Fake Air Jordan sneakers have, very unfortunately, become the norm in recent years with both blatant fakes and "grey market" sneakers flooding the scene by the thousands. As we saw earlier this month and as these recently surfaced pictures further prove, fake Air Jordan sneakers have existed since the very beginning of the Nike Air Jordan line.

Modeled after the very rare original Air Jordan 1 High "Metallic Navy," which is releasing in retro form this weekend, these knock-off Air Jordans feature the overall look and feel of the original authentic Air Jordan 1 down to the color-blocking and the metallic leather accents. While not much is known about these sneakers, the owner states that the pair does not feature any branding and was made in the U.S.A. Ironically enough, the pair is in amazing shape considering its age.
