My SNKRS pair, DTLR & JD Sports pair I had to look very hard at all 3 but I saw the slight hair of a line above the A lol. Honestly I wasn’t gonna trip if they did t have em. They all from legit spots. XC on size tags

My 8.5s have the pointy “A” from GOATIt could be, word on the street is that they were made in two different factories. You and @bigstick2324 are the first authentic pairs I’m aware of that have the flat A. Granted My sample size isn’t wasn’t huge before making the post, but I was able to verify almost 30 pairs between myself and my boys
A little quick legit checking tip I put together. It’s so simple it almost sounds stupid but I’ve been able to independently verify it with multiple authentic pairs and fakes including my 2 personal pairs. Essentially it comes down to the back of the tongue tag. On the “MADE IN CHINA” embroidery on the back of the tongue on authentic pairs the “A” at the end of China has a small little point on it. On Fake pairs the “A” had a flat top without the point. Ironically all my other jordan 1s have A’s that look like the fakes but for some reason Nike chose to do these tags different. There are other differences in shape and in color variation but this is a super easy way for those looking on the secondary makert.For those with authentic pairs feel free to check your pairs to verify. I have not checked GS pairs or TD pairs to see if it applies.![]()
Wow those receipt differences are clear as daylight. Like in the bottom right cornerI should revise this to say, while some authentic pairs can have a flat A, fakes don’t have a pointed A (as of yet). If your pair does have a flat A and you’re worried about authenticity look at the front sticker and the reciept that comes with the shoes. The stickers that come on fake boxes have rounded corners and edges while the authentic pairs have sharp edges and corners. When it comes to the receipt, the fake one has crisp clean legible letters and numbers compared to the real one. The text/font is bolder on the fakes as well
Ill add a disclaimer this time that this is just what I have been able to verify so far. It’s not a perfect guide but it’ll help you navigate the secondary market a little easier![]()

Size 13, straight from SNKRS, xc on tag if that matters. No point![]()
If you got a pair directly from Nike, what is the point of checking for a pointy A?![]()
Thanks for announcing your departure lolThis thread losing it now. With all the factory and A’s, XC turning into FR3 thread. I’m out.
Does the sale sticker position matter as that is the most blatant difference in those images?I should revise this to say, while some authentic pairs can have a flat A, fakes don’t have a pointed A (as of yet).

Looks like the fakes spent all their time on the shoe they forgot the box and vintage receipt details. The receipts posted earlier look like night and day difference. I bought a pair locally and the seller had receipt in hand from picking up in store but of course I still checked on the apps and guides out there. They have the pointy "A", the vintage receipt checks out and they passed all the legit checking apps so I can breathe a bit easier.

Initial thoughts were fakes had the sticker above the tail of the swoosh and not directly underNah I wouldn’t say the position matters as much as the actual sticker itself. Although I would expect them all to be around the same spot
Yeah I don’t think it matters anymore as some do and some don’t. Just depends on who was running the sewing machine in the factory that day
That could still be true. I just think it’s a lot easier to identify a wrong sticker than it would be to guess at where it could/should be placedInitial thoughts were fakes had the sticker above the tail of the swoosh and not directly under
