Hey sneakerheads, it's your boy here with a PSA on those knockoff kicks. We all know the fakes are getting better, but here's your checklist to not get duped.
- Stitching: Look for uneven stitching and poor thread quality on 'Mike' sneakers instead of 'Nike.'
- Shape: The dimensions are usually off, you'll see bulkier soles and weird arch shapes.
- Material: They love to skimp on material quality. If those Js feel like stiff cardboard, you're dealing with a fugazi.
- Smell: Weird but true - fake shoes have a distinct chemical odor, probably from the low-grade glue.
Always remember, if the deal seems too good to be true, you're probably not getting the real deal. Stay woke!
The smell test never fails lol - sniffed out a pair of fake Yeezys last week, smelled like they marinated in chemical soup 💀 Always trust the nose, fam.
