A Bathing Ape (BAPE) shark hoodies and ABC camo are heavily faked. Our experts and AI inspect the symmetry, camo and hardware that genuine pieces always get right.
We check the shark hoodie teeth and face for symmetry and alignment. Misaligned or uneven teeth are one of the most reliable signs of a fake.
We inspect the ABC camo for print sharpness and correct colour. Replicas often look dull, blurry or use the wrong shades and ape-head shapes.
Genuine BAPE uses YKK zippers. We verify the zipper branding and quality, since non-YKK or unbranded zips are a common giveaway.
We assess the ape-head embroidery for clean, dense stitching. Loose, sparse or sloppy embroidery indicates a replica.
We compare the tags, fonts and labels against genuine references for the specific piece.
Most items are verified in about 15 minutes after we get your photos.
For a shark hoodie we usually want the face, the zippers, the camo and the tags, so a few photos beat just two.
