  • PAs forcement. cela ne correspond pas a tous tes description

  • can u do a review on the Jordan 10?

  • So, I have a pair of 4 Retro 308497 002 00. The Flight Tag date is 09-14-02. The heel bump and everything else you mentioned is there, but no black cat on the heel. Have you seen these? Any help would be great. I can't sell because of the tag date...

  • @TheMrclean444 There were no 4's released in 2002 or 2003 so I'm not sure what you have, sorry. -Peace

  • I looked at the mist 4s on flight club and on the side it shows it close to the lacing but on yours there is a gap right there. Why are they different? Are they all like that?

  • og is 1989 just saying, get ur shoe IQ correct

  • @sneakerheadkixclusiv I suppose you went through the process of creating an account just to say that... as if you never made a minor mistake when you speak... Thanks for being understanding dude... SMH.

  • yo how can you flip up the tounge and it will stay that way so the air jordan is upright?

  • thanks i looked this up cuz i saw a deal on craigslist for the mars this helped a lot. I'm not tryna hate or nothing but you should buy wearable shoe trees they won't keep ur toe box perfect but it helps a lot.

  • My black cat 4s doesn't have a tag on the left shoe... Is it fake?

  • just wanna know if the AJ4 Bred PROMO SAMPLE authentic or fake?

  • Ur giving them tips. lol.

  • @AzureHermitage 2006, you could have googled that one LOL. Want to say summer like June or July. -Peace

  • I'm a wear fakes, they the same

  • lol you cold @the sneaker game bt you look like tayshaun prince!

  • Some real shitty fakes don't even have that bit of mesh on the toebox

  • umm i'm still not sure but i uploaded a video with them do you think you can varify them for me? it's just a 1min long if it's okay with you

  • Im feelin the rakim in the back round bruh

  • I got some military 4's the jordan flight tag on the right shoe isn't perfectly in the middle are they fake?

  • @flipkid47 I'm sure your fine if you have the heal bump and other stuff checks out. Unfortunately the Military was very poor quality from Jordan Brand. Hopefully the 2012 version will be better. -Peace

  • i have a question. i bought a pair of the black iv's and it says promo....what does that mean?

  • @imdatonekid it means your didn't do your research before you bought the shoes LOL.

    I'm teasing, really those are just that promotional sneakers that have been hitting the market recently. They are kind of like Samples. -Peace

  • @jstar25 hahaha you scared me! i was about to throw the shoe away when i read the first comment.

    but thank you for replying, i had bought the 4's off of mental kicks and it's my first "promo" shoe i've ever bought and i didn't really know what to expect, was afraid i had recieved a fake. but thanks though!

  • yo my dude im looking to buy a pair of black cats can you hit me upp

  • what about the mars 4 in all the pictures i see it is red with the black on the top part of the bottom

  • Man, that brought me back, straight classic.

    Don't sweat the technique.

    80's baby!

  • I tried authenticating some black mars with the bump. They where still fake, the best way to check these is the net

  • Wait bro jordan IV will come out again 2012??

  • @31rik Where is your time and energy? Get off that high horse trying to suggest what I should do and worry about your own affairs. -Peace

  • hey man what store do you get your jordans from? im from chicago too.

  • Do you know the cheapest place to find 100% Real authentic shoes? I'm looking for some red 4s and Ice Blue 10s, thanks man i apreciatte it. I've looked through your real sites and goddamn.. that shits like my paycheck

  • @chris2756832 unfortunately I don't know a place where to get them for cheap. You might want to just wait until next year 2012 when IV's release again. -Peace

  • @jstar25 about the 4s coming out next year i hear that the cement 4s are coming out in february and the mars blackmon 4s are also coming out and same thing goes with the militaries they are also coming out.

  • nice vid big help

  • Can u send me the link to where u baught the blackcats at???

  • @2579andrew Black Cat IV's came out in 2006 I bought them at a store here in Chicago. So I don't have a link to send you because they aren't really sitting on retail shelves now, you'd have to look for a pair from a reseller I have list on SneakerShoeBox of Real Websites you can start looking for a pair there and see if you find some. -Peace

  • Are all the websites on The REAL SITES link Legit? i was thinking about getting some IV's.

