How to tell if your sneakers are authentic?

How to check the authenticity of your sneakers?

Buying sneakers online requires knowing the right criteria to avoid unpleasant surprises. Here are the points to check.

1. The box and labels

An authentic pair comes in a sturdy box with consistent labeling: same colorway, same size on the box and shoe, correct style code.

2. The stitching

The stitching must be regular and symmetrical. Both shoes should be identical. Irregular stitching or glaring asymmetry is a bad sign.

3. The sole

The sole must be firm and well attached. On Air Max, the Air window must be well defined and symmetrical. On Yeezy, the Boost sole must have a characteristic texture.

4. The smell

A strong chemical plastic smell can indicate lower quality materials. A good sneaker should not have an aggressive odor.
