hi awesome video. I have a question , the lace loop ( forgive my lack of proper wording) i noticed even on the fake was right beneath the tounge tag. mines is about a good 1/8th below. is that a telltale also? DO8903-100

Can you send me pictures to illustrate (you can attach them on imgur and share the link). There are several quality replicas out there, but if all the other elements comply, most likely yours is original

[@copdatchoppa]

Hey good video. But what if all the elements of my airmax match the original one, except for 1 thing. My stitches and ventilation on the footbed seem a bit off.. Would that be a vital problem? Please respond.

[@VoiceOfPeopleToday]

The phrase "seem a bit off is very relative". If you want you can attach pictures in any public platform (imgur, fcb, insta etc) and share the link. I'll have a look and let you know my opinion

Unfortunately the Nike brand & their trainers no longer stands as a garuntee of quality. They are made so poorly and cheaply now compared to 5-10 years ago that it's harder to tell because some fakes or 'replicas' are made to a higher quality than the trainer they are copying.

[@copdatchoppa]

not the copy being a better quality 💀