  • @jumpman11alamo Not trying to be disrespectful but really why I would I work this hard to put a list together if the list wasn't legit? -Peace

  • @jstar25 Ok thanks bro

  • Where do you get all your jordans from? Trying to get my shoe game up cuz i see you get it on locked homey! peace

  • @KINGACOSTA210 Go to SneakerShoeBox and click on the Real Websites link, it's a site I built and has a nice long lift of Real LEGIT websites. Be a good place to start coppin what you want. Oh yeah grab the Flight Squadron V shirt too! -Peace

  • @jstar25 I didn't make this acc my cuz made it for me. their the mars colorway...and they do have the curve in the back heel

  • @retroman89 Only Mars colorways are OG's from 1989 without Mars on the side. So I'm going to guess those are fake. Sorry man. -Peace

  • @jstar25 what if they don't have a the mars on the size and the jumpman on the back heel is sticking out and it feel like plastic

  • @retroman89 What color are they? Also no offense but your name is RetroMan... I should be asking you about Retros LOL! Seriously though let me know the colorway. Bottom line with ALL IV's if they have no heal bump they are fake, simple as that. -Peace

  • @jstar25 Hey me and my dad collect jordans and about when you were talking about the OG militaries about how they were fake my dad was around back in 1988 and he acually had those OG so those werent fake.

  • @marctheshark11 OGs had a heal bump. I'm not sure what you saying but in reguards retroman89 I was right. -Peace

  • @jstar25 Thanks! also one more question do you have any air jordan 2s cause if so why did you not make a real vs fake video on them.Thanks!

  • @marctheshark11 Haven't done a video on them because they are not that high in demand. I suppose I could do one and I plan on it just not sure when. -Peace

  • @jstar25 u should do one i would really think it would be cool

  • My shoes say they were made by china does it mean they fake

  • @retroman89 No they are almost all made in China these days. -Peace

  • hey man is there any legit sites you would like to share?

  • @Charliedastoopid Go to my site SneakerShoeBox and there is a legit list on there with about 45 legit sites. -Peace

  • @jstar25 You said you got them when you were young, wht colorway did you get back then?

  • I like this guy.. Knows his kicks stay up :)

  • my mistake I meant to say perpendicular not parallel. Basically the mesh on one side of my military IV's is straight up and down not angles towards the ankle.

  • Nice vid. What's your opinion on the mesh on the military blues. I've been reading that it's suppose to be angled toward your ankle but mine are more straight up and down parallel? Everything else on the shoe looks good though.

  • I'm always appreciative of your videos JStar. Thanks bruh.

  • WHERE DO YOU BUY YOIUR J'S FROM??

  • how do i know if mine are fake they are the new wons they are black and white on bottom

  • Cool Video

  • Comment removed

  • How do the 4's run in size Jstar? You think they run a little small. Im a 10.5 and im planning on buying an 11 Thanks

  • @143kicks That's a matter of opinion. I've never had a Jordan run big or small I wear a size 10 I always get a size 10 and never have problems. So I can't help you with that question. -Peace

  • @jstar25 Well I've heard of people saying some jordans run small. Like for me. The jordan 9 feels a little tight in my shoe size but idk. It could be I just have to "break into them" Do you believe into "breaking into your kicks"

  • @143kicks Yeah I believe in breaking them in because they need to mold to your foot, however J's for me all fit true to size, but that's just me, some people think differently so I think it's a matter of opinion. -Peace

  • you can feel the material and you get a general idea if its fake or not, and also what store you brought it at

  • Cool video man. jw if you could happen 2 do a authentic or fake video bout the gray/cement 6 rings?

  • yo you say you got the pure$.... how much would you let them go for

  • where can i get these?? but in red

  • hey j star do u think the military 4 are worth buying because I hear the quality is bad. What's ur opinion thanks

  • @unknownb33 Colorway is nice and OG but the quality isn't the best. I would buy them for less than $200 nothing more than that. -Peace

  • Sad thing is I want White Cements, but I'm gonna have to get fakes.

  • Do any of the Air jordan 4's have a nike sign on the side of the shoe rather than the back part as well???

  • @definitionofill nope.

  • i just got some jordan 4's off ebay. jstar, I sent you a message so can you let me know if they are legit or not. Thanks! Nice vid.

  • How did you lace your 4s up man, those are legit!! i got some DS black cats and militaries and would like to lace em up like that

  • bro i got those blues ones wen they just came out again!!! damn those was so fresh! i was stuntin at school aha and ballin on the court

  • i was wondering how come some of the 4s have nike air on the back instead of the jumpman

  • @Jeduard1000 4's from 1999 and before have Nike Air with the exception of the columbia's, oreo's, chromes. 4's from 2000 on have a Jumpman. It's a branding issue. -Peace

  • I have the black cats and my insole can be removed. I was just wondering if they're fake or not.

