I was soooo mad. They all looked pretty real. They just said AIR on them instead of swooshes. I was sorely dissappointed. LOL
Fakes appeared for the first time around 1997-1999..
so what were they?False. 1992 sir
By these responses I can tell some of y'alls age
Fakes been around since the Air Jordan 1. The fakes ran so rampant that Nike capitalized on the fake Air Jordan 1 and made their own version of the fakes to coincide with their authentic version. Hence the Air Jordan 1 KO (Knock-off)
The earliest I can remember seeing fakes in abundance were around ‘96. The Air Jordan 11 definitely started the “factory variant” era we were in until around ‘07-‘08. That decade from the mid 90’s to the mid 00’s was probably one of the most memorable times for Air Jordan’s. Most people didn’t know what was real and what was fake. If you were a collector or in to the culture, you had an open field to get what ever you wanted.
knock-offs and fakes are not the same
knock-offs = when I brand copies another brand's design, also they put whatever there brand's logos and name on it
example= payless use to sale attack force that looked just like Jordan's they put AF in place of the 23
fakes= are when someone puts out shoes that have Jordan branding on them but are nike/ brand Jordan product
conclusion I would like to know first time fake Jordan's were around, in my city a guy had hella fake 14's in 98 99 tried to say his aunt lives in Chicago and they have exclusive colors. no fakes cuz he had more fake 14's then there are Jordan 31 pe's
