You might be here because you want to know how to spot the real vs fake Off-White Air Presto White sneakers. If so, you are in the right place.

First of all, we would like to inform you that we’ve sorted everything into just 12 spots to look at when checking the fake vs real Off-White Air Presto White sneakers.

If you want to take the short path on how to spot fake Off-White Air Presto White sneakers, we invite you to visit the bottom of this article.

There we have listed all of the tells with the shortest but most coherent information on how to spot fake Off-White Air Presto White sneakers.

If not, then we recommend you keep on reading the article in order to see the fully detailed spots on the real vs fake Off-White Air Presto White shoes.

Without any further ado, let’s see how to check the fake vs real Off-White Prestos.

Check out these legit check guides: Off-White Presto Black, Off-White Presto OG.

How to spot fake Off-White Air Presto White

You should first check the medial text – it can instantly tell a fake Off-White Presto pair. Why? Because fakes always have their text overly smudged, and hence, with a very thick appearance that’s never to be seen on the real OW Presto White.

Step 1: Verify the medial text on your Off-White Prestos

As we said previously, we consider the medial text to be the best spot to look at in order to spot fake Off-White Air Presto White sneakers because it is every time flawed by the replica Off-White x Nike manufacturers.

Medial text on the left shoe

Let’s have a look at the left shoe’s medial text, and then at the right shoe’s text.

Now that you took a look at the real vs fake Off-White Presto reference images, let us explain the flaws on the fake Prestos.

First of all, you can easily notice how the fake Off-White Presto pair has its medial text placed too much to the left side of the sneakers, as it is placed too close to the sockliner.

On the other hand, the authentic Off-White Presto White shoes have their medial text placed more to the right side, further away from the sockliner, rather than the fake pairs which are exactly the opposite.

Medial text on the right shoe

Now because you know how to inspect the medial text on the left shoe, let’s move on to the medial text on the real vs fake OW Presto White sneakers on the right shoe a well.

It is true that the medial text has to be less visible than what most of the people would think it has to be, and it isn’t really legible on the authentic Prestos either, but on the fake ones, it is a lot less visible than it has to be on the legit sneakers.

Also, the same flaws from the left shoe’s medial text apply as well to the right shoe: the fake shoes have their text placed too close to the sockliner, while the legit shoes have their text placed further away from the sockliner.

Step 2: Inspect the “AIR” text on the rear tab of the Off-White Prestos

As for the second step of the Off-White Presto White legit check guide, we are going to analyze the “AIR” text printed on the rear tab of the fake vs real Off-White sneakers.

how can i spot fake off-white presto white

In the fake vs real Off-White Air Presto White reference image above, we have pointed out how on the fake sneakers, the “AIR” text printed on the rear tab of the sneakers has a worse quality than the one on the legit shoes.

The authentic Off-White Air Presto’s “AIR” print appears more visible and clear, while the fake sneakers’ “AIR” print seems to be a lot easier to wear off.

Step 3: Check the toe box area of the Off-White Presto sneakers

As for the third step of the guide on how to spot fake OW Presto White shoes, we have to move on the front side of the sneakers and inspect the height of the toe box.

off-white presto white legit check tutorial

In the fake vs real Off-White Presto White image above, we have pointed out how, on the fake Off-White sneakers, the toe box area looks over-inflated.

By that, we mean that the counterfeit Off-White shoes are most common to have their toe box area looking a lot bigger and higher than the front side of the authentic OW Presto shoes, as it is visible in the real vs fake OW Presto image above.

Step 4: Analyze the cages on the OW Presto

Moving to the inner and the outer sides of the Off-White Presto White shoes, we are going to look around at the shape of the cages.

By cages, we are talking about the matte/semi-opaque area we are about to highlight in the real vs fake Off-White Presto reference images below.

The inner OW Presto cage

The same as from the medial text, we are going to first look at the inner cage of the OW Presto, and then, and the outer cage.

off-white presto white authentic vs fake

In the Off-White Air Presto real vs fake images above, we have pointed out how the fake sneakers have their inner cages differently shaped.

In fact, the counterfeit Off-White Presto OG sneakers have their negative spaces between the lines are a lot rounder, wide and undefined.

On the other hand, on the authentic Off-White Presto shoes, the negative spaces between the bars are smaller, more defined and at the same time, less wide than the ones on the fake shoes.

The outer OW Presto cage

Now that you had a look at the interior side’s cage, let’s move on to the exterior cage of the real vs fake OW Presto White sneakers.

In the fake vs real OW Presto White image above, we have pointed out how, on the fake Prestos, the empty spaces inside the cage are wider than the ones on the legit pair.

Helped by the green line for the legit OW Presto sneaker’s arching of the cage, and the red line for the OW Presto’s cage, you can deduct how the fake sneakers’ cage looks a lot curvier and arched than the legit OW Presto cage.

Step 5: Look at the Swoosh logo on the midsole of the Off-White shoes

For the fifth step of the real vs fake Off-White Air Presto White legit check guide, we have to analyze the little Swoosh logo placed on the midsole of the sneakers.

how to legit check off-white presto white

The fake sneakers have their little Nike Swoosh logo looking less wide at the curving on the interior side of it, making the fake Swoosh look curved more of a sudden than the authentic Nike Swoosh logo.

