Fake vs. Real Sneakers

In a world where sneakers have become both fashion and collectibles, the replica market is growing fast. At Hypekicksclub, we only sell 100% authentic sneakers, and we believe buyers should know how to tell the difference between real and fake.

✅ 1. The Box Never Lies

• Real pairs come with correct box dimensions, labels, and fonts.

• Check the style code – it should match the one on the sneaker tag.

• Glossy, overly shiny boxes? Instant red flag.

👀 2. Smell & Feel

• Sounds weird – but sneakerheads know: authentic pairs have that factory smell.

• Fakes often have a strong glue or plastic odor.

• Feel the material – if it feels cheap or inconsistent, that’s a red flag.

🧵 3. Stitching & Build Quality

• Check the stitching: real sneakers are precise and symmetrical.

• Look at the midsole glue – messy finishes = usually fake.

• Nike, Jordan, and Adidas all have high QC – if it looks sloppy, walk away.

🔍 4. Details Matter

• Logos, tongue tags, insoles – everything should be sharp and consistent.

• On Jordans, check the Jumpman – fakes often have a weird arm, short legs or awkward pose 😅

• For Yeezys, check the BOOST – authentic pairs have that bouncy, responsive texture.
