Today's real vs. replica features the iconic Alexander McQueen Oversized Sneaker (Dream Blue).  

Insole - the real insole has a smooth grain texture, with a heavily embossed 'Alexander McQUEEN' logo. The logo is not as obvious on the replica insole, which also has a lighter grain pattern. 

The cardboard of the real insole is a light khaki with light black stamps, whereas the replica's insole is yellow with heavy black stamps. 

The heel tab should have the Alexander McQUEEN logo placed center. The letters should be compact - in this particular case the letters on the replica are too spaced out. If you look closely, the top of the "c" touches the "Q" slightly on the real shoe, which does not happen on the replica. 

Lastly, the logo on the bottom of the should should also be compact and solid. Again, there is too much spacing between each of the letters on the replica version, and the font used is clearly different. The letters "e" and "x" are touching on the real shoe, but far apart on the replica version.
