How we check every pair

4-point authentication
01
Box, label & SKU
We match the box label, size tag and style code to the shoe. And cross-check the SKU against the manufacturer’s records.
02
Materials & build
Stitching, glue lines, leather grain, paint and smell are inspected against a verified reference pair.
03
Shape & proportions
Silhouette, tooling, logo placement and font are measured. Fakes always slip somewhere.
04
Tag & sign-off
Approved pairs get a Deadstock verification tag with a unique check ID before they ever touch the wall.
The Deadstock tag

Look for the green check.

Approved pairs leave our counter with a Deadstock verification tag and a unique check ID. See it in-store and on every product page. That’s your guarantee the pair is the real thing.
