The black tag is the real Nike woven label. Inside the shoe, you will see the size label with the Jordan Jumpman logo (above). The fake shoe has the tag welded to the back of the tongue. On the real Jordan 1, the tag is sewn down on the inside.

Things You Should Know Look for bright, vibrant colors and high-quality leather and suede on legit Nikes. See if there is neat, even stitching around the soles and mesh panels. Check the logos on the tongue and heel to see if they're embossed with raised edges. Real Jordan logos have full, solid colors.
