearer comparison of our Jordan 4 real vs fake. See the real pair of bigger yellow box clear font text, on the other hand, the fake size label seems to rub off that quickly and looks faded.
Box Label
Moving on with our real vs fake Jordan 4 Red Thunder comparison, denoted in the yellow rectangular box for the real description, if we compare both labels in the red box, the replicated pair or label failed to copy the right colorway.
Thus, even the Jump Man logo shape is not right. The real Jump Man is thicker while the fake Logo is too thin.
Tongue Label
Denoted in the yellow square for the real, check the arms how thick while the fake Jump Man shape is thinner, the shape of the trunk is another section to look at.
