  • Thanks man this kid is selling me these and I gotta now if it's fake or not

  • thanks man that help a lot. i thought i orderered a fake pair of white cement 3s off menta kicks because a lot of people say that mental kicks is fake but im almost positive there real. my shoes look good and legit

  • @themjv1 Mental Kicks is legit! -Peace

  • Hey, man. Just wanted to know how is the quality of the Firered 3s in terms of the recent true blues and cements. Thanks a lot for your help, man. I enjoy watching your videos and you really educate me on the shoegame!

  • how do u tell if 7s are real or fake

  • hey what size are the laces of the air force one low?

  • i beat up my cement 3s nd they look beautiful lol

  • Thanks man i was about to buy some true blues and i looked at the side and no holes

  • Awesome vid bro!

  • im buyin these

  • thanks jstar25, its guys like you who keep the the sneaker culture alive, well, and og(original). one love

  • @8732mikeo Truly appreciate it! Trying to do a little more with each passing day. -Peace

  • damn fucking chinks!! they want to knock offs everything in this earth!! they even try to knock off the US aircraft carrier!! can you believe that!!!

  • were can i buy some authintic jays that are not overprised like flight club thanks

  • @lumensable uptempoairdotcom

  • Does the stiching by the lace hole on the cement three go all the way down? it doest touch at the top but does touch at the bottom. Are they fake if that is the case?

  • Comment removed

  • Hey does the elephant print from the True Blue 3s have the dots from 2:30?

  • Dope man..thanks for the heads up..jus got some fake 3's in the black coloroway nd needa sell them

  • were did you get these fire red threes i want some

  • Can someone give a trustable website to get FAKE jordans, cause im gnna customize them myself, but i dont want to do it on my real jordans?

  • Can someone tell me what ISS stands for or what it is? hahah I know im looking stupid right now but yeah. could you? is it a website if so whats the link?

  • 3s are pretty hard especially with all of the vaeiations

  • also the jordan on the bottom is easy to toll there needs to be white in it

  • lol ur beat pair is prett clean

  • @DjAO18 What does "hook you up" mean? You mean give you a pair?

  • Fakes are no good. I initially thought "as long as it's an og colorway and they look good, no prob" Wrong. Rubbery and super uncomfortable - fakes simply aren't even worth the time. After an hour my feet hurt so bad, won't even use my fake 3's for rain shoes. Got an real pair of 2011 retros - major difference

  • I'm sure someone else has already posted this, but another way to tell fake 3's is the Jordan logo on the sole of the sneaker. If the Jordan name on the bottom is thick and alot of red paint, then they are fake. The Jordan on the bottom should be thin red paint. Peace2

  • thats exactly me too.....i dont even care if their fake as long as the colorway is good to go!!!

  • damn these are so fresh i need to go and cop a pair

  • I was just reading the comment and just wanna say u can all ways tell the real sneakerheads and it's all love!! If the world was run by us kickaddicts there would be no wars... To busy looking good!!!

  • is this for the black cats too?

  • i completely agree my dude, dope video, and dope sneakers, keep it up!

  • i have the same beat up pair

    

  • hey, can you please post a video about how to tell if you have fake 2's? -Peace

  • I see you listenin to snoop dogg doggystyle, where do you get your music anyway

  • hey do u have spacejams

  • aye man haha props on the vid, i have a big jordan collection too man. BUt just wanted to say my favorite nba team is the Bulls haha we are 3rd in the East above Miami to haha. Damn Rose and booz doin work! anywaysholla back!

  • Comment removed

  • hey can you do a video on what to look for in real jordan 2s?? i been looking around at some pairs/images and i dont know what to look for

  • Thanks for the video. Had some j"s in 2003 that I alwayz thought were fake. Then I buy real fire reds and they fit right. But going by your advice the cements are real. I dunno.

  • @92crome YES

  • nice analysis man. just bought a pair of threes for cheap. you helped me determine that they are for sure knock offs. but still a good looking shoe.

  • hi dude! i'm from mexico, how can i differentiate the jordan dtrt of the fakes?? thanks..

  • @MsYankis They are III's they ate the same as I described just different color. Stitching and shape are the same. -Peace

  • @jstar25 thanks bro!!

