Jordan 4 Retro Off-White Sail (W)

For today's real vs. replica feature, we've chosen the highly coveted Off-White x AJ4 Jordan 4 'Sail', which has many different replica versions on the market.

Shoe box - being a special drop, this pair uses a new side label. As you can see from the picture above, the appearance of 'UK', 'BR', 'CM', and 'EUR' are consistent in terms of font type and size on the real box, which is however not the case on the replica version. 

Inside Label - the LN3 denotes the factory this particular pair was manufactured in, which happens to be in Fujian, China. Both labels use a hot-melt adhesive, but the craftsmanship on the real label looks much more natural. 

Each of the numbers in '100' and '00' should be evenly spaced and the same height. The replica version in this case has wide spacing between each of the numbers, and they also vary in height (some are higher than others).

Back of Insole - this AJ4 applies clear glue in a teeth-like pattern on the back of the insole, which looks grainy. The glue pattern covers approximately two thirds of the entire surface. The replica version, in contrast, has a yellow glue pattern and the insole is smoother. 

Given the real AJ4 has several versions manufactured by different factories, this article only compares a particular version. To get a pair checked thoroughly, visit LEGIT APP and let our Authenticators do the work for you.
