First off, let’s be real, finding info SPECIFICALLY on spotting fake Jordan Elephant Print *book bags* is like finding a needle in a haystack. Most people are worried about the sneakers, ya know? But the same kinda principles apply, I think.
One thing I’ve noticed (and I’m not sayin’ I’m an expert, just a dude who’s seen a lot of suspicious merch) is the print itself. See, on those Air Jordan 1 Mids with the elephant print, people complain about the lines being TOO THICK on the fakes. Makes sense, right? Probably the same deal on a bag. If that grey pattern looks too bold and clunky, like someone just smeared it on there, that’s a red flag, man.
And the material…ugh, the material. Real Jordan stuff, even the accessories, feels pretty decent. If the bag feels like cheap plastic and the zippers are janky, that’s a HUGE giveaway. Like, does it feel like it’s gonna rip the first time you stuff a textbook in it? If so, steer clear.
Then there’s the box… Wait, does a *book bag* even COME in a box? Probably not. But IF it does, and the box looks like it was printed on a potato (faded colors, flimsy cardboard, misspelled words – it happens!), that’s almost a guaranteed fake. Think about the shoe boxes, people are saying to check the printing is crisp.
And then there’s the interior label. This is where things get a little dicey. You know that multi-line text inside legit Jordans? Apparently, the fakes often misalign it. Now, I haven’t personally ripped open a fake Jordan bag to check, but logically, the same sloppy manufacturing probably applies. It’s worth a peek if you can get a good look inside.
Honestly, the best advice? If the price seems too good to be true, it probably IS. Like, if someone’s selling a “brand new” Jordan Elephant Print bag for like, 20 bucks, run. Just run far, far away.
Also, where are you buying this thing? Some random website with weird grammar and no return policy? Sketchy. Stick to reputable sellers, even if it means paying a little more. Peace of mind is worth it, ya know?