  • @jstar25 how come your "beat up 3's" don't have creases?!!

  • @MsYankis jump the border come on over

  • the price is obvious too

  • thats what I said the colors look straight its all good. i want some white 3s

  • my 3s passed every indication it would be real, stitching, dots and leathers, but the jordan on the tongue is not stitched and the size label is not behind the tongue it on the "inside foot" side nor is it red behind the tongue or grey underneath... same box as yours and side sticker color scheme white metallic silver blak argmet.. the realisom of the sneaker got me stuck in the mid, maybe u can drop the hammer on the whole situation

  • yo jstar should i get some tru blue 3s or fire red 3s

  • to me its so obvious. you dont have to point out lil details like the stitchin that you have to get up close to see and all that... just look at the back parts of the shoe.. on the fake 3's its obviously much smaller overall than the reals

  • @xxliljpxx sure it's obvious to you a sneakerhead what about Lil Timmy's mom who wants to get her son a fresh pair for Christmas and sees a pair and think those are real sure I'll pay $300 for them, then Timmy goes to school looking fresh in his mind and gets busted out and then tells mom and she realizes she spent $260 more than she should have for a fake shoe.

    It's not really about you the true sneakerhead it's to help others not get robbed. -Peace

  • @jstar25 The chances of lil timmy gettin busted out is slim to none. Unless the color is real suspect.

    Like you stated in the vid...real jordans and fake jordans are pretty much aligned with each other nowadays. Me personally I rock fakes all the time because "it doesn't have little holes on the side" is not a good enough reason for me to spend an extra $300 wwwzalezapparelcom

  • Subscribed!!!!

  • Good looks on the tip buhhhhhhhh saying u like beat up jordans is like sayin u like watchin 2 girls 1 cup when I see a og pair in perfect condition it's like art lol jus me tho

  • @ImAPOMPO Just beat up III's... Not all Jordan's just something about a beat pair of III's takes my back.

  • @jstar25 really then should i scoop up true blue 3s or flint 13s cuz well ineed that back to school heat lol

  • They make these soo good now it's hard as hell to tell i seen some true blue's and i was praisin my homie for copin and he was like..they're fake..and bein a sneaker head since 11...i was like...O.o?

  • wassup jstar i was wondering how do you stop the paint on the jordan 3 from cracking and how do you get the yellowing off the back heel of the jordan 3 and prevent the yellowing from coming?

    Thank alot bro!

  • Nice thanks for the info!!

  • say jstar25 wuz good man i had a question about some 3 im about to buy som flip 3 but do you recomend dem bro presiate your time

  • @olwayshigh I have a pair, I don't like the insole that much but the shoe is nice. I'd buy a pair if the price was nice, I wouldn't go out of my way for them though. -Peace

  • Yo does this go for OG 3's too ?

  • Thanks Jesus, I spotted my new pair as fakes within 3 minutes with your video

  • yo jstar which 3 should i get the cool grey 3 or flip 3 or do the right thing 3

  • @JretroV I don't really care for any of them so they are all the same to me. Get what's cheapest. -JE

  • Are you sure the IIIs on uptempoair are authentic?

  • @bdov23 UptempoAir is authentic no doubt.

  • flips or fire reds also how do you make wearable shoe tree's

  • @TheLogic497 OG Colorways are always better than non-OG Colorways in my opinion, so Fire Reds!

    I don't really get into shoe trees that much so I couldn't tell you. If you trying to prevent creasing while you wear your shoes get some Force Fields from your local sneaker spot. -Peace

  • @jstar25 thanks

  • @TheLogic497 get wearable shoe trees, they are a lot better then force fields

  • @baseballkid444 okay

  • Hey can anyone tell me where i can find a store in manhatan with all air jordan 3's colours?? i'm visiting NY and i wanna get like 3 or 4 pairs

  • the true blue is in my top 10 fav. jordans the fire red is in my top 20

  • Hey I just wanted to know on the fire red 3's n the cement grey 3's is the elephant print suede ?

