How To Spot FAKE Yeezy Boost 380 V2 in 2023 (All Colorways)

Box Label

Let's start our real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 all colorways comparison with the boxes.

Denoted with a yellow circle check how the box color is lighter and different side by side with fakes having its color super dark is already a sign to tell that it's most likely fake.

As we try to investigate, focus your eyes on those letters printed denoted in the red box with much bolder font, when compared with retail pairs lettering is thinner.

Take note that you can scan these box labels but it cannot determine the authenticity unless we check more details, this is what replica manufacturers are trying to change.

Here's another Box sample that you can compare.

Here's a more obvious thing to check to determine our real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380.

The first thing to notice here is the colorway printed for the real pair, it should say Onyx/Onyx/Onyx while the fake pair says the description says black/black/black. Plus check out those Barcodes if they matched. Number codes aren't the same with retail codes denoted in the yellow rectangular box as the real Yeezy Boost 380 and the red box for the fake pair.

Size Label

Let's check all labels to distinguish the real vs fake size label of our Yeezy Boost 380 from 2019,2020 and 2021.

Let's compare both sizes of the 2019 release Yeezy Boost 380.

Denoted in the yellow circle is the real Yeezy Boost 380 where half sizes are touching that slash when compared with the fake size label of the Yeezy Boost 380 it's not touching that slash. Another thing to check is how the manufacturing date font is different from the other. On the real Yeezy Boost 380, we can say that font boldness is thinner denoted in the yellow box, even that MALE/MALE is thinner compared with the Yeezy Boost 380 replica denoted in that red line.

Here again, for the 2020 released pairs, let's see the difference between the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 when it comes to font boldness.

Checking that Red circle is the fake size label, pointing out that 1/2 size should touch that slash line when compared with that real Yeezy Boost 380 it's just not the same. Also if you can notice how everything font printed on the fake Yeezy Boost size label is just bold.

For our latest size tag comparison for the 2021 check, the following comparison denoted in yellow is the real Yeezy Boost and the red Box for the fake Yeezy Boost 380.

1. See how that N is looking blotchy for the fake Yeezy Boost 380.

2. Spacing of that code in the yellow box is tight compared with fakes denoted in the red box spacing is wider.

3. Check how the printing for the last code is thicker, this is denoted in the 3rd yellow box while that fake Yeezy Boost 380 size tag became thinner. You can see the difference esp. with those zeroes.

Boost

Moving on with our comparison with the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 we now compare and see the differences.

Denoted in the yellow circle for the real Yeezy Boost 380, just to show you that boost markings with dots on the real pair are pronounced and shaped well.

As for the fake pair, see how those boost pellets and dots are less defined.

Also denoted in that yellow arrow, I wanted to point out how that Boost lettering on the real pair is more pronounced esp. how those letters are formed. Check that thickness and shape.

This kind of Boost is used across all Yeezy Boost 380, color varies but the Boost quality remains the same.

Check out another Boost example below.

Giving you a better comparison of the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 soles, pointing denoted in the upper yellow square is larger, check the size difference vs the other upper red box is looking smaller.

Another thing to compare here is dotted boosts is more pronounced than the real pair, this is denoted in the yellow circle.

Last to mention the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 is the shape of the lower part, denoted in that yellow rectangle, pointing out the shape for the real boost is wider compared with the fake pair it's slimmer.

Rear

Magnified for us to see a clearer difference between the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380, pointing out the shape for the fake Yeezy Boost 380 on the right, corners are sharper compared with the real pair corners it's more curved. Also big difference on this patch to determine the real vs fake Yeezy boost 380 is that texture for the real pair is rough or more textured, compared with the fake patch it's smoother.

Another big difference here is that mid sole design color on the real pair is lighter the fake Yeezy Boost 380 is darker.

Here we the Yeezy Boost Blue Oat, giving you another example of the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 patch and sole color.

I wanted to point out how transparent the rear mid-soles are for the fake pair. Real mid soles are more solid in color.

The patch color denoted again in the yellow box is darker and texture, while the fake pair is too pale in color.

Just another example of what I mean with that patch texture and that midsole conjoined line with retail Yeezy Boost 380 is much cleaner compared to replica pairs.

There are so many colorways for this pair however the quality for these pairs is consistent, by checking the rear part of the sneaker we can notice that on real Yeezy Boost 380 rear stitching is consistent, and the stitch finish is really neat compared with the replicated Yeezy Boost 380, there's a thin gap difference with the seam.

Insole Print

Diving in with the insole prints to determine the real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380, I magnified these prints to give you a better view and comparison. See how the insole print for the fake pair is sloppy and undefined when compared with real Yeezy Boost 380 prints, letters are more pronounced and neat.

Another thing to mention here is that the pinholes for the fake Yeezy Boost 380 material are larger compared to retail.

Sockliner

Moving on with the sockliner material of our real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 comparison. Denoted in yellow lines are the real pair, showing you how pronounced the lines are for the real pair when compared side by side. The fake pair sockliner prime knit pattern is incorrect, with lines of the material being less defined.

Lacing System

Denoted in yellow arrow are for the real Yeezy Boost 380 pattern should happen here, see those right laces go under, while replicas don't pay that much attention to the lacing system for the real Yeezy Boost 380. The replicated pair almost got it right except that the upper lace went over the inner laces

Next to mention here is the lace cover on the fake Yeezy Boost 380 (denoted in red box) looks thinner and elongated. When compared with the real Yeezy Boost 380, the lace cover is more round and short.

Please note that this lacing system works for DS pairs only. Anyone can cut those lace covers and change it to the right pattern.

Side View

For the last guide of our real vs fake Yeezy Boost 380 let's check the sides of the sneaker.

Moving on with the toe box, denoted in the yellow circle, pointing out how the toe box is raised and shaped well. Compared with the fake Yeezy Boost 380 denoted in the red circle, the shape is too flat.

Another thing to mention here is how the heel stance is raised higher compared with the fake Yeezy Boost 380. I have drawn some angles for you to compare these Yeezy Boost 380 ONYX.

Another side view comparison just to show you how those sole stances differ even for other colorways. Retail heel stance is always raised higher vs fake Yeezy Boost 380.

Lastly, to make it clear that the cuts on the sockliner material on the real Yeezy boost 380 the corners are sharper vs the fake Yeezy Boost 380.

Please do note that the prime knit material pattern and design vary and it's not a good indicator for legit checking.
