How to Spot FAKE Nike Off-White Blazer Mid in 2023

Box Label

Off-White Blazer White Box

Starting off with the box of the Off white Blazer mids in a white colorway, we need to look at the font used here. Denoted in the green box for the real and red box for the fakes if we compare them side by side The 10 : Nike blazer mid is bolder compared with the real box label. I've drawn a line in each box to let you see and check how the alignment is also different, notice that the green arrow is piercing the side of that letter "D" however with the replica it went further meaning the placement of those size in cm is not aligned well.

The Grim Reaper Box

The main difference between these two boxes is that again the font on the fake box is slightly thicker, however, it's not noticeable to the untrained eye to differentiate the font. If we move our attention to the description under that 8.5 we can now distinguish which one is real and which is fake. The real box label says Black white cone black on the other hand the fake simply says Black Clear. This is a clear indicator that the box below is fake. Another thing to check here is the box color tone, on the real box color is dark brown while the fake one has that pale brown in color.

Off-White Blazer Mids Hollows Eve

Real vs Fake comparison for the two boxes are again the description is wrong. The real box label says Canvass total orange while the fake says Light Beige/Clear Yellow/ Clear Orange.

The real vs fake comparison between these two boxes is that the Barcode paint for the real can be scratched easily compared with fakes. Another difference we can see here is the color of the box for the real pair is darker brown, while the fake box color is pale brown.

Rear

The real vs Fake rear comparison for the Hollows Eve is that the Nike placement for the real is more centered, if we take a look at the fake the placement is lower this is denoted in the red box for the fake and green box for the real. We also need to familiarize our eye's with how the text should look like. Notice how clear the dotted text is for the real and how the fake text is thicker and unclear.

The real vs fake comparison for the first Nike Blazer Off-White white is the Nike spacing, this is denoted in green for the real and red for the fake. See how the real spacing is tighter while the fake has more spacing between letters. This pair has been released since 2017, what I'm trying to say here is that the foam around the sneaker should now be yellow, replicated pairs are still white since the production is still being made. Lastly, the rear should have some ghost stitching for the real pair, while the fakes forgot to include this detail, the swoosh tail placement is also wrong.

Tongue Label

Real vs Fake, we can see some differences for this tongue. Check out the placement of that Nike, for the real, placement is higher while the fake label is a lot lower in placement. Next to mention is how TM is also bolder for fakes while the real TM is thinner and more defined. Lastly, we need to mention how the swoosh color should look esp. for headstock pairs, swoosh should be a more vibrant orange color like the real pair, while the fake tongue label looks pale orange.

The real vs fake difference here is the tongue label color. There's one thing to remember whenever checking for the tongues for these Blazers, the only red tongue label is found on the White Blazer release, other colorways are all in orange.

Sole

There is not much difference for the soles except for the texture, notice how the texture for the real in the green box is a lot more pronounced compared with the fakes in the red box.

The real vs fake comparison for the outer sole is the color gradient difference and the color itself for the real pair is more vibrant while fakes tend to be paler in color. Also, we need to mention that the outer soles for the real pair are more translucent when compared with fakes being hazy or cloudy.

Toe Box

The real vs fake comparison for the toe box is that the real sneaker toe box stitch pattern is more pronounced even if it is covered with that rubber overlay, while if we check the fake pair, the stitch is not as pronounced if we compare the two sneakers.

There are 2 parts that I want to point out here, first the strip tape in front of the real pair is a lot wider, and the stitch beneath it is pronounced, while if we check the replica, this tape is narrower and the stitch beneath it is less defined. Next to mention here is how that rubber toe box overlay for the fake pair edges are looking sharper, on the other hand, the real pair finish is a lot curved and smoother.

The real vs fake differences for Serena Williams's Off-white x blazer mids common flaw for the fake pair is again that the tape strip in front of the fakes looks really pale in color vs the real pair strip is darker. Here's another example of how the rubber finish edges are more round for the real pair while fakes are looking sharper, stitch beneath that tow box is again less pronounced for the fakes while retail pairs are obviously present.

Medial Text

Moving on with the medial text for the Blazer Grim Reaper, just zoom in and notice how defined the letters are printed, real pairs font also looks more smudged. Also, we may need to check also how the ankle counter was constructed, notice how slanted the cuts are for the fake while real pairs are straight up if we compare them side by side. The shape of the toe box is also different sideways, notice how short that toe box is for the fake pair, while retail pairs' toe box is a lot longer.

For this particular release, the medial text for the fake pair is looking a lot darker when compared with the real pair. Just to discuss more differences aside from that medial text, we may need to explore more parts of this inner panel First to notice is that exposed foam on that heel part for the real is less exposed while the fake pair foams are a lot thicker and more exposed. Next to mention is that heel stitching for the fake pair is looking really inconsistent, do note that these are the same size, but the heel stitching is more exposed for the fake vs the real pair being covered by that swoosh tail. If we try to move our attention to that mid panel near that toe box, denoted in the green circle notice that the size is smaller if we compare it with fakes, this part is a lot bigger.

The medial text difference here is how thick the font is, and the letters are more smudged it is for the fake pair while the real pair font used is thinner. If we try to check that suede color, we can see a big difference here, see how the real pair of suede is lighter in color vs the fake pair of suede color being too dark.

Fake vs Real Serena Williams's x Off-White Blazer font for the real pair is slightly bolder compared with the fake Off-White Blazer looking much thinner. If we focus our eyes on that mid-panel square with arrows, the stitch gaps are also wider for real and denser for fakes.

Insole Prints

Diving into the insole prints, we can all agree that the print finish for the fake pair is too shiny, unlike the real pair print quality being more matte in finish. We also need to examine how the X logo edges should be more pronounced.

Real vs fake insole print differences here are that the X logo is thinner for the fake pair and arrow head is less defined unlike the real pair arrow head is sharper. Also, an important detail on font clarity is that "The Ten" print quality should be clear and easy to read, unlike this fake or replica pair "The Ten" print is smudged and barely seen. Check out that the material for that insole is also different.

Laces

Moving on with the laces, we can see differences here. The lettering for the real pair is more defined and centered, while compared with fake letters is thicker and uneven, check out the inner holes of those "A" letters and how wider it is for the real and tighter for replicas.

Ankle Tab

The real vs Fake difference on that tab shape is again incorrect for the fake pair, notice how the corners are rounded for the real pair while the fake pair tab corners are squared or sharper.

Real vs Fake Tab differences here is the Tab color for the real pair is more yellowish while the fakes are neon yellow.

Side Panel

Lastly, the side panel will really give you more differences, notice the swoosh is less curved when compared with the real pair. Another thing to mention here is that side strip tape for the real pair has more texture and is darker when compared with the fake pair.

The off-white blazer white colorway got some differences, notice how dark the suede is for the fake pair.

Also, if we try to check that slanted stitching, the real pair of zigzag stitches are smaller and the gaps are a lot dense when compared with the replicated pair.

Denoted in green boxes for the real, I just want to point out here is the scaling for the real and fake pairs are just different, notice that the space inside that larger square for fakes got more space compared with retail pairs, this section is smaller in scale. Tape is also again darker for retail pairs vs fakes.

My conclusion on the medial text for each Off-White x Blazer release is that the medial text is different in terms of font boldness. We cannot compare the medial text with different releases. This is the reason I have completed all colorways for your private consumption.
