We are going to teach you how to spot fake SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes within only a few steps inside this guide.
Along with every step of our fake vs real Street Hawker Dunk legit check guide, we are going to link reference images that will containing both the genuine and the fake pairs.
These images will help you easily spot the differences between the fake vs real Nike Dunk Street Hawker shoes.
To put it shortly, the fastest way to spot fake Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes is to look at the size tag inside both of the shoes, as well as analyzing the sneakers from the rear side, since the replica items never have their inscriptions and stitchings defined as good as the legit Street Hawker Dunks.
For the first step of the guide on how to spot fake Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker 2021 sneakers, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Street Hawker 2021 Dunks for their size tags.
Just as how we’ve previously mentioned, we consider the size tag as the very best way to spot fake Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes.
That is because the replica pairs never have their inscriptions properly defined, while the genuine Street Hawker SBs always have their text on point, without any sort of flaw.
First things first, let’s have a look at the fake vs real Nike Street Hawker Dunk image below, and after that, we’ll explain the situation on the two pairs.
In the image with the fake vs real Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes above, we have pointed out how the fake Dunks have four main and visible flaws.
First of all, looking at the style-code’s text, “CV1628-800″, you can see how the fake Nike Street Hawker 2021 Dunks have their text looking really thick.
On the other hand, the same inscription on the genuine Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes appears thinner and slimmer than the fake pair’s text.
Going two lines of text lower, you can see how the fake pair has its “UPC” text and its numbers looking once again really thick, while the authentic Street Hawker Dunks have their “UPC” text and numbers thinner.
Then, in the bottom-left side of the size tag, we have the “MADE IN VIETNAM” lines of text, which on the fake pair, these are once again too thick.
In fact, this flaw can be easily observed if you look at the letters “M”, letters that are filled in with too much colour, therefore giving this thicker look when compared to the legit Street Hawker Dunks.
Lastly, looking at the last line of text with a link that leads Nike’s website, you can see how the fake Street Hawker SBs have their characters looking really thin, while the authentic shoes have their text thicker.
Moving on to the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Street Hawker Dunks from the rear side.
For this step, we are going to check the Chinese inscriptions, as well as the stitches on pretty much every part of the fake vs real Street Hawker Dunks.
Since the left and the right shoe on the Street Hawker Dunks are different, we are first going to look at the left shoe’s details, and then, we will have a look at the fake vs real Street Hawker Dunks on the right shoe as well.
In the image with the authentic vs replica Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes above, you can see how the fake shoes has its Chinese character on the yellow patch looking really thin.
On the other hand, the genuine Street Hawker SBs have their Chinese character looking thicker and more defined when compared to fake pair’s text.
Then, in the middle side’s white patch, you can see how there are three stripes of stitching, and on the fake Street Hawker Dunk’s left shoe, you can see how the stitches are too thick.
Actually, the stitches have this thicker look because they are fit too deep inside the leather, and so, that’s why they look more massive compared to the real pair’s stitches.
Looking at the genuine Street Hawker Dunk’s three stripes of stitching, you can see how each thread in these three stripes look thinner and less massive when compared to the fake pair’s stitches.
Lastly, below the white patch, you can see how there is double-stitching line that looks too thin on the replica Dunks, and how that double-stitching line looks thicker and more defined on the legit pair.
Now that you know how to spot fake Street Hawker Dunks by looking at the size tag and at the inscriptions and stitches on the left shoe, let’s proceed to the ones on the right shoe.
Just as always, let’s first quickly have a look at the reference fake vs real Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker image below, and after that, we will fully explain what happens on the legit and on the fake shoes.
In the image with the real vs fake Street Hawker Dunks above, we have pointed out how the fake Street Hawker Dunks have their details flawed.
Starting with the Chinese character on the brown patch, you can see how the fake shoes have their character looking too small and also too thin.
On the other hand, the authentic Street Hawker Dunks have their Chinese character looking bigger and thicker than the fake pair’s character.
