Hey guys, so i’ve had a couple pairs of Sacai’s and i’ve just purchased the Summit White colour way, and I thought i’d give you guys a couple photos of how i legit check my pairs and what I look for. This may help people if you’re looking for how to legit check your pairs or if you might be worried about your pair. I’ll attach photos with numbers on them, in reference to each point I number below.
(I’m also just focusing on a couple parts of the shoe - that are normally easy ways to spot any differences of faults, not the entire shoe/box/etc...)
__________________________________________
1. The first thing for me is to check the BACK “Nike Sacai” logo. The dot of the “i” in Sacai, should be quite bold and squared perfectly inbetween each line of the“E” in Nike. (See photo below)
If your dot on the “i” looks quite small/off-center, that may be a sign.
2. The 2 tone toe box materials.
The dark grey material should flow smoothly out underneath the light grey material on the side of the toe box. Sometimes on fake pairs, the light grey material comes up too high, and cuts off the dark grey material. The dark grey material should be even with the light grey material as it becomes smaller.
3. Nike Laces Bag.
The NIKE logo, on the the laces bag. Should NOT be the normal Nike logo, as it is too thick. It should be the NIKE SPORTSWEAR logo, and the NIKE writing, should be smaller and not as bold as the tick. There should also be a red line on the top of the bag.
4. Black Light Test.
To me, this is currently the MOST AFFECTIVE method to legit check these shoes. As the fakes have gotten quite good, and the Sacai’s are not always the exact same in shape and details, this is still something that to my knowledge, fakes have not been able to do yet.
The ORANGE TICK on the Nike Tongue, should light up ORANGE underneath a black light. If your shoe does not, it is most likely a fake pair. If you are worried that yours may be fake, this is probably the easiest way to find out your answer.
