URGENT LC TS AJ1 (Australian Pair)

[jawedtn]

Hey guys need an urgent LC on TS AJ1. NOTE: according to seller the pair was won from an Australian store called Supply, and some of the features (i.e. insole texture sticker) are exclusive to Nike Aus pairs.

The sellers story does add up. These did release in that store. That is the correct sticker on the insole for a pair from Australia, which is similar to the sticker on pairs from the EU. Box tag looks correct.
These do seem authentic to me. The only thing that seems off is the color of the suede, It looks a bit dark in those photos. Are these your photos or the sellers?
I have never seen a fake with a AUD retail price, most fakes come with the USD retail price and the size stickers on the insoles.

This is a post I found from another guy, I believe this was a retail pair he bought in Australia:

Those are the seller's picture - perhaps its the lighting? I also got screenshots of the seller winning the raffle and receiving the invoice

Here's the email the seller he received when he won the raffle, and the subsequent invoices

His story does check out which is a good sign since many times it makes no sense. I also think its the lighting since I don't see anything off. Pairs with a QR code seem to be rare, I have only seen a couple real ones. Most of the ones that I see are fakes and the fake batches that have the QR code are usually mid-tier batches that are not that good. GD is probably the better batch with a QR code but I don't think its from them.

So how come this pair has a new (?) size tag with QR code while a lot of other pairs still use the old style tag?

I honestly don't know, but Nike was inconsistent with this release.
They used two different types of shoe trees. The box could be all red on the inside or have two white walls on the sides. Most of the stitching on the hidden pocket was black but there was a stitch on the pocket that could be be either black or white. Supposedly there are pairs with a $160 retail price, but I can't confirm that since I have not seen it. Some people got two moisture stickers on the box while some get none and some boxes are stamped with a Nike swoosh which I haven't seen in a Jordan 1 before.

There is a video from Fineline comparing two retail pairs of Jordan 1 phantom's one of them with a qr code and the other is regular. It does seems like they are rolling it out slowly.

The factories that I have seen use the QR code are PK, KW, GD, and AK GT, and they all used the same exact dates of 12/18/18 to 02/13/19. I believe the production dates I have seen on authentic pairs so far have been in the range from 11/14/18 to 01/22/19.

On the subject of stitching in the hidden pocket, the seller has also provided additional pictures of the hidden pocket. Be interested to hear your thoughts on these.

Seems fine to me. I don't know of any tells in the pocket that replica sellers make, there could be some but it seems like it would be hard to tell.
