Honestly it’s hard to tell. As a reseller who only purchases sneakers from popular retailers, many UAs can come off as defective authentic pairs. I’ve seen some terrible authentic pairs honestly. Real factories make mistakes too 😬
If you buy an UV torch, be sure to buy one with 365nm uv emitters instead of the more cheap and common 395nm. The 365nm emitters are more close to the UV range (almost invisible) and make things glow brighter, while 395nm emitters are closer to the visible light (a mix of blue and purple) and make things glow more faint
Just FYI I got the St Johns dunks from SNKRS and hit them with a blacklight, there's a bunch of darker color "smears" that show up. It's like they use a different paint or something to cover up defects. It's mostly on the outsole.
a black light also shows any touch up paint that has been applied. i got a pair of ROTY on goat used for $115 last year and i just recently found out the right shoe was touched up with some re paint and you can't even tell with the naked eye. but the black light shows it super well.
@@BGVintage yo can you please reply, my air jordan 1 have a freaking purple color stain on the one side of the side. does it mean its fake? its like a swipe
You're too kind on Adidas and Nike. I've bought shoes from Nike and Adidas that left scars on my Achilles and had to be returned. I've bought and I've read other people's comments about how their QC is shaky at best. The manufacturer making the "real" shoe fir Adidas and Nike is the one selling the defective ones and the so called "fakes" backdoor.
What up peeps? I don't know if I fully believe the blacklight to legit check on the runny glue. I tried it on a pair of my J's that I purchased at FinishLine, and was able to spot glue marks. Anybody else?
waiting for paypal still. if you send them back without paypal saying to then no refund. gotta do what paypal says and wait. seller still hasnt responded. i recorded this 2 days ago lol but still waiting
It was PAINFULLY OBVIOUS B4 they were even outta the box that the Fur was too long on most of the shoe...that was always the first thing to look for ...
I have a pair of Nike Kobe 6 Protro Challenge Red All-Star 2021 DH9888-600 *Size 9.5* How can i tell they are fake? I see no stamp but a few glue spots but everything else that looks good.
I will say I do the black light test all the time but yeezy’ s have gotten sloppy with glue. I know mine are legit because they come straight from adidas. My 500 bones are glue city and they came from adidas US. Everything else is fine though.
I have a medicom toy dunk low I got from snkrs and there are a lot of glue marks on the midsole. Is this a common thing for this type of shoe? There is no stamp on the out sole, or stamp on the box either. I'm wary to use stockx or goat since the glue marks are so bad.
Man if it's so hard to legit check a shoe, and if it's so hard to tell the difference between a real and a fake then what's the point in buying the original ones
Yea me neither the moment i seen them I literally said aint no fucking way and he still said “its not a bad fake” that is in fact without a doubt a horrible fake
As a owners of a couple Grateful Dead’s I knew right off the back just from the fur it was fake BUT I could see how someone could get scammed if they never had a pair in hand. Ordered my black light earlier today. Great video.
I have vapormax orange and gold, one pair is fake one is real,you can also tell by the material, fake pair make noise when you walk and to light in weight
Dude for those yeezys how tf or actually why tf would you ask us a question about "What did we notice with the black light "? As you turn the shoe 360 3 xs. Yu turned it 3x asking us what do we see as you don't even put the light on the area fr us to see, u didn't see nothing.
I watched a few of your videos, you KNOW exactly what you're talking about but you speak as if you're unsure or you don't want anyone to blame you for a bad cop or anything. You repeat a lot of things kind of as a disclaimer to let people know you said it but to really keep people on their toes to really look else where for info or cross reference. Keep up the work, edit out some of the doubt when you speak and the channel will grow fam.

LG is the initials of one of the companies in China. People spend all of this money buying shoes but know nothing about the three Chinese family that pretty much own all of the factories that make the shoes.
@@isaiahw1995ify I have dead stock pair of Jordan 11 breds that I got from shoe palace hit it with the black light and it's glue all around the midsole 🤷🏾♂️
Some of the reps come from the same factories they just sell some as a side hustle on the black market. So some aren't even replicas they are made by the same people who make the authentics but they might not pass quality control on purpose or by mistake and the sell them thru backdoors
Jordan 1s are terrible for glue markings, I've looked over all the pair's I've gotten on release day and on snkrs app. Great video Danny keep the content coming
Hit that thumbs up to share this video so everyone can see how to legit check!!! Buy Black Light for Legit Checks: amzn.to/39H1w3B

Very interesting. I need a black light now. Most helpful video I’ve seen.

I don’t think that means they’re fake tho
Just a restoration and clean up for the sneaker
@@BGVintage yo can you please reply, my air jordan 1 have a freaking purple color stain on the one side of the side. does it mean its fake? its like a swipe
@@assassin7250 are they mids or highs? And which color way?
@@BGVintage Jordan 1 high retro Mocha.
So glad I never have to go though all this, cuz I always buy fake shoes 😂
They have better quality and pay less
So are they still made by Nike/Jordan but shouldn’t have been shipped out due to manufacturing faults or are they made by an unrelated company?

