Whats the easiest way to tell on Flyknits if they're fake? I had no idea they had fakes of these

Will the upc code be different on the back of the tongue?

one thing i've noticed that the one thing that seperates almost all fakes from legit ones is the markings on the ankle collar. Real ones have 6 markings on each side of the heel tab, while fakes almost always have more.

Gotta say that that's just the first thing i look out for, if that checks out i still check other things like the knit on the toebox, the shoebox, and the tongue label just to be sure.

I know many folks ask for a legit check from time to time with the trainers, so I took some time and did Real vs Fake. 

I recently purchased Fake Flyknit trainers off of Ebay and with that mistake I used it to my advantage to educate some of you with the Real vs Fake. 

It was purchased via Paypal so I was safe and got my money back. 

The photos will do most of the explaining. The differences with fakes and real are circled in red.

**NOT ALL FAKE TRAINERS WILL EXHIBITS THE SIMILIAR FEATURES THAT I POSTED**

Hope this will help many to distinguish between the fakes and real.

Can we Sticky that post to first page!

I have never seen a fake racer. only a bunch of fake trainers.  Those red trainers are probably the best fakes ive seen, the color and the box is a give away. 
 
Sorry for the L FlipSide FlipSide . Aside from the toebox, they look pretty legit.

I am going to reorganize the front page and pin the fake v real post in there as well. On the front page, since the pic of each shoe is captured individually, it is getting a little clustered with the long list of past and future releases (it takes too long to scroll down).

Would a helpful NTer with some graphic design skills :smokin mind taking the individual pic of each shoe, then consolidating the shoes based on Batch release into one picture? I.e. All Batch 1 pictures are consolidated into one picture but we'd see the SKU # etc for each shoe listed. So in total, we'd shrink the first page to about 8-10 total pics (with the HTM releases as their own separate pics). I think this is done in other threads like the Flyknit Lunar. Whoever helps out please PM me with the new pics. Thanks.

I met him up and paid cash, the dude seemed cool but I should of checked the shoes more thoroughly (it was late night). So I guess its pretty unanimous that they're fake, even I could tell now, but here are some pictures anyways

I'm gonna hit him up right now and if I can't get my money back I'll just take the L

The tone/hue or red is a DEAD giveaway. They look dull as hell and look orange basically. This may be because of your camera though.

The toe box is another obvious flaw.

Easiest way to tell are the dark spots on the toe box on fakes.

Never seen any fake racers before.

It's my camera, the red looks a lot darker in person.

edit: I contacted the guy and he told me he's gonna give me a full refund. Hopefully everything goes as planned.

FML. I'm 32 and for some reason my feet just decided they wanted to grow. Now i have 7 pairs for flyknits that dont fit. All trainers and racers. Looks like I'm back on the hunt for everything.
