Do you want to lean how to spot fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow sneakers? You don’t want to get scammed with a counterfeit Yeezy 380 Calcite Glow?
If so, then you are in the right place to learn how to authenticate Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow pairs.
So as to properly understand what we are going to show you in this guide, we are gong to sort out all of the information within a few steps.
Along with every step of the guide on how to spot fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes, we are going to link fake vs real Yeezy Calcite Glow reference images.
To put it shortly, the fastest and the easiest way to spot fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes is to look at the size tag inside each shoe, as the replica Yeezy Calcite sneakers always have their inscriptions at the wrong thickness, while the authentic items are always perfectly detailed.
Starting with the first step of the guide on how to spot fake Yeezy boost 380 Calcite Glow sneakers, we are going to have a look at the label on the box of the real vs fake Calcite Glow Yeezy Boost 380s.
Where you’ll have to look at on the box’s label is the right side, where you’ll have to scan the barcode, whether automatically with our app, or with just manually.
This makes the barcode a reliable indicator of authenticity that can help you ensure you only purchase the original Adidas manufactured sneakers.
When you are ready to scan the barcode of your Yeezy 380 Calcite Glow, we recommend that you use the Legit Check App.
When you scan the barcode using the Legit Check App, the app will run your unique barcode against other Yeezy sneakers online.
Note that all Yeezy sneakers have a unique barcode that relates to a specific combination of:
The first thing you’ll have to is to download and install the Legit Check App on your device. Our app is yet available on iOS and on Android running devices.
Once you are ready to scan, tap on the barcode scan icon and focus in on the barcode on the box of your Yeezy Calcite Glow.
The results are where you will need to apply your intelligence. You will need to look for matches that confirm the authenticity status of your Yeezy Calcite Glow.
Now, if the results show lots of confirmation points on Google for your unique barcode as illustrated in the picture below, then you can be assured that your box is authentic.
As you can see in the image above, all of the results match with the colourway, size, and product ID with the authentic Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow’s box label in the fake vs real Yeezy 380 Calcite Glow image above.
Please keep in mind that if there are no results shown for your pair, that is because the Yeezy Calcite Glow is a newer release, and it takes time until the results of the barcodes are generated on the internet.
Please note that we say the box is authentic and not the sneakers because there is still the possibility that the real sneakers might have been swapped for the fake ones by the fake resellers to trick buyers into thinking the sneakers are genuine.
As you can see in the image above, the fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow’s barcode does not match with the colourway, size, and product ID, while the authentic Yeezy does.
Please note that the barcode scanning can only be considered a perfect match when the size and colourway combination on the results match the one on the box.
Thus, if only one of the two matches, then the box is still a fake.

Proceeding to the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow sneakers, we are going to look at the real vs fake Yeezy Calcite Glow shoes for their size tag.
Just as we’ve mentioned, this little piece of fabric inside the shoes is the most reliable authenticity sign.
That’s because the replica Adidas x Kanye West “Yeezy” sneakers never have the correct detailing for their characters which we are going to analyze now.
So as to properly see the details on the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes, let’s have a look at the reference image below.
In the image with the fake vs real Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes above, we have noticed a few thews on the fake shoes.
1 – The “MADE IN CHINA” text
First of all, the fake Yeezy Calcite Glow shoes have their “MADE IN CHINA” inscription at the top fo the size tag at the wrong thickness.
In fact, if you look at the fake shoes’ text, you can notice how it looks a bit too thick. This flaw is the easiest visible on the letter “N” in the “IN” text from the image above.
Looking at the genuine Yeezy Calcite Glow 380s, you can notice how their “MADE IN CHINA” inscription presents a lower thickness rather than the fake pair’s text.
2 – The date of manufacturing’s print
Proceeding to the second flaw which we’ve spotted on the replica Yeezy Calcite Glow 380s, you can see how their “07/20” text is too thick.
On the other hand, the authentic Calcite Glow Yeezy Boost 380s have their “07/20” inscription looking thinner than the one on the fake pair.
Quick mention, this inscription will most likely differ from a pair to another, as this text stands fo the month and the date of when the shoes were manufactured in.
3 – The appearance of the MALE/MÂLE text
Both the real and fake Yeezy 380 pairs may or may not have MALE/MÂLE inscriptions. So whether your sneakers feature the text or not, it is perfectly fine.
Therefore, we do not consider this specific inscription as a way of spotting the fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow pairs.
4 – The last line of text on the size tag
Going to the fourth flaw which we’ve spotted on the fake Yeezy 380 Calcite Glow pair, we now have to look t the last line of text on the shoes in order to see the differences.
Here, you can see how the fake shoes have their letter “F” using a different font from the one found on the authentic shoes.
At the same time, this flaw can be spotted if you look at the shape of the letter “F”. On the fake shoes, the letter is too tall and narrow, whereas on the authentic shoes, the letter is smaller and generally boxier than the one on the fake shoes.
5 – The LHG/APE/CLU/EVN print
Please note that LHG, CLU, APE, or EVN inscriptions might be found here and you should not worry if you’ve got any of them.
All three inscriptions can be found on an authentic or a fake pair, so we do not consider this area to be a reliable spot for identifying a fake Yeezy 380 Calcite Glow pair.