Then, the three stripes of stitching on the fake pair’s blue patch look too thin, as this time, the stitches are not fit as deep as they have to be, therefore having this thin look.
Looking at the genuine shoes’ three stripes of stitching, you can notice how the stitches are thicker and fit deeper into the blue leather patch when compared to the fake pair’s stitches.
As for the last flaw on the fake shoes, you can see how the double stitching line below the blue patch is looking too thick, and how the threads are generally just smaller than the legit pair’s stitches.
The authentic Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker 2021 pair has its double-stitching line’s overall look being thinner than the fake pair’s look, and going more into detail, the threads on the legit shoes are bigger than the ones on the fake pair.
Proceeding to the next way on how to spot fake Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Street Hawker Dunks for their Nike Swoosh logo on the side.
In most cases, the replica Street Hawker Dunks have their stitching on the logo improperly defined, and so, remember to always closely look at the stitching on the logo.
In the image with the fake vs real Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes above, we have pointed out how the replica Dunks have their stitching on the logo improperly done.
That is because the fake pair has its stitches on the Nike Swoosh logo thinner and appearing less visible when compared to the real pair’s stitches.
Speaking of which, if you look at the authentic pair’s logo, you can see how the stitches are thicker and more noticeable when compared to the fake pair’s threads.
Moving on to the fourth method on how to spot fake Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker, we are going to have a look at the text on the badge on the exterior side of the tongue on the fake Street Hawker SBs.
In the image with the fake vs real SB Dunk Low Street Hawker above, we have pointed out how the “DUNK LOW PRO” text on both the fake pair’s left and on the right shoes’ tongues is badly font-weighted.
That is because, from this angle, the left shoes’ text is too thin, and the right shoes’ text is too thick, while on the genuine shoes, you can see how both of the shoes have the same thickness for their text on the tongues.
The steps we’ve written so far are the best ways to authenticate this item.
The next few steps are still reliable signs of authenticity but are for non-top-versions of replicas available for this item. We recommend sticking to the steps we’ve explained above to make sure you’re not drawing the wrong conclusions.
As for the fifth step of the guide on how to spot fake Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker, we are going to flip the shoes to their profile side, and we will have a look at the badge on the side of the shoes.
In the image with the fake vs real Nike SB Dunk Street Hawker 2021 shoes above, we have pointed out how the fake pair has its black borders on the circle, on the Chinese characters and on the squares looking too thin.
Looking at the genuine Nike Dunk Street Hawker shoes, you can see how their black borders are looking thicker and bigger than the fake pair’s borders.
For the sixth step of the guide on how to spot fake Nike SB Dunk Street Hawker shoes, we are going to zoom out a bit from the exterior profile side of the shoes, and we will have a look at the toe box of the shoes.
As you can see in the image with the fake vs real Street Hawker SB Dunks above, the replica pair has its toe box looking too little curvy up to the edge.
On the other hand, the tip of the toe box on the authentic Street Hawker Dunks looks curvier and angled more than the fake item’s toe box.
As for the seventh step of the guide on how to spot fake Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes, we are going to have a look at the stitching on the midsole of the real vs fake Street Hawker SBs.
These threads on the midsole are what keeps the upper side of the shoes glued to the sole of the Street Hawker SBs Dunks.
In the image with the authentic vs fake Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes above, we have pointed out how the fake Dunks have their stitching on the midsole too little visible.
The genuine Nike SB Dunk Low Street Hawker shoes have their stitches on the midsole more visible, as they are easily noticeable, unlike the fake shoes’ stitches, which are hidden.
The eighth step is the one which we are going to end this fake vs real Street Hawker Dunk guide, and so, we are now going to have a look at the labels glued to the boxes of the real and the fake Nike Dunks.
In the image with the fake vs real Nike Dunk Low Street Hawker pair’s box labels, you can see how the fake pair has its style-code’s text too thin (the “CV1620 800” text).
On the other hand, the authentic Street Hawker Dunk pair’s box label has its same inscription looking thicker and more defined when put side-by-side with the fake box’s text.
