1. Check the size tag of your shoes. Most often, replica sneakers have improperly font-weighted text on the size tag.
2. Verify the Nike Swoosh logo on the side of the shoes. Fake sneakers tend to have Swooshes that are too thin, improperly placed, and sized compared to authentic pairs.
3. Look at the Nike Swoosh logo on the blue plastic tongue badge. Counterfeit pairs often have Swooshes that appear too thick and less curvy than the authentic sneakers’ logo.
4. Analyze the toe box area of your shoes. Counterfeit Nike Air Max 270 React x Travis Scott shoes typically have a toe box that looks overly thick and over-inflated compared to authentic pairs.