  • Hey, I noticed that your "beat pair" isn't really cracking on the midsole, how do you prevent it from cracking? I want to get a pair of mochas but not sure if I want to drop the cash on something that may crack after some wear

  • @Aerseus I've done nothing special... I just wear them whenever I want. Just got a good pair I suppose. Mocha's are getting up there in age... not sure paint chipping should be your biggest concern. Either way I don't do anything out of the norm to keep them un-cracked. -Peace

  • Yo jstar your videos are nice..i like watching them..keep up the good work bro..i look up to you and your sneaker game..check my videos out and tell me what you think man! Peace

  • Hey I got 2 pair of Jordan 3s. One has Nike on the sole 1 has Jordan. The ones jordan wore back in the day had Nike on the sole. The ones you have in the video have Jordan. Is this just a matter of the reissue jordans vs the old school jordans?

  • @BestTits Yup, just difference in releases. -Peace

  • Wut up "J"? Ya got ANY 2003 White Cement 3's? If so, POST EM'. I just got mine and they are FRESH. They are the LAST BEST RETRO. Hands down. Hit me. Peace!

  • @TRUTHWILLMANIFEST LOL I do but no reason to post them though. I think that time frame quality was better those the Olympic VII's and a couple others in 03-04 were still good. Now it's hit and miss, some are good some are not so good.

    Oh an my bad for not getting back to you sooner. -Peace

  • @jstar25 02-04 had some haaaaarrrrdd hittin releases...was probably the best year to get into retro's

  • your awsome!!!!!!!!!11

  • Thanks for bringing the flips in for that couple seconds! Just got a DS pair for 130

  • thats so true about jordan brand cuttin corners

  • 2who made you the expert ?

  • who made you the expert ?

  • @calidonksquad Never said I was but I am pretty knowledgable on the subject. Really this started with 1 video and through feedback and requests from people I just kept on making them. I suppose my question to you is why are you asking me this? It's pretty obvious I have been able to help people out, don't believe I've hurt anyone in the process. Well expect maybe counterfeiters but what they do is illegal anyway and I'm just helping those see what's real vs what's fake. -Peace

  • Great point man.IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUY FAKES GOOD A GOOD QUALITY AND MAKE SURE YOUR COLORWAY IS RIGHT.Don't go buying gucci jordans.

  • What size shoe are you?

  • would fake ones be just as cool?

  • @jstar25 im thinking of getting some fire red 3's do they run big or true to size

  • @fearlessSoldier86 I think all J's run true to size so I'm really the wrong person to ask about that. What size do you wear, might have a pair available for you. -Peace

  • @jstar25 size 9-91/2.

  • @jstar25 i'm confused... you said there are little holes on the gray part of the 3s. i noticed that on the DTRT 3s the authentics dont have holes.. is that how its supposed to be? thanks mah dude

  • @FoSheezyMikeezyDoot Guess your right about those. Stitching and shape and everything else is still as described in the video. Funny this video been up a long time and your the first to point that out, thanks I'll make a note in the video. -Peace

  • I want to buy jordan 3 true blues, but i dont know where to find them cheap

    any suggestions?

  • @28realmadrid28 Nope, no such thing as cheap authentic True Blue III's, be around $300 range for real pair of True Blue's. -Peace

  • u should make a video of all your shoes

  • Thank you for the videos its very informing

  • hey where did you get the 3's

  • my bad that u.p.c p.a.t is all bull shit belived the wrong people, i watched ur other video u right

  • the way to tell a real from a fake is lok at the size tag in the shoe and look at bottom were there all those codes and shit before it has the codes look right in front and u will ether see u.p.c or p.a.t now if it says u.p.c there real now if it says p.a.t then ther fake this has worked on all of my shoes

  • Just sent you a link to another video that talks about this very subject. -Peace

  • i feel you but personally i would feel dumb wearin fakes!!!! i would feel cheap

  • bumping doggystyle ayyy

  • hows 175 shipped for fire red 5s?

  • if a jordan 8 white and orange doesnt have a hole under the sole and barcode is it fake?

