How to tell if an Air Jordan VII is Authentic or Fake

[TheMendez3535]

the way to tell if all jordans are real there is a hole at the bottom of both shoes under the sole

[RealizeHezeki]

at 4:20 - 4:38 are you talking about both sides of the shoe?

[ThemFStones]

@TheCtm405 : Noo they look like legit shoes there made from china and china money in american money is way cheaper trust me .

[JTH97518]

Got any suggestions on buying shoes from ebay

[rekm79]

do you recommend any website to buy the 7's from?

[sneakerfreaker231]

just got these in the mail and wasnt to sure at first glance if they were real but this video definitely helped me realize they were legit thanks for looking out

[jcchio13]

What up Jstar25 i just this Air jordan 7 raptor 2002 pickup, please check it out if its real or not, a reply is appreciated! /watch?v=fHnAWBv_X_I

[joeondope123]

flight club carry real jordans right?

[7SneakerFreak]

Do you know if the shoes from "sell jordans online " are real or fake? or how about "kick surl" ?

please respond asap. thanks

[MrSneakerhed]

I got 2011 cardinals. They look legit everywhere except under the insole. In one o them the stitching that holds the white patch down is white and the other is black. The toung on one of them has a minor defect, and on the End of the toung by the toe box one of them is a little wider that the other. FAKE or B GRADES? HELP

[remixer412]

My Cardinals are are real (: lol thanks i was late to get them cuzz i was tight on money but still paid what they cost $150

[TheCtm405]

i need to know if there fake from this site

jordanretro7

[2323mw2]

@TheCtm405 soooo fake man

[Prone2Disaster]

your comment about the shoe laces made me lol hahahaha

[WhatsLyrics]

Saw my ex wearing some fakes today and I laughed my ass off. It was a black, red, & white colorway and had some crazy horrible red stitching done. It was her first pair of Js & she treats it like they're Nike Mags or something lol. Someone handed down some fakes to her, I know my cw's.

[Azucenaa94]

ok so i heard that the 7s are SUPPOSED to come with metal laces? are they really supposed to cause mine didn't? & what if my cousin bought his Jordan's at Shiek? do they carry real Jordan's there?

[jstar25]

@Azucenaa94 Are you Jordan's youth sized? My video's are about adult sizes not youth, so those would be different. -Peace

[redbullcookiemonster]

Great video but is there any way to clean white laces on some olympics?

[MARi2COOL]

My Bordeauxs ripped where the bottom lace is in that corner, I was wondering if they were fake because I got them off of Ebay, but my Sneaker matches with everything you said in the vid so idk maybe its just how the quality in newer Retros have decreased or idk.. Someone help

[bananaswag45]

thank you man, ive been trying to figure out if a pair of 7s was fake or not and now i know.

[55fyasko]

Do all the orion sevens tounge pattern have to be the same?

[Raidernationisaac]

@55fyasko NO they dont,

[YeshuaIsKing]

big up! good on you for doing this!

[zKiMBo1]

@jatar25 thanks dude

[zKiMBo1]

@Jstar25 I got Jordan 7 gs size 7. my friend say that my 7s are fake but i bot them at footlocker. I know that my are real. How can I tell then that thay are real.Please help me

[jstar25]

@zKiMBo1 Truthfully these don't sound like good friends if they are calling you a liar. Just show them the receipt, obviously if you got them from footlocker they are real. Your "friends" saw the kicks so there probably is no convincing them if they don't what is real or fake. -Peace

[SuperHellogoodbye22]

@jstar25  what do u mean by cleartoe??

[AnthonyA9605]

The thickness of the tongue...

[Imtaylorice]

on the bordeaux 2011 does it have the tiny dot you mentioned?

