So, I got this idea to check out the orange Jordan 4s. I heard a lot of buzz about them, and since I’m always up for trying new kicks, I thought, why not? I started by looking around, trying to figure out which ones were legit and which ones weren’t.
Checking the Real Deal
First thing I did was hit up some forums and groups online. I wanted to see what the sneakerheads were saying about spotting fakes. They had some good tips, like checking the size tag on the box. Apparently, that’s a big tell. Real Jordans have this specific info printed on the box label, and the fake ones often mess that up. So, I got a box and checked it out.
Digging Deeper
Next, I looked at the “AIR JORDAN” tags inside the tongue. I found out that’s another spot where fakes usually slip. The real ones have a certain look and feel to them, and the fakes just don’t get it right. I spent some time comparing these tags on a few pairs I found, and yeah, there’s a difference.
Rear Side Story
Then there’s the stuff on the back of the shoe. I learned that the inscriptions and logos on the rear should be sharp and clean on real Jordan 4s. Fakes often have them looking kinda rough or just off. I checked a few pairs, and I could see what they meant. It’s like night and day when you compare them side by side.
Legit Check Services
I also stumbled upon some services that do legit checks. Like, there’s this one called Dype that’s supposed to be pretty good. You send them pics, and they tell you if your shoes are real or not. It got me thinking, maybe I should try that out sometime. It seems like a solid way to make sure you’re not getting scammed.
Wearing Them Out
Once I had a pair that I was pretty sure were legit, I started thinking about how to wear them. I read that slim jeans work best with Jordan 4s. They make the shoes stand out more. Baggy jeans just cover them up, and that’s not the look I’m going for. I tried them on with a few different outfits, and yeah, slim jeans are definitely the way to go.
Final Thoughts
All in all, it was a fun little adventure diving into the world of orange Jordan 4s. I learned a lot about what to look for in real vs. fake pairs. Plus, I got some ideas on how to style them. It’s always cool to pick up new stuff like this, and I’m glad I took the time to do it right. Now, I’m just excited to rock these kicks and see how they feel out in the world.
