With the White/Black added to the collection I'm not looking forward to anymore Jordan 1s unless they release the OG Chicago, Dark Powder Blue or any of the Metallic joints.

Repped, Such a nice collection of ones

Do all AJ1s have soft gel inside soles? My Olympics 1s do but wasn't sure if its a consistent trend.

Can anyone tell me any obvious tips on spotting a gm or fake 2013 blk/gld.

 
There are more fake Black Golds on eBay.. I'm counting 4 total right now. If you are buying, make sure it is OG everything. Lace bag should be the same size as your other 1s and without a red line, ankle cardboard insert should be brownish and not thick/white, and box should be the same as other 1985 High OGs (ask for pics of box label if not shown in pics because it seems most are hiding it).

As for parts of the shoe that give it away, the production dates on tongue seem to match the authentic pairs (ugh!), but the border is incorrect. Fake pairs have a semi transparent border when it should be milky white like most OGs. Also, the bottom of the heel tabs on the back of fakes are pushed in a bit where the stitch is. Basically improper stitching. Lastly, the area above the heel tab should be about the same height of the heel tab. That area on fakes is quite a bit taller than the heel tab. Note that it is more noticeable on some pairs than others. That's all I can say about it until I get one in my hands.

Be smart.. pay attention to seller ratings.. shoot me a message if you want me to give an opinion on a LC thread. Best of luck.

Based on what I have seen for fakes, Gerald is right, def look out for those that look like mids (most mids also do not have a clear sole). Here are examples:

Now the more recent rstor23 fakes that @Zyzz found a while back are much harder to tell. I think we walked away saying that one definite sign of an rstor23 fake  is the fact that they have white stitching on the midsole. The original has gold stitching. I also noticed that the lace bag is off on rstor23 fakes (missing from the one that Gerald posted= red flag). Here are some pics.

yeah size 10 are all over the web, just saw a pair of size 9.5 for 400 something in buy/sell thread, but size 8.5 and 8 is just a different story bruh

At first glance, they look a bit chubby and the gold color seems off. Could be lighting though on the color.. Get a few more pics of the box label and tongue label, post to the LC thread, and PM me. Ill take a look there.
