First off, and this is kinda obvious but people still miss it, *look at the price*. If it’s like, suspiciously low… red flag city, population: you, about to get scammed. Like, nobody’s selling genuine Yeezys at half price unless they’re, like, won them in a raffle and don’t even *want* ’em (which is unlikely, right?).
Then, dig into the details. This is where it gets tricky. For the 380 Mists, pay attention to the pattern on the Primeknit. The real ones have a very specific, almost organic, flow to the swirls and shapes. The fakes? They often look kinda… blocky. Stiff. Almost like someone just photocopied the pattern and slapped it on. The colors, too, can be off. The Mists are supposed to be, well, misty! Fakes can be too brown, too green, just… off.
And speaking of details, don’t ignore the Boost. It’s supposed to have that distinct, almost bubbly texture. Feel it! Does it feel right? Compare it to pics online. I’ve seen fakes where the Boost looks like they just used cheap styrofoam – you can *feel* the difference.
Now, for the Cream Whites, which are practically iconic, the size tag is your best friend. Like that little tag inside the shoe? Look at the font! The real ones have a very specific font, not too thick, not too thin, and everything is aligned, man. Fake Yeezys? The writing on the size tag is often thicker, kinda jumbled, and sometimes words are just… misaligned. It’s like they hired someone who can barely spell, you know? It’s a dead giveaway. Honestly, it’s probably the *easiest* way to tell on the Creams.
But here’s the thing, and this is just my opinion: sometimes, even if everything *seems* right, something can still feel off. Like a vibe. Trust your gut, man! If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Get opinions. Hit up sneaker forums. Post pics online and ask for a legit check (LC). Two heads are better than one, especially when your hard-earned cash is on the line.