  • @locotaco73 Almost EVERY shoe Jordan or not the insoles can be removed. -Peace

  • @locotaco73 if the insole can be removed just look for a little who at the when u take of the insole if its not there ur j's are fake

  • What's that 2nd song you play man? at 2:39

    Helpful video my man

  • @spncrmorrissette A note should have popped up and said "Don't Sweat the Technique" - Eric B & Rakim

  • Are the all 60 some dollar ones fake?

  • do you have pictures of the military 4s cause i want to buy them off this one guy on criagslist and from looking at your videos of the jordan 4 they look authentic but i just want to make sure of it and also the jordan logo on the tung is it supposed to have 4 little fingers. thx

  • lol my friend has a pair of cement 4's without the heel tab

  • what is a good way to take care of your shoes if there dead stock. in zip lock bag or wat

  • Hey jstar, just wanted to say your videos on up keeping jays and watching for fakes are real helpful. I got a question about jays if you don't mind me asking, cuz i know you get a bunch of questions, but im trading my carmines for 3 pair of kicks but the dude has the cool gray 4's and new love 1's without the OG box so i was wondering if there was something specific to look out for with those 2. If you could let me know i would really appreciate it, thanks.

  • Hey jstar, its me again i bought those Air Jordan 4 retros Black Cats and the first time wearing it, the heel and where the air is already have cracks and the crack is pealing out. Could you tell me why it cracks is it because it is from 2005?

  • @falamita You do understand it is now 2010 and those shoes are 5 years old? Aside from shoes not lasting forever, cracking or chipping happens it's all part of the quality of JB shoes we sneakerheads have been complaining about. The person that sold them to you did they by chance keep them in plastic bags? If they did that's not good. Anyway age and quality are the issue. -Peace

  • @jstar25 Thanks for helping me out! really appreciate it man.

  • Thank man. Really appreciate it.

  • Is pickyourshoes(dot)com legit???

  • @selli115 I have a blog at sneakershoebox(dot)com that has a list of legit sites, short answer is yes PYS is legit. -Peace

  • yo man! could I ask you if this shoes in ebay is fake or real. thanks for your help!!!

  • @falamita Message me the link... but I have to ask that you limit it... Some people send me a list on a daily basis and I just don't have that kind of time. But I'll help you out if I can. -Peace

  • hey some guys selling me 4s that have every thing it needs to be reall...except tha color way..its all black and has blue stitching..r they real?

  • hey theres this guy trying to sell me 4s..his shoes have all the things you said in this video to be real...but the colorway worries me...the sneaker is black and has blue stiching..i think their fake..r they?

  • @urboymiggz No never seen Black IVs with blue stitching. There are V's in those colors but not IV's. -Peace

  • hey man about to buy pure money 3s and i dont wanna spend 300 just to find out thats they r fake. is JBKICKZ.com legit.??

    thanx

  • what are other kix websites that sell legit kix except for footlocker, champs etc.

  • hEY JSTAR YOUR THE ONLY PERSON MAKING VIDEOS THAT MAKE SENSE!!!!!!!

  • What's up Jstar. Big fan of yours. Just wanted to ask you about the air jordan 4 mars blackmon. I have been itching to buy one for years and finally bought one the other day on ebay. They were listed as authentic with several bidders. I paid $195.00. Although when I received them today the black straps looked faded. Did that happen with them? Also, because they were somewhat faded they bled a little onto the white leather like they've been sitting there for too long. As always much respect!

  • hey nice vid, I need a legit check hoping you could help me. I posted a vid of my OG IV's on my channel thanks

  • Is the box for the 4's smaller then say the 12's???

  • ay jstar25 ive always been a fan of the 4s and ive picked up the black cat 4s but ive been trying to find a pair of military blue 4s but cant find them anywhere i need some help

  • so if the air bubble at the bottom has color its fake??

  • so if the air bubble at the bottom has color its fake??

  • hey man i got some 4 white cement...yea them hoes ma holy grail man thats ma favorita shoe bro but now they all cracked up bro do you kno any thing to restore the mid sole plz plz let me kno you know how fresh they are

  • @olwayshigh Shoes aren't made to last forever, those are 11 years old so to be honest you might have to contact someone that specializes in shoe repair and restoration but you won't be able to wear them though. -Peace

  • where do you get your shoes?