[emack1102]

@2823Tay in sorry to tell u but mentalkicks is not an authentic site. The 7s u hav may be real but that website is known for sailing fakes

[jstar25]

@emack1102 Do you have proof of your own to support that claim? I'd be interested to hear it or see it, be kind of wrong to call a company fake if you haven't confirmed it for yourself. Inbox with any details you have on them. -Peace

[zebrpenguin2]

i think 7s are the hardets fakes too tell

[3452g5]

or .. go to footlocker ? :)

[2823Tay]

I bought some olympic 7's from mentalkicks and the silver piece doesn't connect in between everything else is good can you help me please

[NiceSockss]

@NYCplatinum05 Flight Club is 100% percent authentic, but ridiculously overpriced.

[ChipmunkTEEF]

Rmk is a legit store so if you wanna see a bunch go look

[URMOMSFATLOL]

I just bought som olympics off eBay for 80$ . Prob fake . Ha I'm stupid.

[cruzito90bby]

are kids size 7 jordans fake or real ??? and i buy dem from footlocker

[sneakerhead1277]

@cruzito90bby lol theyre real

[eyeoftiger101]

@jstar25 kinda dumb question but is the Nike store legit for buying j's ?

[sneakerhead1277]

@eyeoftiger101 yes lol

[TheFrozenIpod]

after watching this video i see how half of the olympics on ebay are fake

[NiceSockss]

Hey Jstar, this is kinda off topic, but would a pair of DS 2002 Raptor 7's still be suitable for wear? Thanks.

[NateTheSneakerhead]

The main thing i loo for on any shoe is the tag. On the tag if it says UPC0000 somewhere its %100 authentic. If it says something like PAT0000 it is defiantly fake.



[jstar25]

@NateTheSneakerhead Sorry but that is a misconception, I have a video that addresses the myth you should check it out. Bottom line PAT and UPC are present on authentic Jordan's just depends on their release date. -Peace

[SwaggBrosEnt]

@jstar25 yea hes rite i have og raptor 7s and they hav that PAT w.e. on em

[Xxsynysterg8sxX]

Good vids man. Quick question... Did i get a good deal for getting orion 7s for 100 at footlocker? because the cardinals right next to them were 150

[Respectskill]

Bin 23 7s how do u tell ?

[definitely2fresh]

hey at 7:40 you said the line needs to meet up with the two areas, my bordeaux 2011s dont touch both? on one pair it does and on the other pair it doesnt. i got it off eastbay. and in flight club the picture of bordeaux doesnt touch both either. what does that suppose to mean? is my pair a fake?

[anthonychrisbradley]

Great vid. I might my first 7's soon, but I like the Oreo 6's aswell. Which one do you like more?

[jstar25]

@anthonychrisbradley Think I mentioned the Olympic 7's are my favorite 7 of them all. -Peace

[Swagoholic]

lol im watching that game from ur baseball picture behind you



[MaGiiK35]

what you say inthe video is tru people that like have to know that what there buying is real

[nyonde1]

he is lieing to you guys ok

[jstar25]

@nyonde1 LOL... yeah okay.

[bossman62012]

I think I need to send u my Raptors

[bossman62012]

I remember the see through 7s niggas swear they was real

[jstar25]

@xxxxHamsxxxx You know why no one answered you, because you posted the same comment 4 times and YouTube marked you as a spammer. All you have to do is post it ONE time, that's all. -Peace

[cb22418]

for all you bin 23 lovers some of those things dont apply for the bin 23s like the bin 23 doesnt touch at the front.....

[jayletsgo]

on the right shoe is the 23 on the back suppose to b the 3 first or the 2

[jayletsgo]

i need help

[817ogi]

Dayum You Kinda Cute!

[meeny1000]

my bad lol

[RealSneakerhead352]

Broo thank you so much for this video, i just got some magic 7's i bought a guy and i know see i spent 200 on fake shoes sooooo someones getting a big ol' can of whoop ass tonight....and mabye fire? ^^^BURN DEM FAKES

[DWLSProductions1]

very very helpful thanks a lot :)

[meeny1000]

I have these new relesed cardinal 7s from foot locker theyre a size 7 and the front lines just touch the bend not both parts are they fake yes or no every thing is right except that.

