How To Spot FAKE Yeezy 450 in 2023 (All Colorways)

Box Label

Let's begin the inspection with the boxes of the real vs fake Yeezy 450 in all colorways.

Denoted by the yellow rectangle, we can see that the EPC Inside is different when compared with the replica which is marked in the red rectangle, text of the Inside looks too thin vs the real Yeezy 450. This is one flaw that replicas don't pay attention to.

In addition, keep in mind to check the box label when buying online, details are below.

Authentic Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Box Labels will have: 1. US Box Label: 3 sizes (US, F, UK), 2 versions (V02, V03), PO# UPC 2. Canada: 6 sizes (US, F, UK, D, J, CHN), 1 version (V10), PO# UPC 3. EU Label: 6 sizes (US, F, UK, D, J, CHN), 1 version (V10), PO# EAN

Another example to determine the real vs fake Yeezy 450 is to check those SKU codes, whereas you can see denoted in the red rectangle, codes matched when compared with the authentic Yeezy 450. Give it a try and find what product it will give you.

Again we try to Inspect the Inside text, looking different. A good way in finding out the real and fake Yeezy 450 is to pay attention to those details, like the font looking different when compared to the real Yeezy 450.

Size Tag/Inside Label

Moving on with the size tags of the real vs fake Yeezy 450, we now try to compare both pairs.

Not that prominent to see, but the printing and font boldness is off. The retail size label is much bolder when compared to the replica.

To give you more value in determining the real vs fake Yeezy 450 size tag, I have included another legit size tag for you to compare your sneaker and find out if it's real or fake Yeexy 450.

These tags are commonly found with Yeezy 450 Sulfur, Utility black & Cinder.

Lacing

We have discussed this lacing placement with all our Yeezy guides, and to date, nothing has changed.

For the right shoe - an authentic Yeezy 450 will have the right-sided lace go underneath the left lace.

Additional Tags

Hangtags is a good legit checking guide as well to know the real vs fake Yeezy 450.

Denoted with a red smaller rectangle, the real vs fake Yeezy 450 hangtag style code is placed higher than retail. Above this code with Yeezy 450 print on retail, denoted in a yellow rectangle, we can all see that the print quality is clearer, longer, and bolder when compared with the fake Yeezy 450. Another thing to consider is that the EPC logo on the fake Yeezy 450 is smaller than the authentic hangtag.

Adding this part t show you if your pair came from the UK, it should have 3 types of hangtags.

Back Insole

Moving on with the back insole comparison of our real vs fake Yeezy 450, we can see some differences if we check the color tone of the fake Yeezy 450, the color is faded blue compared to the retail, and the blue color is more vibrant.

Adidas Yeezy 450 uses these Ortholite insoles for comfort and support, we can also some differences in the Adidas font. Notice how pronounced the authentic Adidas lettering is compared to the fake Yeezy 450.

UV Light

Another thing to consider is by using some black light, however, you won't see any differences on the upper material even if you use a black light at least for this example, we are using some high-tier replica here. The soles will definitely tell the differences between the real vs fake Yeezy 450. Notice the color and how the fake Yeezy 450 reacts with the black light. Fake pair Yeezy 450 outer soles have 1 color because it's made like in 1 piece, vs 2 colors for retail, one color from the side, and one from the outsole.

Sole

Checking the Adidas Trefoil logo, denoted in the yellow circle, we can see some differences in the real vs fake Yeezy 450. On the real pair, the Adidas logo and lettering are much more defined and sharp when compared with the fake pair logo is not as sharp and not well engraved.

Rear

We now go check the rear end of the Yeezy 450.

Real vs fake Yeezy 450 is already obvious when it comes to the shape. I have added some text to the picture for you to understand what I mean. Another important thing to mention and check is the line separating the midsole and outsole. On real Yeezy 450, this line is present, fake pairs usually forgot about this detail.

Prime Knit

The next thing to check is the Prime knit material. I believe we don't need much explanation here for you to see the differences between the real vs fake Yeezy 450. The materials used are just different.

Side Panel

The claws are hard to differentiate here, one thing to notice here is how the real 450 is more shiny compared to the fake pair, it's dull looking.