  • Comment removed

  • what up jstar... I recently found a website that has pretty good deals on jordans who claim that they are 100% authentic, I watched your video and somethings are consistant with real ones as well at the fakes... for example, the heel bump is definately there but the tongue doesnt site real high. I also heard that If there are ^(triangles) around the front of the shoe seams and throughout the rest of the shoe it is typically a good sign that they are fake.. get at me.. peace

  • Great video, I bought a pair of Black Cats a while back and have always been suspicious of them because I bought them through ebay. (first and only pair I have bought from ebay) But after watching your video I can rest easy because now I know they are 100% real.

  • jstar u have a great shoe knowledge...and I must agree with you when you the made the comment about the military blue IV's....poor workmanship I was highly disappointed when I purchased them in '06

  • So the white ones would probably be as rare if not rarer then the blk ones you think since they were jumpman exclusives?

  • What up jstar, do you know how many fire red iv laser edition shoes were made? I heard 3000 for the blk color way

  • @illskilled1 That's a good question but I can't remember off hand I know the white ones were a Jumpman Exclusive and the black ones were QuickStrikes... I wanna say 3,000 but I'm not sure anymore. -Peace

  • hi.i.need.to.send.u.something.­i.won.can.you.please.ttell.me.­if.it.is.fake.now.respond,.and­.i.will.send.it.to.you.in.a.me­ssage

  • @KiDiCeCrEaM Not.Sure.Why.You.Put.A.Period.­Between.Every.Word.

    But.The.Shoes.You.Bought.Are.V­ery.Fake.You.Spent.$77.On.Fake­s.And.They.Are.Used.Fakes.Whic­h.Is Crazy.Peace

  • i.won.the.item.it.cost.92.doll­ars.so.its.fake.right

  • @KiDiCeCrEaM Did.You.READ.My.Comment.Above?

    YES.THEY.ARE.FAKE!

  • why do people say the fours arnt good shoes to ball in cause i ball in some thunder fours and theyre really comfy. i now the thunders are a shoe to keep for display but my friend gave me them and they were messed up cause he use to wear em all the time so i made them into my ballin shoes

  • Since some other guy asked i might give it a shot as well.

    Don't have a pair of Jays atm but i really want a pair now lol.

    Which one would you recommend? the 1s/4s/5s

    1 = bred but i'd probably have to go for the DMP ones

    IV = CDP bred/Mars

    V = Grapes (maybe as i dont know if i can pull them off lol)/Fire reds?

    peace

  • oh, and maybe the 6s in the infrared/varsity red c/w

  • Hey man I can't make up my mind on what too get for beaters.Blackcat 3s Blackcat 4s or Fire red 3s.

  • @immoddingOMG I have the fire red III as my beaters, don't really like the Blackcat III so I'll say Fire Red or Blackcat IV. -Peace

  • is there a such thing as fake air jordan 19's if so can you make a vid of them

  • whats up jstar25 i seen some of ur orther vids and they are good on my orther account i just started this 1 hopefuly ill get a new camcorder

  • im getting those because i didnt have enough money b4 145 is alot for me to earn im only 12

  • your awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • can u please make a vid of cool grey 4's?

  • @RedHotChilli88 No, I can not start doing individual colorways it would take too much of my time. These videos are geared to help you with any Jordan IV they ALL have a heal bump, talk tongue and stitching is the same. Only difference is the colorway which is why I say know your colorways. Sorry just to many releases to start making special videos for each. -Peace

  • how can you tell on the mars blackmon edition?

  • @djsonic EXACTLY the same way, heal bump, netting, stitching everything is the same except they have Mars on the side and they are Red/White/Black. -Peace

  • why on the mist the jumpman looks fat?? can anyone please answer me that.

  • why on the mist the jumpman on the back of the shoe looks fat?? can anyone tell me that.

  • What country are the Air Jordan IV's made in?

  • I've never owned fakes J's but how do the inside tags look like? Are they the same as real J's ? Because the inside tag should match the box it came with and the date should be a few months before the actual premiere of the shoe, right?

  • Nice!!!! You know whats good.

  • so do yu believe that if jordan never wore them then they arent worth purchasing? i mean ive seen mj wear his jumpman sneak around the 16&17 shoe transition, but i dont sse why ppl dont see that the jumpman was like the jumpman logo's own shoe(or someone running out of ideas); the prototype to the shoes we sneaker heads crave, i know if i could not afford the shoe he wore i wore the jumpman that imitates it. something wrong with that? example(pro strong, team 1, aj)

  • @iotaken There is NOTHING wrong with wearing any shoe out on the market. Personally when I go to cop an Air Jordan I prefer the signature line and of the signature line I prefer 1-14 since those were the shoes he wore when he was a Bull. To ME those are more significant than any other releases, but that's just MY preference. I do have J's past the 14 and that are non-OG colorways. I don't see anything wrong with Team J's, Fusions, Spiz'Ikes, Dubs, 6 Rings etc, I just don't care for some of them.

