Nike Air Yeezy 2 Authentic/Fake Comparison

[raphp]

 
@CaptainCrown3  legit. Good luck this time around.

How could you tell him those are legit, the tongue is hidden and there's a reason for that.

Advice: if you can't see the tongue when checking RO's pictures, just leave em, they're probably fake as the tongue is a dead giveaway and someone who's selling a legit will definitely show a clear and close picture of it.

Hello I recently bought a pair of Air Yeezy 2 Platinum on Ebay for $ 2000 euros, I checked everything that was checked and it can look real problem is that the lace are grayish color the seller got me say that the bought as his do, what you think?

This is the same lace on this photo: (taken from a legit check)

^ seems to be hiding that tongue on purpose

if you look closely you can see the tongue is there. And it has the dark netting on it. Plus you can just tell these are legit

Exactly.

 

[serstylz2]

yea ive never seen a fake box look in that good condition

 

[god bear]

Exactly.

ROs are easy as Hell to spot even without looking at the tongue. But looking for the tongue is just what stamps it.

1. Those customized plats are legit, but i wouldnt pay 10 cents for them. they look like crap.

2. Dude who bought the plats with magical color changing laces, they're fake, and im terribly sorry you didnt have enough sense not to fall for that. I hope you can get your 2000 euros back.

those are authentic. will you please stop looking at the color of the laces to tell if a pair is legit or not? lmao there are plenty of other ways to tell.

and the laces on platinums are NOT white, they're pure platinum, which is a light grey color. Every pair of legit platinums, used or new, has the same color laces. They dont change colors.

Simple things to check for before posting a LC

People if you have "CM" in capitals on the box its fake "cm" is correct, remember EU pairs have the little black hologram square on the box.

Platinums have a 3M thread woven through the shoes ask for a dark room flash shot and you will see the 3M shining.
Red Octobers will have the black mesh, netting on the tongue. Also poor midsole paint jobs and excessive glue stains around the suede etc
Solars are hard but the scales and toe box shape usually are a good indicator.

No fake, if there's a pink border instead of a white border around the inside tag it's fake

This dude going hard to defend his purchase

Denial, reality will set in at some point once the thirst calms
