Authenticate Jordans Before You Buy
Over $2 billion lost to fake Jordans every year.
Don't add to that number.
Why Fake Jordans Are Everywhere
The resale market has exploded—and so has the counterfeit industry:
- High-quality replicas cost $30-50 to make and sell for $150+. The margins attract serious operations.
- Facebook Marketplace has no authentication. Unlike StockX or GOAT, anyone can list anything.
- Hype releases sell out in seconds, driving buyers to secondary markets where fakes flourish.
- Replica factories use the same materials and construction methods. Visual authentication is harder than ever.
How Spottable Helps
1. Photo Analysis
Our AI scans listing photos for known fake tells: Swoosh shape, Wings logo depth, stitching patterns, and heel silhouette.
2. Price Check
We know what every colorway sells for. A Travis Scott Jordan 1 for $200? Instant red flag, even if photos look decent.
3. Legit Check Guide
You get a personalized checklist: exactly what to inspect for the specific model you're buying, with photos of what fakes get wrong.
4. Seller Analysis
Bulk sellers, new accounts, shipping-only listings—we flag the patterns that indicate replica operations.
Red Flags Our AI Catches
These listing-level signals often indicate fakes before you even inspect the shoes:
Price Too Low
Retail $180 selling for $80? It's fake. Period.
Flimsy Box
Nike boxes are sturdy cardboard. Cheap, thin box = replica.
Wrong Label Font
Size tag text should be specific fonts. Bold = fake.
No Receipt
"Lost the receipt" for a $300 shoe? Suspicious.
Ships Only
Won't meet in person. Can't inspect before paying.
Stock Photos
Using Nike product shots instead of actual shoe photos.
What to Check In Person
When you meet the seller, here's what matters. Spottable generates a guide specific to the exact model and colorway you're buying.
Most Counterfeited Jordans
Extra caution needed with these high-demand models:
Jordan 1 High
The most faked sneaker ever. "Chicago," "Bred," and Travis Scott collabs are especially targeted.
Jordan 4
"Black Cat" and "White Cement" are replica favorites. Check the mesh and tongue tag carefully.
Jordan 11
"Concord" and "Space Jam" have massive fake markets. Patent leather should be glossy, not dull.
Jordan 1 Low
More affordable = more fakes. Cross-stitching should never overlap the Swoosh.

"Saw a pair of Travis Scott Jordan 1 Lows for $250. Too good to be true but photos looked right. Spottable told me to check the reverse Swoosh positioning and the 3M reflective. Met the seller, checked exactly what the app said, and the 3M didn't reflect at all. Fake."