Yup
Dope vid. Does scanning the barcode inside the shoe helps with finding out if it’s real or fake?
Following
just curious, why do you still have those? for $1k, those would’ve been sent back for refund immediately.
waiting for paypal still. if you send them back without paypal saying to then no refund. gotta do what paypal says and wait. seller still hasnt responded. i recorded this 2 days ago lol but still waiting
I need a yellow pair myself
It was PAINFULLY OBVIOUS B4 they were even outta the box that the Fur was too long on most of the shoe...that was always the first thing to look for ...
Good idea to leave fakes in donation boxes never thought of that 🤝
I have a pair of Nike Kobe 6 Protro Challenge Red All-Star 2021 DH9888-600 *Size 9.5* How can i tell they are fake? I see no stamp but a few glue spots but everything else that looks good.
So you telling me a difference between a real shoe and a fake one one is hella cheaper and has a invisible stamp on the bottom
LG stands for Life Good
and I'd imagine so, for them, when they scam someone with their fakes
Hahaha cmon, I don't think the Korean electronics company also makes fake dunks on the side lol. Pretty sure it's a different LG
@@jdubb45 lol
Maybe large ?
They went from electronics to shoes 😂
With any type of blue light like those RGB,LED lights to?
Totally helpful wow,in shoe game about 4 pairs starting admire you !
Is there any app that you can used to scan your used sneakers to know the value
I will say I do the black light test all the time but yeezy’ s have gotten sloppy with glue. I know mine are legit because they come straight from adidas. My 500 bones are glue city and they came from adidas US. Everything else is fine though.
Good video but resell buyers make them expensive Nike put a $110 price tag on them so it is possible for glue spots to pass by QC
Do the outsole stitching needs to gloom everytime to be real?
Hey Dan, thanks for the videos.
I have a medicom toy dunk low I got from snkrs and there are a lot of glue marks on the midsole. Is this a common thing for this type of shoe? There is no stamp on the out sole, or stamp on the box either. I'm wary to use stockx or goat since the glue marks are so bad.
I feel you
Are you sure those stains aren’t from in n out drippings?
I buy reps haha... hopefully no one walking around with a black light to check me lol
Man if it's so hard to legit check a shoe, and if it's so hard to tell the difference between a real and a fake then what's the point in buying the original ones
How do you get scammed, if you supposedly know, what to look for ? And whos making fakes and marking them whit special UV ink?
*pulls out acetone* .... what marking??
I don’t need the black light to tell that those Grateful Dead dunks are obviously fake
omg we found yeezy bustas son boys!
WTF!!!
Yea me neither the moment i seen them I literally said aint no fucking way and he still said “its not a bad fake” that is in fact without a doubt a horrible fake
Lmaoo stop pointing that light at me 😭
As a owners of a couple Grateful Dead’s I knew right off the back just from the fur it was fake BUT I could see how someone could get scammed if they never had a pair in hand.
Ordered my black light earlier today. Great video.
Thanks for plugging your channel the 3 minutes of the video
seriously had a hard time seeing what you're talking about with the glue through the video
Some authentic have glue stain my 700 Static have on it very tiny tho and it past for authentic smh.
Now they can make them disappear using heat gun, correct me if im wrong
The black light doesn't prove they're fake cause it you see a lil glue around sole. But that stamp is a give away for fake.
Where’s a good place to get supreme and Yeezy‘s and Jordan
stock x is pricy but be sure they’re 100% legit
I have vapormax orange and gold, one pair is fake one is real,you can also tell by the material, fake pair make noise when you walk and to light in weight
Where’s a good place to pick up the Grateful Dead’s?
I just ordered the Uv light from your description. The total is $15.78. I get it on September 30th.
Got mine today
Is there a way to tell if you don't have a black light?
Lol just buy one. I'm about to do it asap
Here's my problem. If uts that hard to spot it then that's a problem for Nike
How much u selling them fake ones for or is it for sale? gomyvgo
listen to what i said in the video. not selling fakes.
Thanks Danny for this video
Thanks man!
That’s a good tip!!!fakes are getting better by the day
Probably made by the same Chinese child anyways.
Dude for those yeezys how tf or actually why tf would you ask us a question about "What did we notice with the black light "? As you turn the shoe 360 3 xs. Yu turned it 3x asking us what do we see as you don't even put the light on the area fr us to see, u didn't see nothing.
I need uv light 💡
Probably stands for lao gong or the name of the factory owner or batch
Is there anyway they can get rid of that lg mark?
update?
Alcohol
Plsss I have been looking for those for years plsss I don't have or intrgram or tiktok
I just bought nike lebron witness vi the fake one but in original price im in despair.i should watch this before buying.
Not sure about the stamp but Nike and Jordan absolutely have touch up paint on the soles alot of the time. QC is horrible
The link doesn’t work
Seriously, these markings don't mean the shoe is fake, they just mean that the shoes were made in a different factory 💯🤦🏻♂️

Happy to help!
@@DannyMoore2369 trying to get off white sail on resale store here i mostly do reserach first on the store :) but times hard do pay more or less...
Great video
What I want to know is what's the difference in quality compared to the real ones?one thing that is real for sure is the hype beast machine.
I don't think fakes are bad as long as their price and quality are reasonble and don't use fakes for the real
I saw a youtuber buying real yeezy and his pairs had glue like that and they are not fake!!!

When I hit the real sneakers they have discrepancies on them now too. So are some real companies selling fakes too?
