Real Vs. Fake - Adidas NMD R1 Bape by @Fake_Education

Arguably the hottest shoe of 2016, the green camo Bape NMDs are likely to be one of the most copied shoes in 2017! The simplicity of the design makes the NMD an easy target and with bootleggers perfecting their replicas every day, it's getting harder to tell the difference. On that note, let's get educated! 

Correct answer was RIGHT for the real pair on my previous post. Scary how close they are, very easy to get fooled, but this guide will keep you armed with the knowledge to know the difference so you do not get scammed. Tag some friends and stay tuned, comparison with the homie @freshndirty_j drops today

Real via @freshndirty_j The font on the inside of the box of the fakes looks distorted, not as crisp, and not as bold.

Real via @freshndirty_j The real pair came with this sticker inside of the box, the fakes did not. Now of course this sticker could be removed or fall off. Just another difference that was found.

Real via @freshndirty_j The camo design on the fakes is more condensed and inaccurate. If you look at where the emoji "👆🏽" points the bape gorilla design on the real pair, it is higher and is actually a bape gorilla. Then look at the emoji "👆🏽" pointing to the fakes, it is not even a bape gorilla face and sits lower. The pattern will appear to be higher or lower depending on size just bc the build will obviously be bigger or smaller. But regardless the fakes do not have the gorilla face graphic.

Real via @freshndirty_j The highlighted area on the midsole of fakes is ARCHED, it is straight and even in real pairs
