Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Green, Red, Copper Legit

The box – as usual the fake boxes will be worn out, flimsy and have the sticker on the wrong end (it should not be on the end that opens), this particular fake I bought on eBay even has Chinese scribbles in pencil too.

The Ape Sticker – a new addition to spotting fake Yeezy’s is whether or not the boxes come with a small round white sticker with the letters “APE” followed by a number; the genuine pair I bought had the number “20” on it.

The Red Stripe – it’s worth noting in these photos that because of the lighting some look orange but I can assure you the right tone is red/pink. The shape is the most noticeable difference, the real stripe should be well spaced and feature a smooth curve. Replicas will usually be slightly off to one side and not have a smooth curve, as you can see below

The font – again on the V2’s the writing on the sides in the strip is a giveaway for fakes and replicas, the “SPLY – 350” should not appear italic:

The Back Stripe
– it’s worth looking at how the stripe ends at the back of the shoe, a real pair will continue to quite thick after the stitching whereas some fakes pretty much stop on the stitching. Also the shape of the stripe on real pairs should be straight, fakes appear quite pointed, as you can see on the close up photos:

The laces – this seems to be a common fault in the replicas (both V1 and V2) but the ends of the laces should not be white.

The Heel – there should be visible stitching around the inside edges, this is usually missing on replicas. The width of the heel should be quite thin, the fake are often much wider as you can see below.
