Learn how to spot fake Nike Air Jordan 5's with this detailed 30 point step-by-step guide by goVerify.

4. Box Label

Nike Air Jordan 5 Retro retail boxes feature a label on one side detailing barcode, style name, size, color and a style number. The style number is usually 9 digits long, the first 6 digits represent the style and the last 3 digits represent the colourway. Check that this style number matches the one located inside the shoe and on the sales receipt. Tip 1: Do a Google image search for "Nike"+"style number" to check the colourway. Tip 2: scan the barcode with a barcode scanner app, the exact product including size should be correct.

11. Stitching Detail

Above the 23 on the side there is a point where the stitching crosses over from one panel onto the panel above, make sure the stitching is tight and evenly spaced.

14. Lace Lock

Air Jordan 5's will feature a clear plastic lace lock. On that clear plastic lace lock is an embossed Jumpman logo. Check the quality of embossing and make sure the edges are sharp and clear.
