You are in the right place if you wish to know how to spot fake Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers because today we have created this ultimate guide that will teach you how to see fake Yeezy Boost 750.

We have arranged all of this information in just a few steps in which we have linked real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 images in order for you to understand easily how to see fake Yeezy 750 sneakers.

As the last note before we start the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 guide, we want to mention that all the spots that we’ll show you in this fake vs real Yeezy 750 guide apply to all of the colourways: Light Grey (Glow In The Dark – GITD), Light Brown (Chocolate), OG Grey and the Triple Black.

How to spot fake Yeezy Boost 750

The quickest way to check for authenticity on your Yeezy Boost 750 is by inspecting the size tag and the boost sole of the sneakers.

The fake size tag features many inconsistencies while the boost sole may have pattern and placement flaws.

Step 1: Real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 size tag

As we said previously, we consider the size tag of the Yeezy Boost 750 is the most reliable sign of a fake pair.

We will begin by inspecting the Yeezy 750 OG Grey’s size tag, then the Triple Black, Grey Gum, and lastly, the Chocolate colourway’s size tag.

Yeezy Boost 750 OG Grey size tag

First of all, let’s have a quick look at the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 OG Grey size tag image in order to give you a better visualization of the step:

Now that you had a look at the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 OG Grey size tag images, let’s analyze the flaws of the fake Yeezys.

1- The size number text

Instant red flag: the OG Grey colourway is only available in full US sizes. If you see a US10.5 pair, US9.5 pair or anything like that (in half size), it’s an instant callout for a fake Yeezy Boost 750 OG Grey pair.

2 – The “adidas ®” print

 The ® character is barely touching the QR code on the retail Yeezy 750 pairs. On the fake Yeezy Boost 750 OG Grey pairs, there’s no spacing between these two. Also, the text is illegible on the authentic Yeezys, whereas on replicas, the symbol is just barely legible.

3 – The MALE/MÂLE print

The letters “A” and “L” in the “MALE” text are too close to each other on the fake Yeezy Boost 750 OG Grey pairs. They should be barely touching on authentic pairs.

4 – The PO code

The PO code should match the code on the box (pictured below). Look out for the numeric code, as UPC is written on this label but you could also have EAN there instead.

5 – The ART B35309 print

Take a look at how the “3” characters are too close to the other numbers on the fake Yeezy Boost 750 OG Grey, as opposed to retail Yeezys. For instance, the second three is closer to “5” on authentic pairs whereas on replicas it just touches the number “5”.

6 – The date of manufacture

“02/15” is the wrong date. Notice it is written “01/15” on the real pairs. This, by the way, is the date of manufacture.

As a side note, let’s have a look at a replica Yeezy Boost 750 OG Grey size tag on a version of poorer quality because here we can meet a blatant flaw on the fake Yeezys.

how to tell fake yeezy 750

If the size tag is missing the “MALE/MÂLE” row of text, it’s an instant callout for a pair of fake Yeezy Boost 750 OG Grey.

Yeezy Boost 750 Triple Black size tag

Now that you know how to spot the fake Yeezy Boost 750 OG Grey sneakers’ size tag, let’s move on to the Triple Black colourway and analyze the real vs fake Yeezy Triple Black images.

real vs fake yeezy 750 black

In the fake vs real Yeezy Boost 750 Triple Black images above, we have pointed out six main flaws of the replica Yeezy 750s.

1 – The “US UK FR JP CHN” print

The “US UK FR JP CHN” text appears to be a lot thinner on the fake Yeezy Boost 750 Triple Black sneakers than the text on the authentic shoes.

In fact, almost every replica Yeezy 750 pairs have their size tag’s text looking a lot thinner than it has to be on the legit pairs.

2 – The MALE/MÂLE thickness

The “MALE/MÂLE” text on the fake Yeezy 750 Triple Blacks has the same flaw as the first flaw that we have pointed out.

The fake Yeezy Boost 750 Triple Black shoes are most common to have the “MALE/MÂLE” print looking way thinner than the text on the retail shoes.