[jstar25]

@meeny1000 Did you have to post the same message 3 times? LOL.

If you bought your shoes at FootLocker you have NOTHING to worry about. -Peace

[2pactheking400]

@jstar25 but u said all real 7s have the line that touches both parts not just the bend so which is it because i also got my cardinal 7s from foot locker and they only touch the bend in the video u said if they touch the bend only then there fake

[jstar25]

@2pactheking400 Somewhere in the 300+ comments we already determined that was a size specific thing. Footlocker is legit no need to worry, I'll be pulling this video down and redoing it because I get this same type of comment over and over again. -Peace

[RanDOMDUde5501]

do all of the colorways have the 9 or do some have 23?

[jstar25]

@RanDOMDUde5501 ONLY the Olympics have a 9 on the back because he wore 9 during the Olympics. -Peace

[albertosainz07]

@RanDOMDUde5501 the olympics have 9, a lot of 7's have 23 likethe cardinals and difininq moments

[CastroTheGreat]

Damn kid I see you know about Js and shit.. I just bought these 7s from eBay for $135. I feel beat but I really don't know if it's certain. Do you think you can make a video of your Cardinal 7's like how you made for the Olmpic colorway 7s? If you did I'd definitely appreciate it kid

[jstar25]

@CastroTheGreat Sorry but no I can't because I do that special one for you then everyone is going to request a special video for a particular colorway. The colorway doesn't really matter as long as you know it's a real colorway, the stitching and design is the same just different colors so Cardinals are just like Hares, Olympics (except with a 23 on the back instead of a 9), Raptors etc etc.

Sorry I don't get paid to do this so I try to make 1 work for all colorways of a release. -Peace

[mcluvin28x]

Where did you cop these 7's ? does $270 sound right ? (if anything theyre probably more than 300)

[xChillKidx]

also ive seen real ones that the silver piece does touch the other material on one out of the pair but the other does and i know they are real b/c he bought from a legit site

[xChillKidx]

cant you tell just by looking on the inside tag on the tongue?

[xChillKidx]

i have these and they are my fav 7s

[THADOUGHBOY15]

MY LEAST FAVORITE JORDANS

[850SneakerHead]

Some of the stuff u are sayin isn't true...

[jstar25]

@850SneakerHead I'm probably due to make an updated version... I realize some items are size specific and mold specific so I should correct it and make a new one. My own biggest complaint with the video is the leather wrap to the front of the toe midsole cap. Also 7's have released again since I did this video so yeah... I need to make updates. Thanks for the comment.

[steelbz]

Just a quick tip for people with small feet, JORDAN VII GS size: all these things are the same as far as checking for authenticity, EXCEPT for the part that comes down in front. For GS, that part only touches down on the front rubber part of the shoe! NOT both the front & side, like in the vid.

Just throwing that out there..

[gwar141010]

jstar25 would you please check out my jordan vii fake vs real video please they are the new jordan vii cardinals -peace.

[donkeynipples1]

can u do one of these videos with the bordeaux 7's?

[XtremeMedia97]

I have a question. I have Jordan Retro 7 Pearls and they have checked out to be fine shoe-wise. I looked at the tongue and its real material and everything but the colors are in a different order than the picture on flight-club. Any thoughts?

[850SneakerHead]

@XtremeMedia97 all tongue are different...



[largeonthestreets]

hey jstar how come u dont make videos about fake jordan 6 rings

[jstar25]

@largeonthestreets Cause I don't cop them and for the most part those don't increase in value like the signature line does. But I'm sure sooner or later I will. -Peace

[LongHairNvrKare]

I have been looking online for some olympic 7s and in a lot of the pictures the tongue looks purple. are they fake or do u think its just the lighting or camera setting? Everything else about them seemed right...

[SupraFootwear21]

Thanks I got tricked into buying a pair of clear toed sevens

[LogisticThoughts]

so are these applicable to the j7 raptors as well?

