Real Vs. Fake - Air Jordan XI Retro (Space Jam)

@Fake_Education has finally given us the comparison we all needed - The 2016 Space Jam 11's!

The Fugazi Jordan game is very strong so its always reassuring to have a place you can come to and check out comparisons. 

Get your note pads...

The correct answer from my previous post was RIGHT! Now let's get into the breakdown. Now I already know a lot of people are going to say this comparison is petty or I am "reaching" to find flaws. That's not the case. I broke these down side by side for roughly 3+ hours trying to find every single difference to show you guys so you can know what to look for.

In neon green I highlighted an area of the design on the box cover that is wrong on EVERY single box lid that comes with fakes. I have examined well over 1,000 retail pairs and this runs true. The glossy black portion does not touch the actual graphic design at the top of the "2" of the "23" design on fakes. Comes close but DOES NOT touch on fakes. There is also no black outline on the cloud on the fake box cover (look slightly above the neon green)

The area highlighted in neon green on the box cover of the fakes are slightly different as well as the shades of grey are darker on the fake. The hands point to where on the fakes the circles are bolder.

The graphic of the Stars are slightly different on the inside of the lid of fakes.

The outsoles of fakes are not as Icey Blue. I have seen variances in the hue of blue of outsoles of retail pairs, but not this far off compared to the fake.

The stitching is significantly tighter on the fakes. The double line stitching on real pairs has more separation between each stitch line than fakes do.

Clear difference in the look of the toe caps. Real pairs have slightly more milky toe caps.

The font for the sizing information inside of the shoe trees of the fakes is different. Also the circle is smoother on the shoe trees that come with real pairs, on fakes the circle has very rough edges.

The jumpman on the shoe trees of fakes has very sharp edges, on shoe trees that come with real pairs have smoother edges of the body of the jumpman

The "E" of "NIKE" is fully attached the the swoosh on the insoles of fakes. Then look at the real and notice the bottom of the "E" is only half way connected to the swoosh. Also the "R" of "AIR" is a different font style. Some fakes it is the same but some are not. In this case, it is a different font style.

The overall quality of stitching of the "45" on the back heels of fakes is very poor. The lines are not as bold and are further apart on fakes.
