Great video bro!🔥 I was looking for a video to show me a few specifics on what I need to check. I could use some insight, I got 2 pairs from goat, but one pair looks off compared to the other one I got. For example, it says made in Vietnam instead of china with the factory code VW1. The inside under the insole is white with red stitching. Not to mention, the sail part is might lighter than my second pair. My second pair looks like yours in your vid. They sent me a fake huh? 😩

Thanks for your comment/question Jamarick! VW1 is a factory in Vietnam that Nike has used in the past for Jordan 3's, specifically the Desert Elephant Jordan 3 from 2022. It features the white with red stitching footbed you're referring to. So, being that the White Cement 3 is a mass production, it's possible that Nike used that factory this time around. When you have multiple factories working on a shoe, there will be slight differences. But, the quality should still be simiLAr.

@@retrospectivedave9018 ahhhh ok. It definitely has that type of stitching, minus the shoe size like the other pair. But yea, after seeing most reviews on the white cement 3s and pretty much everyone’s box label saying made by China on them had me thinking. Especially with the last two numbers under the barcode differing (china label has 14, Vietnam label has 16). Just hoping I didn’t waste $350 on a rep. Plus if I decide to sell them, I wanna be honest to the next person and at least charge a fake price, you know. But big thanks to you for the insight bro! I hit that subscribe button for sure! 💯💪🏽

No problem, bro! And thank you! I'd like to think you didn't buy a rep, and that you just ended up with a pair from a different factory. If I'm not mistaking, the LAst few numbers on the barcode should be the same, if both your pairs are the same size. Feel free to message me on IG, if you have more questions about them. If I come across a pair from VW1, I'll be sure to take pics and let you know 👊🏽😎

The sticker underneath the box is depends on where the shoe is release. Box in US doesn’t have stickers underneath.

Thanks for the vid bro, I just subscribed. I got a pair off GOAT. Mine is VW1 from Vietnam. One thing I’m iffy about is the bottom of my insoles don’t have that much writing. They say “AJ11 QF-8H MS 11J” each on its own line. The other shoe has MS 11B instead of MS 11J. There’s also no size on the heel portion.. The shoes didn’t come with the white sizing stickers on the soles either. 🤔 Have you ever seen that before?

Thank you, Ameer! Yes, you're the 3rd person to bring the "VW1 GOAT" pair to my attention. I bought the Desert Elephant 3 from DTLR, and that shoe was made in VW1. However, I'm not sure if Nike used VW1 for the White Cement. I would have to share pics of my Desert Elephant insoles to see if there are simiLAritirs since the factories are the same. But, all of my pairs have sizing stickers. If you're on Instagram, send me a DM. Thanks for reaching out!

@@retrospectivedave9018 I have 2 pairs from SNKRS (made in Vietnam) and the QC is perfect, EP is the closest I've seem since '88, QC from VW1 should be better than China since they manuf less pairs, tho!!

I have a pair of reimagined 3’s I purchased straight from SNKRS. Is it normal for the insoles to have different numbers on the bottom? I have a previous pair I bought from Hibbett’s and the bottom insole numbers match. 🤔

What's up, Tony? I know we spoke about this on IG, but I'll address it here just in caae someone else has the same question/concern. When it comes to the insoles, sometimes random insoles will get paired. I don't think the factories are necessarily trying to match insoles when it comes to numbers and letters on the bottom. Sometimes it just happens that way, but I don't think it's a standard.

Man good looking out for this, so everything passes but under my insole it says 778223-LN3 and on my tongue tag it says LN4. Also the sizing in the shoe under the insole only has 12 in the middle of the right shoe and none in my left shoe. Are my shoes fake???

No problem, Carl! The factory name may not need to match what's underneath the insole. It's possible that the insoles were produced in LN3. The pLAcement of the "12" under the insoles doesn't necessarily mean the shoes are fake. Yours may have just come out differently

@@retrospectivedave9018 Thank you so much man. Yeah I saw another video where the placement of the 12 was in the same spot as mine and his pair was retail. You're a very resourceful and helping person I appreciate this so much. Thanks again and may all the success come your way!

Yo was wondering if you could help me out, just dropped 500 on a pair on flight club and the pair passes all the legit checks but the only things that are off is the insole doesn’t have the r or the 12, the bottom of the shoe doesn’t have my size written backwards, and my pair was made in vw1. Was I scammed by fc?

If you leave your pair out of the box for a few days, the smell will get weaker. I guess by them being in the box so long, the scent gets concentrated inside
