On resale, the price of this Air Jordan 1 Retro High is in the region of €3,000. With a price like that, it's best not to come across a counterfeit. Here are 5 tips to help you spot counterfeit Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Travis Scott Fragment Military Blue.
1 - Labels
The label on the inside flap
To authenticate your pair of Air Jordan 1 x Travis Scott x Fragment, you need to start by analysing the labels. First of all, let's analyse the label on the inner tongue. The text must be perfectly legible, with no typos or printing errors. Look carefully at the size of the characters and their position on the label. Sometimes too large, sometimes badly placed on the label, inspect the text carefully and compare it with the correct image below.

The size label
The label, which provides information on the size of your pair, is also important to analyse. The same points need to be analysed here: font size, position, print quality, errors, etc.

2 - The seams of the insole
Let's take a look at the stitching on the insole of your Air Jordan 1 High Travis Scott Military Blue. To reach this area, you need to remove the first removable insoles. Then look at the quality of the stitching, the size of the threads, the spaces between each thread etc. Authentic pairs of Travis Scott x Fragment Design shoes have short, fairly thick threads. Feel free to compare with the images below.

Also check the stitching on the midsole of your pair of Travis Scott, making sure that the threads are not too long or too thick as on the Travis Scott x Fragment knock-offs.
3 - Text printed on the side
On the side of the inner profile of each pair of your Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Travis Scott Fragment Military Blue is a line of text that gives you additional information about your collectible pair of sneakers. All the characters should be the same thickness, so the text should be neither too thin nor too thick.

4 - The Air Jordan logo
The logo is obviously an element not to be forgotten when checking the authenticity of an Air Jordan 1 High. Despite the fact that it has become better and better reproduced over the years, a counterfeit is still a counterfeit, and there are a few small details that are always poorly imitated.
Look at the "Air Jordan" text, which is often badly weighted on counterfeit Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Travis Scott Fragment Military Blue. The text is often too thick and the letters too large. Also check the wings on this logo, their position and size.

5 - The toe area
The toe area is another area that can be used to authenticate your pair of Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Travis Scott Fragment Military Blue or not. On counterfeits, the holes are usually too small and too shallow. Take a close look at this detail.
