Ever since Kanye donned a pair of the "White" adidas Ultra Boosts, fans of his have turned this general release model into one of the most coveted of the season.
But with a shoe's popularity and demand, comes the waves of fakes. Considering the shoes have sold out at retail, many folks have turned to the secondary market to cop. In hopes of protecting less-informed sneakerheads from getting duped, a guide was created to help tell the difference between legit and fugazi pairs. Shared on Imgur, the guide is a pretty straight forward breakdown between the two with the most notable difference being the fugazi pairs have a pure white color story while the authentic makes use of a off-white/pure white combination. Another note - which is also mentioned in the guide, but not pictured - is the box. If the shoes come in a box that looks pretty shoddy, chances are they're fake.
So if you're in the market for a pair, protect yourself and check out this guide before dropping your hard earned cash.