  • I'm not even sure what you mean. Can you elaborate a little more for me? -Peace

  • @jstar25 you know when you take out the sole of any jordan shoe its suppose to have a hole under it if a shoe doesnt have it is it fake

  • should i get some 3s or 6s

  • 3's and 6's are both mad fresh, depends on the colorways you debating between. -Peace

  • maan get a life!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Dog you watching my videos at 5AM telling me to get a life. Really?

  • LOL!!

  • @jstar25 LOL! he hating on a vid at 5am

  • Jstar25 u dropped more than a few jewels in here ... gotta check out more of your vids

  • Thanks, jstar! You helped me out big-time. I was on the fence about bidding on a pair of 3's on ebay and your tutorial helped me detect them. I'm usually good at spotting fakes, but the 3's are tough(especially if you're viewing on the 'net and don't have them in your hand). You and rikobananas did a great job. Keep it up!

  • Id do anythingfor some fire reds for real

    3s are my FAVORITE shoe not even just my favorite jordans and i only got the black cats cuz online all the 3s tooo expensive

  • i dont know if this is trueee or not but my friend told me that on some of the shoes inside tag that show the size on the bottom it would either say UPC or PAT upc = authentic and real pat = fake.idk if its truee

  • @Chris97yo

    Jstar has a video.

    let me break it down for you,

    2005 & before, Jordans had PAT.

    2006 & on, they had UPC,

    But between 2005 & 2006, the had some transition going on within the tag, so they would have UP4 or something, not exactally sure, & i dont know what Jordans came out within that transition, but I know the Final Shot XIV have UP4 (again not 100% sure if thats the exact code, but its not UPC or PAT) just to clarify

  • ya bro i know he sent me the vid thx though

  • I just checked most of mine n dey said UPC , gud lookin out

  • well yaa most of the Js 2004 -2005 say pat so if they r dont throw em out

  • watch his video where he explains that. all jordans past 2005(?) upc to pat or vice versa

  • I just got a pair of Fire Reds from Sneaker father and the heel Tab was yellow. Is that fixable or like why did that occur?

  • can someone tell me if the sement print is suede? plz reply back im planning on getting a pair of fire reds

  • its spelled cment. oh if u find any authentic sites, tell me

  • Also feel the cement and if it has no texture then the shoe is fake that is the #1 way how i find out if the III's are fake

  • when i was younger i hated the 3's but now i have shoe trees

  • Will you please take a look at my JORDAN AND SB COLLECTION video and let me know if My 2001 True Blue 3s are real. B/c this dude thinks theyre fake. Pleae and thank you. GOod look

  • Wutz up bro?? I have a quick question. Did the paint on your Jordan 3 White-Fire Reds crack and chip yet??

    Peace!!

  • I have no answer for the paint chipping that happens on III's. I know some people take the time to repaint them but for me I just accept the nature of the beast. III's chip, XIII's crease, all clear soles turn yellow over time, IV's midsoles do crumble over time; just is what it is.

    I use to worry about that stuff but now I just wear them enjoy them because sooner or later they'll retro again. -Peace

  • Comment removed

  • Specifically my III's did have like hair line cracks on the red on the midsoles. I have not repainted them because as I stated in the video I like a beat pair of III's and I don't really mind it, as it is the nature of the beast. I also have a pair that I haven't worn and will probably pull those out next summer from time to time for casual wear.

    Most people with severe chipping actually wear their III's all the time, ballin in them etc so have to expect that to happen. -Peace

  • aye bro, do you know how to fix cracking in the III's?

  • I love 3's, but they crack way to easy.

  • SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME, which 3s should I get, the fire reds, or the 01 Black, cement gray, which one do you guys prefer, with jeans and what not.

  • You have to be original and buy what you like, don't worry about what others would want you to buy.

    For the record the price for 01 III's is way to high considering there's a chance you wouldn't really be able to rock them like you hope to because they will damage easier do to age. -Peace

  • Lol I was throwing a fake pair of true blues in the garbage. Before I did that I compared it to some fire reds I just bought of NIke Talk that are really legit. Man I notice the same exact things as you. The lace wholes stitching doesn't continue all the way, but on the fakes it does. Same with the holes. There are other things though, the thick leather trim, and the A on the back is square on the top with the fakes instead of pointy.

