Fake Jordans will often have some shoelace tabs that are looser than others. Look for high quality stitching. Inspect the shoes carefully for neat and professional looking stitching. Everything should look evenly spaced, with no unfinished edges or frayed threads.

Jordan Brand is celebrating the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with a special edition Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Origin Story'. Matching the pair seen in the film on Miles Morales, this AJ1 puts a twist on a classic colourway. Like Morales' character, the AJ1 is known for defying the norm.

Retros are recreations of an earlier model (the original is fittingly called an OG), re-released years later using different shoe-making technology with minor changes in material. That explains why there are so many Air Jordan 1s from different years, even though the OG was released in 1985.
