How to Spot Fake Sneakers: A Collector’s Guide

Intro:
The demand for Air Jordans, Yeezys, and limited drops has fueled a wave of replicas. But for collectors, authenticity is everything. Here’s how to spot fakes before they hit your doorstep.

Main Content:

  • Check the Box & Labels: Originals have consistent fonts, correct SKU numbers, and high-quality printing.

  • Materials & Stitching: Fake pairs often cut corners with glue stains, uneven stitching, or flimsy leather.

  • Smell Test: Real sneakers often have a distinct fresh glue/rubber scent—fakes smell more like cheap plastic.

  • Price Too Good To Be True? It Probably Is.