  • where can i get some legit cool grey 4's

  • do you know where to get the 1999 retros and what the price runs on the or where to get the black cats

  • do you no how much the 99 grey black and that orange red cost and where to buy them thanks man or the lates 4s where to get them

  • i remember when the militarys came out like it was yesterday lol i was young

  • Your analysis did help me a lot and I do see a lot of fakes out there right now. Thanks for the info. Do you know where I can get some legit jordan 3 and 4s? Which website do you use to order your shoes if so? Thanks!

  • yeah I was talking about around the ankle cusionhing. Cuz I have the military blue 4's and the bred 4's as well and the cushioning around the ankle for those 4's are not as puffy as the black cats I just got . Since you got the military blue 4's , could you look at them and tell me if there is a difference in the cushioning on the ankle after comparing the military blues and the black cats??

    Thanks for your efforts man

  • quick question, I just got the jordan 4 black cats. Everything seems legit but my only concern was the cushioning in the back. It's a little more puffier ( more cushioned ) than my other 4s. Are they supposed to be like that?

    I mean is that just how the black cat was made or somethin?

  • @loveyou89210 I wish I could help you but your question is relative to your comfort level, I can't really answer that. If I recall correctly though, the area right around the ankle did seem a little more cushioned than I recall on the earlier 1999 retro's. Seems like the 2006's did have more cushion around the upper ankle. I hope that helps you out. -Peace

  • Hey i was just wondering about some of the IV's i've been seeing that have the triangle part on the side but the stitching under it would be extra long and wouldn't match up to the width. I wanted to know if it was because it was an older version or if they are fake. also i wanted to know if these are fake because they have no plastic grid on the side.

  • @Supermoney97 Older ones do have a stitching that does extend past the plastic like the 1999 releases. As for you second question I can't answer that because I don't know what "these" are when you say:

    i wanted to know if these are fake because they have no plastic grid on the side.

    Let me know what "these" are so I can help you. -Peace

  • @jstar25 i cant get a picture but its this model : Air Jordan IV 2000 Retro White White Chrome

  • @Supermoney97 Chromes are a real release and they don't have the same "netting" as the others, instead of the "netting" on those there is leather with holes in it. -Peace

  • man i finally got my jordan 4 silver anniversrys, thought they werent gonna be all dat but their real nice acpecailly the inside soles

  • I'm with you on the IV's, Jstar. These were my first J's (the Mars Red/Black/White colorway) back when I was in the 6th grade in '89. I just copped an authentic pair of the Mars Blackmon's on Ebay once again. Definitely a nostalgic and great shoe! Keep up the good work.

  • your videos are absolute gold! i had just scored a 99 black/cement gray from a lady owner who used it for casual wear and in excellent condition. this video helped me ensure it is authentic. thanks Jstar25!

  • I just got some 4s and they have the same colorway as the white red mars blackmons the only diffrence is that they have nike air at the back instead of the jordan logo. Legit or fake? Please help

  • @lonewolf287 Fake.

  • @jstar25

    thanks like i ordered the mars blackmons and they sent me those.....hella sucks

  • Yo jstar25 i friend just got the mars blackmon everything looks real. cept, the tongue has a flight sign but the back of the tounge theres a black and red pattern and the heel part where it shows the red jumpman the heel top like soft. isnt suppose to be plastic?

  • theres an app on the iphone that scans the shoe and tells you if its legit or not no joke it like x rays the shoe and says legit or fake

  • i was wondering what were the dead giveaways or "common knowledge" stuff to pick out when looking at og models/ 99 models and back on IV's

  • Pretty much the same things tongue height, heal bump, Grey on the laces should match grey on the midsole. The older ones will have Nike Air on the back. Heal Bump is the absolute first thing I look at on IV's in general. -Peace

  • how are the laces supposed to be. are they the flat ones or ovalish ones?

  • @2enthusiast4 Flat but don't judge a shoe on the laces, laces can be swapped out. The shape of the shoe will tell you if they are real or not. -Peace

  • how come u dont have the mars

  • @Xfoyas I do have the Mars, along with a few other older IV's. Just didn't get them all out for this video. -Peace

  • is it the same with boys size

  • Youth sizes are different than Adult sizes. -Peace

  • you are sooooo sexy!