  • tnx for this gonna cop myself a pair of true blues 09' the difference of the 01 and 09 is the 09 has a darker heel than the 01

  • The most significant and "Easiest" way to tell if the Jordan 3 is "Fake", is the Elephant Print. The "Authentic" Elephant Print is ENGRAVED into the leather. The "Fake" Elephant Print is just that, a print, it is PRINTED on the shoe not ENGRAVED into the leather. This is the best way to identify if they are "Fakes". PEACE!!!!

  • question, if u have a pair of the fire red 3's and the red part from the mid-sole starts to chip like only after times worn, is that an indicator that its frake? like a crinkle All the way round ya know

  • I gave plenty of things to look at to tell it they are real or not. Unfortunately cracking/chipping is the nature of the beast, I wouldn't chalk them up as being fake because the paint chipped because it happens. -Peace

  • ya, as far as the things you mentioned it passed all those tests. i just had never had a pair of the 3's, never liked em too much, but this colorway is hot. thats all i needed to know. good lookin out homie!!

  • how can u tell if blackcats r fake

  • Everything is the same, just the shoe is black. Check the area around the lace holes, that's a DEAD give-a-way every time. -JE

  • Nah man, the midsole of the iii's is notorious for paint chipping. I owned an OG pair of black cement iii's and the paint still chipped. Even though some people say they dyed the iii's before. The definitely stopped dyeing all the 3's released after 2000. The shoe should just feel really cheap and fall apart. Jordan's shoes are high quality and they don't hurt your feet like fake J's.

  • damn dood, i wish i have those better quality jordans, cause i been hearing about the quality going bad like u said. i only got into jordans last year so i dont even hav any shoes that are from before 2005. i think the aqua retro is the oldest shoe i have.

  • Also, the back part is stitched to the back on my 6Y fire reds. Is that supposed to be like that?

  • Couldn't tell you, I don't wear youth sizes or don't have any to look at, neither of my sons have III's. to be honest they don't even wear J's that often anymore. Hopefully someone else will see you post and help out. -Peace

  • I have a pair of fire red 3s size 6Y. There's only 2 red lace holes instead of 3 and the back part doesn't extend all the way to the top, so more red would show. Is that cause it's 6Y or is it fake?

  • good video but it only apply's to new jordans 2004 and up. OG 3's 1994's and 1999's are higher then todays retros and the paint doesnt crack as easy and the holes on old 3's are spaced differently. good video

  • Thanks, yeah I wasn't speaking in older retros and OG's, just helping folks with the newer retros. Thanks for the comment though. -Peace

  • im going to buy a pair of flips from someone on craigslist and what does the tag on the inside have on it?

  • hey man nice vid....urmm yea i just purchased a shoe from a website...the shoe looks legit and everything ...it has the the holes poke in them, the cutting in the edge is right but after stacking them with my other shoes the box size itself doesnt match my other jordan boxes...is it fake or not?

  • You call that beat up!?! xD

    Seems near deadstock to me :l

  • ya the shoe is difficult to tell but the best way i tell is the printing area on fake 3s its like shiny lol

    i would make a vid to show that but i dont have a pair of 3s xD

  • thanks for the tips

    (subbing)

  • the cracking and chipping on the 3s is a bitch

  • yea i remember my Military Blues 4's scracked on the side also my Spikes

  • just got a pair of these crisp for 120 from a freind real btw... great video

  • One question, you mentioned how the fakes and the reals are gettin in a line with eachother. so if a fake looks the same, does it feel and perform like the real ones??

  • One Question:Where is the size tag located? On the inner tongue or the inner side of the shoe??? Thanks for your video(s).They're very helpful! Peace,RC

  • how much are the 3's now

  • wtf? who's gonna be all up into somody's shoe like that?

  • did you make a video on the 2's or nah

  • I recently bought some fire reds for about 90 on ebay but i was wondering if the little holes you mention around the laces in the grey area, is that grey area supposed to be leather or suede? mine is a leather material but on yours it looks smooth like suede.

  • It's leather. -Peace

  • how can you tell with the true blues?

  • They are made the EXACT same way just a different color... check the area around the laces, the curve around the bottom of the tongue and the material. -Peace
