How We Authenticate

How Do We Authenticate Sneakers?

Every pair is inspected in front of you at the counter.

Fake sneakers flood the market. We check brand-specific details before making any offer:

  • Materials & Build — leather quality, stitching, glue lines, midsole foam
  • Labels & Tags — size tag fonts, UPC codes, production date formatting
  • Box & Packaging — label matching, tissue paper, lace bags when present
  • Brand Markers — Nike swoosh shape, Jordan wings logo, Yeezy boost pellets
  • Cross-Reference — compared against retail releases and resale databases

If it doesn't pass, we'll tell you why. If it does, you get a cash offer on the spot.

OG box with matching label increases the offer but is not required.

Which Jordans have the most value?
Jordan 1, 3, 4, and 11 retros in OG colorways and limited collabs.

Depends on the model. Some vintage pairs with yellowing still carry premium.

Can I sell shoes instantly for cash?
Yes — we authenticate and evaluate while you wait, and pay cash on the spot. Most single-pair visits take under 20 minutes.
Do you buy shoes other than sneakers?
We focus on sneakers and designer footwear. Everyday shoes without resale demand aren't a fit.
How quickly do prices drop after release?
General releases lose value fast. Limited pairs often gain value over time.
