General Rules

  • If the price is too good to be true than chances are it is probably a fake
  • If the seller has the sneaker in hand before the sneakers hit the retail store 99.9% of the time they are fake
  • Look closely at the box and the font on the box label. Also, most boxes should have a stamp and or quality control sticker
  • Look at the stitching. If the stitching looks bad there is a chance they could be fake
  • Red Flag if the box is really banged up on a new release
  • Stay away if the seller is not that reputable but has full size runs of all the heat
  • Stay away if the seller says they are unauthorized but sneakers are used with the same materials
