How to spot fake Off-White Air Max 90 OG White sneakers

Keep in mind that the medial text and the size tags can 100% tell you whether you’ve got the real or fake Off-White Air Max 90s. You’ll always notice the fake pairs having either super thick or evry thin text. Never to be seen on the real pairs!

Step 1: Check the medial text on the left and the right shoes

As we said previously, we consider the medial text being one of the most reliable signs of a fake OW Air Max 90 pair of sneakers.

  • The left shoe

First of all, we are going to check out the real vs fake Off-White Air Max 90 OG sneakers on the left shoe, and then we’ll proceed to the right shoe as well.

As you can see in the fake vs real Off-White Air Max 90 image above, the fake “Off-White” text seems less opaque and more scratched on the fake pair, and on the authentic pair, it is more visible.

Then, next to the “Off-White” text, we’ve got the “TM” print. Generally, the fake Off-White Air Max 90 OG pairs have the “TM” text looking too thick and wide.

Also, the “NIKE” text looks too wide too, and the letter “K” seems to be scratched on the top right leg.

The “c. 1990” text seems a bit too scratched too and too thin on the fake Off-White Air Max 90 OG pair.

The quotation marks (“…”) are also less deformed on the fake pair because one of the marks is bigger than the other one, and the authentic quotation marks are thicker and they both have the same size.

Lastly here, the fake “USA” text is too thin and too wide on the fake pair, and the authentic one is thicker and the text is less wide.

  • The right shoe

Because you now know how to legit check the left shoe Off-White Air Max 90 OG White medial text, it is the time for you to learn how to differentiate the fake vs real Off-White Air Max 90 OG White medial text on the right shoe too.

The “Off-White” legit printed text is thicker than the fake one, and the dash (-) character on the fake Off-White Air Max 90 OG White pair seems smaller than the one on the legit pair.

The replica OW AM90 OG White pair has the black scotch from the left side of the shoe placed differently, as it is too close to the text and it isn’t as arched as the authentic ones.

Also, the fake Off-White Air Max 90 OG White pair has the “c. 1990” text thinner than the legit text.

Step 2: Inspect the OW Air Max 90 OG White for any blue panels

Now, let’s proceed to the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Off-White Air Max 90 OG.

It is worth mentioning that we consider the panels being one of the most reliable ways to spot the fake Off-White Air Max 90 OG White sneakers too.

First of all, let’s have a look at the reference real vs fake Off-White AM90 OG image.

The problem with the fake shoes is that they sometimes have their panels saturated too much.

The authentic shoes must look icy blue as well, but sometimes, the fake Air Max 90s have their panels hued and saturated too much, as they look too bright.

Step 3: Analyze the Swoosh on your Off-White Air Max 90 OG White

Because you now know how to legit check the sneakers by looking at the medial text and the panels, let’s get you to know how to check the Swoosh too, with the help of the fake vs real Off-White AM90 OG image below.
