Let’s begin.

How to spot fake Yeezy 350 V2 Zyon

In short, the quickest way to identify fake Yeezy Zyon is to examine the size tags.

Replica Yeezys often have incorrect inscriptions, with flaws in painting, font-weight, and positioning.

1. Barcode

All authentic Yeezys have the following unique details:

• Colorway: ZYON (FZ1267)
• Style: 350 V2
• Size (US): 4 — 17

1.1. How to scan

1. Get the Legit Check App
2. Open the “Barcode scanner”
3. Point it at your shoebox

Let’s check out the results!

1.2. Real

• The right shoe comes up:
  • Yeezy Boost 350 V2
  • Zyon
  • FZ1267
  • Sizes US10 (and UK9.5 in the second website)
• Hence, it’s a 100% authentic barcode.

1.3. Fake

• Nothing comes up.
• None of the reference points are checked.
• Hence, it’s a fake barcode.

The story might still be unclear.

For such instances, we’ve got a detailed Yeezy barcode guide.

2. Size tag

Fake:

1. “MADE IN CHINA” text appears too thick
2. The text for the sizes listed (US UK FR JP CHN) is overly thick

4. The date of manufacture (“02/20”) is printed too thickly and characters are too close together

6. “adidas ®” text is too thick, making the registered sign nearly invisible
7. “ART FZ1267” number appears overly thick

3. Box label

All 350 V2 Yeezys have specific rules for the box’s label.

US Version:

• Features three sizes (US, UK, F) on the label
• US size is printed larger while the other two sizes are in smaller prints
• Serial number typically ends with V02 or V03

International Version:

• Displays six country sizes (US, UK, F, D, J, CHN) equally printed on the label
• Serial number generally ends with V10

Indicators of Fake:

• Deviation from the above patterns
• US version label ending with V10
• Inconsistency between the version and the serial number.

4. Lacing

Authentic Right Shoe:

• From the wearer’s view, the right laces should be underneath the left laces

Authentic Left Shoe:

• From the wearer’s view, the left laces should be beneath the right laces

Let’s go deeper into this:

However, we must remember:

Shoelaces can be been replaced,

This indicator is therefore more applicable to deadstock sneakers (in factory condition and have never been worn or had their laces replaced).

5. Boost sole

5.1. Best fake

Authentic:

• Boost is usually quite bubbly
• Pellets on the boost are distinct

Fake:

• Boost on the sole appears slightly stiffer
• Differences can be observed in the pellets on the boost.

5.2. Mid fake

Fake:

• Pellets on the boost appear rougher
• Pellet arrangement is often too mathematically aligned

Authentic:

• Pellets on the boost have a smoother finish
• The pellet placement is more random on the boost sole.

5.3. Low fake

A quick mention:

• The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
• The next few steps are still reliable methods…
• … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

6. Stitching

Fake:

• Stitching appears shallow and too thick

Authentic:

• Stitching is deeper and appears thinner than on the fake shoes.

7. Toe box

Fake:

• Toe box is overly inflated, appearing bulkier
• Toe box displays excessive curvature

Authentic:

• Toe box is proportionately inflated
• Curvature of the toe box maintains a more natural curve.

Fake:

• Tongue opening appears too wide and too short

Authentic:

9. Insole

9.1. Back

Take the insoles out of the shoes to analyze this.

Fake:

• Adidas Trefoil logo has a shallow embossment
• Characters in “Adidas” are too thick

Authentic:

• Adidas Trefoil logo is deeply embossed
• Characters in “Adidas” are thinner
• There is less distance between the “Adidas” text and the outline

9.3. Serial number
