How to Spot Fake Travis Scott Jordan 1s

How to Spot Fake Travis Scott Jordan 1s

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 is one of the most hyped sneakers ever—and that means fakes are everywhere. If you’re looking to cop, here's how a couple of our immediate call outs to avoid getting burned.


1. Check the Backwards Swoosh

The signature reverse Swoosh should have a high-quality curve, with clean stitching and no sloppy glue marks. On fakes, it’s often too thin, crooked, or misaligned.


2. Inspect the Cactus Jack Branding

Look for the small “Cactus Jack” text near the Swoosh and inside the ankle collar. Fakes often have uneven lettering or place it too far off.


3. Look at the Heel Logo

The stitched face on the heel should be detailed and centered. If it looks flat, messy, or too thick—red flag.


4. Materials Matter

Real pairs use soft nubuck or suede. If the shoe feels stiff or plasticky, it’s likely fake.


5. Box & Extras

OG pairs come with a special box, pink tissue paper, and extra laces. Missing any of these? Be careful.