[uskingofthesouthful]

good job nice vid thanks got to get me some cardinal 7s

[edDDBoiE]

You are extremely helpful :D I'm an amateur sneakerhead. First pair was the OG XVIII white/red. Stopped for years. Started again this year with my wolf greys.

[blackFau]

Just got a pair of Bordeaux and how should the inside tongue look should it have " Jumpman ,size and then made in china ?

[narutosucks25]

are these on all 7's?

[vic4life2165]

hey um on the jordan 7 theres a leaf the love of the game leaf idk if its a size thing but if it is wat shoe size r u??? by the way luv ur vids

[pumpumassassin]

jstar also check out this site in52.net...tell me what ya think about it

[KillerKev187]

whats up Bro,I like ur videos. Check these out please....

Jordan 7-009...on cheapsneaker they look so real according to what you said

[jstar25]

@KillerKev187 The site us called CHEAPsneaker I'm going to let you do the math on that one. -Peace

[keninja8]

I have a question about the TOUNGE on the 7's.. I know you said that the tounge should not be lower in height, but on the ORLANDO 7's the tounge is lower in height. Is that the only execption? I hope you can reply to this comment. Thanks! God Bless.

[bazty55]

Do the tongue on the Cardinals become discolored from age???

does it turn like a goldish/ yellowish color???

[DzoanDuong]

how much is this shoe worth now ?

[yankeesaregood]

how many pairs of jordans do you have?

[sneakoviedo]

I found something you said about the 7 that is NOT true. Im not bashing and I do watch your videos as well as give you props. My cousin wears a size 11.5 in the jordan 7 and where you said that the "bend" should touch both the front and sole that is not true. His clearly goes over JUST the front and not even close to touching the sole. you say this around the 4:27 mark. I can make a video to prove it and I personally bought them from footlocker so they are authentic

[jstar25]

@sneakoviedo I believe you, no need to go through making a video about it. Somewhere back in all these comments we found that it's a size thing so that was my bad. -Peace

[Ms2flyy00]

You shouldnt even have to make this video Imean how do ppl not know if their shoes are fake O_o

[shanicecole30]

jus wanted ur insight but do u think the sneakers on jb.kickz.com preferably the Air Jordan 12 OG Playoff...i looked at most of ur videos and wanted ur opinion...thanks

[DzoanDuong]

im dead serious i agree with you on the fake part how you say your not the type of person that wears fakes and yoour videos are for people alike you who like to wear real sneaks . not pun intended to people who wear fakes, its just how people roll with it

[ohhIiRush]

dawggg u a life saver!

[KOBELOU2]

You act like you don't care if people wear fakes, or that you think fakes are ok. But on the video you said " if you wear fakes, and you think your cool" sounds like your a hater. Later hater.

[jstar25]

@KOBELOU2 Whatever you say buddy. I wear real does that make me cool? Nope. Cool is a state of mind brother. -Peace

[tamal503]

It Looks Like You Get Alotta Stupid Questions lol, Good Thing You're Doing Though

[Tonyfly10]

@Jstar25 mi VII passed everything but on the back it just has a normal number 23 Reather than the triangle thing are these a fake????

[unioncity]

How do they fit?

[Toastman12]

Thank you

[megrimlockisking]

dude the 7s has got to be the hardest one to spot..i came across the 7 olympic yesterday at this souvenir store and to my surprise there it was a perfect size 10 olympics and the owner wanted it for 100 bucks in cash..i checked all the details per your video and i look at the box as well...everything checks out fine down to the number nine in the back, gold lace tips etc.the stitching and the gluing is perfect too..but i just feel like its tacky and passed on it

[dacbiet]

@megrimlockisking

The 13s are the hardest t judge if it's fake or not.

[cjstyles23]

I like dis video keep it up bro

[MrFuhrer2009]

@onmyhustle1 Of course they're real at the nike store or outlet you idiot, Nike is the company that made Jordans possible in the first place, why would a company that supports Jordan sell fakes? C'mon man.