On the other hand, the legit midsole small Swoosh logo appears to be wider than the one on the fake sneakers, curving less of a sudden than the fake shoes’ logo.

Then, on the rear side of the Nike Swoosh logo on the midsole, you can see how the fake shoes’ midsole Swoosh logo is thicker at its edge than the authentic Swoosh.

Lastly, for this little Swoosh logo, you can see how on the fake sneakers, in the middle of the Nike logo, there is a little curve which makes the Swoosh look a lot curvier than it has to be on the legit sneakers.

Step 6: Real vs fake Off-White Presto orange tab

Now, we have to go a bit higher from the midsole and inspect the little orange tab on the side of the Off-White Prestos.

how to spot real vs fake off-white presto white

In the Off-White Air Presto White fake vs real image above, we have pointed out the fact that on the fake sneakers, the orange tab appears to be longer in both width and height, while the authentic sneakers’ orange tab is shorter.

Be careful about the round-corners flaw on the fake Prestos. most of the time, the fake Off-White Presto’s orange tab will have round corners, while the authentic Presto’s corners have to be always sharp and squarely.

Step 7: Verify the perforations on the toe box

Now, we have to go on the frontal area of the sneakers again, and inspect them from a top-down view in order to analyze the holes in the toe box of the real vs fake OW Presto shoes.

how to tell fake off-white presto white

As you can see in the fake vs real Off-White Air Presto reference images above, we have pointed out the fact that the toe box perforations on the fake sneakers have different dimensions.

In fact, the fake Off-White Air Presto White sneakers’ toe box perforations appear to be less wide and smaller than the perforations of the legit shoes.

Step 8: Check the size tag of your Off-White sneakers

Inside the sneakers, you may have noticed the fact that there is a little tag that indicates the size of the sneakers and the country of the production on the Off-White Prestos.

off-white presto white authentication

In the real vs fake Off-White Presto image above, we have pointed out at the fact that the “XB” text at the top of the size tag is most common to be misplaced on the fake sneakers.

In fact, the replica Off-White Air Presto White sneakers usually have their “XB” print at the top right corner of the size tag placed too close to the right edge of the size tag, while the legit print has to be placed more to the left from the edge of the size tag.

Also, be careful of different font-weights. It is visible in this real vs fake OW Presto example above how, on the fake sneakers, the “AA3830-100” text (which indicates the ID for the sneakers) is thicker than the print on the authentic OW Presto shoes.

Step 9: Verify the soles of the Off-White Air Presto White sneakers

Flipping the sneakers upside down, you can see that the soles are really detailed, and in fact, they have some dots on the squares on the soles.

The dots on the squares of the OW Presto White soles are, first of all, a lot thicker on the counterfeit OW presto sneakers, and on the authentic shoe, they look a lot thinner.

Second of all, the circles are often not even centered in the middle of the squares on the replica shoes, and on the authentic ones, they are always centered in the middle of the squares.

Step 10: Fake vs real OW Presto Swoosh logo

Now we are going to move on to the Nike Swoosh logo on the side of the Off-White Air Presto sneakers and inspect it on both the fake vs real OW Presto.

Swoosh curviness

First, we are going to inspect the curviness of the Nike Swoosh logo on the OW Presto White sneakers then the stitching, and lastly the positioning.

Most of the time, the counterfeit Off-White Air Presto’s Nike Swoosh logo will be curved at a smaller angle than the authentic ones.

By that, we mean that the replica OW Air Presto White sneakers have their Nike Swoosh logo looking less curvy than the authentic logo.

Swoosh stitching

Let’s move on from the curve and the shape of the Nike Swoosh logo on the Off-White Prestos to the stitching on the logo.

As you can see in the fake vs real Off-White Air Presto image above, the counterfeit Off-White sneakers’ stitching that’s placed on and around the Swoosh logo is shorter and less defined than the stitching on the legit pair.

In fact, the fake Off-White Air Presto White sneakers’ stitching over and around the Nike Swoosh logo appears to be longer and more textured and defined than the stitching on the fake shoes.

Swoosh placement

Let’s have a look also at the placement of the Nike Swoosh logo on the real vs fake Off-White Air Presto sneakers.

As you can see in the real vs fake Off-White Presto images above, we have pointed out how, on the replica OW Presto White sneakers, the Nike Swoosh logo is placed a lot higher than the one met on the legit shoes.

You can take as a reference spot the line that separates the midsole from the toe box area next to the orange tab.

Looking at that line, you can sense how the fake Swoosh is placed above it, and how the authentic one is placed a little bit below it.

Step 11: Check the height of the tongue of the real vs fake OW Presto sneakers

Step 12: Real vs fake Off-White Air Presto insole

For the twelfth and the last step of the fake vs real Off-White Air Presto White legit check guide, we are going analyze the insoles of the sneakers.

off-white presto white fake vs real

In the Off-White Air Presto White fake vs real image above, we have pointed out the fact that the fake sneakers’ “THE TEN” print on the insole looks a lot thicker than it has to be.
