The fastest and most relevant way to spot fake Off-White Dunk “THE 50” (any of them) is by looking at the size tag. Fake Off-White Dunk The 50 pairs have their text either super thick or super thin, while the authentic Dunks always have their text at the same font-weight.

Authenticating the Off-White Dunk “THE 50” should have you checking the outside and the interior sides. In this tutorial, we’ll go on both sides.

Without any further ado, let’s find the ways to legit check Off-White Dunk “THE 50” sneakers.

How can I spot fake Off-White Dunk THE 50?

As previously said, the most useful way to spot fake Off-White Dunk THE 50 is by looking at the size tags. The fake pairs always have their text visibly different from the real deal. Mostly, fake Off-White THE 50 Dunks have their size tag’s text too thick or way too thin.

Step 1: Size tag comparison – real vs fake Off-White Dunk “THE 50”

Summary: Always look at the font and at the thickness of the size tag’s text.

For the first step, we have to look at the size tags. In case you didn’t know by now, the size tags are located on the panels within the shoes.

Step 2: Check the medial text of your Nike x Off-White Dunk “THE 50”

Summary: Fake pairs always have their text at the wrong font-weight.

The second step of the Off-White Dunk legit check guide is also the second most reliable authentication factor: the medial text.

We’re going to begin with the medial text on the left shoe, and then we’ll look at the right shoe’s text as well.

1. The left shoe’s medial text – fake vs real Off-White Dunk THE 50

The image with the fake vs real Off-White Dunk THE 50 pairs above shows you how the fake pair has its text at different font-weights. That will never occur on the real pairs.

The “NIKE” text on the fake pair is too thin, while the real pair’s same inscription is thicker. Then, the “Beaverton” and the “c. 1985” prints on the fake pair are too thick, while the real pair has the same prints looking thinner.

2. The right shoe’s medial text – fake vs real Off-White Lot 50 Dunks

Let’s move on to the right shoe’s medial text as well. First of all, the real vs fake Off-White Dunk image.

The image with the fake vs real Off-Whtie Dunks above shows you two key differences: first of all, the fake pair has its text too narrow and too cramped, and second of all, the text is also too thin on the fake pair. Looking at the real pair, you can see how it is exactly the opposite.

Step 3: Verify the midsole’s badge and the inscription from above

Summary: Make sure that the text isn’t too small and thin, like on the fake pairs.

Let’s flip the shoes to their exterior profile sides, as we now have to focus on the badge which says “X OF 50”. We’ll also take a quick look at the text printed above the midsole.

The image with the fake Off-White Dunks above shows you how the “OF” text is too small and too thin. At the same time, you can also notice how the “FA_21_585_9470” print above the midsole of these LOT 50 Off-White Dunks appears to be too thin.

Step 4: Zoom into the stitching on the back of your Off-White Dunks

Let’s go to the back of the shoes, as we need to talk a bit about the three lines of stitching on the middle area of the fake vs real Off-White “THE 50” Dunks.

The image with the fake vs real Off-White LOT 50 Dunks above shows you how the fake pair has its stitches looking too thick, and how they’re are also too small.

Real Off-White Dunks will never have their stitches that way. As you can see, the genuine pair’s threads are thinner and longer.

Step 5: Check the toe box of your Off-White Dunk “THE 50”

The toe box is the front part of the shoes. In most cases, you’ll see how the fake Dunk pairs tend to have their toe box smaller than the real ones.

As you can see, the appearance of the fake Off-White Dunks is wrong – the toe box is too small, and it has a sort of “deflated” look when put side-by-side with the real deal.

You’ll always see the genuine Off-White Dunk toe boxes having a bulkier look than the fake ones.

Step 6: The tongue badge on the real vs fake Off-White Dunk “THE 50”

Now’s the time to go to the upper side of these shoes. The LOT 50 Dunks also have the classic Nike x Off-White Dunk tongue badge with the orange Swoosh.

The image with the fake vs real Off-White Dunks above shows you how the fake “THE 50” Dunks have their stitching too thin. The threads are supposed to be thicker, just like on the real pair’s tongue. At the same time, the threads are also too long on the fake pair, whereas the ones on the genuine Dunks are longer.

Step 7: Have a look at the threads on the midsoles

Moving further to the seventh and also the last step of the guide, we’ll now have to legit check the Off-White Dunk LOT 50 pairs by looking at the midsoles.
