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.
