Yeezy slides are almost impossible to secure at retail price. They sell out instantly, but you can always purchase a pair from resellers (if you know what to look out for). The minimal design of Yeezy slides makes it easy for counterfeit manufacturers to duplicate, so how do you know if the product you’re eyeing is genuine? Whether you’re a certified “sneakerhead” or just looking for a high-quality replica, here’s how you can tell the difference between real and fake Yeezy slides.
Things You Should Know
- Fake Yeezys often arrive with unfinished, string-like edges.
- Authentic slides have a distinct, deeply-engraved Adidas logo on the footbed.
- Real Yeezys have 3 logos engraved on the interior shoe strap–“YEEZY”, “MADE IN CHINA”, and a numeric size engraving.
Steps
Notes
- Counterfeit manufacturers will often produce an extended range of colors to sell more products. To verify authenticity, check to see if your slides are an official colorway.[14]
