In this guide, we’re talking about fake Yeezy Slides vs real.
Authenticate all Yeezy Slide colorways with our guide.
You can tell if your Yeezy Slides are fake by checking the size tag. Fakes always have thicker inscriptions that are misplaced.
When you are ready to scan the barcode of your Yeezy Slides, we recommend that you use the Legit Check App.
The Legit Check App will run your unique barcode against other Yeezy sneakers online.
For your reference, we’ve taken the authentic Yeezy Slide Core pair. Note that all Yeezy sneakers have a unique barcode that relates to a specific combination of:
After scanning your barcode, you will need to look for matches that confirm the authenticity status of your Yeezy Slides.
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.
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.
On the other hand:
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.

Fast asnwer: Fake Yeezy Slide pairs always have their text either way too thick or way too thin.
The authentic pair’s “MADE IN CHINA” inscription has the same font weight and placement for all of its letters
Once again, the authentic shoes have their text thinner even for the long “US UK FR JP CHN” line of text.
This is the print showing you the date of manufacturing of the shoes. It presents the month and the year in which your Yeezy Slides were manufactured.
In our example:
We can’t tell if the fake date of manufacturing lies or not since they’re not an authentic pair. Though, the real date never lies.
On the second last line of text on the size tag, there we have the hashtag and the numbers which are unique throughout each authentic Yeezy Slide pair.
Back to the real Yeezy Slides, you can notice how this text is also thinner than the one on the fake slides.
Fast answer: The replica Yeezy Slides commonly have their text engraved too deep into the fabric.
This picture above with the fake vs real Yeezy Slides above shows you how:
On the other hand, the authentic Yeezy Slides have their “YEEZY” and the “MADE IN CHINA” text thinner since it fits less deep inside the rubber.
Also, the authentic “US” text is thicker and it has the same font weight as the number “12” next to it.
A quick mention:
If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.
On the other hand, the genuine Yeezy Slides have their toe box less curvy, as it is closer to the ground than the fake pair’s overly-lifted toe box.
On the other hand, the real pair’s tail is not as high as the fake one, as it is way closer to the ground.
Speaking of which, the authentic Yeezy Slides have their logo looking thicker than the fake one because it comes out of the shoes way more than the fake one.

We are now going to talk a little bit about the toe box again, but this time, we’ll flip the real vs fake Yeezy Slides to a top-down view angle in order to perfectly see the opening of the toe boxes.
On the other hand, the authentic shoes have a wider and larger opening of the toe box which looks thinner (the rubber) than the fake pair’s toe box.
In the eighth and last step of the guide on how to authenticate Yeezy Slides, we are going to talk about the marks and the creases which often occur on the fake slides.
Yes, this may sound a bit weird, but some fake Yeezy slides get out of the factories with a few creases.