However, what you need to pay attention to is the quality of printing here. Look out for ink blotting, fuzzy lines, and other signs of poor quality of printing.
6 – The “US UK FR JP CHN” text
Proceed go the sixth and the last flaw which we’ve spotted on the fake vs real Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes, we are now going to look at the line of text which indicates different countries’ measuring of the shoes.
In the image with the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow image above, we have pointed out how the fake pair has its “US UK FR JP CHN” text too thick.
Back to the authentic Calcite Glow 380 Yeezys, you can notice how the same line of text on the legit shoes is thiner than the one found on the fake shoes.
As for the third method on how to authenticate Yeezy 380 Calcite Glow sneakers, we are going to flip the two pairs upside down, and have a look at the boost soles.
In most cases, the fake shoes have their pellets and the “boost” text on the sole at the wrong thickness, all of this due to the materials used to craft the shoes.
So as to properly see this, let’s have a look at the fake vs real Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow image from below.
In the image with the fake vs real Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes above, we have pointed out how the fake shoes have their “boost” text looking too thick.
That is caused because the fake pair has its “boost” text fit too deep into the boost foam, therefore having this look.
On the other hand, if we look at the legit shoes’ boost sole, you can notice how the “boost” text is thinner and fit less deep into the foam material.
Now let’s have a look at another real vs fake Yeezy Calcite Glow 380 image so as to see how the pellets should also look like.
In the image with the real vs fake Yeezy 380 Calcite Glow shoes above, we have pointed out how the fake pair has both of its pellets and the “boost” sole too thick.
Back to the authentic Calcite Glow Yeezy Boost 380s, you can see how their pellets and the “boost” text are thinner than the ones on the fake pair.
Lastly, in the image above, we have highlighted an example of how another replica looks like – with its “boost” text and the pellets at the wrong thickness.
Going to the fourth method on how to spot fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes, we are going to have a look at the lacing style of the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes.
The authentic Adidas Yeezy shoes must have their laces in a specific pattern, which in some cases, the replica manufacturers don’t get correct.
In the image with the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes above, we have pointed out how the authentic shoes should look like.
The correct pattern goes like this: on the left shoe, from the wearer’s view, the left side’s lace is supposed to go under the right lace.
At the same time, on the right shoe, from the wearer’s view, the authentic shoes must have their right side’s lace going under the left lace.
Looking at the fake vs real Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow image above, you can see how the fake shoes don’t have their laces correctly attached to the pair.
That is because the fake pair has its left and the right laces improperly positioned, and this is the flaw which we call the “inverted laces”.
Such flaws occur on the replica Yeezys due to little attention paid when manufacturing the replica pairs.
Bear in mind that this flaw applies only to the deadstock pairs (unworn, in the factory condition) and to the pairs where we are 100% certain that they didn’t have their laces swapped.
Lastly, in the image above, we have highlighted how the authentic classic Yeezy Natrual laces should come – in the cardboard packaging.
That is because as you may know, the Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes come with the already-knotted the plastic piece laces, but they also come with the classic ones in the cardboard highlighted above.
The steps we’ve written so far are the best ways to authenticate this item.
The next few steps are still reliable signs of authenticity but are for non-top-versions of replicas available for this item. We recommend sticking to the steps we’ve explained above to make sure you’re not drawing the wrong conclusions.
As for the fifth step of the guide on how to spot fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow sneakers, we are going to look at the box label of the fake vs real Yeezy Calcite Glow pairs.
When inspecting the label, there are two things you should look out for – the size and the serial number on the box.
First off, all sneakers in the Yeezy 380 line are released in two versions – the US version and the international version.
The US version features three sizes on the label – US, UK, and F. While the US size are in large print, the other two are in smaller prints under it.
The international version of the sneakers displays 6 countries (US, UK, F, D, J, and CHN) sizes and all 6 of them are in equal prints on the label.
Now regarding the serial number, if it is a US version, the serial number is supposed to end with a V02 or V03. However, the international (Canadian/European) versions end with a V10.
Any deviation from this pattern is an obvious sign that you are dealing with a fake product.
As seen in the image below, the authentic label which is an international version has a serial number that ends with V10 as opposed to the fake one which ends with a V10 despite being a US version.
Proceeding to the seventh method on how to authenticate Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes, we will now have to check the overall look of the toe box on the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow pairs.
In the image with the fake vs real Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow pairs above, we have pointed out how the fake shoes don’t have their toe box at the correct inflation level.
What we mean by that is that the fake pair has its toe box looking too small, too thin and curved up too much
On the other hand, if you look at the legit Yeezy boost 380 Calcite Glow pair, you can see how its toe box is bulkier and less curvy than the fake pair’s toe box.
As for the seventh step of the guide on how to spot fake Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow sneakers, we are going to look at the real vs fake Calcite Glow 380s for their GITD effect.
To see this, you need to turn the lights off and use something that has UV rays so that the GITD material can be revealed.
In the image with the fake vs real Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow shoes above, we have pointed out how the fake Yeezys have their material too dark.
Looking at the authentic Yeezys, it is noticeable how their material shines brighter, as it isn’t as concentrated as the fake pair’s material.