3 – The MALE/MÂLE lettering

Staying still on the “MALE/MÂLE” print, we have pointed out the fact that on the fake Yeezys, the letters “A” and “L” on the “MALE” text are touching, and on the fake shoes, these two letters don’t make contact

4 – The “adidas ®” print

An important spot on every Yeezy Boost sneaker is the “adidas ®” text. Most of the time on the fake sneakers, the “®” symbol is placed too close to the “adidas” text.

On the authentic Yeezy Boost 750 Triple Black, you can notice how there is a distance from the “adidas” text to the “®” symbol.

You will never see an authentic Yeezy Boost 750 Triple Black pair having the “adidas” and the “®” symbol touching.

5 – The size number text

Every time you have to legit check the Yeezy Boost 750 Triple Black, analyze the font used for the lettering.

You can see how on the fake Yeezy Triple Black shoes, the number “4” uses a different font on the fake Yeezys than the font on the authentic sneakers, and that’s due to the horizontal line which is longer on the fake “4”, and on the authentic Yeezys, the horizontal line is shorter on the number “4”.

6 – The PO number

The PO code should match the code on the box (pictured below). Look out for the numeric code, as UPC is written on this label but you could also have EAN there instead. This is the same flaw as from the OG Grey size tag.

Yeezy Boost 750 Grey Gum Size tag

Now is the time for us to move on to the Yeezy Boost 750 Grey Gum real vs fake size tag.

As usual, let’s have a quick look at the Yeezy Grey Gum fake vs real images, and then we will tell you the flaws of the fake Yeezys.

how to spot real vs fake yeezy 750

Because you took a look at the real vs fake Yeezy Grey Gum images, let’s move on to the flaws on the fake Yeezys.

1 – The “MADE IN CHINA” text

This text is most commonly flawed on the replica Yeezy Boost 750 Grey Gum sneakers, and that’s due to the thickness.

In the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 Grey Gum image above, we have pointed out the fact that the fake shoes’ “MADE IN CHINA” text is a lot thinner and wider than the text on the authentic shoes.

2 – The MALE/MÂLE lettering

On the “MALE/MÂLE” print, we have pointed out the fact that on the fake Yeezys, the letters “A” and “L” on the “MALE” text are touching, and on the fake shoes, these two letters don’t make contact.

3 – The ART text

In the Yeezy 750 Grey Gum fake vs real image above we have pointed out how the fake sneakers’ “ART” text has the letters “A” and “R” divided, while on the authentic sneakers, these two letters are connected and they make contact. On the fake shoes, they don’t make contact.

5 – The PO number

The PO code should match the code on the box (pictured below). Look out for the numeric code, as UPC is written on this label but you could also have EAN there instead. This is the same flaw as in the previous size tags.

6 – The “CHN” print

The letter “C” is touching the letter “H” in the “CHN” print on the authentic Yeezy Boost 750 Grey Gum’s size tags, while on the fake sneakers, these two letters don’t make contact, and they are spaced out.

fake vs real yeezy 750

In the real vs fake Yeezy Grey Gum image above, we have pointed out how the fake sneakers have blank space between the letters “C” and “H” in the “CHN” text, while on the legit sneakers, there is no space between.

Yeezy Boost 750 Chocolate size tag

As for the last real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 size tag comparison, we are going to analyze the real vs fake Yeezy Chocolate’s size tag.

Yeezy Boost 750 Size Tag Fake vs Real

Now let’s move on to the flaws on the fake Yeezy Boost 750 Chocolate since you’ve had a look at the real vs fake Yeezy 750 Chocolate image.

1 – The ‘MADE IN CHINA” print

In the fake vs real Yeezy 750 Chocolate image above we have pointed out the fact that on the fake shoes, the “MADE IN CHINA” text is a lot thinner on the fake sneakers.

Not only that, but there is a lot more blank space between the letters “A” and “D” in the “MADE” text than space on the authentic sneakers.

That means that the letters “A” and “D” on the authentic sneakers are much closer than the letters on the fake shoes.

2 and 7 – The size number prints

Full sizes are centrally aligned on fake size tags, whereas on the retail ones, they have enough space for the “1/2” extra text, being aligned to the left.