[deecosavage]

the inside of youth 7's do they have the liner that connects the tung to the pull tab and i am talkin about the hare 7's that came out in the countdown pack

[onmyhustle1]

Jordans @ Nike outlet are real right?

[xxxlatinoxxxxxx]

I have a fake pair of Jordans VII and all the stuff you are explaing about authentic shoes i have the detials on the fake ones , and i bought them for $34.99 so you're wrong.

[jstar25]

@xxxlatinoxxxxxx Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep better at night. -Peace

[cmfunk12]

thank you so much man! this helped me figure out if my bordeaux's were forreal!

[aaronemem]

[siddiwiddyrajan]

[arizonatea1234567]

this guy is too real

[enavarro1503]

I have some 7 but their all black.. everything is good that you covered upset for the tongue is not much higher and the back says 23 but I'm guessing they're a newer model???

[713TLe]

[iPhoneIsTheBestPhone]

thx, & how long should i camp out the day before ? like lets say the true blue 3s or the concord 11s...what time would you go the day before ?

[iPhoneIsTheBestPhone]

[jstar25]

@iPhoneIsTheBestPhone Yes

[arizonatea1234567]

@jstar25 hey what do u think about 35usd.com are there jordans real or fake?

[jstar25]

@arizonatea1234567 Come on dude, I really try to answer everyone and help, you can't be serious asking me about that site. If you think it's real then go head and waste your money. -Peace

[rhettrorocket43]

Hey Jstar i have a verryyyy important question. About 2 years ago, i bought a pair of olympics in store at flight club LA before i was a true sneaker head. Two things aren't right. The Metallic part doesn't touch both pieces of the shoe for one part of them, and the stitching by the tongue lines up with the stitching below the one you showed in the vid. Any comments to that? should i ask for money back? or will they not do that since i've used them? Please help! Thank you.

[jstar25]

@rhettrorocket43 If you bought them at FlightClub then you have nothing to worry about. Probably just slight quality differences so don't trip. -Peace

[megrimlockisking]

@jstar25 I agree..i have just bought the retro bordeaux and the side part that was supposed to touch both pieces of the shoe was not exactly lined up perfectly but other than that it's really a quality craftmanship judging from the overall stitching, gluing, and the built of the shoe itself.plus i bought it from a trusted seller.i'm not so to speak a sneakerhead nor a collector but if you were to own a Jordan, buy the original or else you defeat the whole purpose of it.cheers.

[siddiwiddyrajan]

TY man

[laishuoer]

[MrFuhrer2009]

But I want the Aqua 8s real bad and I can't find them anywhere in Virginia and I still don't trust online retailers do you find them? I'm going to Toronto next weekend is there anywhere Toronto, Canada I cam find them?

[djuan292]

does the date on the tongue inside the north carolina 7s suppose to be flipped upside down?

[senoirjack]

3 questions:

1.what do you do that allows u to buy so many fuckin Jordans?

2.how many do u pairs do u have?

3.do they sell all the jordans at all footlockers and fooractions?

[jstar25]

@senoirjack I'm a self employed web developer. Don't know how many but it's not as many as people might think I've been cutting back and selling a lot of my shoes, not sure what your last question means exactly but those stores sell authentic sneakers they don't get every release but they get most. -Peace

[senoirjack]

@jstar25 sorry the last question i meant was were would i be able to get the whole Jordan like 1 through 20?

[SoBeasti]

J.Star, check out my 7s pleaseeeeee. im not new to the shoe game but its my first 7s and im really confuse

[MPK4life]

a bro do the air jordan 7 retro come in black and white??

[gottahavekix]

on the citrus 7's is the black suppose to be a bit faded? like a darkish type grey? or is it suppose to be a solid black? cause i heard from some people say its a charcoal/smokey type color not black and others say its solid black lmk

[ILOVEVAIO150]

thanks man, meeting up and copping the Olympics next month. my first pair of vii lol

Hey Jstar..
