Nike sneakers are faked at an enormous scale, and modern replicas can look convincing. Our experts and AI inspect the details that consistently separate real pairs from fakes.
We check the swoosh shape and the stitching around it. A misshapen swoosh or uneven, sloppy stitching is one of the clearest signs of a fake.
We inspect the insole print quality and how cleanly it is glued down. Genuine pairs are neat, while replicas often show excess glue or off-centre prints.
We verify that the SKU on the box label matches the actual shoe, colourway and size. A box SKU that does not match the shoe is a major red flag.
We compare the tongue-tag fonts, sizing layout and details against genuine references for that model and release.
Authentic Nikes have a characteristic factory glue smell and correct materials. Cheap-feeling materials or a chemical odour suggest a replica.
Most pairs are verified in about 15 minutes once we have your photos.
For sneakers we usually need the swoosh, stitching, insole, tongue tag and box label, so a few photos give a much safer verdict than two.
