Though I really do not want to mention this painful experience about air Jordan shoes, I still need to mention it. Here. It nearly has been 30 years since the first Nike air Jordan shoes released in 1985. To own a real Nike shoes is always on of my dream. One month ago, I made up my mind to buy a real one and I chose one of my favorite shoes in an official super market at a favorable discount price. With such a remarkable shoe on my feet makes me feel very pride. I dream of a chance to show my new Nike shoe every day. Several days ago, I got this chance to show my new shoes in a basketball match. I felt very good in the competition terrain with the shoes on my feet. But, suddenly, one sole of the shoe cracked after my jump. What a shame! Then, I decided to figure out how to distinguish between real shoes and fake shoes.

After google from the internet, I got some practical tips to avoid fake Jordan Shoes out on the market. I believe it is useful for all of you, so I publish it here for your reference.
1. The first place that you need to check is the production numbers. The number on the inside tag should be the same one on the shoe box.
2. Only original and retro shoes have swoosh on the outside. There are only Air Jordan that features the swoosh. Also, the original 2 - 8's do have one on the insole as well. If you find Nike swoosh's on Air Jordan shoes that not included in above ones, then it could not be a genuine product.
3. If the shoes you are seeing are wrapped in tissue paper, you need to be beware, because most Nike shoes were wrapped by standard brownish paper only.
4. Remember to check if the shoes have the Jumpman logo on chrome lace ends. Sometimes it's missing, but most cases you will find it with no problem.
Above is my experience about how to choose air Jordan shoes. If you have any more better tips for share, please kindly let me know.
