Short authenticity checklist

No time to legit check with the whole guide?

Use this list instead:

1. Examine the Size Tag:
   • Analyze the size tag. Fake Nike Sacai Blazers often have the “BV0072-700” text appearing excessively thick.
2. Inspect Interior “NIKE sacai” Tongue Tag:
   • Examine the interior “NIKE sacai” tongue tag. Counterfeit Sacai Blazers may have deformed letters with extra threads.
3. Check Exterior “NIKE sacai” Tongue Tag:
   • Inspect the exterior “NIKE sacai” tongue tag. Typically, fake Nike Sacai Blazer pairs have the “sacai” text appearing too thin with excessive spacing between the letters.
4. Verify Swoosh Placement and Stitching:
   • Confirm the placement and stitching on the Swoosh. Inauthentic blue Swooshes may not be visible and highlighted in the interior of the midsole, while authentic Swooshes are. Counterfeit blue and white Swooshes may have too many and overly thick stitches.
5. Analyze Heel “Stairs” Structure:
   • Analyze the structure of the heel “stairs.” Fake “stairs” on the heel often appear overly long and large on counterfeit pairs.
6. Check “NIKE sacai” Rear Text:
   • Examine the “NIKE sacai” rear text. In fake Nike Sacai Blazers, this text may appear too small.
7. Verify Toe Box Shape:
   • Verify the shape of the toe box. Fake Nike Sacai Blazer pairs may have a toe box that appears excessively curvy, arched, and round.
8. Inspect Laces:
   • Inspect the laces on your Nike Sacai Blazers. Fake laces may have sharp edges and a less smooth texture compared to authentic ones.
9. Check Box Label:
   • Examine the box label. The text indicating the size of the Nike Sacai Blazer pair on fake boxes is often too small and thin, while retail text is larger and thicker.