Again, digits are touching on retail tags, while on the fake one they’re spaced out.

3 – The “adidas ®” print

The problem with the replica Yeezy Boost 750 Chocolate’s “adidas ®” print is that the letter “R” in the copyright character is a lot more legible than the letter on the authentic sneakers, which isn’t as easy to read as the letter on the fake shoes.

4 and 5 – The half-size prints (1/2)

Both digits are touching the slash on the fake size tag. On the authentic size tag, only “1” is barely touching the slash.

“2” is barely touching the slash on the fake tag, yet on the real size tag, there’s clearly spacing between digits and the slash.

6 – The APE text

The two “7” digits (of APE 77901″) shouldn’t be touching, as it’s the case on fakes.

On the authentic sneakers, you can see how these don’t make contact, while on the fake Yeezy 750s, they do make contact.

8 – The PO number

The PO code should match the code on the box (pictured below). Look out for the numeric code, as UPC is written on this label but you could also have EAN there instead. This is the same flaw as from the previous size tags.

That makes it all for the size tags for every Yeezy Boost 750 colourway. Now, let’s move on to the next step of the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 legit check guide.

Step 2: Fake vs real Yeezy 750 boost sole

As for the second step of the guide on how to legit check Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers, we are going to analyze the boost sole on both the real vs fake Yeezy 750 sneakers.

Fake Vs Real Yeezy Boost 750

The main difference is this: authentic boost pellets have more of an oval shape, are bigger and more defined, whereas the fakes have random shapes and are less defined.

Check out the comparison as it’ll be easier to understand visually. Below the comparison, we’ve uploaded a few more examples of authentic Yeezy 750 boost soles.

Step 3: Check the Yeezy 750’s velcro patch

As for the third step of the guide on how to spot fake Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers, we are going to move to the side of the sneakers and analyze the velcro patch.

If you don’t know what the velcro patch is, when we say this, we refer to the little patch near the zip of the Yeezy 750 sneakers.

how to spot fake yeezy 750

In the fake vs real Yeezy Boost 750 image above, we have pointed out the fact that the fake sneakers have their velcro patch placed incorrectly.

In fact, the fake Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers have their velcro patch placed a lot closer to the zipper than the patch of authentic sneakers.

The authentic Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers will not always have this velcro patch placed in the same position as the one in the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 image above, but it will always have a noticeable distance from the zipper and to the patch.

On the other hand, the replica sneakers will always have their velcro patch placed too close to the zipper.

Not only that, but there are some cases in which the velcro patch can be placed even a lot further away from the zipper, and that’s easily noticeable.

There are also some versions of replica Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers which have their velcro patch looking totally different than the patch of the authentic sneakers, due to the shape.

fake vs real yeezy 750 velctro patch

In the Yeezy Boost 750 image above we have highlighted an example of a fake Yeezy Boost 750 sneaker which has its velcro patch shaped totally different.

As you can see in the fake Yeezy Boost 750 image above, the shape of the velcro patch is almost a circle in every corner and area, while the authentic sneakers have their patch’s corners looking a lot boxier.

We thought that we have to share another example of an authentic Yeezy Boost 750 velcro patch, and so, in the image above.

We placed another authentic Yeezy Boost 750 pair in which we have highlighted the correct shape and placement of the velcro patch in the image above.

Step 4: Inspect the footbed of your Yeezy Boost 750

The footbed is the material between the insole and the boost sole of your Yeezy Boost 750.

So, if you take the insoles out, you will see the footbed of these sneakers and you will be able to compare your sneakers to our real vs fake Yeezy 750 images.

For the fourth step of the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 legit check guide, we are going to analyze the pattern on the footbed of the real vs fake Yeezy 750.

Yeezy 750 Legit Check

In the fake vs real Yeezy Boost 750 image above, we want to show you how the fake Yeezy 750 pair’s stitching all around the footbed is a lot thicker than the stitching on the legit shoes.

In fact, the counterfeit Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers in the real vs fake Yeezy 750 image above use a different material for the stitches, which appear to be a lot thicker than the stitches on the authentic Yeezy 750 footbed.

