You are in the right place if you wish to know how to spot the fake vs real Nike Air Force 1. This is Nike‘s most popular shoe, so knowing how to tell a fake is important.
Authenticate any Air Force 1 colorway with this guide.
How to tell if Air Force 1s are real
You can know if your Air Force 1 is original by looking at the size tag’s text (the label inside the shoes). A real pair has perfectly detailed inscriptions.
1. Rear details
Authentic:
Swoosh logo is smaller and appropriately sized.
“A I R” text is neither too thick nor too thin and is well-placed.
Stitching on the side appears dense, reflecting higher quality.
Stitching lines on the midsole are of better quality.
Fake:
Longer Nike Swoosh logo, noticeable on the rear side.
“A I R” text on fake pairs can appear either too thick or too thin, often placed too high, almost touching the Swoosh.
Side stitching is less dense and shorter than on authentic pairs.
Stitching lines on the midsole appear longer and thinner.
Expert's Opinion - Let us verify your Nikes:
2. Size tag
Authentic:

Authentic tags have thicker “BR” print as well.
“FABRIQUE EN VIETNAM” text on genuine pairs is thicker.

The “BR” print typically mirrors the thinness of the “VF” text on fake tags.
Fake tags often have thinner “FABRIQUE EN VIETNAM” text.
