Sneaker Authentication & Legit Check

Sneakers are the single most faked category, and "super fakes" now clone the box, tags and even production codes. We inspect your pair from photos the way an in-person authenticator does — matching the SKU, checking fonts, silhouette geometry and sole texture — then return a clear verdict backed by a digital certificate.

What we check

Box label & SKU

We match the style code, colorway and size on the box label against the shoe itself. On replicas the SKU often doesn't match the color or carries extra, invented characters.

Size tag & tongue label

We check the font, kerning and stitching on the size tag, plus the tongue label. Warped letters, wrong spacing and sloppy seams are classic fake tells.

Silhouette & midsole paint

We read the toe box shape, midsole height and outline, and paint precision. Fakes give themselves away with collapsed lines, uneven paint and a too-puffy or too-flat profile.

Materials & glue smell

We assess leather grain, suede density and glue residue along the welt. A harsh chemical smell and excess glue point to a low-grade factory build.

Factory & production codes

We cross-check the factory and production date on the label against the model's real manufacturing lines. A non-existent factory or mismatched date is a serious red flag.

Signs of a replica

  • Box SKU doesn't match the pair's colorway or size
  • Warped font, uneven kerning or rough stitching on the size tag
  • Collapsed silhouette, messy midsole paint or paint bleed
  • Strong glue smell and excess adhesive along the welt and seams
  • Flat, "soapy" Boost or Air sole texture lacking the correct grain

Frequently asked

What photos do you need to legit-check sneakers?

Clear shots of the box label with the SKU, a close-up of the size tag, the tongue label, both soles, the sidewalls and the stitching in daylight. More detail means a more accurate verdict.

Can a super fake be caught from photos alone?

Yes. Even top-tier replicas never nail everything at once: the tag font, midsole geometry, sole texture and production codes expose a fake when read together.

How long does authentication take?

Usually ~15 minutes to a few hours, depending on queue and photo quality. If the pair is authentic, you receive a free digital QR certificate.

What does the QR certificate do?

It's a digital proof of authenticity linked to your verification result. It's ideal to show a buyer when reselling as evidence the pair is genuine.