Not only that, but it is also visible how on the authentic Yeezy 750’s footbed, the pellets on the boost sole of the shoes are visible, while on the replica Yeezy 750’s footbed, the pellets of the boost sole are totally not visible.

Step 5: Analyze the Yeezy Boost 750’s gum sole opacity

As for the fifth and the last step of the guide on how to spot fake Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers, we are going to inspect the opacity of the gum soles on the Yeezys.

What we need to mention for this step is that what we are about to explain applies only to the Grey Gum and the Chocolate Yeezy 750 colourways.

Fake vs real Yeezy Boost 750

In order to classify any Yeezy Boost 750 Grey Gum and/or Chocolate, you have to mark on your list two main factors about the gum sole: the matte finish and the colour.

Most of the time, on the fake Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers, you will see the fact that the opacity of the soles is totally different from the retail pairs, as the fake Yeezy 750’s soles use to be a lot shinier than they are on the legit shoes.

Then, about the colour, mostly, the fake Yeezy Boost 750’s soles appear to have a different colour nuance than the colour of the legit Yeezys.

The fake Yeezy Boost 750’s soles usually miss the yellow tint, while the authentic Yeezy 750 sneakers always have a yellowish tint on their soles.

Sure, this may differ due to the lighting, but in the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 750 image above, we tried to use photos for both the real vs fake Yeezy 750 sneakers’ with the same opacity and light in the room.

real vs fake yeezy boost 750

In the image above, we highlighted an example of how the matte finish should look on the authentic Yeezy Boost 750’s soles: the colour fades on the extreme sides of the soles.

Now, we are going to show you an example of a poor-quality Yeezy Boost 750, due to the colour used on the boost sole.

fake yeezy 750

In the fake Yeezy Boost 750 image above, we have pointed out an example which would be too “extreme”, but since there are replicas out there which look like this, we have to point out at them too.

You can see how in the fake Yeezy 750 image above, the colour of the sole appears to be too much of salmon pink, instead of the colour used on the authentic Yeezy’s soles.

If the sole of your Yeezy Boost 750 shines, that’s an instant call out, because the authentic soles will never shine, as in the example below:

yeezy 750 fake

As we previously said, you can see how in the fake Yeezy Boost 750 image above, the sole of the shoes shines, and that’s something you are not going to see on an authentic Yeezy 750 example.

Just with the last example of an authentic Yeezy Boost 750 sole example, we are going to highlight the perfect yellowish nuance of the sole.

authentic yeezy boost 750

In the image above, you can easily see how the sole of the authentic Yeezy Boost 750 is turning a bit yellow, and not just brown, and this is the detail that pretty much the majority of the replica manufacturers miss when they produce their shoes.

How can I spot fake Yeezy Boost 750 in 60 seconds?

The fake vs real Yeezy Boost 750 steps outlined above are well detailed and it will be time demanding to perform each authentication step when you need to confirm the originality of your Yeezy 750.

That is why we have compiled this quick 60 seconds solution to authenticating your Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers. Below are the top 5 indicators that can help you determine if you have a fake pair of Yeezy Boost 750 or the real deal.

  1. Verify the Yeezy Boost 750 size tag for inconsistencies in the printing and placement quality
  2. Check the boost sole of your Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers. Most of the time, the fake Yeezy 750 pairs’ boost pellets have more of an oval shape rather than the authentic pellets’ shape which is more randomised
  3. Look at the velcro patch near the zipper of your Yeezy Boost 750. Mostly, the fake Yeezy 750 sneakers have their velcro patch placed too close to the zipper, and not only that but even the shape of the fake shoes’ velcro patch is different from the authentic patch’s shape, as the fake shoes have their shape looking too curvy and round
  4. Inspect the footbed of your Yeezys. Usually, the fake Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers have their stitching on the footbed looking thicker than it has to be on the legit Yeezys, and not only that, but on the authentic sneakers, you can see the pellets on the boost sole through the footbed, and on the fake sneakers, the pellets won’t be visible
  5. Analyze the colour of the sole. Most of the time, the fake shoes miss the yellowish look on the sole, while on the legit shoes, you will see a bit of a yellow nuance
