In this article, let me deal with the most excruciating task of identifying fakes in order to be able to tell the legit Nike Dunk SB shoes. But first let me make a point here, considering the countless models and releases of the sneaker, I have prepared a checklist of most critical few points to help you avoid getting duped although there certainly are and will be more tests you can conduct on individual models specifically. Here we go.
How to tell a Genuine Nike Dunk SB
Let me get on with the business straightaway.
1. Check the lace bag first: Notice the fonts on the shoe lace bag, counterfeits have shoddily painted letters unlike the real ones which are shiny, nice and smooth. Tag pinholes on legit lace bags are located above the zip closures whereas fakes have it below or just about anywhere. However, the telling point is the size which is always 13.5cm x 7.5cm; no less and no more.
2. Upper back heel section - font and embroidery: Legit NIKE embroidery is in bold font and standard spacing. Notice the increasing lengths of the three handles of letter “E”. Each one is longer by 1-2mm from its predecessor. The fonts are always bold and shiny.
3. Outsole on Nike Dunk SB: There are two critical things to note here. The entire logo with letters “NIKE”, the Swoosh and the two “®” are raised to equal heights Fakes, as far as my experience goes, ignore this. Secondly, the circular grip button is well filleted on periphery unlike the fakes where it could be flat and sharp.
4. Zoom Air Sole: Look for workmanship, quality of material etc here. Genuine Zoom Air will have translucent off-white and very neatly done fitment. If you ask me, just the fit and finish of Zoom Air tells whether the piece is genuine or not. Inappropriate fitment and sticking out glue etc indicate counterfeit.
5. Size Tag Label on Nike dunk SB: By far the best place to check whether a piece is genuine. The barcode should touch the date and number below it. Secondly, fake producers almost always fail to use the same fonts as genuine. Example- letter “Q” in “FABRIQUE”. The tail must begin from within the circle in a genuine Nike Dunk SB piece. Even “C” in © must be in Serif only. Why, check the stitching that fixes the label. Fakes look cheap with threads possibly coming loose.
6. The tongue, box and tissue: Genuine Nike Dunk SB shoes have tongues in inverted triangular shapes with the top edge sagging inside. The tongue will project at least by 2cm above the uppermost lace hole. Legit tissue papers will be pure white. Fractional sizes are superscript in bold and are close to the main size. Pink box will not be dull but attractive at their best.
You can add more points but my effort was to educate new buyers by attempting to take you in the right direction of thinking. You need to check a lot on the inside tags, label positions, laces, fabric and material of construction to be sure. But the above points anyway, reveal to you that you are looking at a fake Nike Dunk SB.
