Real
 
Problem is now the quality of fakes for air yeezy 2 is crazy.

Check out these pics coming from a china factory:

They got the color perfect, the toebox, suede even the sole is changed and not transparent and the glow is crazy.




They use the exact same materials:





Pretty scary to see this because now everyone will be able to wear air yeezys for a 150$ price.

Lord Jesus this has me scared to buy the real ones. Anyway to tell the difference between the authentic and these high quality fakes?
 
^ makin me wana post more pics to make sure my pair is legit :smh:
only got one confirmation :nerd:
 
Here are some new pictures:

There are a few things different but the things they fixed and scales are crazy. Its gonna be scary and a pain to tell the difference soon. By the way these are pictures of the replicas, no where is there a picture of the authentics.
 
Here they updaed the laces and the lacelocks with the roman numeral II and the lacetips sticking out.
 
That's some good helpful advice an tips too look for am still trying too get a pair of the wolf grey but I know people r selling fake as well so this post was much needed
 
Stay safe people, Il probably purchase the replicas, then recreate a new thread with them comparing to the authentics, because these will be pretty much identical its going to be a very detailed and close inspection of the shoe.

I will update this thread when more photos come out.

Here is a picture of the lacetips, they are now gunmetal and not the color painted black,
 
adding some extra pics for reference.

Legit Checks

1. Lace Tips: (Top quality shine, no ****** paint)

2. Scales: (The right fade and size)

3. Translucent Soles: (Can't see through glow in the dark soles to see black material)

4. Lace Holders: (Look for the roman numeral II)

5. Straps: (Make sure they aren't glossy, they should look Matte)

6. Glow: (MAKE SURE THAT MOFO IS GLOWING LIKE NO OTHER)

The pictures im uploading daily of the factory making PERFECT replicas are starting to match your authentics. its scary.
 
yea, im following too on IG.

pretty scary.. decided i need to get a real pair before all of those are floating around.  gonna be lots of scamming going on..
 
I just got my solars thank god. I was honestly scared for a bit cause of these but I'm glad these ain't release.
 
Man, let's just be clear, the upcoming replicas are dead on. That is scary. Never before have I seen such detail and care into a replica shoe.

Everyone please be very cautious with future Yeezy 2 purchases. Even from reputable places like FCNY. These will fool people, so if you want a pair, BUY THEM NOW.

Myself, who has been pretty active against fakes and helping people decipher the two, can't tell the difference. A few months ago, I would swear up and down the above images were of Nike retail pairs.

It's our job in this threadf to help people out whom are interested in buying Authentic Air Yeezy 2 shoes. So let's make sure that is the focus.

I am def buying these in both colors and doing a VERY DETAILED down to the amount of centimeters or thickness something is.

Here is an updated picture of the inside, thats the only thing that will not be dead on.

Notice how the stamping is to small. Hopefully this will be a way to easily tell.

Wow that's insane.  I would have thought those were authentic if I didn't see your post at the bottom.

Please continue to post more pictures.  Are there any "giveaways" to differentiate that this replica is a fake?  

You mentioned the insole, but I'm wondering if there's anything else.

Keep us updated on your findings.
