Real vs Replica
Nike Dunk Low Off-White Pine Green
Today's REAL VS REPLICA op-ed: Nike Dunk Low Off-White Pine Green (CT0856-100).
At first glance, the appearance of the shoe is different already on the replica. The replica is off-white in color, compared to the real shoe. The green and white are also more distinctive on the real shoe. The Swooch on the replica has "furry" stitching which you would not be able to find on the real shoe.
This particular style does not use glue on the insole, but we can differentiate by the printing on the rubber. The replica has bulkier and wider lines making the insole look inflated.
Lastly, the positioning perforation on the insole is also a tell-tale sign. On the real shoe, the perforation is large and circular, produced by a stencil. Similar to the stencil detail on the shoebox, the real shoe bears light stencil marks, whereas the replica has a rectangular, heavy printing.
To prevent replicas from catching up, we won't disclose all the details here. If you have questions or a pair that needs authenticating, head over to the LEGIT app where our professional sneaker veterans can get back to you.
